The son of South Africa’s president has resigned from a company owned by a family accused of wielding undue political influence in the country.<\/p>\n

Duduzane Zuma said he was leaving his position in a mining company owned by the controversial Gupta family due to “a sustained political attack”.<\/p>\n

Two members of the Gupta family – non-executive chairman Atul Gupta and head Varun Gupta – have also resigned with immediate effect from Oakbay, but it remains in the family’s hands.<\/p>\n

The Guptas moved from India to South Africa in 1993 and have acquired interests in computers, mining and air travel.<\/p>\n

Mr Zuma’s critics have said his relationship to the Guptas is so close that they describe the two families as the “Zuptas”.<\/p>\n
