British public relations agency Bell Pottinger could be sold following a scandal involving a campaign it ran for a business belonging to controversial South Africa-based family the Guptas.
The family are said to have close links with president Jacob Zuma, who has been involved in alleged corruption since taking office in 2009, and Bell Pottinger`s campaign has been called "racially divisive."
It has hired accountancy firm BDO to look at possibilities. "I can confirm that we have hired BDO to look at all options for the business including a sale," a spokesperson for Bell Pottinger said in an email to CNBC.
