Aurora director Khulubuse Zuma could not testify in the Pamodzi Gold mine liquidation hearings because he was suffering from obesity and ill-health, according to reports on Friday.

Zuma, a nephew of President Jacob Zuma, said he could not give evidence because he had one kidney and suffered from a heart condition due to his obesity, according to Beeld and Business Report.


This was what his lawyer told the insolvency hearing, held before the Master of the North Gauteng High Court, which was subsequently postponed.


One of Pamodzi Gold's joint liquidators, Johan Engelbrecht, was quoted as saying: "I am furious. After going through all the expense of organising a translator, why do they not tell us in advance that they will not testify because of obesity? This is a delaying tactic."

Beeld said this was the second postponement - the first was because Zuma refused to testify in English and had demanded a translator.

Earlier this week, Business Report said the politically connected directors of Aurora Empowerment Systems had turned to the high court to challenge a demand by the liquidators that they produce company financial records.


Aurora managing director Zondwa Mandela, a grandson of former president Nelson Mandela, and Aurora chairperson Zuma as well as four other Aurora directors are challenging the demand in the high court in Pretoria.

Aurora was singled out as the preferred bidder for Pamodzi's mines when they went into liquidation in 2009.


But it has since had its management contract cancelled and vacated the premises.

Aurora has been accused of destroying infrastructure at the mines and causing the loss of more than 5 300 jobs.


Trade union Solidarity brought an application to have Aurora liquidated as part of its claim for R3.1m in unpaid wages to workers at the two mines.

Crock of horsemanure...

The judge should tell the defending attorney to stick it, and that if his client doesn't appear in court at the specified time for the case he will be charged with being in contempt of court (or whatever else they can)...
 
If he was living in England he'd get some fat welfare cheques for being a fat fsck.

Any comments from Vavi on this one?
 
I'm not allowed to wish that people would die.
I wish on all of them, all the fried food that they can consume. HAve a great fat lifestyle.
 
If the prosecutors can find him doing other activities suc as being able to "attend" a party or bar. then it should be found that his fat arse is fit enough to attend to testify.

whether or not his arse will fit in the chair that is a different story
 
I actually wish the Judges in this country had the power to tell an attorney to get knotted in this respect.....

This is more than clearly a delaying tactic, as was his request for a translator initially (he can speak better english than most of us)...
 
Make him sit his fat arse down. Obesity is not a disorder FFS and people need to stop tip-toeing around it.
 
i find it weird how, whenever a polititian, or tendrepeneur gets into trouble, they develop some disease, just a pity its not asspoundedjailinitis
 
All they need to do is get an extra sturdy chair for him. Other than that, no reason he cant attend court.

Except for the fact that he is clearly above the law.

Viva ANC! Viva!
 
Strange that he's too fat to testify when he wasn't too fat to rape a company.

That's why they have benches in court. :D
 
Disgusting. They grabbed the mine, emptied its coffers and can't meet their commitments, so now they're running for the hills. Therein lies the real reason for Mad-bucket's nationalization demands, so his fatcat buddies get a "get-out-of-jail-free" card. This obese crook should be dragged into court kicking and screaming in whichever language he chooses!

Don't think their figures would allow them to do this ;)
 
How sick does he look to you?
