The Judicial Commission of Inquiry into Allegations of State Capture is due to hear the testimony of two Travel Excellence travel agents.

They have testified that their company was used regularly to book overseas trips for the Gupta family and many state employees linked to the infamous family.

Other parties implicated in state capture, including former mineral resources minister Mosebenzi Zwane, Transnet executive Siyabonga Gama and former president Jacob Zuma’s son Duduzane, have also been named as receiving fully paid overseas trips from the Gupta family via Travel Excellence. The commission is also scheduled to hold an evening session to hear parliamentary-oversight-related testimony from the former Speaker of Parliament, Baleka Mbete on Tuesday at 4pm.

In 2019, she shocked viewers and embarrassed many South Africans with her reactions during an interview with Al Jazeera's Mehdi Hasan. She had been invited to speak about whether the ruling ANC had betrayed Nelson Mandela's legacy since the advent of democracy in 1994.
