A tractor the Economic Freedom Fighters ‘donated’ to supporters in Limpopo; the implausibility of an earlier alibi for payments to Julius Malema-linked Mahuna Investments, and a newly-revealed payment to another Malema company – the evidence is stacking up that the party and its leader took kickbacks from a massive City of Johannesburg contract.

In November 2018, amaBhungane reported that a fleet rental firm had paid what looked like kickbacks to a company associated with EFF leader Julius Malema – just before the firm won a R1.2-billion contract from the City of Johannesburg.

The R500,000 that Afrirent paid Malema-linked Mahuna Investments appeared to confirm allegations that the EFF was using its position as kingmaker in some municipalities to influence and benefit from procurement.

But the denials came thick and fast.

Not that anyone is surprised that JuJu is just another corrupt p035 just like Zuma, but the EFF fanboys might have a hard time swallowing all this evidence ...

Doubtful, they believe the denials rather than the evidence.

He will be fine, as long as he doesn't mention that the farming machinery were rented at market related prices.

I'm more worried about how this could be happening under Herman Mashaba's nose.

... why do you think the EFF wants him gone so badly? Clearly Malema was scared of being caught, best get rid of the (apparently) incorruptible asap!

The EFF love Mashaba. Juju called him an EFF mayor this week.

The report last year alleged that Johannesburg executive mayor Herman Mashaba essentially bought the EFF’s loyalty in Gauteng, through the firm AfriRent, which won a fleet contract worth R1 billion and, according to the report, made payments into an account used for the benefit of Malema and his party.

Mashaba, in response, told the investigative journalists to bring it on.

Juju flip-flops on whether he's a Cristal or Dom P kind of champagne communist every other day, what comes out of his mouth is worthless.

But you can just see the love for Mashaba all over the show:

How do you think Mashaba is able to continuously able to win no confidence votes...?
Pattern...ANC calls for vote of no confidence , EFF is on board. EFF makes whatever shady demands from the DA...most likely ...making sure their tender taps keep running in the city...DA so desperate to not lose another metro, concedes to EFF demands. Few months down the line, same cycle...

You are confusing the EFF with the ANC.

And you know the Commander hates to beg, but he is prepared to for Mashaba.

I would be 100% disappointed if Mashaba is corrupt. I was actually hoping to see him in higher office in the DA.

can you blame me?

Both are spewing communist bullshyte that has never, and will never, work.
Both are corrupt to the core.
Both have absolutely F-ALL to offer this country other than pitting races against each other.
Both continually fahk over the poorest of the poor while pretending to care.

Honestly, aside from the logo there is no difference between one corrupt commie party vs the other.

politics is a nasty thing...you enter with good intentions and before you know it, you are part of the problem.
