The people who dished-out these tenders to Malema and cronies should also be charged and made to pay for screwing the tax-payer. We're sick and tired of every useless D!ck and Tom lining up their pockets to clean the tax-payer out. The Nkandla dunderhead is also not innocent. He is busy milking us out by directing all state resources to his village and his family. South Africa, Particularly Blacks who keep voting for ANC, please wake up and use your brains. You can't be used like condoms forever.

So tender fraud is every bit as illegal as stealing or murder. The perpetrators must be brought to justice, regardless of their political connections, and the same goes for Zooma's grubby little deals too.

My question is: was Juju going to be investigated if he was still buddies with JZ, and if he was, was he going to stand trail ? I will never know the answer. The next question is: is it only Juju who has been awarded tenders unlawfully? That one the answer is obvious, it cannot be Juju alone. I honestly do not like Juju but I love fairness and justice, if Juju is the only target then Madonsela is not motivated by justice, we still have people who made the Minister of settlement to pop up R4billion to repair the RDP houses that were not up to standards, why Donsi does not also bring these culprits to justice. Why it always seems that the ANC leadership specializes in using the state organs to settle scores?

Isn't it that Malema is a shareholder at On Point Engineering - the very same company that presented false information (misrepresantation) to the bid committee? In other words they deceived the bid committee claiming to be a well established co yet they only existed for a month or so. Surely, Malema as the shareholder must have been aware when the tender was made. He must also tell us where got the money to buy his mansions, luxury cars and a farm from his little salary. Any lump sum you get is subject to tax, why did he evade the taxman? Hiding something...?
