Duduzane had according to Zondo acted as a “conduit” between the Gupta brothers and government. According to the report, Duduzane was present when bribes were paid at the Gupta’s Saxonwold property.
In an excerpt taken from the final part of the State Capture Report, Raymond Zondo declares that Duduzane Zuma offered the Guptas a link particularly to his father.
“Duduzane Zuma was a conduit between the Guptas and government, particularly his father. He took part in awarding contracts of SOEs to Gupta-linked companies. In several cases [he] was present when bribes were offered to individuals at the Guptas’ Saxonwold residence.”
He must be investigated for any offence by facilitating acts of corruption or by facilitating bribes or by failing to report corruption that may have been committed in his presence by Mr Tony Gupta when he offered a bribe to Mr Mcebisi Jonas, Mr Mxolisi Dukwana and Mr Vusi Kona.”
