# The Department of International Relations and Cooperation cleared South Africa’s high commissioner to India, Anil Sooklal, following former president Jacob Zuma’s reported visit to the Gupta family in the Asian country in June. The investigation was launched after reports suggested Sooklal had assisted in arranging the meeting between Zuma and the Gupta brothers. The department says Sooklal acted within his mandate and followed proper protocol. DIRCO says its investigation found no evidence that he facilitated or had prior knowledge of the visit.
