Johannesburg - Businessman Atul Gupta will face disciplinary charges for misconduct and for embarrassing the ANC following the Waterkloof air force base debacle. City Press reports that the leaders of his branch in Ward 117, Joburg, last night decided to press charges for the incident, which saw a plane full of Gupta wedding guests land at the base. Police VIP blue lights were used in cars ferrying the guests to the wedding venue in Sun City. Branch secretary Tebogo Khaas said Gupta will be formally notified of the charges as well as the date of the hearing as soon as a disciplinary committee is appointed. Government has launched its own investigation into the matter and a preliminary report was concluded on Tuesday. Gupta’s spokesperson, Gary Naidoo, said the businessman was unaware of any action against him.
