NATIONAL NEWS - Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba has been briefing the media about the naturalisation of five members of the Gupta family.
He says it’s important to note that they applied as a family and if one did not meet criteria, all are rejected.
Gigaba says the application was rejected in 2014, but it was appealed. And the family provided supporting documents, including the number of people it employed.
The minister says the appeal to him, during his first stint as Home Affairs Minister, was forwarded to the department which established a panel to review.
The refusal was then overturned.
