Twenty years and what has happened to South Africa.
The African National Congress (ANC) government
has failed miserably and yet they remain arrogant and presumptuous about
their stronghold. The ANC leadership is marred
by corruption, crime, and instability. From Mandela to Zuma there has never been a
solid foundation for peace and prosperity
for the majority. The majority follows the ANC blindly and brainwashed by
promises of a free future and yet they never see the light. It is like the ANC
imitating the pied piper and singing a tune that never fails to prompt the ignorant
and uneducated people to follow. The ANC pilot
the people like puppets on a string, probably laughing all the way to the
bank.
After terrorizing South Africa and killing innocent
women and children, planting bombs in public places and trying to overthrow the
former government, the ANC finally was declared the winner for the sake of
peace. In 1994, a substantial infrastructure,
vast wealth, and knowledge were given to the ANC. It has taken twenty years to
demolish a perfectly good, stable working foundation, drain the resources, and
forsake the knowledge. While that might
not be the greatest problem facing South Africa today, it is perhaps the
corruption and blatant open theft of ANC government and officials.
Where has all the money gone? The money is gone to self-enrichment, Nkandla, and greedy
government officials. The most tragic part of the greed is the continuous quest
to steal and drain the entire country of all resources. It is a never-ending
drive to ensure that nothing is left for
the development of the country. It is not only internal resources that are
milked away; it is also the foreign money that has caused the green eyes to
scream, “I WANT IT ALL” and that is exactly what has happened. Perhaps the
Gaddafi billions was a cherry to delightful to ignore. Money, diamonds, gold
and whatever else Gaddafi entrusted to the ANC top knobs has disappeared,
whisked away quickly and deviously. The media have published stories about the
Gaddafi billions and the whereabouts of the stash. It is a hush, a pushover for
the ANC to hide the details and remain
silent. Why would the ANC reveal the truth about the missing billions? Of
course, the ongoing game of ruthless indulgence and misleading the world is the
only concern. The ANC is not big on
truth, yet this government has perfected the art of double-dealing, lying and
manipulating people.
For over a year, I
have published articles on the Gaddafi
money, with links to reliable sources. (See links at end of the article for easy
reference) On January 28, 2015, a French publication published an article
about the ANC, Zuma, and the Gaddafi
money. An article that holds back no punches and articulates the research and
mission of trying to uncover the truth about the Gaddafi / South African
missing billions. The article deals with the dedication and time-consuming effort of Erik Iskander Goaied resolving the issue of the South African
connection. Goaied relates to the links
between the ANC, Mandela, Mbeki and Zuma
and the missing money. The missing money might not be returned to Libya due to terrorist organizations but can be used
to liberate and educate the Libyan people. After all, the missing money the ANC
government is keeping under the blanket does belong to the people of Libya.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION WITH COMMENTARY
In South Africa, he has long responded to the nickname of Erik
"Niemand". "Niemand" which means "NOBODY" in
Afrikaans. An alias that has accommodated
this man of Tunisian-Swedish business wise and discreet manner. Erik Iskander Goaied, whose real name means “pleasure. “
"It was necessary to carry out my mission and my safety," he
says in a seaside hotel in Tunis where he is visiting. For nearly two years,
"Mr. Nobody" is dedicated to tracking down the "hidden assets" of Muammar Gaddafi
in South Africa. We guess that behind his grin, that he for this mission was plunged into a dark world populated by arms dealers,
politicians, spies, mercenaries and especially many crooks.
Presenting himself as paranoid and manic , he insists
on showing his credentials Libyan government, those from the time of Prime
Minister Ali Zeidan, who was dismissed March 11, 2014, and those of his
successor Abdullah al-Thani, head of the government "in exile "in
eastern Libya since the Islamist military victory in Tripoli last summer.
"This is the greatest treasure hunt in history, ' he says
coldly" Mr. Nobody ". Installed today
in Washington, says Goaied who is about to pass to the US authorities evidence
implicating people in the highest levels of power of the South African
government, the presidential palace ( Nkandla ) implicated in certain cliques
of the African National Congress (ANC), the historic party of Nelson Mandela to
lead the country for more than twenty years. He is convinced he got hold of the "treasure" and discovered
the mysterious personal "hidden funds" of Muammar Gaddafi.
"Brother Gaddafi"
The close links between South African and Libyan authorities date back
to mid-1990. (The relationship between the ANC and Ghaddafi stretches back to
1972.) Nelson Mandela did not hide his affection for the "brother
Gaddafi," which had financially and militarily supported the struggle
against apartheid. Among the heirs of the ANC,
several businessmen later exploited this close relationship between the two countries
to encourage the self-proclaimed "king of kings of Africa" to invest
and store the bulk of his colossal fortune in South Africa. Thus
transforming South Africa into a giant laundry washing dirty money for Gaddafi,
who was paying for them a portion of oil. In any case,
the claims of Erik Goaded is strange while ordering another coffee at the bar of the hotel in Tunis.
Billions of petrodollars in cash, gold,
and diamonds, in particular, have been
transferred by air cargo and stored in Johannesburg and Pretoria between 2000
and 2011. "The South Africans must and will return this treasure to Libya,
he said. There are 400 billion US Dollars. "
An astronomical amount smiles entourage Bashir Saleh, Gaddafi's former
chief of staff covered by Interpol Red Notice. ( He is being sought in relation to the disappearance of some Euro 4
billion from Libya.) After a brief stint in France, Pretoria offered a
comfortable refuge. For the decades until 2011, Bachir Saleh was at the heart
of relations between Libya and South Africa. He was also the lead manager of
SWFs, the Libyan Investment Authority
and Libyan African Portfolio, whose investments are traceable despite the
hundreds of subsidiaries and bank accounts. Jacob Zuma, the current South
African president, and former head of the
ANC intelligence has remained a loyal and
grateful friend. ( Saleh was seen
cavorting at Nkandla with Kulubushe Zuma )
"The leaders of the old regime (Libya) will block this process as
they will not have the assurance that this money will not end up in the hands
of Islamists."
"All this means nothing and is nothing but wishful thinking. There
would be no more than 1.5 billion dollars in Libyan investments in South
Africa, "states a source close to Bashir Saleh. It is also the estimated
amount of former South African Minister of Finance, Pravin Gordan, who puts it closer to a billion. However, investigators from Command Global
Service Company (SGC), formed by former US intelligence agents states. "There is a lot of money in South Africa and
elsewhere we can no longer track and that are lost," whilst sitting on the
terrace of a Parisian hotel , an Investigator of CGS Haig Melkessetian, who had
been discouraged about the whole issue. He added: "To date, Libya
has not recovered anything from South Africa. The leaders of the old regime
(Libya) will block this process as they will not have the assurance that these
amounts will not end up in the hands of the Islamists. "So many disputes the figures put forward by Erik Goaied: "These stories of billions of
dollars in cash, it is bogus! This is a crooked situation according to a
South African diplomat.
A simple VRP turned into bloodhound
Who is he this, "Mr.
Nobody" to dare contradict and challenge some of the highest leaders of
South Africa and their statements? An atypical trader of 48 years having
acquired a good knowledge of the workings of the administration, both in Libya
and South Africa. Having been a consultant for
Elf Aquitaine (Togo, Nigeria, etc.) in the 1990s, he had entered into trade
relations with Pretoria and Tripoli with a miracle product,
"Burnshield" the name of these compresses allowing the relief of burns. Not without a certain audacity,
he became in 1996 the exclusive seller in North Africa of this product
manufactured in South Africa. Libya was under international embargo and
considered "terrorist country". After many adventures, he ended up
being briefly arrested in Tunis when a brother-law of Gaddafi, Ali Farkash,
claimed certain commissions.
Financially ruined, he approached in 2008 another great Gaddafi agent who was a shining entity in
the Ghaddafi universe, one Mohamed Tag, an influential person of the Wershefana
tribe. Tag is a former aide who parted
company with the Guide (Ghaddafi) in the late 1980s. The high-ranking contact
to the Libyan army allows Erik Goaied to
recover tens of thousands of his dinars and to regain a foothold in the
business in Tripoli. This time is no longer compresses,
but weapons and military equipment he sells, as a representative of the
state-owned South African Denel. "When the revolution broke out in 2011,
emissaries from both sides requested me to meet in
Tunis to supply arms and advice, he said. I refused, for weapons because it was illegal. However, I gave advice to the revolutionaries, and I helped to transfer injured in Tunisia. "
In 2013, Erik Goaied was back in
action for Libya in South Africa with his sidekick Mohamed Tag. He was asked by
a Libyan army in chaos to act as an arms dealer. An order in the amount of five
million dollars allowed him to get an appointment with Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula . The defense minister is wary
of these intermediaries acting on behalf of a Libya that is sinking into chaos.
She is right. For Goaied and Tag intended to take advantage of the opportunity to
involve themselves in the sensitive issue of Gaddafi's assets. Moreover, to effect control they offer to pay
with the Libyan dollars allegedly concealed in South Africa for these military
purchases. Except that there is no
contract or restitution fund. Maybe because,
at the same time, other teams claim to represent the Libyan government to recover the funds of
which, Serj Sam, in about early 2014, signs a final settlement for $ 12.5 billion. ( From USD 1 billion according to
Pravin Gordan to this!)
See also: Sam Serj: Libyan Gaddafi on the treasure trail
Erik Goaied now involved in the
case, convinced that the South Africans are eager to wipe the slate clean of $
12.5 billion and that there is actually a lot more money in. (USD 400 billion – the South Africans thus
wanting to steal the balance of USD 387,5 billion?) Along with his acolyte,
Mohamed Tag, they produce a mandate from the Libyan government and derail the
negotiations between their competitors and Pretoria.
To speed up his investigations, Goaied partners with a “sulfureux” arms dealer, the South African Johan Erasmus.( Erasmus
had been attacked by the authorities in South Africa who had set out to steal
his and his BEE partners’ business”) The latter, contacted by telephone, said
in French accentuated by Afrikaans "That it is the former president Thabo Mbeki who benefited most from
these funds. I have the certainty and
evidence that billions of dollars of Gaddafi are
still stored here in cash or
banks. "
Among the documents recovered by Erik Goaied,
presumably from South African officials, some are staggering. One of them, an email titled "The Libyan case, as
discussed," addressed by the Chief of the South African NPA ( National Prosecuting
Authority at the time , a dysfunctional institution) Nomgcobo Jiba, to the
Director of Treasury, Rebecca Tee, sent on May 15, 2013 at 9 am 48 . Jiba` to evaluate all of the Libyan state
assets in South Africa of some USD 179 billion "without considering the
amounts known" under control by other administrations. ( Much more than
USD 1 billion) In addition, she accentuates: "This amount is not under
government control, but it is the result of an agreement between the Libyan
authorities and some South African parties." If this email proves true, it will
give weight to the estimates of "Mr. Nobody".
Pretoria Washington
Through Tag Mohammed, now at the age of 62 years and
boss of the New Asset Restitution Committee established January 22, 2014 by the
Libyan government, Erik Goaied informs Tripoli of what’s happening, starting with
Abdullah al-Thani, who will become the first Minister two months later. However, in South Africa, the threats are
increasing in the year 2014. "Mr. Nobody" out of nowhere, would have
become dangerous. "When there are such sums at stake, even the most honest
men can reveal their dark side" words from a "wise old man" of
the ANC. Emissaries of the powerful party and the President are engaging with
Erik Goaied. The latter claims to have
declined a series of full and final settlement offers to 32 then 64 and finally
$ 150 billion in June. His only reply: "It has to be a reasonable offer to
the Libyans, and they will have to agree to write off a portion of those
funds." All In vain. Today, Mohamed Tag responds to the authority of the
Parliament of Tobruk and the fragile government of Abdullah al-Thani, in a
deeply divided Libya. The assets in South Africa? The
committee directed that he made it a priority, even his obsession as follows :
"We expect a return of at least $ 400 billion, a vital amount for the reconstruction
of Libya, which will benefit the entire region, particularly our African
partners," insists one of the three members of the Committee met in Tunis.
Before leaving South Africa last summer, Erik Goaied is invited on June 27 to an upscale villa in Waterkloof,
Pretoria. There he is received by an adviser to former President Thabo Mbeki, who listens carefully. Before picking up
the phone, he says. "Mr. President, you
have to return the money, they know
everything." On the phone with President Jacob Zuma, Erik Goaied reported
his response to which he often think back, "Tell Thabo Mbeki and his
family to return the money first and then we will discuss." End of
conversation. The advisor to the closed face turns to Erik Goaied "Seek an alternative, you will find nothing here."
Duly noted. For "Mr. Nobody", the solution is in Washington.
Only the Americans can put pressure on Pretoria, he thinks. Storyteller or
crook for some, sleuth revealed later on for others, he said he brought to
safety records, as thick tomes of a judge at the end of an investigation. “The file is processed at the level of the two States,
but I believe Goaied Erik and his team are able to prove their claim and
be in possession of documents, "states the former head of security and
intelligence ANC Tito Maleka , by phone.
In the US capital, Erik Goaied
intends to write the final chapter of his adventure. To enhance its
credibility, he has secured the services of Ben Barnes, influential lobbyist, close to the chief diplomat John Kerry.
"Mr. Nobody" is then found at diners in the intriguing K Street in
Washington. On the sidel to the General Assembly of the UN, in a suite
at the Grand Hyatt in New York, Friday, Sept. 26, 2014, he and Mohammed Tag
presented the results of their investigations to the Libyan President Aguila
Salah Issa. Exhausted by the years of investigations, they followed his
speech closely the next day at the UN. Where,
in an improvised sentence Issa called for "the assistance of all countries
for the return of Libyan funds stolen abroad." ( South Africa has a case
to answer?) A message to the US administration to address the issue that by now have convinced Goaied to put an
end to what he called a "spy movie".
In
closing
Now that the world has come to
realize there is a real problem in South Africa, perhaps the game of greed will
finally end. We all understand that Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe has ruined a
great country and continued to rule with
an iron fist of dictatorship. Denying human rights to his people and ignoring
the world sanctions against the country. We all know that Zimbabwe is not only
a failed state but also a total wreck, and the ANC are going down the same
route. The good news is that there is time to stop the carnage and recover a
land of gold and opportunity. There are people in South Africa that want an
honest, reliable working government. The
world cannot carry on ignoring the disorder created by the reckless leadership
of the ANC coupled with the continuous genocide against the whites. The
International Criminal Courts and U.S. must take immediate action against the
ANC government and President Zuma. It is
time for action and it is time for change! Action to move in an honest path and
change from doom to credibility.
