Cape Town: There will be no attempt to keep secret a report into the illegal landing of a jet chartered by the politically-connected Gupta family at Waterkloof Air Force Base, acting Minister in the Presidency Edna Molewa said on Thursday.
Molewa and her Cabinet colleagues endorsed the preliminary findings of an investigation into how the family managed to land the plane at the national key point without executive authority.
She was briefing journalists following Cabinet's regular fortnightly meeting on Wednesday.
It was now up to the justice, crime prevention, and security (JCPS) cluster of ministries to release the findings to the public, she said.
JCPS chairman Justice Minister Jeff Radebe is in the country, but his colleagues in the cluster are in Russia on a working visit with President Jacob Zuma.
“He has to work with his colleagues to make the necessary pronouncements regarding these findings,” said Molewa.
“Even the preliminary findings would have to be subjected to that collective, so that there is a full appreciation and a decision to release these findings,” she said.
Radebe and the other ministers would decide in which form the outcomes of the probe would be made public.
