NATIONAL NEWS - Atul Gupta has denied claims that his family created the term "white monopoly capital" with the help of public relations firm Bell Pottinger.
The Guptas and the firm have been under fire for months now over the family's alleged atttempts to capture the government but both insist that their relationship - which has since been terminated - was above board.
Gupta was interviewed by BBC Radio 4 - who also spoke to Bell Pottinger's former chairperson Lord Bell and the current CEO James Henderson on Tuesday to discuss their alleged campaign to exploit racial tensions in South Africa.
During the interview Atul denies seeking Bell Pottinger’s services for political reasons and maintains that the company was only helping with PR for Oakbay Investments.
