Some political parties have expressed their dissatisfaction after South Africa’s request to extradite Gupta brothers, Rajesh and Atul, rejected by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) 🕵️♂️
“This is a disgrace and confirms his utter lack of control of this portfolio and gross dereliction of duty,” DA MP Glynnis Breytenbach said in statement.
She also cast doubt on whether there was serious intention to successfully extradite the Gupta brothers. She added that confirmed that the DA will write to Parliament, requesting an urgent meeting with the Lamola’s department and the National Prosecuting Authority “to account for this unacceptable state of affairs”.Although the failure of the extradition was request was disappointing, ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba welcomed that the justice ministry will appeal the decision by UAE courts.
“It’s concerning that our diplomats in the UAE failed to keep the government updated on the court proceedings. Both Justice Minister, Ronald Lamola, and International Relations Minister, Naledi Pandor, need to answer difficult questions about this,” he said.The ActionSA leader further blamed the conflicting international relations policies of South Africa and the ANC for the UAE’s failure to take the matter seriously.
