Ayanda Dlodlo’s Dubai hotel stay booked by Sahara, paid by Fana Hlongwane
Communications Minister Ayanda Dlodlo’s stay at a luxury hotel in Dubai in 2015 was secured by Sahara Computers‚ a company owned by the Gupta family. This new revelation is contained in the leaked Gupta e-mails. The Sowetan reports that according to invoices‚ Dlodlo – who recently replaced Faith Muthambi in the ministry after a Cabinet reshuffle — stayed at The Oberoi Hotel. The documents show that even though Dlodlo’s stay was booked for by Sahara Computers‚ her bills were settled by controversial businessman Fana Hlongwane. In an e-mail with Dlodlo’s invoice to Ashu Chawla — The Oberoi’s sales executive — Sarah Ben Haouem writes: "Dear Shu. The charges for Ms Dlodlo were settled by Hlongwane Fana."
