Zuma together with Gupta brothers embezzled public money to enrich now defunct media house: probe report
The HinduSouth Africa's former president Jacob Zuma along with Indian-origin Gupta brothers, who had "considerable" influence over him, misappropriated huge amount of public money, including diverting millions of rands to enrich the now defunct The New Age newspaper, according to a probe report on corruption during Mr. Zuma's tenure from 2009 to 2018. The first part deals with the Gupta family’s New Age newspaper, the destruction of South African Airways by Mr. Zuma’s consigliere Dudu Myeni, the capture of the South African Revenue Service and the corruption of the state procurement system through the tender system. The report said the Guptas wielded great influence over Mr. Zuma as they set about looting billions from state enterprises before fleeing the country. Underlining that Mr. Zuma replaced Mr. Maseko with a facilitator, in the form of Mzwanele Manyi, the report said during Mr. Manyi’s term as GCIS Director-General, "millions of rands were spent on TNA in circumstances where there was no credible readership information nor certified circulation figures for the newspaper".
