Lawyers representing Malusi Gigaba wrongly argued that Nomachule Mngoma shouldn t testify at the Zondo commission due to marital privilege.
Omphemetse Sibanda explains why the lawyer got it wrong.
The State Capture Commission has made it clear that former Cabinet minister Malusi Gigaba will not be allowed to hide behind the veil of marital privilege to prevent his estranged wife Nomachule Mngoma from giving damning testimony about his relationship with the Guptas.
Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, without saying a lot, conveyed a message that those required to turn up at the commission can run from accountability, but can t hide their wrong deeds or their complicity to corruption and state capture.
UK impose sanctions against Gupta brothers
By Kitty Donaldson
(Bloomberg) – UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab will impose sanctions against three Gupta brothers who were previously accused of being in a corrupt relationship with former South African President Jacob Zuma.
Ajay, Atul, and Rajesh “Tony” Gupta are among 22 people from six countries who face restrictions ranging from visa bans to asset freezes after the U.K. expanded its sanctions regime to include corruption for the first time. The Guptas, who no longer live in South Africa, have denied wrongdoing.
The three men, and an associate Salim Essa, were “at the heart of a long-running process of corruption in South Africa which caused significant damage to its economy,” the Foreign Office said in a statement.
