CAPE TOWN - The state capture commission of inquiry said it was clear that when Des van Rooyen was appointed Finance Minister in 2015, he had the approval of the Gupta family.

Van Rooyen’s short stint – which cost South Africa millions of rands - was appointed by then President Jacob Zuma to replace Nhlanhla Nene.

Brown fired all but one member of the board with close ties to the Guptas. The project needed authorisation from Brown’s department and Treasury. Dubbed weekend special, Van Rooyen’s arrival at National Treasury was not a coincidence; this is part of the findings detailed in the chapter on arms company Denel.And that his appointment was well planned as a letter seeking authorisation for the Denel Asia deal landed on his desk a day after his appointment.
