Former President Zuma and the three monkeys – hear nothing, see nothing and say nothing!

Posted on Leave a comment

The statues of the three monkeys materialized as the Zondo commission dragged on. The one monkey closes his ears, the other his eyes and the other his mouth. Now Zuma comes and says, “I can’t remember, I can’t say anything, I wasn’t there”

This is Jacob Zuma’s answer to his questions. He now attempts to be the great martyr on whom everyone wants to put the blame on and even told the commission he had receive death threats.

He seeks to divert attention from his involvement in the State Capture process through all kinds of accusations against people and institutions who apparently discredit him and want to get rid of him.

Political analysts warn that Zuma’s attack on the ANC’s leadership could spark a storm in the party. Meanwhile, the money baron Johann Rupert dismissed Zuma as a pathological liar.

ANC stalwarts reacted to Zuma’s haunting week at the State Capture Inquiry: “He’s a spineless thug”

Posted on Leave a comment

Former president Jacob Zuma may have dug his own grave with his antics at the State Capture Inquiry. His own brotherhood of ANC cadres has turned against him after he made startling allegations about some of them.

In what turned out to be one of the most dramatic weeks of deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo’s commission of inquiry into state capture, Jacob Zuma kept the ratings of news networks peaking with the shocking accusations he levelled against his comrades.

Jacob Zuma stirs disruption within ANC factions
Zuma went from alleging that he has outsmarted three intelligence agencies — two of whom are supposedly of foreign origin — tasked with assassinating him, and his character, for 29 years; to hinting that he may have knowledge on the ANC mole who sold SACP leader, Chris Hani, out to the apartheid government.

All of this he achieved in five days. However, his utterances about ANC veterans such as former SANDF General, Siphiwe Ny

President in absentia: More than 30! That’s how many times Zuma failed to answer questions at state capture inquiry

Posted on Leave a comment

How many times did former president Jacob Zuma respond to questions at the state capture inquiry with “I don’t know”, “I don’t remember” or “I’m not sure”? We counted. During his testimony from Monday to Wednesday last week, he denied knowing the answers to 36 questions.

Last week, the former president dominated news headlines when he appeared before deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo at the commission in Johannesburg. He was expected to, among other things, respond to allegations levelled against him by nine witnesses, including former public enterprises minister Barbara Hogan and former GCIS CEO Themba Maseko.

He quickly earned himself the name “president in absentia” for not being able to answer questions put to him by evidence leader Paul Pretorius and Judge Zondo.

Guptas at it again – workers unpaid but lavish R100m double wedding planned – most likely funded by the ANC-regime?

Posted on Leave a comment

The Emirates Palace hotel in Abu Dhabi where the Gupta family are reportedly hosting a lavish double wedding in February 2019.

The Guptas are reported to be hosting a lavish double wedding at a palatial hotel in Abu Dhabi.

The AmaBhungane Centre for Investigative Journalism published a nine-page wedding invitation on Friday and said the bash, an event lasting five days between February 19 and 23, could end up costing as much as R100m.

“The wedding is a double-feature, with Rajesh ‘Tony’ Gupta’s daughter Shubhangi Singhala marrying Chetan Jain and Atul Gupta’s son Srikant Singhala tying the knot with Akhya Bansal.

“This is the third publicly lavish wedding the family has funded,” said AmaBhungane.

The logos of Gupta companies in South Africa, including the Koornfontein mine where miners have gone unpaid, are featured in the wedding invitation.

The publication said a request for comment direct

Ramaphosa’s share in SA’s dilapidated state is questioned and his latest press release is inconsistent: “I did not deliberately mislead Parliament about R500 000 Bosasa donation”

Posted on Leave a comment

President Cyril Ramaphosa, in a statement to the Public Protector, says he “did not deliberately mislead Parliament” regarding the R500 000 Bosasa contribution to his 2017 ANC presidential campaign.

The statement follows Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane confirming on January 25 that she would investigate whether Ramaphosa had lied about a campaign donation received from controversial facilities company Bosasa, now known as African Global Operations (AGO).

Mkhwebane’s decision came after DA leader Mmusi Maimane and EFF leader Julius Malema on several occasions said that Ramaphosa had lied to Parliament about the money his ANC presidential campaign received from Bosasa CEO Gavin Watson. Ramaphosa met with Mkhwebane on January 29, to discuss the donation.

Bosasa has received billions of rands in government contracts over the past decade and has been implicated in alleged corruption.

Its alleged dubious financial transact

It pays to be the son of the most corrupt president SA ever had – NPA to ‘drop’ corruption charges against Duduzane Zuma

Posted on Leave a comment

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) is expected to provisionally withdraw corruption charges against former president Jacob Zuma’s son Duduzane in the Specialised Commercial Crimes Court on Thursday.

Duduzane Zuma’s lawyers have declined to comment until the court process is finalised on Thursday morning. NPA spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane Aldo said the state would comment only after Thursday’s court proceedings. Business Day understands that the NPA sent a letter to Duduzane Zuma’s lawyers on Tuesday, notifying them of the provisional withdrawal of the charges.

The exact reason for that withdrawal is not known at this time, but follows the NPA’s decision to provisionally withdraw charges against Gupta family members and associates late in 2018, in connection with the alleged Estina Dairy Project scam.

Duduzane Zuma was charged in July 2018 with corruption, alternatively conspiracy to commit corruption, relating to an alleged R60

After the ANC regime came to power in 1994, South Africa became a completely corrupt state, the statement being proved daily by the skeletons now being excavated by the Commission of State Inquiry

Posted on Leave a comment

The Secretary of the Commission investigating State capture, dr. Khotso De Wee had to go on “leave” after it was revealed that he also received Bosasa bribes.

The accusation was made on Friday, the third day of Angelo Agrizzi’s testimony before the Commission.

In addition to the accusation against the secretary, it is also another point of reference as to what extent the actual situation of corruption in South-Africa seems to be.

Agrizzi said he was informed that De Wee secretary was one of several senior officials at the Department of Justice who received Bosasa bribe money.

Observers say it now appears that the country is totally rotten because of corruption, and that this is probably just the peak of a massive iceberg corruption.

Rolling Blackouts in South Africa Because Treasonous ANC Regime Sells Best Coal To China and Uses Proceeds Elsewhere?

Posted on Leave a comment

Despite, (or thanks to Billions in foreign investment in Eskom), 7.2 Million tons of SA’s best coal is destined for China from Richards Bay Harbor while South Africans suffer under rolling blackouts. 36 Chinese ships are waiting for coal to be loaded in Richards Bay Harbour. Each ship takes about 36 hours to be loaded with 200,000 tons of coal per ship average. The coal is Grade A anthracite.

According to the source, Eskom has huge stockpiles of coal and they are lying because they want that 15% increase in electricity tariffs. Is the shortage real or not? This would explain the back and forth with excuses for the blackouts

BEHIND THE ROLLING BLACKOUTS (“LOAD SHEDDING”)

12 July 2018 – Ramaphosa together with Jeff Radebe and Patrice Motsepe goes to Saudi Arabia and the Saudis invest $10 billion in Eskom.

24 July 2018 – Eskom signs a R33 billion loan with China Development Bank.
