When your thinking that the President Jacob Zuma had enough excuses and had enough soliciting problems, there just keep coming. Because him and the ANC elite is clearly forgetting their purpose and their place. They are supposed to represent the people of South Africa, instead the Presidency and the African National Congress is more preoccupied with getting financial benefits from the Investors of the Oakbay Resources and Oakbay Investments. As they are splashing out with huge kickbacks to the President and his family, as the further leaks provides more eating of the Zuma clan. The Gupta owned companies has already hired family members of Zuma. Also, it has been provide evidence of state capture, where the monies of Gupta has made it possible to change Financial Ministers, because the Gupta’s wanted it to be so. Therefore, the newest leaks are just providing evidence of the loyalty between the Zuma and Gupta clan. As they are providing the President with a mansion in Dubai. So, the Nkandla affair and the fire-pool seems small, as the gifts and kickbacks with the state-contracts seems to benefit the South African President massively! Take a look!
Zuma’s Dubai Palace:
“Zuma’s home is Villa L35 on Lailak Street in Emirates Hills, billed as the “most expensive postal code” in a city so flashy that the police drive Bugattis. The palatial home comes complete with 10 bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, a double grand staircase, nine reception rooms and space for 11 cars. The top-of-the-range fittings feature an excess of marble, mosaic and gold” (…) “The purchase was made after Tony had made an appointment with Gregory Lewis from Knight Frank estate agency to view the place at 1pm on April 14 2015. Shortly after buying the villa, Tony’s elder brother, Atul, entered into an agreement with Yang Swiss Cleaning Services to clean the house for 8,320 dirham, about R30,000, a month, starting on December 20 2015” (…) “ome of the more established locals have a sardonic view of the constant stream of new arrivals. “You need $20-million to $30-million to buy a property here,” commented one resident sitting on a park bench feeding scraps to a swarm of cats. “Maybe you brought along some dirty money you want to wash?” (Wa Mzilikazi & Hofstatter, 2017).
As the allegation and covering-up comes to light, the President Zuma has to deny:
“The story in the Sunday Times newspaper today, 4 June 2017, that President Jacob Zuma owns a “palace” in Dubai is a fabrication. President Zuma does not own any property outside South Africa and has not requested anybody to buy property for him abroad. The President has also not received or seen the reported emails and has no knowledge of them” (The Presidency, 2017).
On the same day another news-outlet in South Africa comes with some damaging report that proves the state involvement and helping of enriching the Gupta clan. The benefactor of the President. Like the reasons for the flash houses and cars of the President. He wouldn’t get that if he didn’t do some services or clear the house so that the businesses could run rampant. Buy expensive coal from the Gupta over the margins and also higher price for the quality. That is because the state owned Eskom has a director that is loyal to Zuma and wants to make Zuma’s friendly associates happy. Therefore, buying bad coal for high price. Who could forget that transaction together with the Nkandla scandal! There to many evidence and stories of grand corruption during his tenure.
“Johannesburg – The beleaguered Gupta family received much-needed relief this week in the form of a R70 million value-added tax (VAT) refund payment that raised serious eyebrows and concern in the South African Revenue Service (SARS)” (…) “At this point Moyane allegedly intervened and secured the payment to the Guptas. According to sources the refund was made begrudgingly by SARS staff and left tax employees feeling despondent and angry. News24 and City Press was given a name of an unknown private company into which the VAT refund payment was finally made, but couldn’t confirm the veracity of the claim. The Gupta family and their businesses are handled by the VIP taxpayer unit within SARS. This unit is intended for politicians, political parties, past and former senior government officials and their families and certain top business people considered strategic” (Serrao, 2017).
So the Gupta family, the benefactors who has businesses who are getting favorable industry contracts and government tenders, are suddenly also getting a VAT tax-holiday the SARS director Tom Moyane has to sanction on the part of the state to the Gupta. It seems like a bad-dream, but not surprising in the state of capture. Where the Gupta are giving Zuma a few tokens of silver and he gives them back in ten-folds of the state reserves. That is how the relationship of the businessmen and Zuma are working and has worked. If not, the corrupt, grand corruption enterprise of Zuma administration wouldn’t run like it to.
The President Zuma’s Nkandla Village Project in Kwa-Zulu Natal state are now a cheap knock-off, even if the grand corrupt behavior of that one alone should have made the President fall. Instead, he is now on his second corrupt buy-out a big mansion. Not just a fire-pool, visiting-center and small hospital like the Nkandla. This time it’s talk about an expensive mansion in Dubai worth USD $30m and cost R30,000 South African Rands to wash the place a-week!
The President of South Africa is clearly not caring about the state he runs, as he busy looting and conniving the state for personal benefit. He is doing so that the Gupta and Oakbay Resources and Investment can enrich themselves.
The Republic of South Africa, the National Assembly, the National Treasury and the others has been taken without consideration of the citizens, because President Zuma could secure wealth with kickbacks and bribes from Gupta instead. That is what is revealed with every e-mail and leak. If you ever thought that President Zuma cared about the citizens, he doesn’t, he is more preoccupied getting money for services delivered to the Gupta. Peace.

Today, the African National Congress (ANC) National Executive Committee (NEC) or the ANC NEC, as the ‘No Confidence’ Motion tabled to question the rule of President Jacob Zuma. Again, the ‘No Confidence’ vote against him failed. This was expected, since it hasn’t been able to pass in the National Assembly twice. Why should it be possible to do it in-house?
President Zuma is reported to get the total of 18 ANC leaders voting for demise of the Executive. But that wasn’t enough. It was so not enough, as the ANC NEC has enough of loyal cronies who needs Zuma. Therefore, 54 other ANC leaders voted against the Motion. Meaning that the possible stepping down isn’t happening now, as the Party themselves and the key leadership are still supporting President Zuma. Today is the day when the ANC party itself didn’t see what they have become.
The ANC of today isn’t the party who liberated the people and promised development for all South Africans. Now it is the party who are working together with corporate corrupt elite and the growing cronyism around the President. They are not developing the townships, neither creating the industrial and economic development that the Republic deserves.
The President even became like this when the Motion was in discussion:
“I have been quiet because I don’t want to harm the ANC, so continue attacking me in the media and you will see,” News24 reports the president as saying” (…) “News24 reports a source at the NEC saying that this was the angriest they had ever seen the president. The source further said that the president used his closing comments to issue his warning to leaders to stop criticising him in public. Zuma is also reported to have told the meeting that he did not understand the calls for him to step down, as he was not standing for re-election at the party’s December elective conference” (SA Breaking News, 2017).
So that the President is blind or ignorant isn’t easy to see. As he doesn’t want to listen, because he believes that he deserves to rule, even as he has enough counts of corruptions and the State of Capture report. Clearly he must know that current state of Gupta relationship and the Companies they own in cahoots with him is giving economical benefit to both. This is tiring the looting of state reserves for the Zupta. That cannot continue. The ANC is now in a state where they are accepting the looting and the maladministration. This with favors towards the ANC cronies. Therefore the reputation of South Africa is also falling. The one in-charge of that is President Zuma!
Zuma and his administration, which is parts of the ANC NEC who voted for him and letting him. He is man who want it like this and earns his fortune on it. The same is done by his cronies, that is why they don’t wont to let him go. They have all forgotten the charters and the pledges of the past. They are all eating and not caring for the ones who they represent, the workers, the unemployed and the youth. The ANC have forgotten the people and who they represent, they are now only making sure they eat. Peace.

SA Breaking News – ‘Zuma tells detractors at NEC not to ‘push him too far’ (29.05.2017) link: http://www.sabreakingnews.co.za/2017/05/29/zuma-tells-detractors-at-nec-not-to-push-him-too-far/

If you we’re ever skeptical of the relationship between the Gupta Families and Companies in South Africa, and the family of President Jacob Zuma. Than the recent revelations hasn’t shocked you. It is the new normal, as the Zuma Administration doesn’t care or has no scruples when coming to looting from the State Reserves. If it is selling bad coal expensively from a Oakbay Resources Company to the State Company Eskom. Similar agreements and giving contracts connected with Gupta owned businesses are showing disregard for governance and more of supplying funds to friendly investors who also hires Zuma’s own kin.
President Zuma is loyal to the Family of Gupta, his cronies works close with these, the State of Capture report told so and showed it by the messages and phone-call logs. This is now an older report. So the release of leaked #GuptaEmails isn’t controversial, but more of the same. The South African Government and African National Congress (ANC) are now again under fire for their connection with Gupta. It has been so for years now.
That President Zuma hasn’t cleared his name, but stalled cases, while the charges and the corruption cases has been deflected at a rate that is insane. While he has been able to get loyal men and woman in charge of important parts of government. The government has made sure the Gupta and Zuma has been defended. The National Assembly has been a saving grace as the ANC have run trust in the representation down to the ground. Therefore, that the vote of no confidence has been overturned twice.
Just like the time of Thuli Madonsela’s report was mulled and silenced, which haven’t had the willing effect. The only worthy of her report is that she has opened the doors with her investigation into the Gupta infested government. Now there isn’t happening anything since Zuma got the friendly adv. Busisiwe Mkhwebane who will not do anything to rock the boat. Secondly, she wants to have peace and just made sure there isn’t further investigations into Zuma administration. This can be seen as the silence and also that the Public Protector has no interest in looking into breaches of governance by the current government.
It is damning like the reports was around the first time Finance Minister Nene Nhlanhla was fired in 2015, than a few days with David Van Rooyen and therefore the return of Pravin Gordhan. He was now the minister until March 2017. Than, a new fellow crony who was loyal to Gupta got this important ministry. Therefore, both Nhlanhla and Gordhan was fired, because they we’re both skeptical about certain agreements between the government and the Gupta companies, it was like the South African Airlines (SAA) and other ones. Parts of the sacking of Nhlanhla was because of ExecuJet Aviation, are now in the spotlight because of #GuptaEmails.
With this in mind, the stories are getting more connected, if it is IcelandSave or a private jet company. Just like the Oakbay Investment portfolio company Sahara Computers that made reservation for Matshela Koko is the step-daughter of Eskom director who bagged R1bn during 2016, in 2016 Sahara Computers fixed reservations for a hotel stay in the Oberoi Hotel, also chauffeur to drive her to the place. Therefore, you know that the government and Gupta family are working together.
Even if these emails are fake, the State of Capture and the other suspect agreements between Oakbay Investment and Oakbay Resources are questionable enough. President Zuma are clearly working hard together with the Gupta Brotherhood. Zuma has used the tools of government to earn cash for his family and the foreign investors, instead of working for the South Africans. Certainly, these stories has to end. The Fire-pools and the extensions of Nkandla in general. As the ANC NEC and the ANC Party has forgotten their mission. To care about good governance has gone into the ghost of Christmas past. The ANC under President Zuma has totally changed, but its been a slow march to the total takeover and control. Even as some individuals see themselves as the next in line. They are certainly not secure to overcome Zuma, as he did wise in the way he got rid of Mbeki. The way he got support of Malema and the Unions to take control. Now someone needs to do something similar, as the party as it is now heading in oblivion under Zuma. The trust and the relationship with the public is dying. The disgusting parts of the economic incentives between foreign investors and the President. That is back-channels for his changes of cabinet and also secret dossiers. This is all reasons that the South African people needs someone who will not use the State Reserves for his own gain, but for developing the Republic. Peace.






“BREAKING: In a reply to my Parliamentary question, Minister of Public Works Nathi ‘firepool’ Nhleko, has said that there are no upgrades planned for Zuma’s Nkandla residence. Meanwhile, The chief director of Public Works, Barnie Ntlou told the Sunday Times that work will go ahead at the Presidents residence. Who’s fooling who?” (Mmusi Maimane, 22.05.2017).

It is depressing, it is sad and it tormenting to listen and read the defenses of National Resistance Movement. The defense of the 31 years of rule, the rule of the for life President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and his cronies. The cronies and their 10th Parliament, the By-Elections that are rigged in favor of the NRM Regime. The government of Uganda is totally controlled by the one in-charge, the President and kingpin.
The Parliament are following orders and making amends to seem to be different. Therefore, the results of elections are more to just show overpower, but not to have real elections. As the NRM sends buses and pays of villages with small-fees and commodities. There aren’t anything fruitful or sincere by the regime. The ones who put dissidents in the Nalufenya prison. Where they will be beaten, tortured and get ill. As well, as in the overcrowded prison in Luzira. The organized silence of opposition, as their rallies are filled with tear-gas and police brutality. If not the ones who are feared by the NRM are put on treason charges and called terrorists.
President Museveni with his patronage, his bloated State House, the massive cabinet and the Presidential Advisors. There certainly enough ghosts, fake bills and misuse of state reserves to write books ten times thicker than the bible. We can know by the lost trillions of the Petroleum monies, as the “Presidential Handshake” is a drop in the ocean. As the UNRA and other agencies has misused the taxpayers monies. This happens with such ease and lacking finesse, but the agencies looking into graft and corruption is compromised, because the ones leading it are loyal Musevenist.
That the government and budgets are bloated. That the financial and economic state is in deep distress, as the state is suffering from lacking provisions and revenue. As well, as they are struggling with the stop of donor friendly relationships. People’s and Foreigners trust in the leadership of Museveni has been dwindling. President Museveni are also already prospecting the revenue of the oil and petroleum, even before it has surfaced. Therefore, the future will also be compromised by the deals done today.
The defenders of the NRM now, does not believe in real democracy, as they defending the rigging and militant Movement. A President who has no trouble with killing and destroying to stay in power. The ones defending him has no trouble to stand by a man who empties the treasury and state reserves with no hesitation. As well, as the men and woman who stays by the regime, are easily taking land and resources, they are eating of the plate and selling it back to the Ugandans. This with impunity and without any consideration of the ones who loses their chances.
It is a nation who has a government, not based on merit, but on loyalty. The loyalty to Museveni and his agenda. The agenda to work for him and his ideas. Not work to develop the nation, but develop the estate of Museveni. The idea of real Movement is ploy from the master himself. He just needs shadows to work for him and for envelopes. Not a real party who deliver policy or working for the future Republic. No the Movement is now a shell used pounce out the empty ideas of greed, nurture of the estates of Museveni and of the staging the power of the old-man with the hat!
President Museveni and his apologists knows all of this, they live by this and has faith that this is ideal and the dream. That someone comes with empty promises and lives by the fake party celebrating the 1986 coup. The coup that overruled the government and the old constitution, that President Museveni couldn’t pigeonhole. That has he done to his own and plans to do it again for his 8th Term.
The apologists can say he created safety, but he also created warfare and civil-war to get to power. Some called it a revolution, other calls it a takeover. But with time it wasn’t for the idea of a people’s government, but more a government and state built around the revolutionary, who didn’t really believe in the words he spoke.
The ones defending him, is defending a lie and that for the sake of eating. Not for the benefit of the Republic or the public. The struggling public is pawns, they are just needed props now and then for the Movement. As they praise their master, as they know if they get to close or too ambitious they are surely losing their place. Therefore, all of them are loyal cadres, elite and patrons who surely basks in the pasture of the President. But really, they should know it is on borrowed time. No-one knows how long the patronage and military can be serviced, how long they can all live on the charade and the misuse of power.
Certainly, the President knows this too, therefore, he uses all ways to make sure and get people on board. Even if that lets people starve, let them cheat on food reliefs and even use refugees as bailing-out card on the struggling economy. That is solely made of the patronage and grand-corruption orchestrated from the seat of the President at the Okello House. He can created all sorts of schemes and manufacture new ways of promoting better agriculture or better yields, but it is all ploys of generating more funds for his own. Not for the public to earn or get better output of the seeds and seedlings. If so, than the agricultural should be booming after 30 years in power.
However, the defense of this will be in the patronage and by the spokespersons appointed by the President. These ones will make a fuzz and say the Opposition never was a viable option and never had the leadership to overturn the Movement. The Movement has always been the only option, they say and use new ways of saying so. But that doesn’t make it true, as the rigging and the intimidation is used to forge this facade. The flawless untouched ballots doesn’t exists, there has been all sorts of play to get the will of the President.
President Museveni, even detain opposition, he uses safe-houses and some like Sam Mugumya are detained in the Democratic Republic of Congo, with no plan of getting him home. Him and others are lingering abroad as the political prisoner lingers in uncertainty. This is the legacy of the revolutionary, who became the draconian and the militarized government who uses all means to stay. He uses all methods on earth, Machiavellian and Orwellian blended in a Yellow Color with no fear of repression… no fear that the Movement can be touched, but when the moment appear. Than the Ugandans shouldn’t lose it, because they have already lost so much in the name of Museveni. Museveni has stolen the past and the present. His men has rewritten the history and tried to become the grand hero, and the generations from the rebellion is dwindling away. The young generation only knows the folklore and should beware, it is not all what it seems. The ghosts are not only in the budgets, but they are haunting the President from the past. They are the ones he stole to gain power and to silence the opposition. These souls will ask in the after-life, why he did what he did to them and also why he punished their grand-kids. Since they all lead the same faith. They all got to feel the pain, with no mercy from the leadership controlled by the President.
That is why there are no defending a man like Museveni. He has used all tricks, even was able to deceive the west for decades to pay for his decadence. Certainly, he must laugh about the dumb-white men and their agendas. His grin must be wide thinking of all the sorts of cars, airplanes and ranch expansions that are paid by the friends of direct-state aid. They have kept his roof and his ammunition, to oppress and to relief his patronage. Therefore, if someone is defending this man. Think of his track-record and all the souls he has left behind. Peace.
