MP wants president quizzed over ‘misuse’ of state cash

[ToxicBunny]

I don't think suspending him takes the matter of the table, but if I was in their position I would have allowed him to have his say, then dismiss his RET behind back to KZN for a totally unrelated matter that will arise out of nowhere at a later stage.

I suppose we'll have to see if it carries on being tabled or they attempt to quietly ignore it...

But yeah, at the end of the day there were other ways to make this go away instead of suspending him.

Impressive... this could backfire horribly on the RET faction if they actualyl do more than scratch the surface.

**CAVEAT**
Though it is IOL, so it could be all bollocks.

Desperate times. We always go back to rosy days of 1994 when life was good for everyone, everything was working, tomatoes were penny a dozen - till the apartheid came in via ANC.

Nice trade hey? Dompas/Voting rights for a destroyed country.

Rosy indeed...shem.

I thought EFF had only Mpofu as a lawyer and I mean in the leadership. This is news. EFF seems to earn lot of money lawyering. Interesting.

Dirks' legal strategy was being spearheaded by former EFF secretary-general Godrich Gardee.

Another one who grossly underestimates the extent of capture the WMC puppet has on all spheres of the state.

He must be confusing Cyril with that amateur from Nkandla.

I wonder why hmmmmm? Gravy pot running low is it?

Probably he is thinking it is same as hlaudi motsoeneng. We should applaud efforts as Hlengwa can be confusing with Hlaudi - both start with H.

Thanks, it will interesting to hear what was before first statement. Second statement "in this case" suggests that first statement could have been like "It has been alleged that investigations will reveal..." ?






Chill guys. I am generously paid for my posts so don't come up with your snarky comments.

Mervyn Dirks – a hero who put the nation first

OPINION: The ANC should have left the matter to Hlengwa to make a determination. Dirks should not have been punished as this has triggered many questions. Affording Ramaphosa the opportunity to explain himself looks ideal to me, writes Professor Bheki Mngomezulu.

Ex-Scopa chair Khoza slams Shelembe, Dirks at Zondo Commission | Witness

Former Msunduzi deputy mayor, Makhosi Khoza, on Thursday ruffled feathers in her testimony to the Zondo Commission of inquiry into state capture by dragging the names of two prominent Pietermaritzburg ANC members into the web of corruption being probed by the commission.

www.news24.com

She told the commission that one of the ANC’s Zuma supporters in the National Assembly, former Msunduzi councillor Mervyn Dirks, had made it clear to her that her decision to follow her conscience contrary to the ANC leadership’s directive, was unacceptable. In her evidence she said Dirks had “a serious bone to pick with me”.

In her affidavit she quoted a social media post by Dirks which said, “All of us must submit to the ANC position before we can attend any portfolio committee meeting as ANC MPs. We cannot have an ANC study group position called Conscience when we go to portfolio committee meetings”.

Looks like something is going to come back to haunt our hero.
