New Age2.png Maseko confirms probe submission Vincent Cruywagen, The New Age, Johannesburg, 2 June 2016 Former GCIS CEO Themba Maseko yesterday confirmed that he submitted a written submission to the ANC's probe on state capture. Responding to a query on Twitter, Maseko said: "I did make my submission." Maseko's confirmation now raises fundamental questions on why Deputy Finance Minister Mcebisi Jonas did not make a formal submission to Mantashe's office. Themba Maseko.jpg Jonas sparked a national outcry after he claimed that he was offered the finance minister's post by the Gupta family. Following Jonas' allegations, Maseko told a weekend newspaper this year he was threatened by the Guptas to assist them to procure government advertising for this newspaper. On Tuesday ANC secretary-general Gwede Mantashe said after the media briefing national executive committee (NEC) that eight people approached his office but only one from this group made a written submission. He said that as a result of a lack of written evidence, the party had to close the probe. "The ANC created the avenue to probe the allegations against the Gupta family and state capture. Only eight came forward with only one person submitting a written submission. "The allegations (against the Gupta family) were quite serious. They cannot be treated lightly. "The low number of submissions made the exercise fruitless," Mantashe said. According to Mantashe the NEC has now urged people who want to pursue the allegations to approach state institutions like the Saps, the public protector or other chapter nine institutions with their complaints. He said: "People who thought it is too risky to come to the ANC, they must go to the Saps or Chapter Nine institutions. "When they don't come forward to the ANC, the ANC will not force them. It doesn't mean that we are walking away from it, but if you make allegations then you must be bold enough to take (the matter) through. The discussion of the ANC on state capture is going to continue for a long time. "If people had raised the matter in order to benefit the ANC, they would not mind becoming casualties. Those who feared for their safety were only doing it for their own interests. We cannot push people with clay feet. We will continue monitoring the situation." - 701198 From: <http://tnaepaper.co.za/DRIVE/main%20edition/02062016/epaperpdf/4.pdf> http://tnaepaper.co.za/DRIVE/main%20edition/02062016/epaperpdf/4.pdf -- -- You are subscribed.
