The Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein has queried whether or not questions posed to former Finance Minister Des van Rooyen in Parliament were ambiguous.

Democratic Alliance leader, John Steenhuisen argued that van Rooyen deliberately misled parliament when he said that he did not meet the Guptas.

Van Rooyen successfully challenged Mkhwebane’s report which found that he lied to Parliament about meeting the Gupta family. The former minister had argued that he never disputed that he met the Gupta family outside his capacity as a minister. But his response to the public protector’s investigation was that he met the Guptas in his capacity as Treasurer General of the MKMVA.

Van Rooyen has argued that there is no evidence that he misled parliament. And that the Public Protector never provided reasons for how she reached that conclusion.
