Lamola along with Minister of Public Service and Administration, Senzo Mchunu will lead the delegation in talks with the UAE government in an attempt to have the Gupta family repatriated, according to a Sunday Times report.

The ministers will reportedly be joined by Batohi, the head of the NPA’s investigative directorate, Hermione Cronje, head of the Special Investigating Unit, Andy Mothibi and Robert McBride – who is the Head of ethics at the Department of Public Administration.

Hain on UAE, and specifically Dubai. An extradition treaty has taken 8 years to finalize and the Guptas have been blowing their ill gotten gains in teh mean time. #statecaptureinquiry
