Home affairs minister Aaron Motsoaledi has revealed that some of the Gupta family members have been trying to get their SA passports renewed.

“What I know is some of them have applied for their passports. I think their pages are full or expired,” he added.“We have got applications [for passport renewals] and we have kept them,” he said, adding that these were filed less than a month ago.

“Obviously there is no way I would be stupid enough [to process them.] The department of justice is looking for them. They are in trouble. They can’t travel to any parts of the world because they are using SA passports,” Motsoaledi revealed. Earlier this year, parliament’s portfolio committee on home affairs had recommended that the SA citizenship granted to the Gupta family be revoked as it was granted fraudulently and in a corrupt manner.

The committee also recommended that the family be criminally charged for submitting false information to back up their application for early naturalisation.

they just dont respect South Africa,

I'm telling you right now Cyril is not going to finish his term or he's not going to get the second term , mark my words the other camp is hard at work mind you he didn't win with a large margin at nasrec

And they will be renewed. ......

Timeslive. These guys are full of problem. Hai. They should stop now.

May someone plz assist me: 1.Are the Guptas formally charged and have skipped their trial? 2. Were they tried in absentia and convicted?2. If so what are the charges in the charge sheet and hw long are their sentences ? Legal eagles may u help?

During the 9 wasted years they would have summoned the DG to their compound and get them processed there some wearing di'dimmers on the photos...Sesotho se re ' se safeleng sea hlola'. NPA should just issue red notice via Interpol after renewing the passports and wait..

The liver!

What a bloody cheek!
