The Great Free State Asbestos Project Heist

[Sinbad]

Coming out at Zondo...



The sheer scale, creativity and industry of this state looting just boggles the mind. If these motherfuckers spent as much brainpower on improving the country as they did on looting it, we would be seriously doing well.

That's the norm, not the exception.

Small fish going down to make it look like the big fish are dealing with corruption...

The day Ace falls is the day I will celebrate like it's 1969!

Well done to the Hawks on the arrests but now we hope the NPA has the cojones and facts to wrap up the case nice and neatly and send some more ANC scum and related comrades to join Mdluli!

My reaction to reading anymore corruption scandals.

Can they even still be called scandals? Nothing happens once the info comes out any way.

Go you beautiful raptors go!

Just start nabbing these criminals and place them before the NPA - we hope the NPA has a solid case against them. Hopefully this is the domino effect that SA needs and maybe those big corrupt fishies will start sweating

Maybe they are also asking themselves the same question. I think the first prize is to never get arrested and charged, that's what uBaba taught us, there's too much uncertainty when you are charged and have to appear before some WMC court, anything can happen.

Zupta will undo any progress made once they take over in the next few years

Zupta will undo any progress made once they take over in the next few years

Oh **** off. What evidence do you have of such a ridiculous claim?

I have zero doubt that it would happen should the Zupta cronies take control...

Oh **** off. What evidence do you have of such a ridiculous claim?

It's the natural order of things.

that is my question too!!

But grats on the hawks for a step in right direction.

This is good.
Even if you only arrest and jail the officials and tenderpreuners it should still go a long way to making politicians think twice before dipping in the cookie jar. And tenderpreuners will be wary of corruption if they know they'll be the fall guys.

Don't say that too loudly on here. A lot of people on this forum want to see SA burn; just so they can tell us they told us so. There is no such thing as "Good news" or "A step in the right direction" in their eyes.
