- Start date
President Jacob Zuma has been implicated in Guptagate, according to a sworn affidavit by a senior airforce official published in Beeld newspaper on Thursday.
"On or about 17 April 2013, Mr [Bruce] Koloane phoned me and he informed me that he had returned from the president and that the president wanted to know 'if everything is still on track for the flight'," read an excerpt of the affidavit by Lieutenant Colonel Christine Anderson.

Firstly, why tf has he not spoken out - he is the CIC of the SANDF who had their military airport invaded !
Secondly, it's going to be fun watching Maharaj dance him way around this one, but if the report is true he has a very small dance-floor.

Race card imminent...
I don't trust Maharaj, I don't trust Zuma, I don't trust the Guptas, I don't trust the Shaiks, their facade of lies and deception is reaching newer and higher levels.
I was watching part of the proceedings yesterday in regards to the Arms Deal and the evidence that was being lead implicating Shaik was overwhelming, yet he is on parole.
Check who ordered the Gupta plane landing at Waterkloof, check who ordered the parole of Shaik and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Without knowing Colonel Anderson, I believe her testimony.
In the interim I see she has been demoted, probably lost salary and for all we know is suddenly on the short list of people that are suddenly eligible for early retirement. I bet her whole career is in tatters because of Zuma.
Brag, lieg en steel.

No paper trail linking Zuma to Guptagate: Report
The head of state protocol did not want a paper trail linking President Jacob Zuma to the landing of a private aircraft at Waterkloof Air Force Base, Beeld reported on Thursday.
This was according to an affidavit by Warrant Officer Thabo Ntshisi, one of five SA National Defence Force members facing a military court on charges relating to the landing of the Gupta plane.
Ntshisi said he was referred to Bruce Koalane, the head of state protocol who has since been demoted, to get a "note verbale" to authorise the landing.
But Koalane told Ntshisi that it was not easy to issue the diplomatic communication because he was not allowed to put it on paper that President Jacob Zuma had authorised the flight.
"He [Koalane] said Lt.Col Christine Anderson will confirm it. She said that Number One knew of the flight and that I should allow the flight."

Guptagate Zuma Link is 'Hearsay' : Presidency
The presidency on Thursday dismissed allegations that President Jacob Zuma could be implicated in the 'Guptagate' scandal as hearsay.
"While it would not be appropriate to discuss matters that are being addressed at the tribunal, we wish to state categorically that there is no truth to the allegation," spokesman Mac Maharaj said.
Beeld newspaper reported on Thursday that SA National Defence Force members facing a military court on charges relating to the landing of the Gupta plane had implicated Zuma in sworn affidavits.
Maharaj said of the allegation: "It is not based on fact, it is based on hearsay".
"This is an old allegation being recycled before a military tribunal that is currently in session."
A chartered commercial aircraft, Jet Airways flight JAI 9900 from India, ferrying more than 200 guests for the wedding of Vega Gupta, 23, and Indian-born Aakash Jahajgarhia, landed at the Waterkloof Air Force Base in April.
The passengers were then transported, either by light aircraft, helicopter or in police-escorted vehicles, to attend the lavish ceremony at Sun City's Palace of the Lost City in North West.
The landing sparked widespread criticism and several investigations were launched.
A government investigation exonerated Zuma and his ministers, and found that the landing was the result of "collusion by officials".
