The EFF says in a statement it can confirm that a meeting took place between the Guptas and the deputy minister and the the Guptas offered him the job of Minister of Finance. “The Guptas are the ones who run affairs of the State under Jacob Zuma’s administration,” reads the statement.
The EFF says the Guptas run Zuma’s and “the sooner those who deployed him realise this the better”
The EFF said after the appointment of a “puppet Minister” of Mineral Resources, Mosebenzi Zwane that South Africa has been turned into “a Gupta Republic” and anyone who still has doubts about this “suffers from psychological decay”.
The Guptas are in charge of South Africa and they are in a business relationship with Jacob Zuma, through his son Duduzane Zuma. All corrupt presidents all over the world use their children to do business, and that is exactly what Jacob Zuma is doing through his son with the assistance of the Guptas.
“The EFF is also aware that in their looting, the Guptas have already started to move lots of money out of South Africa to tax havens. It is not rumours or innuendos; the Guptas have already started packing their bags and are in the process of moving their assets to Dubai. The Guptas have moved more than R2 billion of their ill-gotten gains.
“It is important however to ensure that the Guptas must abide by the rules and regulations of capital taxation and withdrawal from the country. According to the rules regarding transfer of capital, there is a levy of 10% on all monies moved out of South Africa according to the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) regulations. In case of the Guptas, this will amount to more than R200 million, as a 10% of the R2 billion the Guptas have already moved to Dubai,” reads the EFF statement.
They also imply that foreign currency exchange charges are not being adhered to.”By exploiting their close relationships to Zuma, the Guptas have managed to move R2 billion without paying a cent of levies. The 10% levies waived and it is not clear for what reason. The newly appointed Minister of Finance Pravin Gordhan was made aware of this irregularity amongst many other tax irregularities Mr. Jacob Zuma has allegedly benefited from, hence the covert war between the Mr. Jacob Zuma, South African Revenue Services (SARS) Commissioner Tom Moyane and the Minister of Finance.”
The party says they are warning the Guptas to respect the sovereignty and financial regulation of South Africa, and not treat our country like it’s a lawless nation. “We further warn all individuals in the Guptas paycheck, including Mr. Zuma’s soon Duduzile, the Minister of Mineral Resources Sbebenzi Zwane, Minister of Home Affairs, and everyone involved, who continues to conduct corrupt practices to protect the Guptas to say, it is imminent that their names will be exposed and submitted to the relevant authorities.”
