Die DA sê dit is 'n skande dat die parlementêre leier van die MK Party, John Hlophe, probeer het om die parlement te gebruik om leemtes in die Guptas se uitleweringsproses te vind en bloot te lê. Die regering het vroeër vanjaar die versekering gegee dat hy sy pogings voortsit om die broers Atul en Rajesh Gupta van die Verenigde Arabiese Emirate te laat uitlewer. Glynnis Breytenbach van die DA sê dit is hoog tyd dat die Guptas met die volle mag van die Suid-Afrikaanse strafregstelsel te doen kry:

When Rajesh Gupta tells us that he likes change and fixing things that are broken, we can't help but wonder how a finance career that has encompassed more than 20 years with General Electric has come to satisfy that appetite. Certainly, we reason, this number of years with a single company is more likely to accent the resume of a change-averse executive than that of someone who actively pursues it. However, as we quickly learn, Gupta's GE years were spent across three continents, and 15 of them involved ever-acquisitive GE Capital. “Because GE Capital grew from a lot of different acquisitions, each of its new companies would in effect have its own culture—and rather than try to force their own culture on it, GE would instead introduce its leadership training and financial management approaches,” explains Gupta, whose career with GE began in India after he was first hired by a GE joint venture that was shortly thereafter acquired by GE Capital. “I was asked to join a leadership training program, which basically opened the door to opportunities through which I could take on different roles inside GE,” reports Gupta, whose vocational track quickly found traction inside GE's M&A and commercial business partnering activities. From restructuring acquisitions to dealing with credit card operations, Gupta tells us, his appetite for change found a wealth of avenues to pursue. “I was heading down a path that I felt would someday allow me to become a general manager of a GE business unit—but then 2008 happened,” comments Gupta, who notes that the economic downturn of the late 2000s became something of a wakeup call. “When I looked at my CV, I saw that I had had a career that was difficult to explain to people and that I needed to make a choice rather than continue to straddle the general manager and finance worlds, so I decided to go down the finance track,” recalls Gupta, who in short order was named CFO of a bank owned by GE Capital in the Czech Republic. “I took hold of the position with both hands,” remembers Gupta, who years later doesn't attempt to conceal the grave uncertainties of the time. Nonetheless, from that day forward—whether inside or outside of GE—Gupta has always had the CFO title preceding his name. Adds Gupta: “What became clear to me was that the outside world typically thinks about future roles based on the last role that you occupied.” –Jack Sweeney
NPA head Shamila Batohi says the extradition process for Atul and Rajesh Gupta from the United Arab Emirates could take several months.
Justice Minister Ronald Lamola says they've officially filed extradition requests for Atul and Rajesh Gupta with the UAE.
Two of the masterminds of State Capture – Atul and Rajesh Gupta – are now one step closer to facing justice in South African courts. We unpack their unexpected, and much-celebrated, June arrest and look at the long legal road ahead.

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) announced on Wednesday that it is acting in full compliance with domestic and international legal obligations in the extradition of Atul and Rajesh Gupta to South Africa. The Gupta brothers fled the country as the news surfaced during the State Capture Commission, led by Justice Raymond Zondo, that they allegedly looted State funds under the Jacob Zuma administration, dubbed the “nine wasted years”. The brothers were arrested as a result of an Interpol Red Notice issued at the request of the South African government earlier this year. The NPA explained that it is on track to finalise the process of extradition in close consultation with relevant authorities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Interpol. “The diplomatic and political aspects are being dealt with in parallel by our colleagues in the Ministry, Department of Justice and Department of International Relations and Cooperation,” the NPA said. It has also submitted requests for provisional arrest warrants for the Gupta brothers, which the NPA said was a formality that needed to be complied with. In terms of the extradition treaty between South Africa and the UAE, South Africa has 60 days from the date of arrest to submit the formal extradition application. The NPA leadership expressed confidence in its team of experienced and highly skilled prosecutors working on the legal aspects of the Gupta extradition process. “We have previously explained why we will not be commenting on the legal dimensions of the case at this early stage, and this remains our position for important legal and case-specific reasons. However, we note with concern the widespread misinformation and speculation about how the NPA and its leadership are handling this complex legal process. While we recognise the public interest in this matter, we must focus on delivering on our constitutional mandate and responsibilities without distraction, and without fear or favour,” it said.
Guest: Prof Thuli Madonsela Thuli Madonsela writes that the alleged theft at President Cyril Ramaphosa's farm is important, but the narrative appears to be clouding attention from state capture accountability in light of the arrest of Atul and Rajesh Gupta in Dubai.

Justice and Correctional Services Minister Ronald Lamola says while he cannot discuss the nature of the charges against Atul and Rajesh Gupta, he believes the process to capture the controversial brothers has been transparent.
Minister of Justice Ronald Lamola has denied that South African authorities are at the mercy of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government in relation to the extradition of Atul and Rajesh Gupta to South Africa to face charges related to the looting of State funds. Lamola said it should be noted that extradition can be a protracted legal process that is also a policy-centric and politically diplomatic process across the globe. The Gupta brothers fled the country as the news surfaced during the State Capture Commission, led by Justice Raymond Zondo, that they allegedly looted State funds under the Jacob Zuma administration, dubbed the “nine wasted years”. Speaking to a local media broadcaster, Lamola gave assurance that the brothers would definitely come back to South Africa, although it could take time. He said the National Prosecution Authority (NPA) was preparing the extradition papers that his department will be sending to UAE counterparts, through diplomatic channels, within 60 days, as per the extradition treaty. He said court processes on whether the pair were extraditable or not were also due to take place. It has been reported that the brothers were placed on Interpol's red notice list last year for the R25-million Nulane investments matter. “Our role is to convey a diplomatic engagement between ourselves and the central authority in the UAE. The NPA is dealing with the charges, evidence and other processes. Our obligation will be to ensure that the papers are in line with the extradition treaty as we take them to the UAE,” explained Lamola. He said the extradition treaty allowed for the NPA to provide charges that they believed comprised extraditable conduct and that they believed they can prove in court beyond any reasonable doubt. Lamola said the bail application would be discussed by the NPA and their counterparts in the UAE. “We want to ensure that the process is not contaminated by unnecessary ulterior motives. It must be informed by the law, the NPA Act and the Extradition Act of our country and the extradition treaty between the UAE and South Africa. It is important that we are compliant with the treaty,” stressed Lamola.
Fugitives from justice in South Africa, Atul and Rajesh Gupta, are in custody following their recent arrest in Dubai after Interpol issued a Red Notice. Veteran journalist Rajesh Sundaram has extensive real-life experience with the infamous Gupta family. He was flown to South Africa to launch the Gupta's television station - ANN7 - in 2013. After months of being worked to the bone in the creation of what he told the State Capture Inquiry was essentially a "mafia and propaganda station", his health tanked and he wanted out. Threatened by the Gupta's armed bodyguards, he eventually fled South Africa in late 2013. BizNews editor Michael Appel caught up with Sundaram to ask about the emotions the Guptas' arrests evoked in him, and for greater insight into how the controversial billionaire family is regarded in their home country of India.
Minister in the Presidency Mondli Gungubele said on Thursday there is no guarantee that Atul and Rajesh Gupta will be brought to South Africa following their arrest in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Gungubele briefed the media on the outcomes of Wednesday's Cabinet meeting. “I wouldn't say there is a guarantee because that is not a simple process by the way,” he said. Gungubele explained while negotiations between the UAE and South Africa were under way, until they were concluded, the South African government did not know whether the Gupta brothers would be extradited to face charges. The brothers fled South Africa to Dubai following Jacob Zuma's recall as President in 2018. The government has said at least R500-billion was stolen during Zuma's nine-year presidency. The kingpins behind State capture during Zuma's Presidency were arrested as a result of an Interpol Red Notice issued at the request of the South African government earlier this year. “I will be surprised, taking into account the principles and the code of the Interpol Red Notice, because Interpol is to make sure that countries work together in dealing with crime, I will be surprised if it does not lead to [the Gupta brother's] coming to South Africa. I will also be surprised if they are not arrested on the basis of exactly what they did in South Africa,” said Gungubele. RAMAPHOSA'S FARM THEFT Gungubele said Cabinet had given the go-ahead to law enforcement agencies to investigate the theft of an alleged $4-million from President Cyril Ramaphosa's Limpopo farm. Former spy boss Arthur Fraser has laid criminal charges against Ramaphosa for allegedly contravening the Prevention of Organised Crime Act for failing to report the theft in 2020. Fraser alleged that $4-million was stolen and that the thieves were kidnapped, interrogated and paid to stay silent about the ordeal. Gungubele said Cabinet would deal with the matter when there was clarity on the outcomes. “We were briefed because already the matter of the robbery in the President's precinct is under the law enforcement agencies, they are actually investigating the matter. Financial institutions are investigating the matter and the approach is that let's leave it to all those institutions until we are clarified what the outcome is going be, then we can actually cross that bridge when we reach it,” said Gungubele. Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema has called on Ramaphosa to take a leave of absence and step aside as per the rules of the African National Congress, to allow for investigations into the matter. Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane has started a probe into whether Ramaphosa violated the Executive Members Ethics Act after a complaint was laid against him by African Transformation Movement leader Vuyolwethu Zungula for allegedly breaching the code by not reporting the robbery.
Now two days since the South African government confirmed that law enforcement authorities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have arrested Rajesh Gupta and Atul Gupta and SA's political parties, while welcoming the arrests, point to the suspicious timing of the news.

So is enrollment, which hit nearly 39,000 last fall. "Pradeep Khosla is the best chancellor UC San Diego has ever had," said Rajesh Gupta, one of the school's computer scientists. "The. Best." Many agree. But midway through his seventh year in office, questions are being raised about Khosla's management style. Nine current and former employees told the Union-Tribune that a University of California Office of the President (UCOP) investigator asked them in recent months whether Khosla or senior staff had exhibited bullying behavior toward campus employees. Seven of those told the investigator that Khosla can be insulting, demeaning, rude or threatening. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/education/sd-me-khosla-bullying-20190107-story.html

Got any questions? Ask me on Facebook: www.facebook.com/aleksander.vitkin Check out my free business training: www.vitkin.net Want to connect on Instagram? @AleksVitkin In this podcast, I’m interviewing Rajesh Gupta, who owns a software development company in India. I used to work with him for about six months. His company has grown to five million dollars, and we are going to talk about how he built his company from scratch, over the past fifteen years. He used to have a job at a corporation, and then he quit that. He worked at a telecom giant for almost five years, and after that his manager was looking to start a company, to do something which no one had done in Rajesh’s family. So he started a company, called NetUse in 2000, which they started from his bedroom. Now he has three hundred people working for him. The journey has been good, and it’s had its up and downs like anything. The first customer, he still remembers came to him through an email marketing campaign at the time. In 2000, hosting a domain company was very big stuff. There were a lot less companies back then providing domain hosting. He knew about the web hosting companies, and how to operate the technologies in relation to that. They started contacting a few web hosting companies, but the companies didn’t know how to actually host the domain. So he contacted them, and did a few projects, and the rest is history. They built a good reputation with their first client, through word of mouth, and it’s still their biggest advantage, because of the good service they provide. He always believes they should stick to the customer, whether they are in a good, or bad patch.
Confusion over the Guptas' citizenship has deepened after a discrepancy emerged between official South Africa and Indian versions.

The statement comes after Pretoria's Home Affairs Department said that Atul and Rajesh Gupta were South African citizens, but not the third Gupta brother, Ajay.
