Ajay Gupta's naturalisation fraudulent─── 12:07 Mon, 18 Mar 2019
Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Home Affairs has found that the naturalisation application of Ajay Gupta's family was fraudulent.
The parliamentary inquiry has completed its report into the Gupta naturalisation.
It recommends criminal charges against the Guptas and intermediary Ashu Chwala for falsifying naturalisation citizenship.
The committee also recommends that Chwala's South African citizenship be revoked.
The parliamentary inquiry also found that the Guptas did not comply with the requirements to renounce Indian citizenship.
The committee will ask the National Assembly to refer the report to the Zondo commission for further investigation.
Former Home Affairs Minister, Malusi Gigaba came under fire in 2017 when it emerged he personally intervened to help the Guptas with their naturalisation certificates in 2015.
