THE Black Business Chamber said it has welcomed the decision by the Sekunjalo Group and its chairperson Dr Iqbal Survé to take the Mpati Report on Judicial Review.

This comes after the group and related entities approached the Western Cape High Court to formally take the Mpati report under review and have it set aside, the group chairman said this week.

In an interview with Safm, Survé said that Sekunjalo’s detractors had used the report against the group and its subsidiaries even though the commission had never proved any misconduct by Sekunjalo.

The chamber said that it has always been the view of the Black Business Chamber that Sekunjalo and Survé were being targeted by the system and the powers that be for their refusal to toe the line, with a view to unfairly bulldozing them out from participation in economic activities.

THE unrest in Kwazulu-natal and Gauteng in July last year was an orchestrated and well-planned action to shield those who were responsible for state capture. This view is expressed in the ANC national executive committee document on corruption and state capture.

The ANC wants its branches to discuss the document and find measures to fight against state capture in the future.

ANC task team head on state capture Jeff Radebe agreed with the Zondo Commission’s findings that some of the senior party leaders had colluded with the Guptas to weaken the state and the organisation.
