## Resource

Former President Jacob Zuma’s surprise trip to India sparked global intrigue as he visited a Hindu temple and reunited with Ajay Gupta, defending the Gupta brothers amid corruption charges in South Africa. Claiming spiritual guidance from Indian leaders fueled his political comeback, Zuma unveiled his new MK party as his vehicle to resume his unfinished mission for South Africa. Analysts suspect the trip may have been a covert bid for financial support from the Guptas, reigniting questions about their enduring influence—even as they face legal battles abroad.
