Who are the Guptas ?

[size=12pt]Brothers Ajay, Atul and Rajesh (also known as Tony) Gupta, all in their 40s, relocated to South Africa :

from India's northern state of Uttar Pradesh in Saharanpur in 1993,

just as white minority rule was ending and the country was opening up to the rest of the world. [/size]

Shiv Kumar Gupta sent Atul to South Africa, believing that Africa was about to become the

"America of the world"  - the world's land of opportunity.

It is said that when Atul arrived in Africa's largest economy and he set up the family business

Sahara Computers :

which distributes hardware, he was amazed at the lack of red tape compared to India.

The Zumas and the Guptas

• [li] Bongi Ngema-Zuma, one of the president's wives, works for the Guptas[/li]
  

• [li] Duduzile Zuma, his daughter, was a director at Sahara Computers[/li]
  

• [li] Duduzane Zuma, a son, is a director in some Gupta-owned companies[/li]
  

indians know how to play the game

If there was one thing that has united all South Africans in recent weeks,

just like the Fifa World Cup did in 2010,

it was the condemnation of the Gupta's family plane landing at the Waterkloof Air Base

near Pretoria

The governing African National Congress (ANC) concurred with the opposition Democratic Alliance

that this was a blatant abuse of power by a family that enjoys a cosy relationship :

with South Africa's first family..

and he was actually amazed at the lack of red tape?????  :o

really????

The ANC in a statement demanded that those responsible for giving the family permission

to come into the country without going through the normal channels be :

" brought to book ".  :-[

The lavish wedding may have backfired on the Gupta family
