Author Argues Gupta 'Republic' Was Not Built Solely by the Guptas in Letter to Mahlamba Ndlopfu

In a letter to Mahlamba Ndlopfu, the author argues that the so-called 'Republic of the Gupta' was not built solely by the Gupta family, but rather through a network of enablers and collaborators. The letter contends that the narrative of a single family's dominance oversimplifies the complex web of political and business relationships that facilitated state capture.
