A Gupta-linked middleman company slipped into a Transnet deal and spiked the price of relocating a locomotive-manufacturing venue from Gauteng to Durban from a mere R9.7m to about R700m.

After reading this article, there’s no way you can be confused about the way the Guptas and the complicit ANC president Jacob Zuma have robbed the nation.
South Africa’s state-owned arms company Denel has exited a joint venture with VR Laser Asia, which has been linked to the Gupta family.
First is was consultancy firm McKinsey, and then software developer SAP, to be invited for the attention of the US Securities & Exchange Commission (under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act) amongst other jurisdictions internationally empowered to prosecute bribery.
If it’s not Eskom then, as in this case, it’s Denel, but the Guptas seem to have their paws on anything run by the South African government.
South Africa’s central bank has recommended rejecting a bid to buy Habib Overseas Bank’s local unit because of concerns about the source of the two businessmen’s income and tax declarations.
The resignation of Eskom CEO Brian Molefe who was followed shortly by Mark Pamensky shows something is happening behind the scenes. The momentum is growing and the tipping point is near.
Donwald Pressly says it’s not a surprise to find out that Brian Molefe, who has jumped top job to top job received 58 calls from the Guptas in the last year or so.
State-owned Denel says it will fight Treasury’s efforts to block a deal to market its products in Asia with a company that has been tied to the Gupta family.
Biznews community member Daniel Sutherland thinks a name change for Eskom is in order as the current board, CEO and CFO are completely captured by the Guptas.
