Dirty Dancing featuring the Guptas and Helen Zille


Helen Zille are presently in a public spat with the Guptas.  The Guptas are accusing Helen Zille for being double-faced. She is attacking the Guptas, while having received donations from them.  In 2009/2010 the Democratic Alliance (DA) received donations  worth R400 000 from an associate of the Gupta family and one of their companies. Zille insists there was nothing wrong with the donations, as there was no scandal involving the Guptas when the money was accepted. When she learnt where the donations came from she instructed the DA “to have nothing to do with the Gupta family or any of their companies”.
