Join us on a tour of the Gupta compound on Saxonwold Drive; this was the home of the Gupta brothers, but it is now being sold at auction.


The Citizen had the opportunity to have a look around the Gupta compound in Saxonwold.

This was ahead of an auction taking place to sell the three properties.
