The Guptagate saga continues and it's all happening this week – first a heated, if fruitless, parliamentary debate on the landing at Waterkloof Air Force Base and then the release of the ministerial report into the matter.

According to the report, the jet's landing at the air force base highlighted serious administration issues that needed immediate attention, including a so-called "culture of undue influence", poor ethical conduct and a lack of professionalism.

The latest revelations show that government provided 88 vehicles and 194 people to facilitate the Gupta wedding, that Gauteng police paid about R47 000 in overtime to fully staff the blue light brigade that escorted the guests to Sun City and that one member of the Jet Airways crew that landed at Waterkloof is still in South Africa.

Join us live on Friday at 10am to hear the latest on Guptagate and surprising revelations of the ministerial report.

Mail & Guardian reporters Phillip De Wet and Sarah Evans have been tracking the story and will answer your questions about the scandal.
