- Die Gupta-Familie (englisch: Gupta family oder kurz Guptas) ist ein Familienverband indischer Abstammung, der seit 1993 in Südafrika lebt. Zu ihm gehören unter anderem die Brüder Ajay, Atul und Rajesh „Tony“ Gupta und Atuls Neffe Varun Gupta. Sie sind durch ihre wirtschaftlichen Aktivitäten und engen Beziehungen zum früheren südafrikanischen Präsidenten Jacob Zuma, dessen Familie und mehreren Politikern bekannt, die häufig als State capture (etwa: „Übernahme des Staates“) bezeichnet werden.

- The Gupta family is a wealthy Indian-born family with business interests in South Africa, whose most notable members are brothers Ajay, Atul, and Rajesh "Tony" Gupta—as well as Atul's nephews Varun, and US-based Ashish and Amol. The family owns a business empire spanning computer equipment, media, and mining. The family became synomous with corruption in South Africa and has been sanctioned by multiple countries for their activities. In 2016, Atul Gupta became the seventh-wealthiest person in South Africa, with an estimated net worth of R10.7 billion (US$773.47 million), based on JSE-listed holdings. The family migrated from the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh to South Africa in 1993 to establish Sahara Computers. The family was based at the Sahara Estate in Saxonwold, Johannesburg, a compound comprising at least four mansions, until 2016 when they left South Africa for Dubai, United Arab Emirates. In 2022 an Interpol red notice was issued for the arrest of Atul and Rajesh Gupta to face fraud and money-laundering charges. The brothers were reportedly arrested in Dubai on 6 June 2022. Extradition talks took place between South Africa and United Arab Emirates. The family has been the focus of extensive international scrutiny and caused much political controversy as result of their close ties to Jacob Zuma before and during his presidency. Their strong connection to Zuma, both personally and through their company Oakbay Investments, have led to widespread claims of corruption and undue influence. These ties have also led to accusations of state capture: it is alleged that the government has undertaken activities and decisions, decided some high-level appointments, and determined control of some state enterprises, for the Gupta family's direct or indirect benefit, or in agreement with the family. In 2015, the Guptas' influence on the presidency was described by anti-corruption campaigner and former trades unionist Zwelinzima Vavi as being a "shadow government." Multiple Members of Parliament and ministers have stated that they were offered government positions by, or on behalf of, the Gupta family, in return for beneficial commercial decisions once appointed. In 2017, it was discovered that British PR company Bell Pottinger, acting on behalf of Gupta-owned Oakbay Investments, had deliberately manipulated and inflamed racial tensions, stirred up racial hatred, and made accusations of "white monopoly capital," using a large number of fake Twitter and other accounts online, as part of a campaign to portray Oakbay and those connected to it as victims, apparently intended to deflect corruption claims. Bell Pottinger subsequently collapsed in the wake of the scandal. (en)
- 古普塔家族（印地語：गुप्ता परिवार，南非語：Guptafamilie，英語：Gupta Family）為一印度裔南非商人家族，其核心成員包括阿賈伊（Ajay）、阿圖（Atul）、拉傑殊（Rajesh，又名東尼"Tony"），以及阿圖的三個外甥：瓦倫（Varun）、阿維什（Ashish）和阿莫爾（Amol），其中後兩位長居美國。古普塔家族的家族事業橫跨電腦相關產品、媒體業和礦業，由於該家族與前任南非總統雅各布·祖瑪關係匪淺，因此也充滿爭議性。 2016年，阿圖·古普塔成為南非第七大富豪，根據其於南非證券交易所上市之股票計算，其身價估計為107億蘭特，折合約7.73億美元。 古普塔家族於1993年由印度北方邦移民至南非，並成立撒哈拉電腦公司（Sahara Computers）。該家族於約翰尼斯堡撒哈拉社區擁有四套別墅，另於阿拉伯聯合大公國杜拜亦有置產。 古普塔家族與前任南非總統雅各布·祖瑪擁有著深厚的關係，除了個人交情外，還包括對奧克灣投資集團（Oakbay Investments）的投資。此一政商關係充滿爭議性，因涉及貪污、不恰當的影響力和（指政府的決策、活動、高層人事安排和國營事業的投資涉嫌直接或間接圖利古普塔家族）而受到國際矚目。 2015年，反貪人士和前勞工運動人士茲維林茲馬·瓦維（Zwelinzima Vavi）稱古普塔家族為南非的「影子政府」。多名國會議員亦指出自己曾被古普塔家族徵詢對擔任各類政府要職的興趣，並以為該家族的商業利益提供方便作為任職的交換條件。2017年，英國公關公司遭揭發為古普塔家族旗下的奧克灣投資集團製造假新聞，包括煽動族群之間的矛盾、製造種族對立和散發有關於「白人壟斷南非經濟」之類的輿論。報導指出，貝爾·波廷格利用推特等社群媒體的假帳號製造輿論，稱奧克灣投資集團為受害者，並試圖澄清其涉嫌貪汙之指控。貝爾·波廷格因此事件於事後倒閉。 2017年10月，美國聯邦調查局對古普塔家族居於美國的成員阿維什·古普塔（Ashish Gupta）和阿莫爾·古普塔（Amol Gupta）展開調查。兩人皆為長居德州的美國公民，涉嫌自阿拉伯聯合大公國的一家古普塔家族旗下的公司獲得不明資金。2018年2月16日，雅各布·祖瑪辭任南非總統後的第二天，阿賈伊·古普塔（Ajay Gupta）因拒絕配合司法調查而被南非檢方通緝。 (zh)
