The money was loaned so that they could purchase their Bombardier business jet, which became infamous as ZS-OAK, and has flown South African politicians and officials across the globe. Once again, the leaks reveal how major international entities were willing to overlook the Guptas’ political exposure, potentially breaking their own laws and regulations in the process. </p>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div style=\"line-height: inherit; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;\">\r\n<div style=\"line-height: 20px; font-size: 1px;\"> </div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div style=\"line-height: inherit; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;\">\r\n<div style=\"display: block; font-size: 1px; line-height: 1px; background-\"> </div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div style=\"line-height: inherit; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;\">\r\n<div style=\"line-height: 20px; font-size: 1px;\"> </div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"layout two-col fixed-width\" style=\"max-width: 600px; width: calc(28000% - 173000px); font-family: Times; font-size: medium; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px auto; min-width: 320px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;\">\r\n<div class=\"layout__inner\" style=\"line-height: inherit; border-collapse: collapse; display: table; width: 600px; background-color: #ffffff;\" emb-background->\r\n<div class=\"column\" style=\"display: table-cell; vertical-align: top; float: left; max-width: 320px; width: calc(12300px - 2000%); text-align: left; line-height: 21px; min-width: 300px;\">\r\n<div style=\"line-height: inherit; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px; margin-top: 12px;\">\r\n<p class=\"size-26\" style=\"font-size: 26px; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 0px; \" lang=\"x-size-26\"><a class=\"aHeading\" style=\" line-height: inherit; \" href=\"http://email.touchbasepro.com/t/d-l-kuptkk-l-x/\">LIVE: The Gathering - Media Edition</a></p>\r\n<div class=\"size-18\" style=\"font-size: 18px !important; line-height: 26px !important; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px;\" lang=\"x-size-18\">\r\n<p>Pravin Gordhan, the People's Bae, and a host of other political and media-related leaders will all be speaking today at the Daily Maverick Gathering.<span> </span><a href=\"http://email.touchbasepro.com/t/d-l-kuptkk-l-m/\">Click through here</a><span> </span>to follow it all live from <g class=\"gr_ gr_117 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Style multiReplace\" id=\"117\" data-gr-id=\"117\">9am</g> onwards.
