NATIONAL NEWS - The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) says it is not possible for anyone to vote in the country's elections without being a South African citizen.
Pictures of what’s believed to be Atul Gupta's South African identity book have emerged and when verified on the IEC's website, show that the ID number is registered to vote at Saxonworld Primary School which is close to the controversial family's compound.
This is contrary to what Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba told the public during a briefing on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, International Relations and Cooperation Minister Lindiwe Sisulu says that she is surprised to hear that the Gupta brothers do not have South African citizenship.
Speaking to the Karima Brown Show on Tuesday night, Sisulu says that the brothers could be extradited back to South Africa should they be criminally charged, if a request is made to the Indian government.
