The Democratic Alliance (DA) said it will on Monday lay criminal charges against Atul Gupta, Ajay Gupta, Rajesh Gupta, Ronica Ragavan and Kamal Vasram “following revelations” that public funds were used to pay for Vega Gupta and Aakash Jahajgarhia’s wedding at Sun City in 2013.

DA MP David Maynier said in a statement that he will lay criminal charges at the Cape Town Police Station in Buitenkant Street at 11:30.

“The fact that public funds, which were meant to assist the poor, were allegedly used by President Jacob Zuma’s most important clients, the Guptas, to pay for a family wedding is grotesque and must be investigated by the South African Police Service,” said Maynier.
