A special South African police unit known as the Hawks said it’s deciding whether to investigate corruption charges against members the Gupta family, who’re friends of President Jacob Zuma and are in business with his son, following a formal request by the opposition Democratic Alliance party.
The unit received the party’s complaint on Tuesday, Hawks spokesman Major Robert Netshiunda said by phone on Wednesday, declining to give further details. The DA brought charges of corruption against three Gupta brothers and Zuma’s son Duduzane, the party’s leader Mmusi Maimane said.
