Brothers Ajay, Atul and Rajesh (also known as Tony) Gupta, all in their 40s, relocated to South Africa :
from India's northern state of Uttar Pradesh in Saharanpur in 1993,
just as white minority rule was ending and the country was opening up to the rest of the world.

Shiv Kumar Gupta sent Atul to South Africa, believing that Africa was about to become the
"America of the world" - the world's land of opportunity.

If there was one thing that has united all South Africans in recent weeks,
just like the Fifa World Cup did in 2010,
it was the condemnation of the Gupta's family plane landing at the Waterkloof Air Base
near Pretoria
