Duduzane Zuma to be charged by #NPA  06:01 18/02/2018  Erika Gibson, Elaine Swanepoel And Abram Mashego The central players in the state capture project – the Gupta brothers and #DuduzaneZuma – are out of the country. Travel records obtained by City Press’ sister newspaper, Rapport, show Duduzane left the country on January 18 on an Emirates flight to Dubai, where he owns a R17 million flat the Guptas bought for him, according to the #GuptaLeaks.

In a letter Abrahams sent to Zuma on February 2, he asks him to supply reasons he should not be prosecuted and to send them to him by the end of March.
