Zuma says Gupta newspaper and TV station was his idea

“I have never done anything that breaks the law with this family. They were business people and successful business people. I am not a business person, I am a politician.”

“I said to them, 'can you try a media business? You are comrades, we need an alternative voice…Is it possible that you can establish a newspaper?' They had never thought of the idea. They came back and said they have decided to start a newspaper,” he said. “They [the Guptas] said give us a name. I gave them struggle newspaper [name] and they loved New Age. They established The New Age. They were very excited about it.”
