A revealing and highly embarrassing tell-all book will be out just before Christmas with insider's details about how the wheels came off at the amateurish and unprofessional ANN7 (DStv 405) - the 24-hour TV news channel nicknamed "GuptaTV" and "Gupta News - written by the ANN7 editor Rajesh Sundaram who fled the television disaster.
Rajesh Sundaram is back in Delhi, India and is writing a book, provisionally entitled Indentured.
In it Rajesh Sundaram plans to lift the lid on the highly embarrassing ANN7, and the alleged infighting and other operational scrambling which took place in the three months before ANN7 made its disastrous on-air launch in August.
Rajesh Sundaram says indentured will be "a factual account of my experience working in South Africa and for the Gupta family. [It] is due for release in December 2013. The publisher will make a formal announcement in a few days."
Rajesh Sundaram wants his intra company transfer permit to somehow possibly feature on the cover of Indentured, since he also alleged that some ANN7 workers from India are working illegally at ANN7, having stated "holiday" on their visa applications.
ANN7 has president Jacob Zuma son Duduzane Zuma and the politically connected Gupta family as investors in Infinity Media which is the holding company of ANN7.
ANN7 has been marred since launch by ongoing, terrible on-air and technical mistakes, as well as ongoing controversies behind the scenes.
