One can't help wondering if the Guptas represent the tip of the iceberg as far as looting  by politicians is concerned.  Perhaps the Guptas are actually amateurs ...the real strategy has been to divert attention away from the big stuff by dominating the news with Zupta  scandals...the major  damage might be happening between the looters and China/Russia via Brics contacts?   The leader is reputedly a chess player of note...a stealth attack  might be going on under our very noses while we look towards Saxonwold  and the Zuma boys.
