‘Come clean’: Sipho Pityana fires back at Black Business Council’s Sandile Zungu. Accuses Zungu of downplaying his links to the Zuma and Gupta families, by NickiGules

But in his letter yesterday, a copy of which City Press obtained, Pityana does not let up.

He also charges that Zungu was a “useful comprador for the barons of state capture” and accuses him of “selling out the very crooks you were once proud to have as business partners”. Pityana lists some of the statements Zungu allegedly made in response to his open letter by quoting media reports in which Zungu himself appears to confirm them.

“And then there’s your relationship with former president Zuma, which you attempt to downplay now that the disgraced former president is persona non grata,” Pityana writes, before quoting an interview in which Zungu is quoted saying of Zuma: “Where you are quick to point out that you rejected a donation to the BBC from the Guptas, you do not tell us who in your leadership was a recipient of their largesse and partnered them in business. Why does it upset you so much that I demand that these be exposed?” Pityana asks.
