Summary
South Africa's Department of International Relations will investigate Jacob Zuma's trip to India after reports he met Ajay Gupta there.
Indian media said Zuma visited a Hindu temple in Haridwar with Gupta and South Africa's high commissioner to India, Anil Sooklal, according to News24.
Ajay Gupta and his brothers are accused of orchestrating widespread government corruption during Zuma's presidency, making the reported meeting politically sensitive.
The probe puts renewed focus on Zuma's ties to the Gupta family, a central symbol of South Africa's state-capture scandal.
