The elite unit said two more suspects were due to surrender to authorities.
Hawks spokesperson Hangwani Mulaudzi would not immediately reveal the names of those arrested.
“Let’s just say that it includes charges of fraud‚” he said.
It is understood that prior to raiding the Gupta residence‚ officers had raided a Bedfordview home‚ believed to be that of a former MD of Sahara Systems.
Mulaudzi refused to comment on whether the two incidents were linked.
