He said that the brothers indicated a desire to see him again but not in his office. They then sent representatives to request another meeting. Nyanda’s meeting with the Guptas fell through because he was fired by Zuma during one of the former president’s cabinet reshuffles in 2010. “He told me the officials had redeployed me to Germany, but I couldn’t go and I elected to go to the back benches of parliament. I tried to see the officials, one knew nothing about this. When I asked for reasons for my removal, president Zuma mumbled something about the SABC.”
