SOUTH AFRICA: THE SINS OF THE FATHERS – PART I
Despair

South Africa - what a hell hole? Or is it not?

Max Du Preez, a social commentator who has taken quite a bit of time to understand what he is dealing with writes in March this year and asks “What has become of the ANC?”
Prince Mashele and Mzukisis Qobo wrote a book entitled “The Fall of the ANC – What next?” One of the pertinent questions asked is if the ANC was ever ready to govern? John Kane – Berman writes in March this year; “Naught for your comfort as they loot the beloved country.”

All of these commentators express a sense or anxiety and urgency about the happenings in the RSA. While apartheid is still being blamed, the sins of the fathers? Will South Africa ever be able to stand on their own is the question to ask. Apartheid as a social experiment became a complete failure when the authorities searched to entrench it in stone. Rule one, nothing is ever written in stone, except life and death.
However, there are past references to the fact that South Africa has got to answer to, about the moneys received from the USA and the Libyan money which had gone missing.
In all these issues there have been syndicates in action stemming from the old South Africa, pre 1994 and the new South Africa, post 1994. Whilst their actions impact on society as a whole, they have not been exposed as such and so let us delve a little deeper.

The Five Star Trusts (“Five Stars”) was the medium through which the alleged billions of dollars were flowing to South Africa for infrastructural development. At the top of all these dealings allegations are that this all happened during the time of former President Thabo Mbeki. The names of Jesse Duarte, Tokyo Sexwale and Cyril Ramaphosa are mentioned. The real fact is that money had disappeared, and even the USA authorities are starting to explore as to what happened.
But this goes much further as the following names have also been added to these allegations:

John Duarte – brother of Jesse Duarte, Razien Dangor, Christo Kriek, Louis Andrello, Carlos Ardasa, Tito Mboweni – previous Governor of the Reserve Bank, Trevor Manuel-

previous Minister of Finance, Maria Ramos – current CEO of Transnet where she stripped the pension fund which is now a case before the court for the repayment of some R 80 billion, Michael Blackbeard – Senior official at the Reserve Bank, Chris Stals – previous Governor of the Reserve Bank, Gill Marcus – current governor of the Reserve Bank, Johan De Jager – Legal Department Reserve Bank, Johan Ruper from Stellenbosch Rob Burrows – Director Reserve Bank, Michael Solomon, Martin Landman, Michael Katz, Lennie Katz, Sybrand Van Der Spuy, Col Marion Horn, Christo Wiese, Mike Brown – Nedbank, Tom Boardman – Nedbank.

The same people are also alleged to have been involved to a larger or a lesser degree in the vanishing of the Gaddafi money. The Gaddafi money was apparently handled under the AU’s (African Union) auspices. Personnel and consultants were provided with diplomatic cover from the AU according to reliable sources.
In this regard, it must be borne in mind that the British MI6 had always been extremely well entrenched in Libya. Many Libyans had been recruited as MI6 agents. Especially during the time of the Afghans fighting against the Russian invaders.
It is alleged that the rise of Gaddafi was due to the role of MI6. MI6 was also involved in the movement of the Gaddafi moneys as well as the financing of the oil explorations of the African continent. The Tar sands project in Canada is another project that was financed by Gaddafi. All of these investments were routed via British companies.

In the South African context, people such as F W De Klerk were linked to MI6.
General Hankel of the SAPS is also acutely strongly linked. Hankel has been linked as the handler of Thabo Mbeki, who apparently was recruited during his lengthy stay in the UK. Mbeki has been known as a connoisseur of the abundant life and was referred to as the Covent Garden Guerrilla due to his passion for opera of which he attended many an opera at Covent Garden. A certain Sam Buthelezi has been linked to the network which ran through to Matthews Phosa, Bob Mhlangu, Willem Lötter, Herman Crause at the SA Intelligence Service, and Lord Renwick, MI6 at its best.

In the SANDF, the link was taken to Lindiwe Sisulu, apparently a known thief and thug and trained by the former STASI (East German Intelligence). Gen Gagiano, former Chief

of the SA Air Force was also implicated. They are not the only people. The network seems to be enormous and include many role players.

The SA Reserve Bank had been implicated in many dodgy deals. In receipt of some of the hundreds of billions of US dollars of the Gaddafi moneys which were signed in by one Shaun Abrahams at the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) whence he gave agents of SARS indemnity, which he did not even possess, thereby rendering such indemnity useless. The same Reserve Bank is also implicated in the movement of Gaddafi moneys to the Bank of Athens.

The question ultimately is whether there is any confirmation in all of these allegations. Prince Mashele and Mzukisi Qobo write in their book, “ The Fall of the ANC “ on Page 48 as follows : “In addition to all this, De Klerk and his henchmen depleted state coffers towards the end of apartheid in the early 1990s. Terreblanche comments During De Klerk’s tenure of the presidency from 1989 until 1994, the deficit increased from R 91,2 billion to R 237billion (in current prices).”

On page 207 of the same book, they say the following: “The dictatorship of money has seized complete hold of ANC cadres, and our society is suffering the consequences.”
So, ultimately what is fiction and what not?

The sins of the fathers……

This is only the beginning, so much more to tell.
