Gupta Empire: The rise and fall

The inquiry into State Capture gets under way today. The Gupta family at the centre of it all. Within two decades, the family had soared to the pinnacle of the country’s financial and political echelons. We take a look at who the Guptas are. When did they come to South Africa? eNCA's Nickolaus Bauer filed this report.

@@braamies5339 As a black person Sanjay, I know very well I would not be well received in India. I would be called a Kala and generally receive abuse on the streets. Secondly I would be excluded from roles at Indian firms. So why should black Africans be accommodating towards south asians when you are not welcoming to us?? Idi Amin correctly understood Indians would never integrate with the native Ugandan population and would forever look down on Black Africans. So he understandably asked them to leave.
