10 September 2018
Gupta-owned media houses received about R260m from the national and provincial governments, with the Free State government forking out the most at nearly R80m.
This was the evidence which National Treasury's Jan Gilliland presented on Monday at the state capture commission of inquiry, chaired by Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo.
The Free State was followed by KwaZulu-Natal, which paid R25m, and the North West paid R23.8m to The New Age (TNA) newspaper and Infinity Media (ANN7).
Gilliland showed that from the R260m paid by the national and provincial governments, Infinity received R12m and TNA received R248m.
