Indeed and gupta & zuma are going to be difficult to crack.

But, if these figures are to be believed then this also means that about 9.2 billion (12 - 2.8 of last year) were recovered in Zuma's last 3+ years, so AFU seem to have had less political interference?

So they announce that JZ was to appear next week..

Now he's preemptively ill and can't appear anymore. Fek I want to be able to have workers who can preemptively tell me when they will be sick, it would be awesome for production planning and such....

Now that'll be awesome... (havening wekkas tell you they'll be sick on such and such a date...)

Even more awesome if they'll catch Zooma fibbing (he's out and about instead of being sick)...

Jacob Zuma is too sick to appear at Zondo inquiry next week

Zuma's legal team tells the commission he is unable to attend the hearings next week

www.businesslive.co.za

The commission said on Tuesday it had been informed by Zuma's the legal representatives that he was ill and unable to attend the hearings scheduled for November 11 -15.

Ewww, his STDs are flaring.

It is incredible that someone with such a nebulous connection to the truth as Jimmy Manyi should ever have been anywhere near government communications. Or maybe that was the whole idea:

DAYS OF ZONDO: The Art of Manyisplaining: How Jimmy Manyi almost broke the Zondo commission

Whatever the Zondo commission costs the taxpayer per day, we should all be asking for a rebate for Wednesday and Thursday — when Mzwanele ‘Jimmy’ Manyi brought new meaning to the concept of a ‘difficult witness’.

Isn't spin doctoring for people with a nebulous connection to the truth? So he was perfect for the job as head of government spin doctor department.

I am somewhat baffled that Zondo didn't put Manyi in his place for this bollocks...

I have watched intermittently and I think J is trying too hard to be conciliatory. And scamsters like JZ and manyi are taking advantage of this. Is he perhaps afraid of public outrage from zuma supporters?

The article didn't explain the link to state capture, its the PetroSA case:

Yeah it definitely had no connection to her investigations... At all...

 

[TysonRoux]

At least they're trying.

‘Technical issues’ cited as extradition treaty between SA, UAE delayed

South Africa approached the UAE and India for mutual legal assistance to have the controversial members of the Gutpa family extradited to face state capture allegations here on home soil.

The department's spokesperson Chrispin Phiri said: “Once we have sorted out technical issues on our side, we hope that the UAE Parliament will ratify it on their side. We are working with all authorities to ensure the agreement is enforced.”

It looks like and is being treated as a suicide.
Not sure how they claim two cartridges and no weapon found though in the initial report.
