SOUTH AFRICA – A FAILED STATE – NAMING AND SHAMING THEM: PART II – THE EVIL OF THOSE INVOLVED

This is one of a series of articles in order to name the evil people involved in creating havoc and chaos in South Africa. People whose despicable actions have the potential to impact negatively on Europe and even the United States.

It might sound crazy, but it is not. When a country such as South Africa can steal more than USD 800 billion from another country, such as Libya, this holds the potential for massive repercussions. While the moving of the Libyan moneys had started during the time of Pres. Mandela and the bulk because of that during the time of Pres. Mbeki with Pres. Zuma being caught up on the tail end of these movements. However, the buck stops today with Pres. Zuma, an incompetent, psychopathic, sexually focused, paranoid individual who is described by Ole Max Du Preez as a “one man wrecking ball.”  The only problem is that his actions and inaction will take a very long time to be corrected. He apparently believes that the Zulus are untouchable, however, there is a big surprise for him and the rest of his tribe. The rest of the country is starting to become united against him and his Zulus and their acolytes. Zuma is quick to criticize the opposition, but he and his people have shown no appreciation for what they inherited. The Zulus have turned the Valley of a Thousand Hills in Kwazulu Natal, a picturesque panorama, into the Valley of Ten Thousand toilets! This aspect should always be kept in mind as this is clearly the way the Zulus see the world around them.

However, it is not only the Zulus, there are the Xhosas of Mbeki that warrant concern.
In essence, what it means is that the ANC has been bad for South Africa. They claim to be leaning towards communism. They forget that communism itself is a form of leftist fascism in as much as Nazism is a form of rightist fascism. Under the ANC the RSA has gone backward, Zuma blames everything on apartheid. In this regard, he actually admits that the ANC is not living up to its promises. When the Mail & Guardian publishes reports from inside the ANC itself to this effect, they are castigated. Gwede Mantashe, one of the ANC’s top six stated that the revolutionary movement is under threat. What does he mean by this? Is this October 1917 about to be repeated?

Not only under the auspices of the ANC do they steal Libya’s moneys, they use the State’s resources to hide these funds. According to certain allegations, they even send billions of these moneys to ISIS in Syria. In this regard, the allegations are that Jesse Duarte, another of the ANC’s top six is involved in this issue.  The Defense Intelligence (DI) of the SANDF is primarily involved. Genl Nyembe, Chief of DI, Brig Genl Sidney Modise, and Col Ngobeni, etc. are all implicated in this fracas. At the SA Reserve bank, it is alleged that previous Governor Gill Marcus and the less than competent Maria Ramos, Chairperson of ABSA, had sent substantial quantities of Gaddafi’s gold to the UK. Sent in order to serve as a guarantee with Barclays Plc for a credit line to ABSA, where Barclays do hold a substantial shareholding. Le Monde, the influential French journal reported on 28 January 2015 the fact of the role of the South Africans and the disappearance of the Gaddafi moneys. Definitely not a situation by what the South African government is covered in clover.

This is the same ABSA which came about with the amalgamation of the old Volkskas Bank.  This is the same Volkskas where according to allegations officials were paid billions of Rands in order to facilitate the contracts for Armscor in order to obtain either weaponry or to export South African manufactured products. Suffice to say that the South African defense industry is today only a shadow of its former self. Officials are running their own offshore companies. An example of what’s been going on is as follows:  an organization, AMD representing the Industry has as its Chairperson, Dean Mogale from a company called Afrimeasure, supplying night vision. This company garnered a couple of years back a contract for R 170 million from Armscor in order to provide night vision from a German company which was assembling Russian manufactured equipment. Despite them being disqualified by the evaluation committee for the contract, these recommendations had been overridden. The fact that Mogale was a big mate of the former, incompetent, Minister of Defense, Lindiwe Sisulu, seems to have helped their cause. Afrimeasure is bankrupt and they still owe the Germans apparently more than USD 7 million. According to allegations, Mogale had spirited the moneys away to a family trust which is under his wife’s control! This is the same Mogale whom it has been alleged had bribed an official at SARS in order to make a tax bill of more than R 5 million to disappear and then he welched on the official.

But the plot thickens, at AMD a DENEL employee sits as a director. His name is Victor Khasapane, a former artillery officer. Denel today is losing its way, they take two years to manufacture a Rooivalk attack helicopter. Even a G6 x 155 mm gun cannot be built unless they have an order for a minimum of 36 guns and also a two-year waiting period. This is the same Denel who delivered refurbished rifles – R4’s, a copy of the famous Israeli Galil, which was manufactured under license in the RSA. Suffice to say, the state had the capability to manufacture these rifles have also fallen by the wayside. However, the rifles delivered to the SA Infantry was at a cost of R 142 000.00 each. Yet a brand new Italian Beretta at the time cost R 28 000.00. Can anybody in his right mind explain how this was possible? All this happened while Denel is registered as a private company although the shares are held by the State. Anti-competitive behavior!!

Armscor, another State-owned entity belonging to the State and run by officials from the NP’s days. These state-owned entities appear to be more run on the basis for the pockets of the officials in their employ than for the benefit of the state. According to Pik Botha , former Minister of Foreign Affairs , who claims to be a friend of Steven Hawkings , the scientist, said that the corruption through the years at these entities have been on such a scale that any government who dared to expose such, would fall. Armscor is run by an acting CEO by the name of Sipho Mkwanazi, who is manipulated by Gerhard Grobler, the CFO and Dawie Griessel, the Acting Head of Procurement. All these officials have been playing a role in the Arms Deal, which is under investigation. Sipho Mkwanazi is an evil man, he slanders anybody under the pressures of those manipulating him. Armscor is a pathetic institution which survives due to the state pumping moneys into it. According to newspaper reports, Armscor lost an International Arbitration and had to cough up some R 300 million, equivalent to USD 30 million at the time. Currently, Armscor had been whacked with a one million Euro punitive cost order in Lisbon for the delays caused in a case by Jorge Pinol. Pinole’s case goes back to 1986 when he was instrumental in sourcing Puma helicopters for Armscor and they never paid his commission, which at this stage is running at R 4 billion, equivalent to USD  285 million. He has also confirmed his locus standi in Portugal in order to continue his case against Armscor.

Armscor is indeed a hornet’s nest and a big problem in the South African economic sphere. When they cannot have it their way, they will fabricate stories in order to steal while claiming secrecy provisions. In this regard, a South African company, NGAM (Pty) Ltd and its Directors have become one of their victims. NGAM had garnered a contract in order to deliver East Block weapons via Armscor for SA Special Forces, this they did successfully. However, Armscor created so many delays. I.E. a delay of 397 days in order to open a valid Letter of Credit and after that set about to sabotage the deliveries of the weapons. Till today, they have still not even paid for the price increases of these weapons. Armscor, rather established a task force, internally which set out to destroy NGAM and its directors. In this regard, Armscor and SASF by means of its very incompetent Officer Commanding, Brig Genl Rudzani Maphwanya, and a Col DBT Smit have roped in the DI, Brig Genl Sidney Modise. A drinking buddy of Maphwanya to spread blatant untruths, slander,victimizing and terrorizing the company and its directors.  Despite lodging letters to Pres. Zuma about these matters, nothing had been forthcoming with regard to resolving these issues.

Approaching the Courts is a futile exercise. The judges all appear to have been “spoken to”. This is seemingly also the sole reason why Pinol could not receive any joy in the RSA legal system. The Judges, mostly Afrikaans speaking are indeed apparently a bunch of gutless brown nosing creatures when it comes to these matters.  When the criminals in the Defense Force and the Defense Industry states that one is a danger to the safety of the country, the judges accept such. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?   An unsigned affidavit handed to various courts states that one of the directors of NGAM, Johan Erasmus, had smuggled weapons to Syria! No proof is supplied as it is blatantly untrue and false. Yet, the South African judges accept such as the truth. One must remember that the majority of these judges of whom it was alleged that they were either involved in drugs or extramarital affairs.

A certain Mark Philips, of the Ranch fracas, who had been victimized and persecuted by the authorities, had apparently won his case for R 800 million in damages against the State. This matter is kept reticent. Why? Mark Shuttleworth had won his case against the RSA authorities for the return of the 10% penalties which he had to forfeit when he moved his money offshore. Still the authorities are going hell for leather to find any loophole in order, not to fulfill the court order.

The big winners in all these legal maneuvers are the attorneys and advocates. Especially those advocates such as a cert Graham Bester in Pretoria. In his regard, it is expensive indeed to stable racing horses.  It is also a known fact that the advocates had organized themselves into individual blocks by what the outcome of a case is then decided. One of their strategies is to postpone all legal action on an ad infinitum basis. The judges tend to delay for whatever reason.  In this regard Judges such as P K Van Der Bijl, De Vos, and Fabricius, etc. are all kowtowing to outside forces. Their continuous postponement in serious matters is an indication of the problems relating to the RSA. Due to these aspects, the fact that the state is populated by criminals. And that these judges are adhering to their requests, as manifest in the discussions in the judge’s tea room, is indeed a very worrying trend.
In this regard, the lack of executing legal principles is what’s behind the decline in the RSA, in all sectors. The legal profession is the sole reason as to why the criminality is as rife as it is in the RSA. Judges do not take action unless it seems, they are instructed to. Generally all these judgments are only meted out whence somebody is an opponent to individual politicians.

Whatever anybody says, the fact of the matter is that one has only had to look at how the courts function in order to comprehend the reasons for why South Africa is a failing democracy. A case in point is how Jacob Zuma’s legal team had obstructed and obfuscated the issues around the legal process pertaining to the handling of the tapes to the DA. Several years later and after massive legal expenses had been incurred, Zuma’s legal team had run short of any excuses in the Supreme Court of Appeal. This has been throughout the manner in which legal matters have been handled. The judges are seemingly too afraid to do their duties under the Constitution and simply elevates issues to the higher courts, i.e. Appeals and Constitutional Courts. In this whole process, the rule of law is subverted as in the case against Jacob Zuma for more than 700 charges pertaining to corrupt practices.   

In this regard allegations that the judges are being blackmailed due to their obsession with drugs and mistresses might just seem to be ringing true. Where there’s that smoke ….
And this is how the RSA is floundering along.

Incompetence, fraud, and corruption carry the day. The SA State’s security agencies are focusing on protecting the criminals in the State. These would be all the politicians who had appointed the criminals. When a State steals another sovereign state’s money, and the reigning political party abusing the state’s resources in order to cover up their incompetence and their criminality, then there is something major wrong in this set up. That is precisely what’s happening in the RSA. While the blame must be laid in front of Zuma, the issue is that this rot stems much deeper. In actual fact, it is the whole ANC that is liable to this rot in as much as the NP is responsible to the apartheid corruption.

While Boko Haram is sowing chaos and destruction in West Africa, the Ministers of Defense and Foreign Affairs in South Africa had gone public in order to threaten any South African who would dare to assist the Nigerian government against Boko Haram, with arrest. What utter nonsense! In actual fact, these two Ministers should be brought up on charges of crimes against humanity. Could it rather have been because they are petrified about the allegedly 4 000 Al Qaeda operatives in South Africa.  Operatives who are using as a base for rest and recreation, might retaliate? Why Not? This was also the reason why the South African government was nowhere to be seen when the rest of the world was taking action against the Somali pirates.

Once the Kenyan government started taking action against these pirates, a series of bomb explosions shook the country. The South Africans do not have any inkling as to what’s happening in their own country. Only when it comes to stealing and massive corruption does, things move forward.
Then there is the issue of the allegations pertaining to billions of dollars sent to ISIS by Jesse Duarte, one of the ANC’s top six. Money that was also part and parcel of the missing Gaddafi moneys. ISIS has made it clear that their target is Europe and specifically Rome, which is seen by them as the center of Christianity.  What role will South Africa play in this battle which has already started? Under the ANC? Just look at the track record.

Don’t forget that it is the South African legal system which is failing not only the country but also the rest of the world.

Exposing and naming them will continue. These people don’t care one iota as to what’s happening as long as they can party, drive expensive cars and copulate in a manner that even the rabbits could sign up for lessons in this regard.
