Police officers gather outside Gupta residence

Security outside the Saxonwold Gupta household has increased, with police and private security in attendance.


A Rosebank police officer, a metro police officer as well as five to seven private security guards have been stationed outside the Gupta house, on the corner of Saxonwold Drive and Methwold Road in Johannesburg, North Eastern Tribune, reports.

It is alleged police officers refused to talk to the media about their reasons for being outside the politically connected Gupta house.
