South Africa’s Gupta scandal is making world news, with BBC Newsnight the latest to cover the allegations of high-level corruption and state capture by the wealthy Indian family… fuelled by revelations of thousands of confidential Gupta-linked emails.

The programme, presented by Andrew Harding, also examines British PR firm Bell Pottinger’s role in distracting attention away from the Gupta Family and its problems by focussing on the country’s enduring racial divisions. The company had been employed by the Gupta’s for a price of £100,000 per month!
