The portfolio committee on home affairs last week proposed that Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba appear before it to account for his decision to grant the Gupta family early citizenship.

Democratic Alliance MP Haniff Hoosen said Gigaba should also answer for the latest revelations about possible impropriety between the family and home affairs‚ which was Gigaba’s portfolio until March this year.

The Sunday Times reported two days ago that leaked documents had revealed that the Guptas had allegedly been spying on leading banking executives‚ their family members‚ a former cabinet minister and a business rival.
