Mystery around Mmusi Maimane and 'his' R3.85m Claremont house

[ProfA]

No wonder the DA is in shambles as of late. The leader cant even fill in a simple asset register correctly.

 

[Nerfherder]

I just had a quick look online, did not see many over 20k and the 15k one was pretty nice.

The thing is - he says Claremont but its probably lower Bishops Court. The address is probably Claremont but I doubt its the side next to the m5.

This makes a lot of sense now - I thought I saw Musi dropping off a kid at my daughters school the other day.

This is probably a non-story

 

[redspark]

No surprises there. Politicians being politicians.

 

[access]

does he do this personally or does someone else do this for him

 

[saturnz]

No one:

exactly, you could get R25 000pm on R4m from a fixed deposit

 

[MidnightWizard]

Nonsense. Her leaving the party was the start of the sinking ship.

Nope
Who was the one that groomed Maimane for the top job and pretty much got him installed ?
How long ago was that ?
What happened subsequently ?
What happened during elections 2019 ?
What is happening to the DA currently ?

The "sinking-ship" / "ANC-Lite" happened under ZILLE's watch !

"The facts in this matter are as follows:

• I currently reside in the house referred to along with my family, and have done so since 2017;
• I do not own the house. Rather it is owned by a company of which a family friend, Mr Wessel Jacobs, is the sole director;
• I rent the house from this company, and have done so since 2017;
• I declared the house in question in my Declaration of Members’ Interests in both 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 as I believed I was required to as a Member of Parliament. This was in order to be above board in the event of any scrutiny;
• It now appears that I was not required to declare a home I am renting, therefore I over-declared the property in my Declaration of Members’ Interests;
• Sunday’s story is regrettable in that it has placed my family at risk by plastering images of the house on the front page of a national newspaper, as well as indicating how anyone can source the address.

"I had initially taken the decision to move from the parliamentary village in Acacia Park due to threats against my family and me, including intimidation and death threats."

So the parliamentary village with all its security etc is safe for everyone else but Maimane?

The timing - death threats in 2017 result in the family friend buying a house for Maimane and then he 'rents' it from him?

He is so stupid he doesn't understand how the member's interests list is supposed to work?

And there is no story here? None?

What undue gain is he getting?

The hard-on you have for Maimane is actually pathetic.

Mmusi Maimane : "We must consider the implication on the poor and fight for the poor. Now excuse me, I've forgotten if I own or rent this R3million house."

The propensity for people to overlook, ignore and excuse DA corruption is pathetic. The ANC are not the only politicians doing us harm in this country.

Where is the corruption, other than in your head?

Like many others have asked, what would he achieve by overstating his assets?

if there is nothing to hide, why is he hiding it?

Hey, this is a lovely piece of fiction you wrote.

But I'm more into science-fiction.

Maybe it was an honest mistake.

His kid goes to Rustenburg junior.

In Newlands/Claremont, a 3 mil house is bottom of the range.

Politicians never make 'honest' anything.

I know this - that's my price range
