South African must wake up, there is so much happening and the country is like a ticking time bomb ready to explode.
President Jacob Zuma has placed the nation on a self-destruct roller coaster ride and an economic crash is inevitable. It is no secret that Zuma always retaliates when confronted with the truth and this time is no different.
Thuli Madonsela’s term ends on Friday and the new Public Protector has already stated that the state capture probe will not be a priority. The president wrote to Madonsela and said he would not take part in the investigation until a list of all the informants who had implicated him in the state capture probe was passed to his attorney. Let us hope that Madonsela does not give into the demands of Zuma.
Today, the rand is taking a hammering after news that Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan has been ordered by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to appear in court on a charge of fraud over the SARS spy unit. The rand is more than four percent down from this morning.
The summons against the Finance Minister was announced at a media briefing by NPA head, Shaun Abrahams. According to Abrahams, Gordhan told the Hawks that the so-called rogue unit was established in a legal way. However, Gordhan says it was assembled in a strange and convert manner and operated from homes and coffee shops to conduct what he termed their clandestine and covert operations.
The NPA is trying to deflect attention away from the state capture investigation. Are the gloves coming off? It would seem so, and South Africa is on the verge of a major catastrophe. It looks as though the president and the NPA do not worry about their actions and how the public are affected as long as self-interest is satisfied. Gordhan must be sitting on a lot of explosive information and let us hope he does not keep quiet but fight the rogues who are trying to destroy the country. We all know that Gordhan is an obstacle to the state looting and state capture.
Total state capture and dictatorship is now inevitable. Economic collapse is inevitable. The president’s behavior in allowing this chaos to continue is indeed a catastrophe and it will get worse. South Africans who believe that Zuma cares for the country are only fooling themselves, it is clear the president does not give a hoot about South Africa. At the end of the day, we must believe that the truth will be told for the sake of our future and the future of our children.
