More Gupta Racism Exposed

[skeptic_SA]

Johannesburg – Further indications of the Guptas’ racist attitudes towards black people have surfaced in a newly discovered email from the #GuptaLeaks.

“. . . they have tenant from 1 October, R15k per month but he is Nigerian. Still looking for someone else,” an employee of the Guptas’ Sahara Computers wrote in an email to Atul Gupta in September 2015.

In the email, Sahara employee Rana Kumar updated Gupta on four properties the family appeared to have been leasing to tenants.

The email appears to suggest that the Guptas had a prospective tenant for a property in Century City in Cape Town in 2015, but because the would-be renter was Nigerian, the family would rather keep searching for another tenant.

The Guptas, who did not respond to News24’s queries, have denied past allegations of racism “with contempt”.

- SPECIAL REPORT: #GuptaLeaks

But other emails from the #GuptaLeaks suggest that the Guptas’ generally view black people as being inferior to them.

Earlier this month, News24 reported on a #GuptaLeaks email that suggests Rajesh “Tony” Gupta once called security guards stationed at the family’s Saxonwold residence “monkeys”.

Concluding that someone is racist because they didn't want to rent to a Nigerian is a stretch...just saying.

/No Nigerians were harmed in the making of this post.

Agreed, I think the press is trying to milk this Gupta thing now, they feal the need to constantly bring out jucy bits. This is a non event, a non story.

It isn't given that we know how they feel about black people.

I have rented property to White, Indian and black South Africans and all were superb tenants, but I'd let a property stay vacant if the only applicant was Nigerian.

I don't doubt that the Guptas are racist, but this article is BS.

Now time for a tricky question.

And if it was a white Nigerian ? (There are some)

I'd have the same concerns that the property be used for illicit activity, poorly kept, and then fly by night without paying the bills.

Hell no. Those bastids are dangerous.

This is totally unasked for. Facts, truths and logic has no place here. If you guys keep this up, the Guptas will have a good name in no time. Should be ashamed of yourselves.

They deserve a taste of how it feels. Our darker bretherin can basically say what they want and there are no repercussions. But oh sweet baby jeezus let a whitey say anything involving any other demographic and there is a shiztstorm of note hey Penny?

Since Indian is now BEE approved (and basically black - right?) - its nice to see the shoe on the other foot. Lets see them spin their way out of this one. Wait indians are good at spin no? Ravichandran Ashwin. Ravindra Jadeja. Harbhajan Singh...
