The Democratic has laid charges of treason, racketeering and corruption against President Jacob Zuma, three Gupta brothers, and others implicated in the alleged emails published by Sunday Times at the weekend.
The 12 people the DA have laid charges against are:
1. Jacob Zuma
2. Atul Gupta
3. Ajay Gupta
4. Rajesh “Tony” Gupta
5. Ashwa Chawla (chief executive, Sahara)
6. Nazeem Howa (former chief executive, Oakbay)
7. Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba
8. Mineral Resources Minister Mosebenzi Zwane
9. Faith Muthambi, previously minister of communications, now public service and administration minister
10. Co-operative Governance Minister Des van Rooyen
11. Duduzane Zuma, the president’s son with close business links to the Guptas
12. Matshela Koko (suspended acting chief executive of Eskom)
See attached charge sheet. Charge-Sheet-30-May-2017
In the meantime, one of the journalists on the unfolding story of the #Guptaemails or #Guptafiles tweeted that the Guptas were preparing to lay charges against them personally.
Now really now..With all the skeletons coming out at treasury side, they concern themselves with fake emails….
The veracity of the emails has not even been confirmed yet but the DA is using them as the basis of a court case. Its nice to have money and resources hey?
What intrigues me about this email issue is, are South Africans so naive as to believe such a lame story? On a daily basis we hear of hacking, phishing, wikileaks etc, who on earth is so stupid as to discuss such a delicate matter over the internet? If we are to believe everything that the Media says about President JZ’s close relationship with the Guptas, Duduzane Zuma’s close working relationship with the Guptas, was it not possible for these people to arrange private meetings amongst themselves to discuss this? If the Guptas and Duduzane can arrange a meeting with Mcebisi Jonas privately in Saxonwold and not use emails, why then are we to believe that they chose to talk to No 1 using emails? Am awaiting explanation and answers. This is the much awaited outcome from our judiciary.
Dear Lele
You make very interesting observations. I find it bizarre that someone like Mzwanele Manyi, who is connected with Ministers, would want to take his CV to Guptas to place him at a board of a company. I also find it intriguing that Brian Molefe, for example, said to be in the Gupta back-pocket, didn’t send any emails.
We must however wait and see if Guptas challenge the veracity of the emails. We wait and see….

I fail to understand why Maimane has kept quit and never responded to recent information on Treasurey being captured under Pravin and Nene.
Keep up good work PK on information you have given to us on this platform.

Thanks Fortune. I fail to understand why you fail to understand (hahaha) that capital favours its own. Pravin is their man. Everything will be done to protect him.
