LEAKED GUPTA E-MAILS:
EXCLUSIVE: Lynne Brown’s aide in alleged visit to Guptas in Dubai
Brown’s personal assistant Kim Davids cannot explain why a detailed invoice bearing her name was sent to the Guptas
Public Enterprises Minister Lynne Brown’s personal assistant is at the centre of a mysterious R32,000 Dubai hotel bill and a chauffeured drive to the Gupta family’s luxury home in the United Arab Emirates.
Details of the trip have been discovered in the leaked Gupta e-mails. Brown’s personal assistant Kim Davids confirmed on Tuesday she had travelled to Dubai in December 2015, but said she had paid her own way. She could not explain why a detailed invoice bearing her name had been sent to the Guptas to settle or why they had been party to arranging a chauffeur to ferry someone with her name to "L35", their luxury 10-bedroom villa in one of Dubai’s most sought-after addresses.
