I still don't understand why they should declare things they don't own as theirs, what's up with that? If a friend gives you access to use their house you have to declare it as your own?

This is how corruption is allowed to fester. Politicians hide their loot behind friends and family. It's all theirs in everything except in name. That's why they are given "exclusive use". Like how Zuma his behind Duduzane and a bunch of others.

In all seriousness this cannot be allowed to continue. If anything it needs to be tightened. If you regularly use something then it needs to be declared, and then investigated. Politicians must be held to a higher standard due to their positions of power and influence...

I don't have a problem with all that, but on the form it clearly say ownership, which is a totally different thing to regular use.

Oh you are arguing about this from a legal stand point rather than a moral one, ok.

Believe it or not, when we hold them accountable, we can only do that according to the rules and the law, not our feelings.

So when Mashatile is found to have not declared the diamond, it is according to the rules of parliament, not your morals or mine.

No doubt but from your original post there was no way for me to tell that you were arguing about it from a legal stand point rather than a moral one. You will note i wasn't the only one who thought otherwise.

Hmmmm interesting..

I'm intrigued by bailing out a private entity like this.

Do note how the poster does not post the details of the bailout, somewhere in there he rambles something unintelligible about the UIF.

But asking questions and gullible people doesn't go well together.

Which is why I'm intrigued by it at this point..

Would I be surprised if it has happened, no because we know the anc are a criminal mafia, but I'd want to see something beyond a twit about it.

Assuming such a story even exists in the first place, it probably does since the top trick is to always base your lies on the truth, I would guess since he mentioned UIF it's probably the TERS thing that any company could apply for.
