A member of the Gupta family, who are friends of South African President Jacob Zuma, said his routine meetings with cabinet ministers didn’t mean he wielded any undue influence over the government as critics have alleged.
Ajay Gupta, 50, served on the board of Brand SA, South Africa’s international promotion agency, and met with ministers “many times,” he said.
