Statement from Oakbay Investments, on behalf of the Gupta family in response to The Sunday Times article 'How Guptas shopped for new minister', 13 March, 2016
Issued on behalf of the Gupta Family
Johannesburg, South Africa – Sunday 13 March 2016: "There have been an extraordinary number of allegations around the Gupta family in recent weeks, several of which have involved the Finance Ministry. As we have said countless times, our primary focus is on business, not politics (see Sunday Times report).
We challenge the faceless purveyors of these lies to provide evidence of any of these allegations.
To be absolutely clear: there was no meeting at all.
Further, Atul Gupta was not even in South Africa on the date of the alleged meeting.
