The DA has called on International Relations and Cooperation Minister Ronald Lamola to launch an urgent departmental inquiry after South Africa's High Commissioner to India, Anil Sooklal, hosted former President Jacob Zuma and fugitive businessman Ajay Gupta. DA spokesperson on International Relations and Cooperation Ryan Smith says Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni publicly reprimanded Sooklal, yet a parliamentary portfolio committee meeting revealed he may have acted on written instructions from the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (Dirco), a contradiction Smith calls a sign of institutional capture. The DA has submitted written parliamentary questions and wants disciplinary action against whoever authorised the meeting, including Lamola if implicated.
DA challenges Ramaphosa's Zimbabwe visit and fraternisation with alleged money launderersSmith has also questioned whether state funds paid for President Cyril Ramaphosa's May visit to Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa's private residence, where the delegation included businessman Wicknell Chivhayo, under Financial Intelligence Centre investigation over alleged money laundering exceeding R800-million. Smith condemned the visit, made as ZANU-PF pursues a constitutional amendment enabling extended presidential terms, and accused the ANC of propping up African dictatorships.
