Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba must appear before the Portfolio
Committee on Home Affairs next week for an inquiry into the
naturalisation of members of the Gupta family.
The committee set aside three days next week â€` Wednesday to Friday â€`
to hold the investigation into the process followed in the
naturalisation of the Guptas.
The committee has concluded the initial phase of the inquiry, the
collection of all relevant information and has identified gaps which
need to be clarified by certain people to help the committee make a
decision, according to a statement from committee chairperson Hlomani
Chauke on Tuesday.
The committee has resolved to call the following people to give
evidence â€` the MEC for the North West department of education and
sports development, the head of department of the North West
department of education and sports development, former home affairs
director general Mkuseli Apleni, former home affairs employee GC
Christians and Gigaba.
Any additions to the list will be determined by what information is
received from the initial hearings.
The committee considers it crucial for the identified individuals to
attend the hearings and will request the Speaker to summon those that
are not prepared to appear.
`This matter has been in the public domain without resolution for too
long. The committee is thus intending to bring this matter to
finality,` said Chauke.
