Court of Public Opinion - definition
Trying cases in the court of public opinion refers to using the news media to influence public support for one side or the other in a court case. This can result in persons outside the justice system (i.e. people other than the judge or jury) taking action for or against a party.
Public Opinion confidence in the legal system of South Africa is concluded as follows:
The findings of the 2012 SASAS suggested that a considerable share of South Africans did not believe that the courts made fair and impartial decisions. Of particular concern were the negative views of the courts held by the young and the socially disadvantaged, since these groups constitute a disproportionately large share of the population. Their characterisation of the criminal courts as prejudiced could have a damaging effect on the legitimacy of the courts. In a context of already middling to poor levels of overall confidence and effectiveness of the courts, this leaves little room for complacency. As important institutions in any liberal democracy, the courts and their representatives need to place a strong and unwavering emphasis on performing their responsibilities in an effective and fair manner. It is only by doing so that they will inspire among the public, a sense of obligation and moral alignment, and a willingness to cooperate and comply with the rule of law.

HERE IS THE ARGUMENT - Armscor released their 2013/2014 annual report and on page 45 the following statement read -
Armscor Annual Report 2013/2014 dated 19th August 2014 (actual date of publication unknown)
New Generation Arms Management (Pty) Ltd (NGAM) NGAM executed an order placed by Armscor. The statutory duties were however not paid over to SARS in terms of the provisions of the order. Armscor had already paid the amount to NGAM. Armscor received a letter of demand from SARS to pay the outstanding amount with SARS, and was also informed that a substantial penalty would be levied in the event that the amount was not paid. Armscor paid the amount outstanding and has instituted legal action against NGAM to recover the amount of approximately R6,1 million. Summons has been issued against NGAM at the Northern Gauteng High Court. The summons was properly served but NGAM did not file a notice of intention to defend. Armscor is proceeding to obtain an order against NGAM. Rheinmetall Denel Munitions (Pty) Ltd

South Africa Living in Cuckoo Land - Part 9

All of these agencies so mentioned are staffed by people who have no idea what they are doing, except to promote evil and to turn the RSA into a deadly cesspool. The Company’s Johan Erasmus and his co- directors had won a tender to supply East Block weapons to SA Special Force via Armscor, the State procurement company notorious for leading discrepancies. After winning the contract, they experienced unprecedented disruption pertaining to the delivery of this contract. Even until today they have been short paid by Armscor, for a small business this represents a death knell!
Due to the sabotage from Armscor’s side and massive breaches of contract, the damages could exceed much more than a billion rand! Erasmus and company delivered. Not only were they short paid by Armscor, Armscor had also failed to pay the import duties on some of the weapons which led to the SA Forces in the Central African Republic (CAR) being outgunned. Armscor was also the creators of a brand new alphabet, the latest delivery as per the Letter of Credit was stated as 30 November 2011. Erasmus and company had delivered the second plane’s cargo on 31 October 2011. A month early! However, Armscor raised penalties for late delivery. After showing to Armscor that November comes after October and not vice versa, Armscor waived the penalties but still insist that such penalties are due.
Not only is Armscor part and parcel of failure as to what happened in the CAR where the South Africans had lost 15 troops, but the officials involved in these weapons being held under SARS control for not paying the moneys due to SARS, should be charged with culpable homicide. Erasmus had written as such to the President, Mr. Jacob Zuma, but nothing seems to have happened.

Maphiyanwha and Smit had set out to tarnish Erasmus and company as Boeremag, an issue Erasmus and co did not take kindly to. This was an old tactic employed by these two despicable louts. Thereafter they roped in Armscor who had been shown up by Erasmus and co, who fabricated stories and sold it to their comrades at SARS in order to destroy Erasmus and co. Upon turning to the courts, Erasmus found that the courts were bending backwards in order to satisfy the criminal behavior of these persons. Upon further delving into these situations, Erasmus and co-found that the remnants of the CCB (Civil Cooperation Bureau) were behind all of this

South Africa - Sins of the Fathers - Part 4
When Armscor lost Arbitration for some R 300 million to an Australian company, the RSA government wants to change international agreements. This certainly bodes ill for the RSA in the International Commercial sphere! Many International companies are stating publicly that they refuse to do business with Armscor or Denel. Both companies belong to the state, and they are active in the Defense Industry. The Intelligence services have been monitoring various companies ‘communications in order to pass their trade secrets on to those two companies. In all of these aspects, the Afrikaners are prevalent. It is clear that there is no leadership amongst the Afrikaners, and this leads to the question as to whether the Afrikaners was nothing else but cannon fodder in order to create the bidding of the same politicians who have now left them in the lurch?
******************************************************************************
Judges, attorneys and advocates have been implicated in these matters. In the matter of NGAM and the missing weapons, the following transpired. Despite the company and its directors ensuring that the weapons so contracted was delivered despite numerous obstacles and breaches of contract from the side of ARMSCOR Ltd, the State-owned procurement arm for the Department of Defense, NGAM delivered on the contact. Till date, Armscor had short paid them by more than R 90 million and growing. True to the corrupt nature of Armscor, they had set out to try and destroy this company. Armscor and SA Special Forces had been working together in order to sabotage NGAM and its directors. Despite NGAM being in possession of valid permits for the importations, as well as permits for the importation of weapons for demonstration to the SANDF, their weapons were confiscated on trumped up allegations that are false. Till today, everything has been done by these people in order to destroy this company. Their outstanding payment is still lingering, despite turning to the courts; these issues remain unresolved. The main reason thereto is clearly to the courts being used as a tool in the hands of these villains.
The Afrikaans judges all set out to delay and thereby frustrate NGAM. The SA Special Forces management under the guidance of the incompetent Brig Genl Maphanwya and Col DBT Smit (Jamie) had taken a decision that NGAM and Johan Erasmus must be destroyed. In this regard they had left the door open for interpretation in that the role of hit men in the RSA are not there for humanitarian reasons, quite the contrary. Their view is that if they cannot succeed, then they would destroy them financially by stealing their contracts and using the courts and their contacts in the financial sector in order to do their bidding.
In this regard, they are ably assisted by a certain Eytan Nevo, who works for BIDVEST but represents an Israeli company and who is stealing the contracts from NGAM in conjunction with individual military officers.
In any other country in the world, such actions of any military personnel will be investigated and dealt with. Not in South Africa. Here they are hell bent on stealing as much as possible. Whilst there is a Commission of Inquiry into the Arms Deal pertaining to the procurement of armament at inflated prices, the real fall out of the actual arms corruption is not being dealt with.

Thursday, June 26, 2014 South Africa - Part 10 - Sins of the Fathers
Griessel and Grobler are indeed only two of these corrupt securocrats behind him. They unleashed SARS (The Revenue Service ) on Erasmus and NGAM, all this whilst Armscor will not be able to stand up to any forensic audit. In their defense, they claim everything is secret! To steal is secret! They are off course only the visible operators. Behind them stands Rudzani Maphanwya, the GOC of SA Special Forces and the retired head of the SA Defense Force, Siphiwe Nyanda. Armscor is mega corrupt.
One has only had to have regard to the history of the company. Stealing has been one of their main aspects. Even the judiciary is beholden to them. They claim to be a strategic asset and therefore they deserve preferential protection from the Courts in the RSA!
This whilst they had been directly implicated in the Helderberg disaster, the plane that crashed in 1987 into the sea off Mauritius, with all hands lost.
The current Chief of the SA Defense Force (SANDF), Genl Shoke, is under the control of Nyanda. Stealing had become an immense business in the RSA. In the Battle of Bangui in CAR in 2013 ( Central African Republic), the South Africans had lost 15 troops. Nothing is heard about this matter. The entire top management of the SANDF should have been charged with culpable homicide in this regard. Especially, as the Intelligence operators, military and civil, had supplied the Headquarters in Pretoria with incorrect information, again due to their incompetence and inherent laziness.
******************************************************************************
The result is what you see today. The South African armed forces are in a state of decline and will take years to fix the mess. There is never a good answer to all the equipment brought into the country via the “ARMS DEAL” way back in the late 1990’s. The deal that cost taxpayers over 30 billion rands. It’s the corruption, fraud and maladministration that is swept under the table.
