Businesswoman Magda Wierzycka fled to the Maldives with her family in late April 2017, fearing for their safety, driven out of the country by a rumour that "a cache of dangerous information about the Guptas [that] was 'floating around' and was about to become public".
Within weeks, the Sunday Times and City Press would publish a selection of the emails, providing the first insight into the Gupta Leaks, showing that the family controlled South Africa through their connection with former president Jacob Zuma and a long line of ANC loyalists and government officials.
Wierzycka reveals for the first time that she had not leaked the emails to the newspapers, an accusation levelled by journalists involved in the leaks from the start, in her new book, Magda: My Journey, which is available in bookstores from 25 April.
