So far, a number of current and former public servants have appeared before the inquiry, but commercial banks have also made an appearance.

The inquiry is investigating allegations of corruption and state capture levelled against the Gupta family and former president Jacob Zuma.

It has been alleged that Gupta family members used their relationship with Zuma to score business deals with state-owned enterprises. Billions were allegedly paid out to the family in suspicious business deals involving government officials.
