Pieter Mulder of the FF+ has also spoken. He is following the SACP’s lead and calling for a Judicial Enquiry into the relationship between President Jacob Zuma and the Gupta family.
COPE leader, Mosioua Lekota, has spoken. He says his party will approach the police to investigate the matter. The DA's Spokesperson on Finance, David Maynier, says he will open a case of corruption. In a notice of motion tabled in Parliament, DA leader Mmusi Maimane spoke, too. He called for the establishment of an ad hoc committee to investigate the "Guptas's capture of state resources". Bantu Holomisa of the UDM spoke as well. "Unfortunately, they have not captured the government of South Africa without the knowledge of President Zuma,” he said. The UDM wants the joint standing committee on intelligence to investigate the relationship and the impact on the security and economy of the country. The EFF spoke plenty. It "will continue to demand that the Guptas leave the country, but not before they face the full might of the law." Are they all agreeing with the SACP, or what? Is this hegemony in all sites of power, at last? Cde Benson, your further thoughts on the alignment of the SACP with so many other interesting parties? May I also take this opportunity to ask you, comrade: What is the difference between a Judicial Enquiry and a “fishing expedition”?
