Indian High Commissioner summoned over Guptagate


Senior government officials will hold talks with the Indian High Commissioner on Friday about a 'diplomatic incident' involving the Gupta family, said International Relations Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane.
A government probe was underway into a possible breach of diplomatic protocol when a privately chartered plane carrying guests to a Gupta family wedding landed at the Waterkloof Air Force Base, she said.
The investigation was being carried out by a committee of directors general from various government departments, she told reporters in Pretoria and Cape Town during a briefing. They had seven days to complete the probe.
Government said on Friday the landing at the national key point was unauthorised.
Nkoana-Mashabane said a group of dignitaries, including Indian state ministers, was on board the plane.
