Pretoria - Former cooperative governance and traditional affairs minister Des van Rooyen turned to the Gauteng High Court Pretoria to set aside the report of the public protector in which it was found that he lied to Parliament about visiting the Gupta compound in Saxonwold.
This was a few months after former president Jacob Zuma appointed Van Rooyen on December 9, 2015, to a short lived stint as finance minister. Van Rooyen said it is clear the question was specifically directed at him in his capacity as minister. DA member Kevin Mileham lodged a complaint with the public protector in which he claimed Van Rooyen had lied to Parliament.
He said the public protector was well aware that the Parliamentary question only related to the period since he took office as finance minister.
