SANDF members to know their fate later this month in "Guptagate"


SA National Defence Force officials implicated in the so-called Guptagate scandal will know their fate by October 29.

That's according to the SA National Defence Union.

Spokesperson, Pikkie Greeff, says a magistrate has to decide by then if there's a case to be heard and if so, what the charges would be.

Four members of the SANDF appeared before a military for contravening different sections of the military defence code.

These relate to the landing of a private aircraft at the Waterkloof Air Force Base which was chartered by the wealth Gupta family.

During proceedings it was noted that president Jacob Zuma had been aware of the arrangement for the Gupta plane to land at the air-force base.

The presidency has since dismissed this claim.
