This was according to the state capture commission of inquiry report, which was handed to President Cyril Ramaphosa yesterday by Acting Chief Justice Raymond Zondo. In the second volume of the first part of the report, the commission has noted that evidence before it painted a picture of a calculated strategy by the Guptas to appropriate public funds from state-owned enterprises to their The New Age newspaper. The report recommends criminal prosecution against former Transnet CEO Brian Molefe, former SAA CEO Collin Matjila, and Tony Gupta for fraud and violation of the PMFA, among other charges.
