Nature of the Offense All the defendants, with divers other persons, during a period of years from 2003, when their relationship with the Jacob Zuma entered into participation of a criminal enterprise which participated as leaders, organizers, instigators, or accomplices in the formulation or execution of a common plan or conspiracy to commit, or which involved the commission of, Crimes which fall within the Gambit of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA, as defined in FCPA federal legislation, and, in accordance with the provisions of the FCPA Statute, are individually responsible jointly or Severally for their own acts and for all acts committed by any persons in the execution of such plan or conspiracy. 2. In our encapsulated Submission we will prove beyond a reasonable doubt, a prima facia case, which will be based on High Court Records, Public Records that on the basis of the Merits, that the Attorney General of the United States should conduct an investigation in which upon review of all presented before him, proceed with an indictment of all those names, in the interests of justice as no one is above the law. When domestic laws fail, then International laws or the threads of international law should apply. 3. Corporate bribery is bad business. In our free market system, it is basic that the sale of products should take place on the basis of price, quality, and service. 4 Page 5 4. Corporate bribery is fundamentally destructive of this basic tenet. Corporate bribery of foreign officials takes place primarily to assist corporations in gaining business. Thus, foreign corporate bribery affects the very stability of overseas business. 5. Corruption is a global problem. In the three decades since Congress enacted the FCPA, the extent of corporate bribery has become clearer and its ramifications in a transnational economy starker. 6. Corruption impedes economic growth by diverting public resources from important priorities such as health, education, and infrastructure. It undermines democratic values and public accountability and weakens the rule of law. 7. It threatens stability and security by facilitating criminal activity within and across borders, such as the illegal trafficking of people, weapons, and drugs. 8. International corruption also undercuts good governance and impedes U.S. efforts to promote freedom and democracy, end poverty, and combat crime and terrorism across the globe. 9. Corruption is also bad for business. Corruption is anti-competitive, leading to distorted prices and disadvantaging honest businesses that do not pay bribes. It increases the cost of doing business globally and inflates the cost of government contracts in developing countries. 10. Bribery thus raises the risks of doing business, putting a company’s bottom line and reputation in jeopardy. Companies that pay bribes to win business ultimately undermine their own long-term interests and the best interests of their investors. 11. In 1998, the FCPA was amended to conform to the requirements of the Anti- Bribery Convention. These amendments expanded the FCPA’s scope to: (1) include payments made to secure “any improper advantage”; (2) reach certain foreign persons who commit an act in furtherance of a foreign bribe while in the United States; (3) cover public international organizations in the definition of “foreign official”; (4) add an alternative basis for jurisdiction based on nationality; and (5) apply criminal penalties to foreign nationals employed by or acting as agents of U.S. companies.20 The Anti-Bribery Convention came into force on February 15, 1999, with the United States as a founding party.

ADV LEAH GCABSHE SC: Mr Chair – Chairman you know that you keep us very busy doing back office work and the Vrede Dairy matter which is the one that is before you today. 10 CHAIRPERSON: Yes. ADV LEAH GCABSHE SC: Is like an octopus with a million tentacles so we have been keeping busy. CHAIRPERSON: Yes, no that is fine. Thank you. ADV LEAH GCABSHE SC: Chairman just as a preliminary point I do know that a couple of implicated parties’ legal representatives are here. I do not know if you simply want me to place them on record by telling you who they are or if you would prefer them to come up and place themselves on record. CHAIRPERSON: I think they should come up and place themselves on 20 record if the intention is for them to be on record but sometimes they just want to be present informally and not formally. Maybe I should say those who wish to place themselves on record should come up and do so. So that gives a chance to those who do not want to be placed on record formally to just sit there informally. Okay thank you. ADV LEAH GCABSHE SC: Thank you Chairman.

  • The Impact of Perceived Ethical Leadership on Employees' Predisposition to Behave Ethically: a Case Study Within a South Afric
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by South East Academic Libraries System (SEALS) THE IMPACT OF PERCEIVED ETHICAL LEADERSHIP ON EMPLOYEES’ PREDISPOSITION TO BEHAVE ETHICALLY: A CASE STUDY WITHIN A SOUTH AFRICAN-BASED FINANCIAL INSTITUTION BY Rudzani Magau 216790034 Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree: MASTER IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION In the Faculty of Business and Economic Sciences at the Nelson Mandela University Supervisor: Dr B. Robinson April 2019 DECLARATION BY CANDIDATE NAME : Magau Rudzani STUDENT NUMBER : 216790034 QUALIFICATION : Master in Business Administration TITLE OF PROJECT : The impact of perceived ethical leadership on employees’ predisposition to behave ethically: A case study within a South African-based financial institution. DECLARATION: In accordance with Rule G5.6.3, I hereby declare that the above-mentioned treatise is my own work and that it has not previously been submitted for assessment to another University or for another qualification. SIGNATURE : DATE : 31 January 2019 2019 – Magau R – Nelson Mandela University – MBA I ABSTRACT Ethical leaders consistently set ethical principles within the institution and act in accordance with them; hence, leaders should be a key source of ethical guidance for employees. As the business world is constantly evolving, leaders increasingly are required to ethically lead across different sectors. Current literature on ethical leadership and its influence of employees reflects mostly a Western, European and Asian-based private-sector perspective, pointing toward a compliance-oriented understanding of ethical and unethical leadership. This study examined how perceived ethical orientation of a leader has an impact on employees’ predisposition to behave ethically within a South African context.

  • NO ROOM to HIDE a President Caught in the Act
    NO ROOM TO HIDE A President caught in the act “Real leaders must be ready to sacrifice all for the freedom of their people.” - Nelson Mandela A document by the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA) “No room to hide: A President caught in the act” A document by the 28 June 2017 Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA) Foreword Over the past few years, various formal attempts have been made to remove Jacob Zuma from his position as the President of South Africa, through Parliamentary motions of no confidence and debates within the ANC’s National Executive Committee (NEC) structures. OUTA believes that significant and sufficient input has been provided on President Zuma’s questionable conduct - be it various investigative media reports and the recent Public Protector’s reports on Nkandla and State Capture - to warrant his removal. President Zuma’s supporters on the other hand, have often claimed insufficient evidence against him at the time when Members of Parliament or the ANC’s NEC were asked to vote or decide on his removal. Normally in democratic societies where good governance prevails and those in authority are expected to act in the interests of the people, it takes just one of the incidents or events presented in this document to be sufficient cause to remove a sitting president from power. For some unexplained reason, the removal of President Zuma requires far more compelling evidence to convince those in authority to act in the interests of the country. This document provides the links and detail in a range of compelling cases against Zuma.
