Johannesburg – The Gupta family also voted on Wednesday – in typical Gupta style, arriving in three luxury vehicles with three bodyguards in tow at the voting station in Saxonwold.

A Netwerk24 user who also voted at Saxonwold Primary said most of them wore ANC T-shirts. “They were a group of about 10 people and arrived at noon in three black SUVs and a black Mini Cooper.”

One of their security staff arrived first to scan the venue.

When the first SUV pulled up, a police officer shouted: “Ooh! Here come the Guptas!”

“At first, I didn’t understand what he meant, but then I saw the huge vehicles pull up,” the reader told Netwerk24.

When they got out, they looked like “regular people” dressed in track suit pants, jeans, T-shirts and flip flops.

The three guards accompanied them to the voting station.

“They were greeted by the ANC ward councillor and other ANC members shook their hands. They had a nice chat.”

The reader said they were not given any special treatment by IEC staff. “They had to queue like everyone else.”

After voting, they re-joined the ANC members, and one of them shouted “Amandla” before they left.
