BREAKING | Former Transnet CEO Siyabonga Gama arrested

He still has political clout it seems so isn't in this batch.
I think it has more to do with evidence than political clout, we already had Bongani Bongo who walked away as well as the North West finance MEC and Lekalakala on that Gupta mobile Clinic thing, and I am honestly not very confident in what the NPA has on Magashule because their case look very shaky with a seemingly unwilling witness sitting in America.

As much as we want to see arrests weak cases built on unreliable witnesses does not help anyone, all it does is to strengthen the political persecution narrative the Zuptoids are preaching about to the masses. The damage being done by failing prosecutions is way more disastrous than seeing Molefe roaming free for a while.

Tbh it's probably both elements.
 
What gets me is they're already out on R250k bail. Normally those arrested on a Friday remain in chookie till their Monday court appearance. Seems like they're still protected.

They have lawyers on retainers. They were probably anticipating it thus, were ready.
 
Whilst I am delighted at this news, I am especially pleased at the arrest of Eric Woody Long.

I think the reason they are not arrested en masse is that the NPA wants to see what it can get out of the first guys like they did with VBS, some will cut deals when it becomes clear that there is no wiggle room.
