BREAKING: Zuma interdicts Public Protector Thuli Mandonsela

Zuma is just unreal, he is quite happy to destroy this country in his own selfish interest.

There's nothing unreal about that, there are plenty of living examples of leaders who are just the same.
 
Can he do this ?

I thought that the whole idea of a PP was the independence of the position.

Good test for the next incumbent. We'll all know where they stand early on.

Yeah, I'm a bit worried about the incoming PP.

If the DA's concerns are correct then she could turn out to be a Zuma Protector instead of a Public Protector.

Agreed.
I don't think zuma will make the same mistake as he did with Thuli.
 
Hello Des

BREAKING: Des van Rooyen also seeks to interdict Madonsela

Cape Town – Minister of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs Des van Rooyen is also bringing a court application to halt the release of outgoing Public Protector Thuli Madonsela’s report on state capture.

Madonsela vacates her office on Friday and was set to release her long-awaited report on her last day in office. But it now seems unlikely that Madonsela will release her report before she leaves office.

Van Rooyen’s application comes after President Jacob Zuma had applied to the North Gauteng High Court to have Madonsela’s report interdicted.

Van Rooyen’s application, that challenges the powers of the public protector to summons him to answer certain questions, will be heard by the same court on Friday at 10:00. Zuma’s application will be heard on Tuesday.

Van Rooyen - a former mayor and ANC MP - was appointed finance minister by Zuma in December last year in place of Nhlanhla Nene – a move that wiped R500bn off the value of South African assets.

He lasted four days in the job before he was replaced by Pravin Gordhan.

Deputy finance minister Mcebisi Jonas is on record as saying that he was offered Nene’s position by the Gupta family.

Public should divert some tax money to start building a new jail, maybe in Upington, with glass ceilings and no aircon, for all these folks.

So she leaves pretty much on the same note that has become the hall mark of her 7 year long career as PP. Ineffective, late and depending on the public and opposition parties to stand up for her.

Ineffective? her nKandla report was one of the main reasons there was a groundswell shift that resulted in the changes in municipal elections...
 
The rats are getting desperate...

I have been told of a certain sea snake which has a very unusual method of attracting its prey. It will lie at the bottom of the ocean as if wounded. Then its enemies will approach, and yet it will lie quite still. And then its enemies will take little bites of it, and yet it remains still
