Its a subtle way of saying Zuma and his cronies don't have much money left that they can easily access to pay for the buses and supporters.

Exactly. And thus my hope that this shyte is biting him in the ass and for all his years of allowing state capture and looting, the idiot was so dumb he didn't actually take much for himself.

I think he was more interested in power.

Just need to take Nkandla away from him and I will believe in miracles.

He has plenty of money. Nothing is going to happen to him either.

I will disagree with you. I read an article from the political journalist Max du Preez some time back. One sentence read like this: " Zuma is broke and the Gupta's are not taking his calls anymore".

yes, he will have a fair amount from pension and money for his wives, but he aint wealthy.

What happened to those Gupta roaches? Are they still infesting Dubai?

You'll then be very surprised one day if it all comes out.

It still stresses him and runs his funds down. A part win.
Jokes on us: he's living off his former presidents allowance and benefits. And with the beans he can spill I doubts he stresses much about lifting a finger whilst others in the ANC dance to protect him.

Talk about a man having lots of beans to spill, I thought the spy BS was all he had and we were moving on?

Zuma is already being sued for defamation for the beans he has spilled thus far....

After 10+ years of him threatening to spill beans, I would say its a safe bet that he has fsck all beans to actually spill that are in any way shape or form verifiable, or even true.

Its clear that there's still a good few Zuptoids in positions of influence in the ANC, and he's bound to have some dirt on them, but I think he's holding that because he's unsure of the outcome should he rat on them.

This trial will last until his life expires.

The real question do we at all think he would see a day in prison even if found guilty ? It will be a slap on the wrist/down payment on debt so stretched out that it would still be due long after he is dead.

Any dirt he may have on them would probably implicate him, so I doubt that these threats would ever materialise into anything...

100% this. I don't think he has anything on anyone that doesn't end up with him in jail or a bullet in the head...

I really must find an article I bookmarked at work.

Zuma hated every second of being at the Zondo commission. He is going to have to go back soon as well.

I think, what we need to realise, is that for someone who once thought he ruled every facet of government, him losing power, and then going on trial, is incredibly humiliating for him.

For example, by all accounts, Robert Mugabe died a very, very bitter old man.

Zuma will be the same. A power hungry man who has now been reduced to finding money to defend himself from prison.

Some have said he has loads of money. Tell me when a proud "Zulu Chief " would ever post he had to sell hats and socks....
