Former editor of the ANN 7 TV News Channel,
has told the State Capture Commission in Parktown, Johannesburg, that the Guptas wanted then President Jacob Zuma to make sure his ministers attend televised “New Age” Breakfasts amid national outrage around the Waterkloof saga.After the Waterkloof incident, Sundaram says there was reluctance from some ministers to attend ‘The New Age’ Breakfasts.
The Breakfasts are alleged to have cost the SABC millions of rands to host but the Guptas apparently made a handsome profit.Sundaram also says although Duduzane Zuma was the director, it was former President Jacob Zuma who was more actively involved in the meetings on the status of the TV project. The TV Channel owned by the Gupta family was established in 2013 and MultiChoice terminated its broadcast contract in 2017.
Sundaram told the State Capture Commission that confidential information was shared with former President Zuma and that he later found out that Zuma had “a much bigger” interest.
Somebody still has to explain whatever happened to advertising revenue from the breakfast shows. It can't just be water under the bridge. It can't also be Zuma this, Zuma that. Some people also need to start owning up their part.
Does this prove state is captured?
That old man must come and answer at the commission.
And Zuma told them in a meeting that as ANN7 they are more better than SABC..... I wonder if Zuma will want to come to defend himself or not
