LIVE: Mbalula confirms receiving a call from Ajay Gupta ahead of official Cabinet appointment, state capture hears
Fikile Mbalula has vowed to"amplify the truth" when he testifies before the state capture commission of inquiry.
"Everything that [former finance minister] Trevor Manuel said regarding head of elections about me is true, and it is now up to me to go to the state capture commission and amplify that truth and put it into context," Mbalula, who is the party's head of elections, said. Manuel testified at the commission on Thursday and told Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo that Mbalula had an emotional reaction during one of the party's national executive committee meetings over an interaction he had with one of the Gupta brothers. The Guptas are at the centre of state capture allegations.
