This article is about the controversy surrounding the citizenship of the Gupta brothers. It has recently surfaced that Atul Gupta is in fact registered to vote and did so at the Saxonwold Primary School.
This comes after Malusi Gigaba denied that the Gupta brothers had South African citizenships and were indeed citizens of South Africa. This also came as a shock to many people including Lindiwe Sisulu, who was shocked that they were not citizens. The news came on Wednesday when IEC deputy chairperson Terry Tselane had a news briefing from he explained that they were given an ID number to check the registration details and in their systems and it indeed came out confirming that Atul Gupta was registered to vote at the Saxonwold Primary school.

He said the commission's information was aligned with that of the Department of Home Affairs.
Questions
But soon after his statements, copies of identification documents that belong to the brothers surfaced on social media showing that Atul Gupta was not just registered at the primary school, but that he had previously voted.
The EFF even accused Gigaba of lying to Parliament. The party said it will ask Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane to investigate the status of the Gupta brothers' citizenship.

ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more.

ReplyDeleteThis is the serious problem and must be taken into account because Guptas are not belonging to our country they must leave our country and this means the are lot of people who do not belong to this nation but have ID documents
ReplyDeleteAnd it just shows how easily one can acquire citizenship without following the correct procedures
DeleteGigaba must stop with the lies, There's evidence that they are indeed South African citizen. Gigaba must just come clean and explain to the public of South Africa how come they were issued with these documents.
ReplyDeleteHe is very corrupt man. He should be held accountable for what he has done.
DeleteI think South African government is just devoting all it's power in hiding the real truth about the Gupta, the State is obviously stalling, I mean how come other crimes are resolved faster than we can breathe. There's more to Guptas than we know and told.
ReplyDeleteAnd there way I see it the truth is far more corrupt and dangerous than we can ever understand
DeleteMalusi has to come clean and deal with this dark cloud hovering over his head,on whether one of the Gupta's has a SA passport,once and for all.
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
Deletewow just the title throws me off. this country seizes to amaze me
