Three former Free State Agriculture department heads - one of whom is still a government official - as well as a businessman linked to the Gupta brothers are appearing in the Bloemfontein Magistrate's Court on Thursday.
According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), the arrests were made in the Free State, Gauteng and Mpumalanga on Wednesday morning. Spokesperson for the NPA's investigating directorate, Sindisiwe Seboka, says the multi-million rand case relates to the controversial Estina company and charges include fraud, corruption and money laundering.
Details are very sketchy presently, however, a fifth arrest in the case is imminent.
