A whirlwind of allegations against Jacob Zuma isn't new. But this time, the president's reaction is alien. Has JZ been undone by 'The President's Keepers'? In any other country in the developed world, the revalations from the Jacques Pauw book The President’s Keepers would have toppled the respective leader by now. However, this is Jacob Zuma we are talking about. The man needs scandal like we all need oxygen. He has made a living off of cronyism, corruption, money laundering and flouting the rules set for a President. JZ, so famous for chuckling off stinging accusations, hasn’t been laughing this time. It seems like Pauw, a veteran of investigative journalism, has turned over a few stones even Zuma thought would never be discovered. The allegations that have been levelled against him are the most explosive yet: What does The President’s Keepers accuse Zuma of doing? 1. Jacob Zuma paid no tax in his first term. The warning signs were there right from the very start. Jacob Zuma is no saint. Hell, calling him a sinner doesn’t really cut it these days. The President’s Keepers alleges that Zuma failed to pay any tax at all in his first five years in office, managing to go a whole presidential term without making any contribution to SARS. The VIP Tax Unit had to beg the President to start paying, fearing that public knowledge of the situation would create a backlash against their organisation. 2. Zuma pocketed an illegal R1m-a-month as president. He really did start as he meant to go on. But yes, for the first four months as leader, Jacob Zuma was still taking a wage from a private security company. It’s illegal (see ‘conflict of interest’) for a president to do this. But at least he was thoughtful enough to withhold all this information from SARS. They must love him… 3. The Guptas ‘offer business deals’ to Politicians’ children. Whenever you picture the Guptas, it’s hard to see them without a dull-coating of slime. The shifty kingmakers really do know a thing or two about operating in the shadows, and the way they won politicans over is as creepy as it gets. Pauw details just how the Gupta brothers ‘groomed’ the young adults for business: “This is an old ploy of the Guptas: to dish out benevolence and generosity to the children of those they wish to capture. In much the same way that Duduzane Zuma was captured, the e-mails suggest that Ace Magashule’s sons were similarly primed to become Gupta intermediaries. Tshepiso Magashule started working for the Guptas as a consultant in November 2010. The year after Duduzane was brought into the Gupta fold. Tshepiso was getting R90,000 a month. Both he and Magashule’s other son, Thato, were treated to an eight-day stay at the super-luxurious Oberoi Hotel in Dubai. This was paid for by Gupta company Sahara.” 4. NDZ leadership campaign is funded by corrupt cigarette company. Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma might need to revise her judgement of character here. She has allowed a business relationship to form between herself and Adriano Mazzotti, a cigarette manufacturer who is up to his eyeballs in corruption. Dlamini-Zuma says she has no problem working with Mazzotti, as he’s ‘never been convicted’. But all of us who’ve ever heard of state capture know that you don’t have to be a convict to be a criminal. Mr Mazzotti admitted in 2014 his company Carnilinx are complicit in fraud, money laundering and tax evasion. The big three! Yet the presidential hopeful still accepted campaign donations and merchandising deals from the fraudulent outfit. 5. Tobacco Smugglers line Ed Zuma’s pockets for ‘his influence’ Yusuf Kajee is an alleged tobacco smuggler. Him and his two business partners gave Jacob’s son Edward Zuma cushty five-figure payments every month for a few years. They wanted to use his position of privilege to facilitate business deals in SA. Both parties also fraternised with Lloyd Hill, a notorious name in the Durban underworld. We’re not sure if Edward Zuma really is all that influential. However, we have seen him ‘under the influence’ before. 6. The R1bn network of corrupt spies. Jacques Pauw claims that over R1 billion of taxpayer money was pissed away on a bent intelligence programme called the Principal Agent Network (PAN). The President’s Keeper alleges that the State Security Agency (SSA) splashed money on a department chocked full of corruption and wasteful expenditure. 7. Jacques Pauw reveals ‘SARS Capture’ Jacob Zuma’s good friend Tom Moyane got the top job at SARS. But he didn’t use his power wisely or responsibly. He ousted fellow senior colleagues Ivan Pillay and Johann van Loggerenberg by framing them for financial wrongdoing. Investigations into high-level fraudsters and (cough) cigarette smugglers – yes, the same ones linked to Zuma’s ex-wife and children – were eventually brought to a halt by Moyane. He can certainly count himself a lifetime fixture on the President’s Christmas Card List. 8. The President employed criminals to catch criminals. As Jacques Pauw reveals, it seems like Jacob Zuma likes his law enforcement heads to be just as morally dubious as he is. Just look at the appointments he’s made over the years: All of these people have allegations or evidence of criminal activity against them. Richard Mdluli, ex-Crime Intelligence boss Nomgcobo Jiba, ex-Deputy Prosecutions head Lawrence Mrwebi, ex-Commercialised Crime Unit head Berning Ntlemeza, ex-Hawks chief. 9. Zuma has failed to pay back multiple debts and loans. Whether it’s for Nkandla, state capture, or the sheer cost to the taxpayer of his own legal fees, one thing is always asked of Jacob Zuma: Pay back the money. However, he never does, and he has good form for squirming his way out of paying back his fair share. The President’s Keepers exposes JZ as a kamikaze financial manager; he took high risk loans and opened multiple bank accounts, in spite of his poor debt record. 10. The new Energy Minister has been trying to spy on Julius Malema. In this business, you keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. David Mahlobo, SA’s new Energy Minister who is determined to plunge us into a new nuclear programme, allegedly asked our favourite corrupt cigarette barron – Adriano Mazzotti – to spy on EFF Leader Julius Malema a few years ago. As revealed by The President’s Keepers, Mazzotti agreed to do this. But only because he wanted to ‘play both sides’. He really does belong in politics, doesn’t he? PDF Download.

Address Holiday Card List Book & Tracker, Christmas Cards Keeper and Organizer for Ten Year (Send & Receive) Jacob Zuma’s corruption scandals are getting South Africans to read again. South Africa’s small literary market has been lifted by one of the country’s largest political scandals. A new book detailing the “cancerous cabal” that has bankrolled Jacob Zuma’s presidency was bound to cause a sensation, but attempts to have the book banned have made it a rapid best- seller and possibly the country’s most bootlegged book. In The President’s Keepers investigative journalist Jacques Pauw exposes the shadowy underworld that has allegedly kept Zuma in power. One of those keepers is a security mogul who allegedly paid the sitting president a monthly salary of 1 million rand (about $70,000 a month). The paper trail emerged because it also seems the first citizen failed to pay his taxes. Painting the picture of a man who seems more mobster than statesman, the book tells the story of the close relationship between the president and a notorious gangster who has miraculously avoided prison.

  • The Guptas, the Public Protector's Report and Capital Accumulation In
    The Guptas, the Public Protector’s Report and Capital Accumulation in South Africa Ashwin Desai Goolam Vahed Abstract The relationship between South African President Jacob Zuma and his family, and the Guptas, possibly the richest family of Indian origin at present in South Africa, has made persistent national and increasingly international headlines in the media over the past few years. The Gupta family, who arrived in South Africa from India just prior to the country’s first non-racial democratic elec- tions in 1994, are accused of colluding with Zuma in the removal and appoint- ment of government ministers, as well as the directors of State-Owned Enter- prises (SOEs) in order to secure lucrative state contracts. This article examines the allegedly corrupt relationship between the Zumas and the Guptas to probe key issues in post-apartheid South African society: corruption, state capture, inequality, class formation, Black Economic Empowerment, and White Mono- poly Capital. It argues that corruption has negative consequences such as creat- ing despondency amongst the populace leading to capital flight and creating the possibilities for state capture as well as further deepening inequality. Keywords: Apartheid, Gupta, Zuma, Black Economic Empowerment, White Monopoly Capital, Social Cohesion The lexicon of South African English has been constantly transformed by the inclusion of words from the Afrikaans language, and phrases from the Indian sub- continent, as well as by some words and phrases from local African languages.

  • South Africa's Anti-Corruption Bodies
    Protecting the public or politically compromised? South Africa’s anti-corruption bodies Judith February The National Prosecuting Authority and the Public Protector were intended to operate in the interests of the law and good governance but have they, in fact, fulfilled this role? This report examines how the two institutions have operated in the country’s politically charged environment. With South Africa’s president given the authority to appoint key personnel, and with a political drive to do so, the two bodies have at times become embroiled in political intrigues and have been beholden to political interests.

  • Bosasa Executives Privy to Sensitive Details of NPA Case Against Them
    24 January 2019 Zondo Commission: Bosasa executives privy to sensitive details of NPA case against them Bosasa CEO Gavin Watson allegedly boasted about playing puppeteer with former president Jacob Zuma to his colleague Angelo Agrizzi and former commissioner of the Department of Correctional Services (DCS) Linda Mti. He also told the pair that he knows of a particular approach he has to use with the president to get him to listen, and act. The commission of inquiry into state capture heard on Thursday an audio recording, which Agrizzi said he made during a 2015 meeting between himself and the two men. In the audio, a distinction between three different voices - all male - can be made. For the most part it features the person identified by Agrizzi as Watson, talking about the details of the politics within the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) at the time, particularly with regard to the DCS tender corruption case against Bosasa. He also seems to express his frustrations with the status of the case, which seemed to have gone away at some point in the past. Bosasa directors, including Watson and Agrizzi, as well as Mti and former DCS chief financial officer Patrick Gillingham featured in the potential prosecution. The man further singles out then senior prosecutor for the NPA Glynnis Breytenbach as being the reason why the case would not go away, because she was obsessed with discrediting Bosasa in the media. He talks of plans to bring Zuma up to speed with all this information, to show him who cannot be trusted within the NPA.

  • 12-Politcsweb-Going-Off-The-Rails
    http://www.politicsweb.co.za/documents/going-off-the-rails--irr Going off the rails - IRR John Kane-Berman - IRR | 02 November 2016 John Kane-Berman on the slide towards the lawless South African state GOING OFF THE RAILS: THE SLIDE TOWARDS THE LAWLESS SOUTH AFRICAN STATE SETTING THE SCENE South Africa is widely recognised as a lawless country. It is also a country run by a government which has itself become increasingly lawless. This is so despite all the commitments to legality set out in the Constitution. Not only is the post–apartheid South Africa founded upon the principle of legality, but courts whose independence is guaranteed are vested with the power to ensure that these principles are upheld. Prosecuting authorities are enjoined to exercise their functions “without fear, favour, or prejudice”. The same duty is laid upon other institutions established by the Constitution, among them the public protector and the auditor general. Everyone is endowed with the right to “equal protection and benefit of the law”. We are all also entitled to “administrative action that is lawful, reasonable, and procedurally fair”. Unlike the old South Africa – no doubt because of it – the new Rechtsstaat was one where the rule of law would be supreme, power would be limited, and the courts would have the final say. This edifice, and these ideals, are under threat. Lawlessness on the part of the state and those who run it is on the increase. The culprits run from the president down to clerks of the court, from directors general to immigration officials, from municipal managers to prison warders, from police generals to police constables, from cabinet ministers to petty bureaucrats.

  • Namibian Influence, Impacts on Education, and State Capture
    THE EFFECTS OF COLONIZATION AND APARTHEID ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOUTH AFRICA: NAMIBIAN INFLUENCE, IMPACTS ON EDUCATION, AND STATE CAPTURE by Austin Michael Hutchinson A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Government Baltimore, Maryland May 2021 © 2021 Austin Hutchinson All Rights Reserved Abstract When discussing South Africa, apartheid is the most common topic that people remember. The legacies and institutional framework that apartheid established are still prevalent in the current state of development in South Africa. This work examines three prominent issues hindering the development of the South African nation. Understanding the narrative history of colonization and apartheid allows for a more comprehensive view on the current development of South Africa. Using colonial records, court rulings, journals, news articles among various other sources across the topics mentioned, a narrative is created that explains the current problems facing South Africa and Namibia. Namibia endured colonial rule from three different oppressors but was initially claimed by Germany and named German South West Africa. Although Namibia and South Africa were merged under one rule for nearly a century beginning in 1915, each nation had divergent paths to independence. Namibia eventually gained its independence in 1990, a few years prior to South Africa, which gained its own independence from apartheid rule in 1994. As a result of colonization and apartheid in South Africa, certain ideals which hindered the progression of the South African people remained, including inequities in the education system. Furthermore, some of the pervasive systems established under the apartheid regime led to failures in the accountability mechanisms which resulted in institutional weakness and state capture in South Africa.

  • Ramaphosa Fires Jiba, Mrwebi
    26 April 2019 Zondo Commission – Ramaphosa fires Jiba, Mrwebi Nomgcobo Jiba and Lawrence Mrwebi have been sent packing from the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) by President Cyril Ramaphosa, on the recommendation of retired Constitutional Court Justice Yvonne Mokgoro, who oversaw a commission of inquiry that sought to determine the pair’s fitness for office. Jiba was a deputy national director of public prosecutions (DNDPP), which made her the second in command within the NPA, while Mrwebi was the head of the NPA’s special commercial crimes unit. When their new boss, NDPP Shamila Batohi, took office in January this year, the pair had been on suspension for three months, pending the findings of the inquiry. Their names have also featured in stinging allegations in the oral evidence of several witnesses before the commission of inquiry into state capture, chaired by Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo. Bosasa cash-for-info scheme Former Bosasa chief operations officer Angelo Agrizzi’s testimony in January this year implicated both Jiba and Mrwebi in a cash-for-information scheme that involved compromising the NPA’s corruption case against the facilities management company. According to Agrizzi, Bosasa paid the two to leak any and all information related to a corruption case brought forward by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU), so that the company could know the case’s progress within the NPA at any given time. The facilitator of this arrangement was former national commissioner of the Department of Correctional Services, Linda Mti, who was himself implicated in the SIU investigation as having played a role in the irregular processes of awarding Bosasa a number of contracts over a period of several years.
