State capture inquiry begins

Sundaram relates how one of the Gupta brothers became irate because they had to wait for Zuma who was in another meeting, and they threatened to leave, but were then told Zuma would be available in a few minutes.

The real presidents were upset that their puppet kept them waiting.

He actually wrote a whole book on ANN7, none of which has been refuted.

Some dark humour:
Sundaram says he had raised an issue about not yet having presenters, and the only option would then have been to hire journalists at a higher salary, but the Guptas and co were "very suspicious of the journalists. They thought that they would not toe the line that they wanted to".

Sundaram: "So that's when Atul Gupta got up and suggested 'Let's hire models'..."

Sundaram says Gupta than said there's a modelling agency "that is something that we've used in the past, ask them to send a dozen models and we will train them to be presenters".

Sundaram says he had raised objections at the time about their experience and the quality of the news they would deliver - he did not want ANN7 to become a laughing stock.

Sundaram says his objections were overruled, like many others.

I am guessing there will be huge gaps in what would normally be a relatively easy to follow audit trail...

Eish, our systems were down on that day so we processed the application manually with invisible ink.

One of the Gupta brothers told former a consulting editor of the now defunct ANN7, Rajesh Sundaram, that he had the government in his pocket and was not be bothered by any legalities.

In his second day on the witness stand on Tuesday, Sundaram told the state-capture commission of inquiry how the Gupta family illegally shipped in labourers from India to SA to work on their 24-hour news channel.
He noted that a large number of the labourers came from India on tourist visas and worked in setting up ANN7, which he dismissed as a “mafia and propaganda station”.

Sundaram said the employees were all paid in cash in India before coming to SA. “This is something I know is a pure violation of tax laws in India.”

This circus still continuing? The country is bleeding and nothing happens.

Zuma & Co. still living like Kings, whites still slaughtered on their farms.
