IOL News reports that independent fact verification organisation Africa Check has rubbished the Gupta family’s claims that they employ at least 4,500 people in SA.
The agency has analysed all the Gupta companies and determined that they employ between 2,672 and 2,892 people, excluding The New Age newspaper’s staff, as it was not able to access those figures. It said The New Age would need to employ a minimum of 1,628 people to make up 4,500 employees, which was unlikely. Oakbay Investments’ website shows that the Guptas own companies across a number of sectors. These include Sahara Computers, JIC Mining Services, Shiva uranium mine, Tegeta Resources, The New Age newspaper, ANN7 television news channel and Clifftop Lodge, a safari lodge located in the Welgevonden private game reserve in Limpopo. Also listed under Oakbay Investments is a company called Sahara Systems, distinct from Sahara Computers.
