Premium: Zondo’s final report an official admission of Gupta total control over Zuma
The Guptas, who fled South Africa when Zuma quit power, have always denied wrongdoing, as has the former president.
When authenticity of the Gupta Leaks data dump was confirmed in September 2017, we at BizNews were finally able to relax. It felt like the cavalry had arrived. In the preceding three and a half years the young enterprise had been threatened by Gupta lawyers, defamed by their social media army, and even singled out for attack by the Presidency.
The just released final instalment of the Zondo Commission's report explains why. Its key conclusion is in the Financial Times of London this morning: Zuma protected his Indian friends from all censure. This was the dirty secret at the core of their industrial scale looting of the country.
