South Africa sold three multimillion-rand mansions tied to the corruption-tainted Gupta brothers for about 46% below their municipal value.

The properties fetched about 34.5 million rand ($1.9 million), including commissions and taxes, Park Village Auctions said Tuesday. They have separate title deeds, are in a state of disrepair, and have a combined municipal value of about 64 million rand.
