It is believed that the former Indian High Commissioner does not share any relation with the controversial state capture-implicated Gupta family, even though they share the same surname.
"She [Koloane's personal assistant] called me and said DIRCO doesn’t know anything because they [the Indian High Commission] haven’t sent anything. I called the [High Commission] and they said they sent it directly to [the Department of Defence]. I then asked to be given the number and the name of who they sent it to so I could then call," Koloane told the commission.
He says he was put in contact with Command Centre Flight Post officer Thabo Ntshisi. Ntshisi told the commission last week that Koloane pressured him to allow the flight to land."I had no sight of any documentation. I said to him please can you help because the [High Commission] is on my case, can you please process this application. I was out of my office... I think he was already aware of the application, that’s the impression I got," Koloane said.attached.
The commission previously saw evidence in the form of an email from Koloane's personal assistant sent to various senior officials. In the email, Koloane is said to have approved the landing. "I take note of the email my PA sent, which was either a misunderstanding on her side, or my failure to explain it properly to her… Because the email she then sent approves the landing of the flight... which I don’t have the authority to do. I had no legal mandate whatsoever to dictate to any government department," Koloane said.
I think over and above this commission there must be another high level commission to investigate this obvious disregard for protocol which makes this country a banana republic.
If no body knows what that mean?
