Something is very very fishy here. This is like deja vu from other African countries where governments terrorised any people perceived to be against them, this is just the beginning if this is what they will do to get elected in Mangaung what do you think they will do if we tried to vote them out of government. South Africa be afraid be very afraid! Wake up and vote in the next elections vote for anything but the ANC,

the more things the more they remain the same, only because the ppl have given politicians blank signed cheques to run amok. The diffs btwn apartheid and now is the skin colour of the oppressor. Lets recap, the former regime when they didn't agree with views of others, the lawyers representing those will be ransacked or even imprisoned in the case of Mxenges they were murdered, SA are you paying attention?

they tried to pass on the murder of Biko as suicide, we just learn yesterday about suspicions that the body guard who is alleged to have committed suicide his death points more to 'murder' than suicide, hopefully, is it just possible his affair with president's w!fe has anything to do with him committing staged suicide?

So far we watched in horror as the police ruthlessly gunned Tatane just like apartheid police ruthlessly gunned down Hector, SA you better be paying attention, cause at least now we still have a chance to change this horror movie gracing our screens.

the reason politicians in Africa will always get with violating rights of their citizens is because Africans generally have a short memory span and instead of using heads during elections they use hearts, generally African have mentalities of abuse victims, who refuse to break away from abusive relationships, that is why most African leaders are not afraid to blatantly abuse power cause they know they will not be held accountable.

THey let infrastructure collapse, how expensive this will be to rebuild these from the beginning, EC used to boast basic railway infrastructure, some of which has since been used to build shacks, the most basics of tasks the anc fails cause they failed to appoint qualified persons in strategic positions,

@Sin this jaja character is a typically tin pot politician who think that corruption is a normal way of life, she is typically anc in arrogance when defending this corruption, cause most of them believe its their time to 'eat' is it any wonder wtih ppl like jaja in top gov position Africa is such a cesspool of poverty and all other corruption linked mayhem.

Anyway jaja the good news is the West has no money to bail/donate as they now have to rescue themselves, and the voting lines in the West are that, resources of the ppl there have to be used on the ppl in those countries, cause tax payers there say they don't see progress for most of what's been given out as donation/aid, and most political parties are competing with ideas on how their political parties will effectively use resources should they be elected to power, its an interesting trend to watch and I feel envious of these guys for their ability to hold their leaders accountable, I wish that could rub off on Africans who are voting, cause some how we always manage to vote ourselves leaders who are wasteful of our resources.

Taxman serves R10m bill on Malema
View 18 comments | Comment on this story
By: Carien du Plessis and Sipho Masondo

2012-04-22 10:00
Suspended ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema has been served with a tax bill of more than R10 million.

At the same time, Malema hit out at his detractors, saying they have “unleashed all state agencies against me because they want to silence me”.

Speaking outside his house in Flora Park, Polokwane, yesterday, Malema said if anybody wanted to arrest him “they know my address”.

The South African Revenue Service (Sars) has added to Malema’s woes by demanding more than R10 million in taxes from him – apparently related to the millions deposited into his Ratanang Family Trust.

Malema is likely to be kicked out of the governing ANC this week for ill-discipline.

Malema initially reacted with shock when City Press approached him for comment, saying via SMS: “What? That’s not possible.”

But later he again replied via SMS, saying his accountant said the amount owed to Sars was R120 million. He added: “We prefer to (deal) with Sars directly, not through City Press.”

It is not clear how he got to the figure of R120 million, or whether he was joking.

Soon afterwards, his lawyer, Nicqui Galaktiou, sent the following message: “Disclosure of Mr Malema’s private affairs with Sars is a violation of his right to privacy.”

She also said publishing private tax information was a criminal offence “and breaks the sanctity between a taxpayer and Sars”.

City Press understands that the more than R10 million he owes Sars includes penalties. Money owed in an assessment usually emanates from income that wasn’t declared or not fully declared.

Three independent sources confirmed Malema’s tax troubles.

City Press reported last month that in 2010 alone, R3 million was paid into the trust by different people.

The league’s officials said in a statement in July last year if there was any wrongdoing on the part of the trust, Malema “is open and ready for investigations by Sars, and any other law enforcement agencies”.

It is believed Malema will object to the Sars assessment. He could then approach a tax court or appeal against the finding in a high court. At this point, his tax affairs would become public. If this appeal is turned down, he’d have to pay up or have his assets attached.

Sars spokesperson Adrian Lackay could not comment, saying taxpayers’ affairs are secret.

Interesting you should say substandard. inefficient??? So what is substandard delivery at the squatter camp? Informal areas residents in SA set their own residential areas on fire if their bins are not collected, and that's okay? I live in 4ways and when my bin does not get collected I do not set the area on fire? These people do not pay a cent in service rates, so basically you're saying the tax-payer should be happy to foot their bill? Cause the municipality is not getting a cent from them, so somebody has to pay???

@somaar
cause when I drive to the township I am faced first hand with plight of our ppl, do you know jaja of my closet friends I grew up with, I lost about 8 to aids, and others are just mere drivers for the ministers? and I am talking here about graduates, you know how hard it is in teh EC for ppl to get jobs esp if you are not politically connected,
_______________________________

All of us have very sad and personal stories to tell. I know how hard the politics of the ECape are. And that place is very close and very dear to me cause I can trace my ancestory through there. No one can force you to vote ANC or DA. But personally as a black woman who has been through the system I have found a lot that me and community can benefit from in ANC policies. My party the SACP is dead and I have made an alliance with the ANC cause they are the only party who will and has delivered to our people.

I know for a fact that its not only ANC who have benefitted from the empowerment programmes in SA. There are a lot of players in big business who have beneffited, you have benefitted and so have millions of SAns.

@jaja I am not expecting that everyone in SA is rich, but I expect is that everyone in SA has access to the basic necessities such as health, education, shelter and by now the anc shld have been close achieving almost 50% access to these by all citizens, into nje endiyibonayo i anc ilahlela abantu bakuthi emathuneni, hence that guy and many others like him dwelling in the grave yard, jaja do you not think that if the anc was running this country with a fraction of decency, they'd have more support than critics? do you not think that if it did just that (deliver basic services) you wldn't be needing to defending their serial record of failures?

As for your last para, I don't believe that, cause if anc regime was interested in empowerment projects they wldnt' have closed down some of our best teachers/nurses training collegues, consequences of such resutlign in SAn children ONLY being required to have 30% pass rate a practice which serves to devalue SAn qualifications, I ask how will these kids ever make something of themselves in the global stage? did you see qualifications of the Nigerian woman who was contesting for a top job at World Bank? do you think in SA we have a chance of producing that kind of skill? taking 30% in account in your response pliz.

@jjq to add to somaartakeit look at the recent e toll and tag fiasco if empoyerment was high on the agenda why wasnt a local company empowered to do it.... for example Im sure Denel could have would have easily done this and security and vehicle monitoring could be seen to fit withing their portfolio.....


but they were too worried about their own pockets.....and we live in the world where in fact our minority brothers are in fact a big percentage out there and are still an econmic majority

Hehehe, your ignorance is shining here. No, most school going children arent in schools. Most of them drop out before matric. Pregnant and sick are not receiving healthcare. A family recently sued the health department, for crippling their baby boy during birth. Lots of people are without water, lots of people are without electricity. You need to get out abit more jaja.

@Rothschilds you said it ma man, that Hannekom is there for minority rights not the rights of ALL SAns who voted the party who gave him such a priviledge to start off with, and jaja here expect us to take anc serious?

out of curiosity may I ask how is it that rights of minority are threatened when we speak abt land reform? I was also of the impression that all SAns rights are protected under the constitution, but today you taught me something new, hehehe
==============================================================================

The ANC is thinking of changing the property clause in the constitution. Based on easy-way-out politics that is a short-term solution.

For example, Mugabe's land reform program won ZANU PF one election, until the economy went down the tube, caused mass starvation & exodus to neighboring countries. This lead to ZANU PF losing majority votes to the MDC in the following 2008, and now the MDC are expected to have a land-slide victory in next years national election. A fast tracked land reform program would only solve the ANC's problems in the short-run, but will cost them, possibly even absolute power in the medium and long runs because of the backfiring economics that comes with revolutions that are not sustainable.

Hanekom sees through the land rhetoric the harsh reality should we chose the wrong path of Zimbabwe.

If there was a country who's political system I wish we mimicked, it would be Swedens. And their education, healthcare, delivery etc.
