Shaik said the Gupta brothers also needed to be investigated because of their possible dealings with Iran.
"The US ambassador in Pretoria approached me and said they were concerned about the possible funding of Shiva Uranium . They had reason to believe such financing was coming from Iran. Shaik said he, along with other SSA directors Gibson Njenje and Jeff Maqetuka, decided to launch an investigation into the Gupta family, their political links and their business interests."This was the first time that happened to me during the period which I was head of the foreign branch of the SSA. I was never called to explain an operation. It was the first operation that Cwele deemed necessary for us to come and explain," Shaik said.
