Cwele put a stop to Gupta investigation as it would be ‘an investigation into the president’

[Jopie Fourie]

If you investigate the Guptas you are basically investigating the president “and that would not be proper”.

This is how former state security minister, Siyabonga Cwele, allegedly put a stop to the State Security Agency’s (SSA) attempts to investigate security threats posed by the now infamous Gupta family.

These allegations were made by former state security boss Gibson Njenje when he appeared before the Zondo commission of inquiry on Tuesday.

Njenje said Cwele did not expressly forbid the SSA from investigating the Guptas, adding that the message was only implied.

He detailed how, at a meeting with Cwele in 2011, the minister said: “In effect, should we investigate the Guptas, we would be investigating the president and it would not be proper to investigate the president”.

It is not proper to investigate thievery if the president is a thief?

Cwele was part of the mobsters so, I'm not surprised.
