The watch cost R250 000 not R25000a wheelchair for you - a ferrari for me
a donation to your church - a R75k holiday for me
a food parcel for you - a R25k watch for me
now that squares it all.
I feel the time has come to deprive Julius Malema of publicity.
Ok, so a few points I would like to raise:
1. If the trust fund was indeed set up for charitable purposes, this should be stated on the trust deed. It's simple, pull the trust papers to see what they reflect. The trust is however extremely suspect that his son and mother are the beneficiaries of the trust. If they are, then surely they have a legal claim against the trust. Anyone here able to clarify this for us? I don't know much around the laws governing trust funds. Also, who are the trustees? In the case of a trust being set up for charitable purposes, I presume there should be more than 1 trustee? For the sake of good governance, some of the trustees should not have political ties.
2. Using the Access to Information Act, the media should get the list of the people/organisations that supposedly received donations from this trust and get confirmation directly from them.
3. What about the claims of Malema receiving cars as gifts? If it can be proved that he accepted a car as a gift, there is a solid case there already.
It is going to be very disconcerting if all this gets swept under the carpet.
