JULIUS Malema was put through the wringer by Radio 702′s Redi Direko this morning and he was not convincing.
He said he had documentary evidence that he was no longer a shareholder in companies benefitting from government tenders, but said he would not produce the documentation unless asked to do so by the ANC or the South African Revenue Services.
Redi produced documentation which showed that he was still involved in several companies. Malema said the companies register might not have been updated.
“Why is this issue not before the law enforcement agencies?”
Earlier Malema said he did not have to account for anything to journalists.
Some quotes:
“I will never be locked up in this country because I have never done anything wrong.”
“I am not an active shareholder.”
“It’s my constitutional right … to participate in business.”
His defence leaves the door open for a second defence in the event that it is shown he is still an active shareholder. He will then claim that he has always defended his “constitutional right” to participate in business.

He wouldn’t have got that business if he weren’t in the ANC.

You think the leader of the COPE YL would have this success? No.

Malema got rich through political influence. He’s corrupt. He should resign.

We so much want to believe you comrade but with these contradicting statements it would be best if you get audited.

What gets me is his defence that he got a loan for that Sandown property and the money is being deducted from his ANCYL salary.

Even assuming the Star got his salary wrong, Vavi was slammed for being a “red wine communist” back when his salary went up to R500k a year.

Malema would have to be earning more than that after tax as a mouthpiece to the ANCYL who was put there by the unpantsed putsch.

What a Banana Republic, even Mr. Jacob “funny” Zuma continue with his shenanigan by engaging in camaraderie at the expense of the masses by protecting one of his own (Malema).

Where is South Africa heading? I see the country being wiped away by perfect storm of corruption and musk to the failed African state same as others.

Let them enjoy while it last. I hope next in the throne is taking notes
