“Zuma took my R2.5m bribe, and I’ve got the tape to prove it” – Convicted gangster Radovan Krejcir

Posted on Leave a comment

Radovan Krejcir says he recorded a meeting where he gave millions to the Zuma family, in exchange for political asylum in South Africa.

It wouldn’t be a Tuesday morning without catching up with the latest developments from the murky world of Jacob Zuma. It’s a case of another week, and another grubby revelation regarding corruption, as convicted gangster Radovan Krejcir has submitted a detailed affidavit to the police.

Who is Radovan Krejcir?
As City Press report, Krejcir is currently serving 35 years behind bars for drug-dealing, kidnapping and the attempted murder of Bhekithemba Lukhele in June 2013.

However, back in 2011, he claims that he attempted to fast-track himself to political asylum in South Africa, paying a visit to the Zuma homestead.

In his sworn statement, the Czech national says that he drove to Nkandla after sorting a meeting out with Duduzane Zuma. When he arrived at the property, he met Jacob

Some very expensive toilets I say! – Mayor of eThekwini in Hawks vision for allegations of money laundering, fraud and corruption after more than R25 million was spent on the rent and cleaning of chemical toilets

eThekwini Mayor Zandile Gumede and senior ANC councillor in the metro Mondli Mthembu face the possibility of arrest by the Hawks after the completion of a lengthy investigation into allegations of money laundering, fraud and corruption against them.

Following the arrest of three municipal officials on charges of fraud and theft early last week, City Press can today reveal that the Hawks have shifted their focus to Gumede and Mthembu and are ready to pounce on the two.
