The relationship between Zuma and the Gupta brothers is one of the focuses of the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture which he himself set up before he was ousted by his own party. Zuma and the Guptas deny the allegations. Meanwhile the financial blacklisting was reported across the globe, the Guptas will face increasing difficulty doing business globally.
