South African government today suspended four senior defence and police officials following a raging scandal, now tagged as Guptagate, over a private aircraft carrying about 200 guests from India landing on a military airport for a lavish wedding dubbed as 'the marriage of the century'.
Four high ranking defence officials have been put on "compulsory special leave" relating to the Gupta wedding jet saga, the country's Justice Minister Jeff Radebe said, a day after the Foreign Ministry's head of protocol Bruce Koloane became the first victim of the political and diplomatic fallout.
