Can we call it all WAR CRIMES – the violation of human rights? that started already with the Anglo Boer Wars – What on earth can we as Afrikaners and Boers call the following different scenarios that followed?

1. The 25 years of BLACK PRIVILEGES (see the short lists).

2. The racist ANC and Black Economic Empowerment legislations only against Whites in South Africa.

3. More than 5000+ farms bought by the ANC under the flag of re-distribution or expropriation.

4. The torturing, killing and raping of our identity, language Afrikaans and white people’s lives – genocide?

5. The killing of black on black / other peoples – genocide?

ARE THERE DIFFERENT GENOCIDES AND ARRANGED BY WHOM?

6. Since 1994 there are 30+ millions of blacks and coloureds still live on their own tribal lands, called trustlands or cpa – all separate from each other – 8840 traditional leaders – each with their own land – they are not landless – it is a fact, “apartheid or segregation” was not created by us or Dr Verwoerd, but by blacks themselves, by their tribal leaders and the BRITISH Empire in 1854.

7. All in the names, organisations, elites (all groupings) that want to take everything for themselves, with the assistance of GEORGE SOROS – there are more like SOE’s, power stations, airports, harbours, gameparks and mineral explorations – those lands never belong to any white Afrikaner or Boer.?

8. Where do the 40-50 million immigrants and illegals stay and live in South Africa?

9. 14-15% VAT on all crime related matters, medical situations, security and insurances – amounts outstanding to our TAX – SARS as well.

THERE ARE MORE

Quote from “whitenationnetwork” – 15 March 2019

The African National Corruption mob is starting to implode…fast and furious that is. We have been long suspecting ( with solid proof that is) that the les miserables in the mafia mob in Lethuli-House has been running South Africa like an ATM machine standing in their own “hood.” Since the State Capture , the VBS debacle and the Zondo commission the worms literally started crawling out of that Lethuli-house worm infested tin like a mini-Tsunami.

Now another barrage of resignations are in the order of the day – and tremors are now rattling the windows of that viper’s nest as those worms start to speak. AND the vibes they make does not sound too well for the rubble at the top. As we already mentioned in a previous article…the arch fiend’s name “Zuma” just keep popping up time and again.

Now we already have heard some strange noises coming from that old mobster Jacob Zuma and then another kingpin hoodlum David Mabusa– that should the mob dare acting anything close to being unfavorable to their liking- their will be some MORE worms crawling – or like Bethabile Dlamini put it “ Little Nyani skeletons” out of that slimy tin. The latest worm to start spitting some really unsavory venom at the mob is no other than one of their departing big she-males…Bathabile Dlamini herself..and it appears she’s bringing some more ” Little Nyani skeletons” with her indeed!

Bathabile Dlamini said she was made a scapegoat and an easy target as she resigned as a member of parliament on Tuesday. In a ten-page letter signed by Dlamini and sent to ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule, Dlamini spoke her mind on the state of the ANC and her role in the grants debacle of 2017. “I hold no grudge for being reshuffled and not being appointed,” Dlamini said adding that there was “a lot of noise”aimed at discrediting her. She said in the constitutional court judgment against her in the Sassa case “not once was I proven to be corrupt”. Dlamini insisted that ANC leaders must “have two ears” and treat all members accused of wrongdoing equally.

“Given the influence of the media nowadays and how it has been used to destroy some of us. The African National Congress has the responsibility of giving all of us a hearing, more particularly those that serve in the executive,” Dlamini bemoaned. Her resignation from parliament on Monday came after Cyril Ramaphosa did not include her in his cabinet. Had she remained as an ordinary member of the national assembly, she would have lost her right to a significant pension as a former minister.

Dlamini used her letter to Magashule to hit out at some leaders of the party, saying some of them have “made themselves look clean when that has not been proven”. She said a challenge in the party is that there are people who think they “own” the president and the secretary-general, without elaborating who they were. “The very same people that complained about this during the past leadership are repeating this and I am not sure whether they think this is good when it is done by them,” Dlamini wrote.

She further added:

“It is also worrisome that these are members in the NEC that have fought all presidents from president Nelson Mandela, president Thabo Mbeki and president Jacob Zuma. I am waiting to see what they are planning for the present leadership.” Dlamini claimed there were many foreign ( we guess British) behaviors creeping into the party but that no one was prepared to stop it. She bemoaned the state of the party before the Nasrec conference in 2017 saying, “the ANC has never attended a conference under such a cloud”. Turning to the the controversy over the payment of grants last year, Dlamini accused her former cabinet colleagues of “treason” for suggesting the South African Post Office distribute social grants “when they knew the Post Office did not have the capacity to pay grants”.

The Constitutional Court was forced to extend a contract between Sassa, which Dlamini was in charge of as minister of social development, and Cash Paymaster Services (CPS), even though the contract was found to have been illegal. She was accused to have failed to ensure that Sassa was equipped to administer social grants after the contract with CPS was due to expire.

The court then ordered an inquiry to determine the culpability around the social grants crisis and in a subsequent judgment, the court described Dlamini’s conduct as “reckless and grossly negligent”‚saying she failed to disclose information before an inquiry into her role in the social grants debacle. Dlamini, in her letter to Magashule, said she found CPS at the department when she was first appointed and accused unnamed ANC leaders of making profit through CPS through their wives, saying those people are known but because they are well-respected by the party nothing has been said to them. “I have been made a scapegoat, an easy target,” she said.

Dlamini further took a jab at former minister Jeff Radebe, saying “what happened when minister Jeff Radebe took over (the managing of the grants crisis) is a story for another day”.

“He started taking over the role of the minister of social development and no one raised the matter with him and I kept quiet. The whole process took another turn,” she said. Dlamini also accused minister Pravin Gordhan of “working with the banks”.“

Actually the first time I communicated with minister Pravin Gordhan, he suggested that we should call everyone to go and register with banks and it became clear to me that he worked with banks,” she wrote. Dlamini said the crisis around the payment of grants was “engineered somewhere” because she wanted the distribution of grants taken to a local level. “Presently we are all quiet because we are afraid of asking relevant questions. We are afraid of talking about a system that had been taken to another level and was destroying those that behave as if they are defending the country when they are defending monopoly capital,” she hit back.

NOW White Nation has been keeping a bit of track to try to determine what “Little Nyani Skeletons” Dlamini, Zuma and Mabusa was talking about…and brother...that “Nyani” skeletons appear NOT to be so “Nyani” as well.

This is literally the tip of the iceberg…or should we rather say” lid of the tin” – that we could find so far- and believe you me...there are MUCH more hidden in that deep and dark interior. You can also have a peek where your tax money is going to…how it has been wasted by this glutenous greedy pigs this past years IF you have the time at hand that is. AND remember- while your grandmother gets locked up immediately for stealing a bar of chocolate from the local retail store- NONE of this political white collar criminals EVER was even arrested, charged- or even to speak of dragged before a court of law for all their heinous and blatant plundering of your hard earned tax money. They simply “resign” and then “disappear” into oblivion- just to be RE-APPOINTED in another lucrative gravy train seat after a few tears of “rehabilitation.”

214. THe Robert McBride corruption charges with the Ethukuleni municipality

215: The Estine Farm project that cost the tax payer R 180 million. The Estina farm has taken centre stage in an international money laundering scandal – uncovered by amaBhungane and Daily Maverick’s Scorpio – that saw R180-million in public money being funneled through a complex web of local and international companies, all controlled in one way or another by the Gupta family.

216: The EFF and DA’s R 1 bn Johannesburg fleet contract scandal. The DA went into an agreement with the EFF after the 2016 local government election as the DA did not have the required 50 % to govern alone and needed the EFF’s support .That is how DA mayors came to power in Tshwane, Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth…through bribery.

217. The Optimum mine scandal: Optimum was purchase in a pre-arranged deal for R659 million by Eskom which involved the Guptas, through Clinton Ephron, -previous chief of Glencore.

219. The Public Servants Association (PSA) has called for immediate steps to be taken against Deputy Minister of Finance, Mondli Gungubele,following revelations at the Public Investment Corporation (PIC) Commission of Inquiry into impropriety that confirm that he misled the Commission in his testimony with regard to corruption to enrich himself.

220. The ANC vote-buying scandal. The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid) believes money from a contract irregularly awarded by the police at an inflated price was to be laundered for the purchasing of votes at the ANC’s national conference in December 2017. It was during the same conference that Cyril Ramaphosa overcame his political opponent Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma by about 200 votes to become the party’s president

221. The failed Cuban disaster where the Department of Health sent black medical students to Cuba for training. The money spent by the Health Dept on sending students on a failed Cuban medical training jamboree could have built a new medical school here or at least been spent on fixing dilapidated state hospitals. The black students was sent over to Cuba for medical training had to be brought back in disgrace… now shoved into local overcrowded medical schools to complete last 2 years of study. But there are major problems. The ANC’s lot in their obsession with Cuba hasn’t bothered to assess the type of medical training … the students only had observation training … they never got to examine an actual patient … ZERO clinical training done. The students were given generous stipends by the SA taxpayer which apparently exceeded the salary of the Prof head of surgery in Cuba… they spent their time partying in Miami and elsewhere … not too popular with the Cubans. The students have to, after their 2 years of SA medical study, write their final exams … the highest mark achieved was 6%! They obviously can’t become doctors so it’s been a waste of tax payers’ money.

222. It took only three hours for Eskom to pay a R659 million advance payment to the Gupta-linked Tegeta Exploration and Resources to fully acquire Glencore’s Optimum Coal Mine (OCM), without any goods or services having been delivered to the utility, the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture heard on Tuesday.

223. Former Eskom executive Matshela Koko has been accused of irregularly awarding a company an R800-million tender during his time at the power utility. The Sunday Times has reported that Koko guaranteed multinational engineering company Asea Brown Boveri (ABB) contracts worth R6.5 billion if they subcontracted work on the Kusile power station to a company part-owned by his stepdaughter, Impulse International.

224. In the same week that energy regulator Nersa granted Eskom a hefty tariff hike, the power utility reportedly paid R12 billion for flawed designs at one of its power stations – with an additional R1 billion paid to the same firm for repairs. The City Press reported that a confidential tender report for Eskom showed that the power utility gave a blank cheque to a US firm to design the Kusile power station – which it then cashed for R12 billion.

225. Public protector correct: R300m of Nelson Mandela burial money was stolen

226. The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) is looking into the theft of R170 billion from Eskom, the Sunday Times reported. The report stated that of this figure, R139 billion is related to 11 contractors who helped build the Medupi, Kusile, and Ingula power plants. An “orgy of looting” is suspected in contracts handed out by Eskom – and when combined with other losses due to state capture, the total amount of looting at Eskom could reach R500 billion. The SIU confirmed it is looking into contractors appointed to build certain Eskom power plants and its investigations are wide-reaching.

227. Port Elizabeth businessman and ANC funder Fareed Fakir allegedly boasted about how he bankrolled a local politician and officials, paying millions of rands in cash, property and a Mercedes Benz ML at the height of the looting frenzy of the Nelson Mandela Bay bus system.

228. The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) was heading for factual insolvency by the end of March and a net financial loss of R568 million for the financial year, the public broadcaster’s management team told members of parliament (MPs) on Tuesday.

229. Two weeks before corruption-accused African Global Operations (AGO) – formerly known as Bosasa – was placed under liquidation, the company paid its CEO Gavin Watson a R5m “performance bonus” – over and above his monthly salary of R5.7m.

230. The Electoral Commission of South Africa will investigate the ANC’s alleged Bosasa-funded elections “war rooms”. IEC confirmed in a letter to DA leader Mmusi Maimane. This after the DA laid a complaint, as it believes the allegation that Bosasa paid up to R6 million for the “war rooms” constitutes a breach of the Electoral Code of Conduct. “No registered party or candidate may abuse a position of power, privilege or influence, including parental, patriarchal, traditional or employment authority to influence the conduct or outcome of an election,” the code states. Last month, News24 exposed how Bosasa – now known as African Global Operations – paid more than R6 million for ANC “war rooms” at their Krugersdorp headquarters ahead of the 2011, 2014 and 2016 elections, without the ANC footing any of the bills.

231. Another waste by the ANC government is their feeding project that was erected at the cost of millions 7 years ago in Tweespruit at Thaba Phatswa- Orange Free State on the tax payer’s cost that still stands empty and unused. This feeding facility was erected for new upcoming black farmers and can accommodate around 20 000 calves. As of today only grass and weed flourish around the buildings.

232. The Central Energy Fund (CEF) yesterday admitted that it oversold its strategic fuel stock for $280million (R4.02billion) two years ago after the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Energy demanded more answers on the transaction. The CEF said the sale was now the subject of investigations and legal action with board members having already filed affidavits. However, the fund was still waiting for the court case to be enrolled in the Western Cape High Court after it filed an application last year to declare the sale unlawful and invalid.

233. A report by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) recommends that 42 people – including government officials – be prosecuted for fraudand corruption linked to land reform programs. The report was handed over to Ramaphosa in March 2018 but was only recently uncovered by BusinessDay after it submitted a Promotion to Access to Information Application (PAIA). As part of the report, the SIU probed 148 land reform projects between 2011 and 2017, finding that a ‘complete lack of controls’ led to fraudulent activities on an enormous scale. In one such project, grants were made available to beneficiaries to cover the costs of the acquisition of agricultural land. These beneficiaries were then expected to stay and work on the farms they were given as a way of paying back some of the money they had received. However, the SIU found that in many of these cases thousands of alleged beneficiaries were not even aware of the project and had never been to their farms. Others had never lived or worked on a farm and did not qualify for grants. While the report led to more than 24 farms valued at more than R382 million being forfeited to the state, most of those implicated by the report have not faced prosecution, with a National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson telling BusinessDay that investigations were “still ongoing.”

234. The Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has paid a law firm more than R27 million for legal services that it could have obtained for free from the Office of the State Attorney.

The lucrative contract is with the law firm of Barnabas Xulu, a high-profile attorney who helped set up the Friends of Jacob Zuma Trust, and who is known for defending Western Cape Judge President John Hlophe.

235. Energy minister, Jeff Radebe is entangled in a secret $1bn (R14.5bn) oil deal in war-ravaged South Sudan, but his investment pledge has raised eyebrows in government circles – and could land him in hot water. The minister’s team has already spent about R20m pursuing the mystery deal, including hiring a private jet to travel to the underdeveloped country.

236. Both the chairman and the chief executive officer of the Road Accident Fund (RAF) admitted in the latest annual report that the fund isinsolvent, with liabilities exceeding assets by more than R206 billion at end March 2018. The annual report states that the fund “has been insolvent since 1981”. The total liabilities with regards to claims agreed to during the reporting period, but not paid at the end of the year, amounted to R38.3 billion.

237. The Government Employees’ Pension Fund (GEPF) faces a record long-term funding shortfall of R583 billion, partly due to bad investment decisions. This gap might ultimately have to be plugged by under-pressure taxpayers. This emerged from the fund’s latest actuarial valuation at the end of March last year, prepared by Alexander Forbes Financial Services in November last year. Minister of Finance Tito Mboweni approved the public release of the actuarial valuation in February, said the fund’s spokesperson, Matau Molapo. “As at the valuation date the fund meets the minimum funding level, but as the contingency reserves are only partially funded they do not meet its long-term funding objectives,” the valuation said.Christo van Dyk, an independent auditor and fund pensioner, said that if the fund continued as it was its liabilities could equal its assets as early as next year, leaving itself without a buffer.

238. Former Bosasa executive Angelo Agrizzi has calculated that the company received about R2.5bn in revenue annually via various contracts stemming from provincial governments, state departments and the private sector between 2000 and 2016. He says the company forked out about R75m a year on bribes or “gratuities” to secure these contracts. Testifying before the Zondo inquiry into state capture on Thursday, Agrizzi recollected that there were about 38 government officials and politicians on Bosasa’s payroll.

239. The controversy that rocked Bosasa scandal has become more intense after Damning revelations were made. All these is coming after parliament made initial effort to extract the truth, but each time were fed with incomplete information. But right now South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa’s son Andile has admitted that corruption-accused company Bosasa paid him R2m in a business deal he “sincerely regrets”. In an exclusive interview and investigation by News24, Andile Ramaphosa confirmed details which has now lifted the lid on the secretive agreement. However, In December 2017, his company Blue Crane Capital signed an “advisory mandate” with Bosasa, resulting in it being receiving a monthly retainer fee of R150 000, which was later increased to R230 000. “It was a severe oversight on our part,” he said of the glaring red flags he claimed to have missed before putting pen to paper. “It is clear now with the benefit of hindsight that our due diligence was insufficient in retrospect of my father’s role going into the Presidency,” Ramaphosa Jr said in a written response to follow-up questions.

240. Portia (Pankie) Sizani, wife of former ANC chief whip Stone Sizani, was found guilty on 24 fraud and money laundering charges in the Port Elizabeth trade court on March 29 2019.

243. The farms bought by the eThekwini Municipality from Rainbow Chicken two years ago to save and create jobs have been left barren. The city spent R15million on the acquisition of Uitkomst and Doornrug farms in Cato Ridge when Rainbow Chicken, which has since been renamed RCL Foods Limited, announced the sale of their farms due to tough trading conditions.

244. Jacob Zuma helped stash Muammar Gaddafi’s “missing millions” in a bunker at Nkandla, speculation has been rife about whether the former president will have to face any criminal charges going forward. It is alleged that Msholozi accepted $30 million.

245. Free Sate premier Sisi Ntombela responded to a question from the DA that the cost of her provincial reason was R9 371 633.56. Roy Jankielsohn, DA councilor and leader of the official opposition in the Free State legislature, says the total amount amounts to more than R11,67 million, if the R2,3 million contributed by the legislature is included.

246. St John’s Ambulance in East London has been emptied of funds. This was the shocking statement from RMG Forensic Services investigator David Kirstein who said his company had been hired by the Order of St. John’s in January 2018 to look at St John’s’ books . East London woman Anastasia Mariana Parkin, 51, was arrested on Friday by the Hawks for allegedly stealing R4m from the internationally-renowned first aid and health care training organization.

247. The Sunday Times reported that the government is planning to spend R750 million to “spruce up” ministerial houses and other government buildings. According to the report, Public works minister Thulas Nexi revealed the plan, which includes:

R5 million for new carpets for the Union buildings.

for new carpets for the Union buildings. R1 million for alterations to a kitchen and bathroom in a ministerial home.

for alterations to a kitchen and bathroom in a ministerial home. R29 million on gates and a dog house.

Public works was asked for comment regarding the ‘spending spree’, but its spokesperson did not reply by the time of publication.

248. The Hawks are investigating an alleged fraudulent payout of more than R110-million by the Eastern Cape health department. The money, desperately needed by hospitals and clinics, apparently found its way into the pockets of senior ANC officials in the province. Former infrastructure boss at the department, Mlamli Tuswa, says his attempts to raise the alarm about this irregular payment were ignored.

249. With a limited annual budget of about R1,4 billion to support deserving charities around the country – and demand outstripping supply – theNational Lotteries Commission is in the spotlight as Carte Blanche investigates how a R27,5-milion grant to a Pretoria-based drug rehabilitation center was spent. Following allegations that the NPO has little to show for the money invested in its upgrade, we unravel the bookkeeping smoke and mirrors.

250. Members of the Johannesburg Roads Agency’s top management team — including its managing director Goodwill Mbatha — have been placed on suspension after a forensic investigation into tender rigging at the roads agency.

251. Vhavenda King Toni Mphephu Ramabulana, whose kingship is in the balance after a Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) ruling against it, has reiterated his commitment to paying back a “gratuitous payment” of more than R17 million he got from VBS Mutual Bank. Ramabulana, along with 53 shareholders, businesspeople, politicians and traditional leaders are accused of having wrongly benefited from the liquidated VBS Bank. The latter are cited in Reserve Bank Advocate Terry Motau’s report, The Great Bank Heist. The report alleges the now liquidated bank lost nearly R2 billion through fraudulent means, resulting in closing down.

252. Cyril Ramaphosa’s administration will spend nearly R750m to spruce up houses occupied by ministers, and other government-owned buildings. The upgrades, renovations and maintenance – which one analyst described as “frills” – have been criticized as excessive at a time when South Africans are battling price increases across the board. The splurge – which includes R5m on carpets for the Union Buildings in Pretoria,R1m for bathroom and kitchen upgrades to a ministerial house, R29m on a guardhouse and R29m on gates and a doghouse – comes as tax-collection revenue dwindles and credit ratings agencies scrutinize public finances. Public works minister Thulas Nxesi, in a written reply to parliament on Friday, revealed that his department will spend more than R730m from state coffers in the 2019/2020 financial year to spruce up the Union Buildings, houses for MPs and ministers, and their offices within the parliamentary precinct that fall within the government’s “prestige property portfolio”.

253. Umgeni Water broke National Treasury’s rules and awarded a R220 million security tender to an ANC-linked company whose taxes were not in order at the time. In December, Umgeni Water awarded the three-year tender to guard the water utility’s assets to Reshebile Aviation and Protection Services, which at the time owed the SA Revenue Service (Sars) both payroll tax and VAT. Treasury forbids the awarding of tenders to companies which are not tax compliant. Reshebile’s Sars statements for 2017/18, obtained by City Press, reveal that the company owes R2.6 million in payroll taxes and R900 000 in VAT.

254. The explosive testimony of former Bosasa COO Angelo Agrizzi at the state capture inquiry has not only implicated politicians in widespread and orchestrated corruption, it has cost SA’s prominent Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) verification agency its accreditation status. Empowerdex, which assists companies in complying with BEE rules and regulations, has had its accreditation suspended by the South African National Accreditation System (Sanas) – the only national institution responsible for carrying out accreditation of verification agencies. Sanas falls under the Department of Trade and Industry. Empowerdex gets the bulk of BEE rating, verification and advisory work in SA, providing such services to more than 6 000 companies. A Sanas spokesperson confirmed to Moneyweb on Thursday that Empowerdex is under suspension – effective from April 4, 2019 – due to its “failure to comply with some of the accreditation requirements”. It did not disclose the reason for the firm’s suspension, citing confidentiality clauses in the processes through which it accredits firms. However, Empowerdex co-founder Vuyo Jack said the suspension of the company by Sanas is linked to the March 2019 testimony of Agrizzi, who alleged that a former Empowerdex employee received bribes from Bosasa in exchange for dishing out favorable BEE ratings on the company and its subsidiaries. Along with the bribing of prominent politicians and state officials, a favorable BEE rating would help Bosasa win state tenders since government prefers to do business with companies that have strong BEE credentials.

255. The Msunduzi municipality, where KwaZulu-Natal’s capital Pietermaritzburg is located, has been placed under administration following a host of issues, including irregular expenditure, maladministration and absenteeism by councilors. The announcement came on Tuesday morning after Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta) MEC Nomusa Dube-Ncube met with the ailing Msunduzi council. “After a long period of instability and poor results, the people of Pietermaritzburg deserve that we give them a municipality they can be proud of through our hard work and flawless performance,” she said. According to Dube-Ncube, the municipality could not hold its councilors accountable for deliberately absenting themselves from critical meetings. This resulted in a collapsing quorum, which rendered the council dysfunctional. She said unauthorized expenditure, an issue that plagues many municipalities in SA, was also a cause for concern.

256. Eskom is trapped in a “death spiral” as it is borrowing money just to pay off older debts, said energy expert Anton Eberhard at this week’s Eskom briefing. “Something has to give,” he said. Eberhard is a member of Cyril Ramaphosa’s Eskom Sustainability Task Team, which is entirely separate from Eskom’s own technical team, and is focused on the longer-term prospects of the power monopoly. Provisional findings include that Eskom will eventually have to receive some kind of “blended finance” – meaning more non-commercial loans from development lenders.

257. Transnet’s orgy of greed: The rot will finally be exposed as forensic reports show billions of rands’ worth of kickbacks as well as wasteful expenditure by even junior-level staff . They bought luxury BMWs, Jeeps, Mercedes Benzes, and even houses for cash, and were unable to explain how they managed to afford it. These are the accouterments that relatively junior staff at Transnet managed to acquire through the state-owned company, indicating that rampant corruption many not only have been reserved for executives, but extended to lower-level employees who lived beyond their means. This comes as Transnet plans to reinvestigate a slew of graft scandals, where little action was taken by the previous management and board against those implicated in nine forensic reports. In early May, Transnet chairperson Popo Molefe and acting group chief executive Tau Morwe are expected to take the stand at the commission of inquiry into state capture to explain the pervasive corruption at the vital state logistics group, which controls the country’s ports and rail network. With annual revenue of more than R70 billion and vast operational needs, Transnet was a major target of the Gupta-led state capture project as well as other cartels wishing to benefit from lucrative tenders.

258. A company that scored tenders worth millions of rands from state-owned enterprises diverted money meant to fund supplier development programs to ANC deputy secretary-general Jessie Duarte’s family members in return for them assisting it to snatch more state business.

259. Jacob Zuma’s surprise sacking of South Africa’s finance minister at the end of 2015 sparked economic panic: The rand plunged to a record low against the dollar and even the normally steady bond market roiled. But one investment company, a little-known boutique operation, raked in at least 133 million rand (US$9.2 million) by trading on the turmoil. Related deals under investigation may have raised the total profit to as much as 500 million rand (US$32 million) as the country cycled through three finance ministers in just four days. Evidence uncovered by OCCRP shows that the firm in question, Regiments Capital, most likely knew for weeks that respected Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene would be dismissed in December 2015. The firing appeared abrupt to the rest of the world, but not to Eric Wood, then one of Regiments’ three directors. Weeks beforehand, Wood called a meeting with a senior manager at Regiments.

260. eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede is expected to hand herself over to the Hawks and appear in the Durban Commercial Crimes court on Tuesday on a raft of corruption charges. In May last year it emerged that Gumede, a strong ally of former president Jacob Zuma, was being investigated by the Hawks for facilitating money laundering‚ fraud and corruption, allegedly to pay back cronies who helped her political ambitions. The Hawks had launched the investigation into Gumede following a forensic investigation into the awarding of a contract to hire and clean chemical toilets. In December a City Press article reported that a forensic report by Integrity Forensic Solutions named Gumede and Mondli Mthembu‚ a councillor who chairs the human-settlements committee in council‚ and three other officials who allegedly orchestrated a corruption and money laundering “scam” which saw eThekwini pay R25m to hire about 800 chemical toilets for six months.

261. The City of Tshwane is spending at least R60 000 daily on the abandoned R525 million Business Processing Outsourcing park (BPO) inHammanskraal.Launched in 2016 by the then ANC administration, the project promised to create 3000 jobs through on-site training, technical support and incubators for small and medium micro-enterprises.

262. THE North West provincial government has confirmed that the JB Marks municipality has been placed under administration following a decision from the province’s executive committee, News24reports. The JB Marks municipality was formed following a merger of the Tlokwe and Ventersdorp municipalities, which caused protests – one of which saw the Ventersdorp municipal traffic building torched – and was opposed by Ventersdorp residents. The Democratic Alliance (DA) legally opposed the merger in the high court in Pretoria. The municipality has been plagued by corruption allegations which saw it undergo a complete shut down at the end of last year, over issues including its failure to deliver on a N14 development project promised to them since 2006. Before this, it was reported that R45m had been spent on upgrading a sports stadium in the area but only one toilet had been built.

263. Retired Judge Nkola Motata’s gravy train – which paid out nearly R14 million between 2007 and 2016 while he was on special leave – is set to continue while the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) drags its heels on the matter of his impeachment. Motata, 72, is estimated to have earned slightly less than R2.5 million since his retirement in 2017, bringing his total earnings since he ruined the phrase “sober as a judge” in January, 2007 – when he drunkenly reversed his Jaguar through Richard Baird’s wall near Sandton – to more than R16 million. Despite being found guilty of drunken driving in January 2007, retired Judge Nkola Motata has been paid about R16 million of taxpayers’ money.

264. He bought a top-of-the-range Maserati Coupé, four properties for cash in just seven months and received a fat deposit for his posh house paid for by a service provider. These are apparently some of the perks of holding an executive position at Transnet. The details of how Herbert Msagala, the group executive for Transnet Capital Projects, amassed at least R17 million in a year are contained in a forensic report. The report, dated October 2017 and compiled by forensic investigations company Nexus, found that he:

Bought six cars – including a Maserati GranTurismo GT Coupé, a Ford Ranger and a Hyundai H1 – all for cash;

Acquired four properties within seven months – none of which is bonded – for a total of R15.2 million; and

Paid the full purchase price of R7 million for a his property in the exclusive northern Johannesburg enclave of Steyn City in just nine instalments.

265. The South African National Treasury has compiled a series of reports detailing gross expenditure irregularities within the Eastern Cape. These reports have been obtained by City Press, and the information now made public. The Treasury reports rely on information gathered from special audit services conducted between 2011 and 2017. The audits scrutinized expenses related to mobile classrooms, roads and housing in the province. Who stole R1.6 billion from the Eastern Cape? A string of individuals, companies and national government agencies are mentioned in the reports as being involved in the syphoning of government funds. The Independent Development Trust (IDT), SA National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) and the Coega Development Corporation (CDC) are accused of smuggling money out from under the Eastern Cape’s government funding. The Social Housing Regulatory Authority (SHRA), a subsidiary of the national department of human settlements, is especially singled out in the reports. The Treasury found that the SHRA was allocated R341m intended for housing projects in rural and underprivileged communities. Not one single home was built in the Eastern Cape . The IDT and Sanral were both paid in excess of R170 million, funds allocated for work on roads and transport projects. Work that was often canceled, terminated or mismanaged. The IDT could not account for R21.7m. The CDC spent an “excessive” R101m on stones for 23km of road.

266. More than R1m was siphoned from a struggling municipality in the Eastern Cape – and part of the money was then used to renovate the home of ANC provincial chair and premier-designate Oscar Mabuyane. The Mail & Guardian reported this week that R450,000 of the money was transferred to a company that renovated Mabuyane’s home in the suburb of Bunker’s Hill, East London.

267. Leaked messages show how a little-known businessman, Lawrence Mulaudzi, gained an inside track with the PIC and its then-CEO, Dan Matjila, setting his sights on becoming a billionaire with pensioners’ money. The list of deals on the crumpled piece of paper was impressive: Vodacom (R11-billion), Distell (R9-billion), a gas-to-power project in the Eastern Cape (R13-billion). This document was Lawrence Mulaudzi’s deal pipeline, and was slipped to amaBhungane by a source in 2017. Newly-obtained SMSes and WhatsApp messages now show that Mulaudzi confidently expected the Public Investment Corporation (PIC) to fund much of his acquisition trail.

268. A Deputy Minister of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs apparently wasn’t happy with the list of cars that Treasury negotiated bulk discounts on. So he asked Treasury for permission to purchase a Volvo XC90D4, at a cost of R1,118,352 to the public purse. The reason for the request was “National Treasury Transversal Contract RT57-2016/2017 does not cater for prefered [sic] vehicle”. Treasury conditionally approved his request. But he was not alone. Three ministers and a deputy minister, including the above one, applied to Treasury for a deviation when buying new cars in 2017 and 2018 ‘because they did not like the choice of vehicles allowed’. In his most recent budget speech, Minister of Finance, Tito Mboweni, announced spending cuts of R50.3 billion over the next three years.

269. A Bentley Bentayga retailing for about R4‑million and the renovation of a private home are at the center of a battle over who gets to run the Eastern Cape. Whats­App messages, seen by the Mail & Guardian, seem to indicate that the province’s ANC chair and premier candidate, Oscar Mabuyane, is implicated in receiving undue benefits, an allegation he denies. The claims provide insight into the political machinations of a province where Cyril Ramaphosa drew crucial support ahead of the 2017 national elective conference at Nasrec. Mabuyane and party treasurer Babalo Madikizela, seen as allies of Ramaphosa, have been accused of benefiting from payments made to businessman Lonwabo Bam by theMbizana local municipality, but Bam’s plant hire company, Mthombeni Projects, had not done the work for which he was paid.

270. The Office of the Chief Justice (OCJ) spent a large amount of money on travel in the 2017/18 financial year. In recent months Judges Matter and journalist Niren Tolsi have been raising troubling questions about the management of the Office of the Chief Justice. This high travel bill reinforces their concerns. “ We sent questions to Nathi Mncube, spokesperson for the Judiciary, asking him to explain these expenses. To understand the questions, it is helpful to either read Vote 22 of the Budget, a ten-page document, or to look at the following table (page 4 in the linked PDF file, but labelled page 460 because it is part of the larger budget document). The item that stands out in this table is the travel expenditure: R113.6 million in 2017/18. It is on this figure that most of our questions were based. “

271. Eyewitness News has reliably learnt that Fedusa’s general secretary Dennis George has been dismissed following an investigation into allegations of corruption against him. George is alleged to have acquired shares through his company, Difeme Holdings, which received pre-listingAyo Technology shares at R1.50 in comparison to R43 a share that was paid by the Public Investment Corporation. George was suspended from Fedusa in February as the PIC’s R4.3 billion investment in Ayo Technology came under scrutiny at the PIC Inquiry. George, who is a non-executive director of controversial tech company, Ayo, was investigated for a possible conflict of interest in his position as Fedusa general secretary.

272. Despite having capable in-house expertise, Transnet bosses opted to swing the multi-billion-rand cash-raising deal for its 1,064 locomotives to the Gupta-linked financial advisory firms — at a huge cost. Astern and detailed warning from then Transnet treasurer Mathane Makgatho to her bosses — Brian Molefe and Anoj Singh — about the cost implications of a funding plan for the 1,064-locomotive deal would go unheeded, leading to her departure from the parastatal and saddling Transnet with yet another dirty deal. Transnet had embarked on one of the country’s biggest deals since 1994 with the acquisition of 1,064 new locomotives. Tainted from the start, the R54-billion deal was eventually funded largely through a R12-billion club loan from local lenders and another $1.5-billion from the China Development Bank. On Wednesday afternoon, the state-owned freight and logistics company’s acting CEO, Mohammed Mahomedy, revealed how internal warnings around the funding options were disregarded as those in authority opted for the least cost-effective option, thereby swinging hundreds of millions of rands into the coffers of two Gupta-linked companies, Regiments Capital and its offshoot, Trillian Capital Partners. The two companies would be paid close to a quarter of a billion rand for facilitating funding from the Chinese bank and via a club loan involving local lenders, ABSA, Nedbank, Future Growth and a financing unit of Old Mutual.

273. The ANC’s elections chief in the Western Cape, Ebrahim Rasool, has made startling claims against his provincial comrades, suggesting they kept him in the dark regarding a R1m donation from controversial businessman Iqbal Survé. In an interview this week, Rasool said he was led to believe that Survé would be making a food donation to the ANC to assist the party’s election campaign in the province. The ANC announced on Tuesday that it was returning the R1m donation from Survé’s company, Sekunjalo, just 48 hours after receiving it, saying it was inappropriate to accept money from an entity implicated in allegations of plundering the Public Investment Corporation. Rasool said he was shocked to find journalists in attendance at a function where the donation was made. The ANC does not generally invite the media when it receives monetary donations. Rasool said he was given the impression that the ANC would be getting food donations from Survé’s other company, Premier Fishing,not cash.

274. National director of public prosecutions Shamila Batohi has expressed serious concern over the withdrawal of the case against controversial Eastern Cape ANC leader Pumlani Mkolo and 10 others implicated in the Nelson Mandela memorial fraud scandal. National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) national spokesperson Bulelwa Makeke said in a statement on Friday.

275. Global consulting firm McKinsey & Co has repaid Eskom close to R1-billion because it didn’t want tainted money emanating from an off-grid partnership with Gupta-linked Trillian Capital Partners. Now the firm has come under scrutiny at the State Capture Commission over an additional R2.1-billion in deals, this time awarded by Transnet under a system of multiple confinements, essentially making it the sole bidder each time.

276. The SA Municipal Workers Union is broke.It has been looted of R176m since 2012, according to an audit report. In September it had only R538 in the bank, and it may be placed under state administration.

277. A company of a previous secretary of the ANC general secretary Ace Magashule earned more than R100 million over a decade from theMangaung metro television cameras that is malfunctioning and other diverse “ services.”

278. Nelson Mandela Bay municipal officials are abusing the city’s overtime system, with some claiming up to three times their monthly salaries.

The city anticipates overtime costs will balloon to R203m by the end of the financial year.

279. Sa Taxpayers Spent R873‚366.68 For Norma Gigaba To Travel With Her Ex-finance Minister Husband

280. Businessman Kholofelo Maponya’s demand for R45 million in fees for a deal he was already fully funded for led to SA Home Loans (SAHL) CEO Kevin Penwarden requesting to take early retirement. This week. the Public Investment Corporation (PIC) inquiry heard how Maponya demanded that SAHL pay him R45 million in fees for a deal that was already fully funded by the PIC. Maponya is expected to take the stand next week to defend the claims.

281. The troubled Amahlathi municipality is so broke that all 253 workers, 30 councilors and six traditional leaders who are in council, were not paid their May salaries and now face a second month without pay.

282. That there was something rotten in the state of the Public Investment Corporation (PIC), the state-owned asset manager entrusted with looking after the savings of government workers, has been evident for a while. Just when one thought they had heard it all, comes another bombshell. The latest one, revealed by evidence leader Jannie Lubbe, was shocking nonetheless. Most readers would have had that annoying experience of having misplaced documents of various degree of importance. It could be a child’s birth certificate when one is about to travel and remembers this might be the one time that department of home affairs officials at OR Tambo International Airport are awake and are therefore likely to ask for the document. Or maybe it’s the SABC chasing you for that TV license payment you know you’ve made but have no physical record of. But a fund manager responsible for looking after R2-trillion of workers’ savings not being able to find evidence of a R3bn investment?That’s R3,000,000,000 . Even by the standards of the blatant criminality and disregard for corporate governance that’s been exposed in the various commissions, this will take some beating. “We have been requesting information from the PIC, but to date, we have received no documentation or minutes authorising the investment of $270m,” Lubbe told the commission on Monday.

283. Former president of the Black Business Council, Danisa Baloyi and tree co-accused appeared in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court in Johannesburg on Wednesday on charges of fraud and theft, according to the Directorate for Priority Police Investigations. Baloyi’s appearance follows an investigation the Hawks conducted in 2018 into the allegation she arranged for a R5m donation from Airports Company South Africa to be funneled into the bank accounts of businesses owned by the co-accused. The Hawks said the R5m from ACSA was given on the understanding that it was a fund raising donation for a “radical economic transformation campaign”. Baloyi was suspended as BBC president in December 2017.

284. The Hawks raided the offices of Limpopo premier, Stan Mathabatha, and several houses on Friday, confiscating computers and a number of official documents relating to his international trips over the past five years. Three travel agencies, who handled Mathabatha’s international bookings and officials in his office, were also raided. The raid comes after an internal report – which Mathabatha allegedly has been sitting on – lifted the lid on widespread tender rigging, nepotism, collusion and abuse of office, allegedly involving officials in his office. There were challenges of the over escalation of prices, where in certain instances, you have got people buying for 250% of what they get from the primary service provider. “For example, If I want to go to Cuba, these guys, having covered their money for bribes, I would pay about R30,000. But they would bill the office the amount of R240,000. At times they even fabricate quotations of service providers,” said Mavhunga. A senior government official, who asked not to named, said the scam has been going on for years. “I know of an instance where three officials who traveled on the same flights, same class and even stayed at the same hotel, but their invoices were completely different by thousands of rands.” “But payments could be made without questioning the discrepancies, because some of the officials from the premier’s office were also benefiting financially from the scam,” the official said.

285. Former Eskom boss Matshela Koko has again been implicated in instructing a company to sub-contract work on the Kusile power station to a firm he had links with, “as a conduit for his benefit”. The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) is following allegations by global engineering giant ABB that Koko forced it to subcontract work to the Leago Group. Three months ago, the Sunday Times revealed that ABB had told the SIU that Koko had allegedly promised it R6.5bn in contracts with Eskom if it sub-contracted Impulse International. Koko’s stepdaughter, Koketso Choma, was a director at Impulse, which won an R800m contract from ABB. Koko dismissed ABB’s allegations. ABB won a R2.2bn contract with Eskom in 2015 for Kusile. ABB is among 11 international firms the SIU is investigating. Last month ABB ended its contract with Leago. Leago is challenging the decision. According to an e-mail from Leago’s Kevin Moodley, the company has had to retrench 13 engineers as a result of losing the contract. ABB spokesperson Michael Isaac said the Leago contract had been terminated but declined to comment further.

286. Transnet is said to have ignored advice from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) when it signed agreements with locomotive manufacturersBombardier and China North Rail (CNR) in 2014, without stipulating that their manufacturing facilities would be in Durban. This resulted inTransnet’s controversial “relocation” of two manufacturing facilities from Gauteng to Durban at a cost of R1.2bn, which was paid for but not carried out. Testifying at the state capture inquiry on Thursday, Thobani Mnyandu, from MNS Attorneys, which was contracted to investigate allegations of wrongdoing at the state-owned company, said their probe found that Transnet paid for the relocation of manufacturing facilities for Bombardierand CNR at a cost of R618m and R647m respectively. However, “the finding we made was there was no relocation,” Mnyandu said. “We found that there was no relocation for Bombardier or CNR. While there wasn’t a relocation per se, there was a decision communicated to them to be located at a place different to the one they initially thought they would be located at, [according to] the tender negotiations.”

287. Transnet paid Gupta-linked company Regiments Capital a massive 754% more than the R35.2m it had budgeted for transaction advisory services between 2013 and 2015. This is despite the state-owned company having its own expert funding team, which negated the need to hire an external party to do the same work. Jonathan Bloom, an expert in financial risk management who was contracted by MNS Attorneys to assist in their investigation into corruption and irregular expenditure at Transnet, told the state capture inquiry on Friday that the money handed to Regiments was “excessive”. Bloom’s testimony brings to a close a week of testimony from employees at MNS Attorneys who worked on the investigation, which was commissioned by Transnet’s new board in 2018. Part of this investigation focused on the appointment of transaction advisers to assist the company with financing the 1,064 locomotives deal. The job was given to a consortium led by state capture-implicated global consultancy firm McKinsey in July 2012. In its consortium was another company, Letsema, which was a co-bidder for the advisory tender and several other subcontractors, including Barloworld. By August that year, Transnet raised a conflict of interest between Letsema andBarloworld, and recommended that Letsema be replaced. The company which took its place: Regiments Capital. Regiments would then go on to replace other subcontractors in the consortium until eventually, on February 5 2014, McKinsey controversially ceded its rights and responsibilities on the deal to Regiments. The spending on these advisory services was capped at R35.2m. What that money paid for was advice on howTransnet should finance its purchase of 1,064 locomotives – a deal which would eventually cost the company more than R50bn. Initially, Transnetentered into two loan agreements to pay for the trains: the first with the Chinese Development Bank for about $1.5bn and another, referred to as a “club loan” between a syndicate of lenders, for about $1bn. By July 2015, Regiments was paid R265.5m (excluding VAT) for about two years of work for Transnet advising on these transactions.

288. Previouly – Sizani, wife of SA ambassador to Germany Stone Sizani, faces 16 counts of fraud and 10 counts of money laundering. It is alleged that between 2009 and 2010, Sizani created “ghost” teachers and took their salaries, amounting to R1.2m. As co-ordinator, she was in charge of appointing grade R teachers at Eastern Cape schools. The Equal Education NGO, which has been following the case, said she is accused of allegedly obtaining the personal details of teachers, applying for posts on their behalf and falsifying the principal’s signature of approval. Once the money was paid by the department into the teachers’ accounts, Sizani would allegedly inform them that a mistake had been made and that the money should be paid back to her. She denies this.

289. Former Transnet group treasurer Mathane Makgatho on Friday told the state capture inquiry that it was an “open secret” that there was a lot of money moving around in the state-owned company’s head office during the processing of the controversial locomotives tender, which was riddled with fraud and corruption. Makgatho testified for a second day on Friday at the commission which has shifted its focus to Transnet. She claimed the car boots of certain officials were known to be filled with cash. She detailed the company’s interactions with the China Development Bank over funding terms for the loan that financed the locomotives deal. On Thursday, she explained how she prevented R750 million from being stolen from the parastatal. She further stated that she prevented former CFO Anoj Singh from effecting R5 billion loan from Nedbank through Gupta-linked company Regiments Capital.

290. ETHEKWINI’s embattled mayor, Zandile Gumede, who is facing charges of fraud and corruption, will be asked to take a 30-day leave of absence. THE KZN ANC provincial chair, Sihle Zikalala said the Provincial Executive Meeting held in Empangeni this weekend had considered various issues facing the movement that threatened the integrity of the ANC in KwaZulu-Natal.He said the PEC had taken the view to act decisively on corruption, ill discipline and any element of bad practice. Gumede, who also serves as chairperson of the ANC in the eThekwiniregion and other senior municipal officials allegedly defrauded the city of millions of rands in a waste removal tender.

291. The Special Investigating Unit is probing 11 contractors for stealing a staggering R139bn during the building of Eskom’s Medupi, Kusile and Ingula power plants. And insiders say the total cost of Eskom looting could reach about R500bn, dating back to 2005. SIU spokesperson Nazreen Pandor said the unit was probing the theft of R170bn from Eskom — R139bn of which is directly related to contractors working on the power plants. She said that after an “intensive scoping exercise” the unit had prioritized, among other things, investigating “the performance of, and payment made to the value of more than R139bn to 11 identified contractors appointed by Eskom in respect of the Medupi, Kusile and/or Ingula station”.

292: One of South Africa’s biggest unions was used as a conduit to launder about R65 million in pensions allegedly plundered from impoverished orphans of deceased mine workers. City Press can today reveal that Bongani Mhlanga, the ‘erstwhile’ owner of financial services group Mvunonala, allegedly used the SA Transport and Allied Workers’ Union (Satawu) as a conduit to move pension funds into his family’s trust and a company owned by him.

293: The South African Football Association (Safa) has been accused of falsifying its 2018 financial statements to reflect a rosy bank balance – when it has a deficit of R100m. Several sources close to Safa told the Sunday Times that the football governing body inserted an amount of $10m (R148m) as money in the bank, when this amount refers to a ‘donation‘ made by Safa during the 2010 Fifa World Cup, which Safa claims the sports, arts & culture department undertook to repay but hasn’t.

294: The SABC’s dire financial straits forced it into a stark choice at the end of May – pay staff salaries or its municipal accounts. It opted for salaries, and now owes the City of Johannesburg more than R13.5m. But the broadcaster may only have delayed the inevitable. “I’m not sure how we are going to pay for salaries come end of June,” SABC board chair Bongumusa Makhathini told the Sunday Times this week. “We have also not maintained any of our infrastructure and a communication blackout is imminent. We anticipated Day Zero in March, but we have managed to stay on air until now.” The broadcaster also owes Sentech – a state-owned business that provides broadcasting signal distribution – about R317m,and the MultiChoice division SuperSport R208m.

295: In her resignation letter on Tuesday, former Social Development Minister, Bathabile Dlamini, claimed that she was aware of ‘wives of ANC members’ who were allegedly involved in dubious relationships with Cash Paymaster Services (CPS). In the letter she stated that “[those] that made profit through CPS by their wives are known but because they are respected by the organisation nothing is being said to them.”

296: Out of desperation while on a pilgrimage in France, former SAA treasurer Cynthia Stimpel fired off a text message to officials at National Treasury, warning them of a dirty deal in the making. It was ignored. They had stalled and blocked her at every turn, but former SAA treasurer Cynthia Stimpel was relentless in her efforts to stop a R15-billion cash- raising deal from being pulled off outside of due process – and with the help of a transaction adviser for R300-million – while South African banks could do it cheaper. The national carrier was embroiled in a massive scandal around this deal in 2016, and on Thursday 13 June 2019 the State Capture Commission heard how Stimpel, during a walking pilgrimage in France over Easter that year, got word from a colleague that BnP Capital, initially recommended as a transaction adviser at a fee of R2.6-million for the deal, would now also be sourcing the loan for SAA.

297: Neither the Neotel board nor the company’s lawyers, Norton Rose, neither its chief financial officer nor its chief executive, were able to explain to auditors Deloitte South Africa what exactly the Gupta-linked letterbox company, Homix, had done to rake in a R36-million ‘success fee’ on the back of a Transnet deal.

298: Public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane has confirmed in a letter to DA leader Mmusi Maimane that Cyril Ramaphosa is implicated in her investigation into the R500,000 donation he received from Bosasa CEO Gavin Watson. In the letter she tells Maimane, who asked her to investigate whether Ramaphosa deliberately lied to parliament about that donation, that the public protector confirms she served the president with a section 7(9 )notice on May 30.

299. The net is closing in on more politicians and officials in municipalities across the country as the Hawks intensify their investigations into graftand maladministration, according to Hawks head Lieutenant General Godfrey Lebeya. The Hawks’ National Clean Audit Task Team (NCATT)has, since last month, arrested 14 politicians, officials and business-people in KwaZulu-Natal and the Free State on corruption-related charges. The biggest name caught in the dragnet was eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede – more than three weeks ago – and Lebeya says they will soon be “visiting” several other municipalities across South Africa. Although he would not reveal those being targeted for arrest, Lebeya told City Pressthat the municipalities in the Hawks’ sights should have “received some visits a long time ago”. “It is just a matter of time. When we feel that we are ready to proceed we can then decide on which municipality to visit first based on the progress with our investigations,” he said.

300. The civil trial involving the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) and Minenhle Makhanya, the architect of the infamous Nkandla upgrades, has been postponed. The SIU went to court in 2014 seeking an order setting aside Makhanya’s appointment as principal agent and architect of the Nkandla project and damages of R155m, the SIU said in a statement on Tuesday.

301. Former SAA interim chief financial officer Phumeza Nhantsi was put under enormous pressure to sign off on a huge payout to BNP Capital.When she resisted, her role as a ‘team player’ was brought into question. Just 48 hours into the job as interim CFO at SAA, Phumeza Nhantsi was handed a number for Dudu Myeni’s “personal adviser”, Masotsha Mngadi, then a senior Nedbank employee. “Immediately when I joined, Dudu Myeni gave me his number and said he was an adviser and that if there were any questions, I should speak to him. “This was about two days after I joined.” Mngadi would make contact first. Later, he would actively drive a controversial R15-billion deal involving BNP Capital, a company that allegedly had close ties to Myeni.

302. A disgruntled businesswoman allegedly taped a meeting with an SA Express boss in which he claimed that the then ministers were to be paid bribes of R20,000 each. The State Capture Commission has heard testimony about an audio recording that implicates former Cabinet ministers, Lynne Brown and Dipuo Peters as the alleged recipients of bribes relating to a R400-million contract between SA Express (SAX) and the North West government. The recording allegedly also names former North West premier Supra Mahumapelo, as well as the airline’s former CEO Inathi Ntshanga. These startling claims were made by SAX security manager Timothy Ngwenya, who told the Commission he was given the recording by a disgruntled businesswoman after her company was shafted in the deal. Ngwenya said that in May 2016 he received a call from Babadi Tlatsana, the owner of Koreneka Trading and Projects, which held a contract for ground handling at two airports in the province, at Mahikeng and Pilanesberg. He met with her the next day, and she handed him documents and several audio recordings, one of which revolved around a meeting she had with the previous SAX commercial manager, Brian van Wyk. The recording in which Brown, Peters and the others are named, appears to match some names that Van Wyk had allegedly scribbled on a piece of paper when he detailed the amounts payable to the various individuals.

303. A total of R400 000 of money looted from the North West government is alleged to have been used to pay for the African National Congress’ 104-year celebrations. Koroneka Trading and Projects’ Director Babadi Tlatsana has told the State Capture Commission she got to a point where she had enough of her business account being used for money transactions between SA Express and the North West Department of Transport that she did not understand – or receive invoice for. She later had a meeting with SA Express General Manager Brian van Wyk who was desperate to have a discussion on how she can release the last R20-million that had entered Koroneka’s account. In a tape recording, Van Wyk wanted Tlatsana to release the money so they could pay back R400 000 for 150 reflector jackets they had bought for the ANC 104-years celebration. The commission heard the recordings on Saturday: “So he said he had paid R400 000. That is the amount of money they had spent in connection with ANC 104-year celebrations. Yes chair. (Zondo) was he talking about money that had been taken out of the account of your closed corporation for that purpose? He was telling me to pay back this money; this money was to be paid back to him.” Tlatsana has told the State Capture Commission that she became concerned, and confused when no one could explain why millions of rand was going through her business account.

304. ETHEKWINI Municipality was being held to ransom by bus operator Tansnat, opposition parties said this week. This followed the revelation that the city is owed more than R300 million by the operator, a debt that is unlikely to be recovered. The city has since gone the legal route to have the debt serviced, but the operator is fighting back. Tansnat was appointed as the substitute operator to Remant Alton, the previous operator, with the conclusion of a vehicle lease agreement and an operating service contract. Tansnat‚ which has a fleet of 450 buses‚ is headed by Jacob Zuma’s nephew Mandla Gcaba. According to a report tabled at the municipality’s Executive Committee (Exco) meeting on Tuesday, the takeover agreement was concluded in March 2014. In terms of the agreement, the debt was agreed to and a cession was put in place to fund the outstanding debt to the city. The outstanding debt has been recorded in the Section 71 Budget Comparative Statement on a monthly basis. Tansnat’s debt to the city as at March31, 2019, is R371956326. In an attempt to recover the debt, a liquidation application was made.

305. Two of the poorest municipalities in the Karoo have managed to rack up irregular expenditure close to R100 million. Auditor-General Kimi Makwetu has released his report into municipal finances which pointed to a dire state of affairs at most of the nation’s local councils. Politicians, however, are arguing that irregular expenditure does not necessarily equate to corruption. The Beaufort West Municipality managed to squanderR52 million in irregular expenditure. Irregular expenditure referred to money that was not spent in the manner prescribed by law. The municipality, considered to be the crown jewel of the Central Karoo, is the most developed town in the region. Crime, poverty and homelessness are however a major problem in the town center. But added to their woes is the R20 million in unauthorized expenditure.

BARCLAYS PLC, BBA (UK), UK SECURITIES COMMISSION, BANK OF. ENGLAND, US SECURITIES COMMISION, INTERNATIONAL. ORGERNIZATION OF SECURITIES COMMISSION (IOSCO), BANK OF INTERNATIONAL SETTLEMENTS (BIS) G20.

In the best interest of the country as the official complaint with these international institutions I put the complain on hold and asked the President Hon JG Zuma to intervene & resolve this matter in the amicable manner that does not sabotage or destroy our economy. Obviously certain people must take the fall for they role in this crime, that refers mainly to finance Ministry/Treasury & SARB.

This is what this political plots & attempt for regime/leadership change is all about. Our President is being targeted for doing the right thing in the best interest of this country. Our President is going no where till this matter is resolve! We are no longer going to be threaten by Junk Status & Market reaction or fluctuation of the rand value, that’s nothing but financial politic. We have been on junk status since the political takeover, whereby we inherited a bankrupt country from the apartheid regime & whereby they further imposed us with a huge liability of their looting. My response to our Richest Man in the country Sir Johan Rupert is as Follows: #Thepropaganda you play of being a victim and accusing the Gupta of being after you is a sick & stupid joke!

The propaganda of your claims that your Empires are loosing money is equally sick & stupid game. #Your denial of having an influence on the media houses of which you are a shareholder & what they publish is the sickest joke and an insult of our intelligent, if that was not the case you would have long time intervened especially in the vicious attempt to protect Pravin Gordhan and his captured dept Treasury. #You correctly stated that you do not do business with the“ State” you justified that to exonerate yourself from any allegation of state capture, let me tell you something without fear or favor. You and the Oppenheimers are the Master of State Capture of our Democracy whereby our Treasury was capture! In An Act of financial/Economic Terrorism, which was done Warfare Style to destabilize and weaken our, security clusters & Prosecuting Authorities including our judiciary system all done to retain the Economy Control After it became clear that you were loosing the Political Control in the Codesa negotiation. I am talking about Project “Grapevine” which later changed the Project Spiderweb initiated by Roelf Meyer & Prof Nel being operated & continue to be from your varsity. You and the Oppenheimers were the funders thereof.

After Mbeki, Trevor, Mboweni allowed Anglo American to de register as a S.A. Company you then became the Sole finder of Spiderweb Operation, your captured puppets are, Trevor Manual, Maria Ramos. Code names(King & Queen of Leaves) they in return got Tito Mboweni & Gill Marcuscaptured and became cooperative to the Spiderweb, Currently Pravin Gordhan & Mcebisi Jonas are the protectors of your Spiderweb operation, we tried to break this web by referring the investigation to the Public Protector Adv Thuli Madonsela, to investigate you and your company, she decided to wash done the complain and exclude you, then suddenly you offered her a job!

What does that entails? It that a reward for a job well done? Lastly I want to make a plea to you, do the right thing for the sake of our children’s: “PAY BACK THE BILLIONS YOU AND COMPANY. BENEFITED FROM THIS ABOVE MENTIONED CRIME.”

Do it now while there is a chance of saving your empires, all your puppets are going to jail! We the public of this country are calling for the immediate removal of Pravin Gordhan & Mcebisi Jonas out of finance ministry we can not have people with double standards in this most important organ of our democracy, we are no longer going to be held at Ransom by threats of junk status, market crashes, to hell with that.

Lastly the money stolen in the above matter is being used as foreign currency Buffer Capital/reserves by SARB its in a dormant account antrcode 00004444 held at UBS Switzerland. And the Federal Reserve – a private registered company– has been foreclosed since 25 December 2013– but it still operates as the controller of South Africa’s economy although technically it does not exist! How do you get that right? We want that money brought back to the country to boost our economy as agreed by the owners of the money the Surtie family from Lesotho. Otherwise you all going down with your billions. Who am I am a forensic investigator, who investigate banks, ask your Partners Rothchild, I was part that busted HSBC for theft/money laundering of Moneys from dormant accounts to treasury, then smuggling money out with bank instruments (Drafts). That matter was reported to CIA & FBI Jeff Koorbanally CGMA/CIMA (Britain).THIS IS REAL STATE CAPTURE AND CORPORATE CAPTURE IN SA SINCE LONG IN SA.

The ANC greedy predators now gearing up to ravage your pension funds too:

The greed and banality of the ANC wolves are in one one word- mind boggling. Already they have raped and ravaged the state coffers empty- now they are shifting their cross-hairs to private institutions- and first on their menu is your pension funds.

Newly appointed minister or Trade and Industry Ebrahim Patel sugar-coated their planned theft of your pension funds by saying yesterday that pension funds ‘have a“role to play ” in the development of South Africa through “investment in real assets”. His comments come after the African National Corruption (ANC) made a commitment earlier this year to investigate introducing ‘prescribed assets’ or a program that would force pension funds to invest some of their holdings in government-approved projects. Now we all know how prosperous ANC ventures such as Esko
