Sygnia CEO and Zuma critic Magd Wierzyka has reportedly joined the Helen Suzman Foundation in launching court action against president Jacob Zuma, the Gupta family and ministers Lynne Brown and Malusi Gigaba, for allegedly pilfering R5 billion through Eskom.

According to a filing document seen by eNCA, Wierzyka – in her personal capacity – and the HSF want money to be recouped for a number of coal supply agreements (CSAs) as well as money given out as guarantees.

This includes R3.7 billion for the Brakfontein CSA in 2015; R1.68 billion paid to Eskom in a December 2015 guarantee; R117.5 million paid out in the January 2016 Arnot contract; R325.5 million for a February 2016 CSA; and R660 million in other payments.

Along with Eskom, the papers show a number of respondents, including:

President Jacob Zuma;

Ajay Gupta;

Atul Gupta;

Tony Gupta;

Duduzane Zuma;

Tegeta Exploration and Resources;

Minister of mineral resources – Mosebezi Zwane;

Minister of public enterprises – Lynne Brown;

Minister of water and sanitation – Nomvula Mokonyane ;

Minister of finance – Malusi Gigaba;

National Treasury and the respective departments.

Via her social media account on Thursday, Wierzyka said that it was time for the country to say “enough is enough”.

“The time has come to stop being passive observers as our beautiful country is being plundered by those who put their financial self-interests ahead of those of SA. The time has come for everyone to say enough is enough. The time has come to hold people to account,” she said.

Wierzyka has been very outspoken on the issue of state capture, and has held firm in her stance against president Jacob Zuma, who she has called on several times to vacate his office amid state capture allegations.

While she has made many statements and spoken out in her personal capacity, her stance is supported by Sygnia.

“This stance has been taken as we believe that unless corporate South Africa stands up and fights for the restoration of law and order in South Africa we are heading down an economic abyss, with all South Africans becoming progressively poorer,” the group said in its most recent financial statements.
