David Skosana, a lawmaker for the MK Party, has sparked political controversy by openly accusing the Gupta family and the late Pravin Gordhan, South Africa’s minister of public enterprises, of causing the country’s present economic and governance problems. While addressing a joint session of parliament with Shamila Batohi, head of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), Skosana asserted that the focus in the national conversation is unjustly on the Guptas’ involvement in state capture, ignoring what he called Gordhan’s “destructive influence” on important state institutions.
