The South African Supreme Court of Appeal today found in my favour in a case about exchange controls. I will put the returned funds of R250m plus interest into a trust, to underwrite constitutional court cases on behalf of those who’s circumstances deny them the ability to be heard where the counterparty is the State.

wow...

Between Elon Musk & Shuttleworth...I must say SA is doing pretty well in producing people that rock the world. :D

(Mandela too - but I'm reluctant to group him into the same category as those two - both cool but different cool)

What sort of applicants will this benefit? Fellow billionaires trying to get money out?

The man should hire an editor :p

But I take my hat off to him. The world needs more people with a conscience.

"to underwrite constitutional court cases on behalf of those who’s circumstances deny them the ability to be heard where the counterparty is the State."

I would imagine this would not include fellow billionaires.
 
Good guy this . On the contrary our president, BooZuma, rather stole R250mill for personal use

Thinking about it, that white policewoman who was denied promotion would be a good example. Good guy, Shuttleworth.

I'm afraid that one has run its course. It can't go any further. Over. Done and dusted.

(This is the grass root South African's perception of him now)

I was savagely stuffing my face at the shebeen with sheep head as a colleague comrade said this Shuttleworth is a colonial racist agent.

I was about to down my black label and then I heard he is stealing money from the government for the whites to bring back apartheid.

R250 million, and people complain when our president builds a house instead of steal the money!

+1 Taken from the black government by a white man for the (mostly) white people. You must be blind not to see the story behind the story. Well said Fudzy

Hey, man .....

Exchange control was his issue.

The regulations dealing with EC are determined by the Minister Of Finance.

The Minister of Finance being Pravin Gordhan - previously Trevor Manuel.

Both the aforementioned gents are ANC MPs deployed by the ...... ANC.

And the issue has been to ask the ANC government, whose ministers are deployed to the post that legislates EC, to drop such EC regulations.
