Article : Malema puts the record straight

[Mamajyot]

Johannesburg - ANC Youth Leader Julius Malema has spoken out against "misrepresentations and lies" spread through newspapers, and has clarified allegations against him.

The Youth League called a media conference on Monday after media reports that Malema's lavish lifestyle was being bankrolled by lucrative government contracts awarded to companies he has interests in.

The Sunday Times reported that Malema's companies were awarded more than 20 contracts, worth between R500 000 and R39m between 2007 and 2008.

Malema said he was not going to "dignify these misrepresentations and lies" with comment, but said he needed to clarify allegations so that ANC supporters are not fed wrong and misleading information.

Nothing to hide

Malema said he has nothing to hide, and wanted to "put the record straight".

He added that he had resigned from all companies he was involved in when he assumed his position as president of the ANCYL in 2008, and has not been involved in any illegal tender processes.

He pointed out that his property is being financed by a bank loan, and that he owns one car - a Mercedes Benz C63. He also mentioned that his salary is more than R20 000 per month, as reported.

Malema threatened to take legal action over the allegations against him.

The media conference was also used as an opportunity to clarify the ANCYL's policy on the nationalisation of mines.

If this is true, we all owe Julius an apology!

Yeah, sure Its true. Julius I apologize profusely (fingers crossed) and believe all your claims. Now shut up and get out of "business". You are a joke and embarrassment to this country. You and Zuma as well as most of the current ANC corrupt government members.

 

[Jabberwocky]

oh, ok

well I guess that puts the record straight then

 

[Freshy-ZN]

Im loving this. Oh what a wicked web we weave when at first we do deceive.....

He added that he had resigned from all companies he was involved

Resigned as director, but still getting the $$$ as a shareholder.

salary is more than R20 000 per month

20k is surely enough for any aspiring communist.

has not been involved in any illegal tender processes.

But lots of technically legal tenders, which may or may not have benefited from subtle political influence.

Try harder punk.

 

[Creag]

Clearly he thinks we are all morons. To sustain his lifestyle with an pre-tax income of +/- R 20,000 is absurd. Or maybe he knows something about managing money that even the financial experts have yet to discover?

 

[Mamajyot]

Innocent until proven guilty!

Has anyone seen with their own eyes all the evidence that has been built up against Julius?

First see it with your own eyes and then pass judgement on him.

 

[Mamajyot]

He admits he has those objects, so do his YL friends and the ANC.
The say he's not an MP, so it's ok.

In fact, he says that SARS have no business investigating him.
Do some research before posting.

My dear friend, I suggest you do the same and actually read what he said.
He owns 1 car and not multiple vehicles as mentioned in the papers.
He said he owns 1 house which he has a 2mill bond which he got with joint income together with his wife.

His salary is not 20k as reported.

I suggest you do some research before making anal comments to me.

I am not saying he is correct or speaking the truth on this issue. I am just saying crucify him once you have seen the actual evidence with your own eyes.

Also Newspapers and internet site make false accusations and later page 13 corner spot in size 8 apology.

I remember the star headline when hansie accused of match fixing.

Not our hansie.
Indians falsely accuse our captain.
