It is just a matter of time before Zuma has left, but when do we see him in bracelets?

It is just a matter of time now! Before we see the end of the Presidency of Jacob Zuma, the man who brought down Thabo Mbeki. He himself, who was fired by Mbeki, used that and his alliances with the Unions to force Mbeki from the Presidency. Those we’re the days, it seems like decades ago, but it isn’t longer back than 2008. Later in 2009 when the first term of Zuma begun after the elections. So now, the African National Congress (ANC) are turning on him, the way it turned on Mbeki.

It is not as if Zuma has been in sheltered universe and the rest have been oblivious, however, the recent acts has occurred as the power has shifted from him to Cyril Ramaphosa. That is natural, as the same happen when the former Deputy Zuma came into power as well. He should have known this, since them at one point called Mbeki a “lame duck”. That is not an admiration, but a denying of the powers that Mbeki used to have. The same sort of thing, the interview and public display shown by Zuma.

Zuma is stuck and righteously so, if the Parliament is dissolved after the motion filled by Democratic Alliance (DA) or the No Confidence vote by Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF). That is the world to know; also, the ANC has tabled a No Confidence vote, so tomorrow, we might see a push and the gates closing for Zuma. He has enough blood and enough wounds created over the years of looting and corrupt behaviour. His business and perceptive use of family to interfere in State Owned Enterprises is really hurting the economy. Therefore, it is not as if his legacy is smashing. The Gupta’s and Zuma’s are so connected that it is not even a con, but an open-air bazaar of festive eating of the government plate.

There been revelations by Whistle-blower’s all over the map and in any sort of institutions from Eskom to Ministry of Agriculture, that the state has misused funds and secure profits for Gupta based companies. While Zuma’s family and close associates has eaten of the plate and dined on the bill of the same companies. It has been a favourable trade and the Zuma has gotten a lavish house in Dubai and in Nkandla. They have rigged bank accounts and used public tenders to whatever to gain kickbacks; even changed Financial Minister is to suit the Gupta’s. Everything has been for sale; therefore, the legacy of the President is just corruption and more corruption.

However, the ANC and the ruling regime let him stifle the courts, stop the reports of corruption, they tried to keep secret and silence the audits. They did whatever they could to stop it and reveal the ill-gotten gains. Even if the State Capture happen, the Police and the Investigation units was stopped, the Courts wasn’t respected either, neither following the Constitution to prosecute or indict. What Zuma should expect and the Gupta’s, are the bracelets! They should expect to spend time and pay fines. Maybe even foreclosure and declare bankruptcies. Because of the lack of back pay. This sort of thieving should hurt and especially this level of crimes done in broad daylight over years.

So now, it is his turn to feel the punishment and the whole is the stage. The tide has turned and now it is against him. The evidence and the cases is built up against him. If he will turn other people in and fellow loyal ministers, members of parliament and business associates, it is hard to know. Nevertheless, he did not do the crime in a vacuum. He did it on his accord and within his resource. However, ANC was in on it and accepted it for so many years. They defended it too, until the end.

Therefore, we will see how this goes, but Zuma will cry and shout. He will not go softly, since he loses power and lose favours. He was not prepared to step down and lose the Executive Branch, which now is fading away. Peace.

The ballad of Cyril!

Right now the African National Congress (ANC) is singing the tune of a future president in Cyril Ramaphosa, the current Vice-President. Who became the President of ANC on the 18th December of 2017. Therefore, ANC they didn’t elect Nkoszana Dlamini-Zuma and gave enough votes for Ramaphosa. Whose been a part of the ANC for ages and finally brought the ANC Party to a standstill. Last time this happen when Jacob Zuma countered Thabo Mbeki.

So when Jacob Zuma became Party President on the 18th December 2007. He beat Thabo Mbeki and was destined for the top position and be the Republic’s President too. Zuma used his support within Trade-Unions and Youth-League to outsmart Mbeki. He stepped down after allegations in 2008 and clearly making ready for Zuma to run for Presidency in 2009. Before that he was fired for Corruption scandals, but Zuma rose about that and he took down the one man who fired him.

We are now in 2018, but we are similar stage in the history. Now we await and see if Jacob Zuma will react with swift force or put any sort of play into action. As the State Capture and other Corruption scandals are ruining the credibility of the ANC. ANC has had the ability to change its course, but instead has rotten its roots in corruption and misuse of state funds for personal gains. This has been sanctioned by a President who has acted as if he is above the law. Now the new ANC President Ramaphosa can create new issues as he is preparing for the 2019.

If 2019 ANC wants to be taken serious, they got to get the State Capure, the Gupta’s and the whole of government misuse of State Owned Enterprises (SOE) for personal gains of both ANC leadership and the owners of public businesses. This being with tenders and with the kick-backs, the hiring of cronies and the over-price of commodities. Therefore, this isn’t just Zuma’s family and the Gupta’s Businesses. Therefore, as the years has gone by, the Zuma administration and their cronies has eaten on the roots. It has been visible, but the state has also used all sort of tricks to stall investigations of it.

It is just early 2018, where Zuma is losing ground, the State Capture Commission has been enforced and the other cases are running. There is more public outcry against tenders and SoE’s agreements with public companies. All of this has been used as tools for earning private fortunes on the public monopolies. Zuma knows this and all of ANC knows it too. Therefore, Ramaphosa has hands dirty in the midst of this. But now if he wants to be taken serious. He has to do what Zuma did to Mbeki.

While Mbeki had smaller fish to fry and went more narrow in actions of a fraudulent arms-deal. He went and axed Zuma rightfully for his misbehavior. However, Zuma would accept to lose. So he came back and took the place of Mbeki. Now after that he determine to eat even more himself with scruples. That is what he has done since taking power. Now the wheels of fortune is going against him.

The ANC is losing ground on the State Capture and Nkandla Village Project, every single Estina and other scandals will just further the outcries of the resignation of Zuma. His name isn’t really ringing bell of justice and honor. Zuma has conducted himself in manners of graft and kick-backs. He has accepted others done the same, its been their hour and they didn’t want to waste a single minute.

Now, people wonder when Ramaphosa will rise above Zuma. When Ramaphosa will do the same as Zuma, step out of the shadow of the former-President and excel him. Ramaphosa has no a waiting game, but there are enough scandals for him to use against Zuma. Even if Zuma himself isn’t indicted or impeached yet. However, Zuma has enough cases waiting him and there is enough allegations to question his place as a President. That is well-known.

We just have to wait when Ramaphosa will do like Zuma did to Mbeki. We just have to wait and see, when Zuma will fall like Mbeki. Ramaphosa will do his bidding when the time is right. He has been eyeing this position for so long. Cyril will find the moment when Zuma is the weakest. When the ANC-NEC understand there is no return and when the ANC Party has the most to gain to get rid of Zuma.

That is when Ramaphosa will strike, because he is awaiting the moment of justification. Even if the public and people know that Zuma is corrupt. If it doesn’t happen the right way. Then he might be implicated himself and his own part of ANC has to pay. Not only the nearest cronies around Zuma. That is what is worrying Cyril. Still, he will await the perfect strategy, the narrative that is needed so he can start to run as a Presidential Candidate in 2019. Peace.

It’s finally formed a Commission to investigate into the ‘State of Capture’ Report!

It is now formed a commission to look into the ‘State Capture’ Report, which entails the allegations of fraud, corruption and of crimes done against the Republic of South Africa. This has been done by the President Jacob Zuma, his family and associates combined with business operations run by the investor family of Gupta’s. The stories and allegations has been running in the recent years, and more and more of the allegations has been verified. The close connected businesses and operations of the state, the tenders and state reserves used to boost businesses run by the family. All of this is now further investigated after dozens of trials and other legal remedies.

The Commission, which was signed in and enacted on the 23rd January 2018 is to be headed by Justice Raymond Mnyamezeli Mlungisi Zondo. This Commission is finally coming after the final verdict in December 2017:

“The Commission shall inquire into, make findings, report on and make recommendations concerning the following, guided by the Public Protector’s state of capture report, the Constitution, relevant legislation, policies, and guidelines, as well as the order of the North Gauteng High Court of 14 December 2017 under case number 91139/2016” (STAATSKOERANT, 25 JANUARIE 2018).

I never anticipated that this would happen, because Zuma and his associates have tried to stall the inquires and all sort of serious investigations, they have used all sort tricks to silence and stop finding problematic relations between Oakbay and other businesses owned by Gupta family in South Africa. They have tried to stall the previous Public Protector and the Report itself. Just like the Eskom report from Dentons was archived for years before it was published. Clearly, the transparency and the lack of oversight, by the control of the Zuma administration has been evident in the cases concerning Gupta and their pay-offs, kickbacks and hiring of family members of the President.

This investigation of the Commission will look into the mysterious firing and the hiring of Finance Ministers, the period of three Finance Ministers within short time and if the Gupta associates had anything in connection with this sort of weird acts from the Zuma Presidency. It will also look into the tenders of State Owned Enterprises (SOE) and if they have been given on basis of best offerings and after lawful practice, or if they have been given on basis of envelopes between the Zuma and Gupta’s. It will also look into the possible control of the New Age Newspaper and their advertisements, if this has swayed opinions or if the government sponsored has changed dynamics. If the appointments of certain individuals to National Treasury, the same fellow who was shortly appointed to Finance Minister Des Van Rooyen. All of these acts and if the Gupta’s had a say in the changes in policy and businesses. If the family could connect and pay-off government officials, to change the cabinet and also the tenders benefiting their new industry and operations.

So the basis of the Public Protectors report ‘State of Capture’ will now be further investigated and the prosecution of it can happen at a later stage. The mere heresay, will now be discussed, the people involved will be interviewed and also possibly indicted if the Justice Zondo sees it fit. The evidence will be collected and the cases will be built by the Commission, which will report within 180 days, the truth is that the allegations will now be put in print. The allegations and the corrupt behavior that has been will be investigated further. Not only unleashed in the papers and the receipts as well. The Gupta Family businesses and their holding companies, will be questioned, as well as the communications between them and the Zuma administration. How many of the Zuma family hired by Gupta’s and how many who has traveled on Gupta’s tab. That will be unfolded. Just like it has, but in system and with vigor, hopefully, since this kind of activity has tarnished the Zuma Presidency, together with abysmal village project at Nkandla.

Zuma will be in deep water, he is already trying to walk on it like Jesus. But he isn’t Jesus, he is just a man, he will drown if he tries. There is enough proof of a conspiracy and enough smaller evidence of fraud and corruption between the state and the Gupta’s. It’s not just Mmusi Maimane and Julius Malema, who is crazy crying out loud in public, its real.

The Commission will prove it, if they start digging and use the allegations and build on the proofs from the Public Protector. The signs of the conspiracy and the possibly pay-off to the Zuma family is there. The use of the state and misuse of it for personal gain, is all there. Peace.

Gupta Based Estina Company was bleeding the Free State Province of R220m in a fictitious farming project!

On the 18th January the Gupta family and Oakbay Investment Group was charged in the Free State Division and in Bloemfontein. This time for forfeiture of state grants in a agriculture scheme. This after affidavits and trials over a case was showing how the companies of the Gupta family was bleeding the state out of millions of Rands. This was a case where the Gupta used their connections with the Free State and their operatives to be able to forge projects to get state funds.

That the Company made by the Gupta and Oakbay called Estina started a Free State Diary Project. The projected funds and supposed research newer came into effect. There were any bidding on the state funds that was given to the studies made by Estina. The millions of rands was given by the state to the operations between April 2013 and May 2016. This was in total of R220,202,652.00. These payments went to different accounts and various partners of Estina. These funds didn’t got to Estina, but to various companies all over the globe and accounts. Nothing went to what they we’re intended to by Department of Agriculture in the Free State Division. The funds to went to various entities, but not the diary project or the business of the farm as it was intended.

The Estina Company was supposed to have functions of a diary project at the Vrede Diary Farm. This was never made, the money was just fueled from the Estina and into various accounts. The whole was supposed to be a part of the revitalizing the agriculture in the province, as the Mohoma Mobung Strategy. Therefore, the Free State started subsidizing the diary project in the Vrede Area and in the Phumulela local municipality. That is why the state made the Vrede Diary Project as a prestige project. Which was supposed to generate job creation in the area. Therefore, without following procedure and lawful codes, the Free State made an MoU with the Estina Company. It was Free State’s own HoD Peter Thabathe Mbana who wanted this to be the Free State flagship in March 2012. A year before the first payment to the Estina Company. The establishment of the grounds for these transactions and company cannot be proven, even as civil servant cannot prove the connection between Indian Company Para’s and Estina. Even, if he claimed so in his affidavit.

While the Estina company has strange change of types of business as it was in connection with Sahara Computers and run by well-known man in Gupta enterprises Kamal Vasram. The Company was first incorporated in 2008 and registered in Sunninghill, Johannesburg. By October 2012, it went from Computers to Agriculture and related activity. Then, also registered in Sandton, Johannesburg. After resigning in July 2015. The new Director ran the company to ground and was liquidated in May 2017 with assets in the levels of R34,200. So the Company had been run like a mill by the steady grants given by the Free State, while the business was “booming”.

Because of reluctance of Thabathe to give documentations of both the direct transactions, the evidence of needing these funding and tenders supposed to be public. The transparency of the project and way the grants was given. The National Treasure and the PPP we’re threaten when trying to force documentation of the business between the Department and Estina. That there are no proof of the needed supply chain between the parties, shows that money was ghosted when it left the Free State Account into the Gupta owned business.

There was also a 99 year Free Lease of the land in Farm Krynaauws Lust 275 district Vrede, Free State Province. The measure of the farm was 4439,5122 hectars of land. That the Free State signed over to the Estina company, because of the flagship program and diary project that was granted them.

Clearly, if you cannot read between the line, this was all a forged company and playful agriculture, with very little milk and cows. More of spoiling the grants and funds to other accounts. Spilling the government sanctioned funds into private accounts all around the world. It ended on accounts in Iceland, Dubai and India, also in various accounts in South Africa.

That the Gupta and Oakbay had no issues with forfeiting 220 million Rands and also capturing a giant farm in Free State Province. Proves how careless and reckless they have been. We already know about their giant deals with Eskom and in other government grants. This is yet another one. That has ordered in courts, where the Ministry of Work has ceased the farm and the different accounts has to deliver and refund the Province with the misused fortunes gained on Diary Project that never really existed. As the procurement, tenders and the whole operation was sham from the get-go. Which lasted from 2012-2016. That led to the demise of the Corporation in 2017.

This is yet another proof of the their state capture and what the Zuma Administration has accepted during his tenure from the Gupta based companies. As they have been bleeding the Free State out of funds in this instance, as they have done in other sectors and with other businesses all around South Africa in the recent decade. Peace.
