The Editor’s Desk: The Guptas, Angelo Agrizzi, and Iqbal Survé

It was a busy week on the corruption front. News broke that the Guptas have been sanctioned by the US Treasury, closing the net around their empire. Angelo Agrizzi sought and won a postponement ahead of a tough cross examination. And the Financial Sector Conduct Authority raided the offices of Sekunjalo Investment Holdings and African Equity Empowerment Investments, whose chairman Iqbal Survé launched a counteroffensive aimed at Minister of Public Enterprises Pravin Gordhan for alleged misbehaviour. All in all, a week with plenty for South Africans to digest. Join Alec Hogg and I as we dive into these stories. – Felicity Duncan

It was a week of highs and lows in the ongoing struggle against corruption in South Africa. The much-anticipated cross-examination of former Bosasa chief operations officer Angelo Agrizzi by Kevin Wakeford – whom Agrizzi has accused of corruption – was postponed at Agrizzi's request. South Africans will have to wait some more before they get to hear Wakeford's defence and his counteraccusations. The Zondo Commission is working hard to untangle the many webs of lies being spun by accused wrongdoers. It is no easy task.
