M&G Oilgate exposé vindicated

There is still some hope for the Judiciary--provided this Judge doesn't get the sack for actually applying the law!

This judge must be the new Chief Justice.

Mushwana, ANC Protector from the Public.This is one of the Chapter Nine offices that the ANC has deployed it's cadres for the reasons of deflating public scrutiny.
Now the ANC has employed Ray McCauley to help it deflated it's lack of public obligations.No the ANC,can't even approach the same people it courted for votes.What a sham of a government.What can you tell people about your lack of delivery when your ministers are busy on a shopping spree for luxury cars.The same money they are spending could have been put into better use.
Other responsible governments in the world leases cars for government ministers, hence avoiding unnecessary misuse of public tax money.But the ANC thinks they own the country and the people and it and it doesn't gives a rat's ass.

The ANC government must be shamed and exposed.It seems to live in a bubble.

Eish, meeting tonite at Luthuli House, bring that judge in...comrades we must fire him and imprison him for siding with the enemy....right get out the explosives...call in Mcbride for deployment in the canteen at M&G...

Bring back the ArmsGate/Oilgate shames from under the carpet, whence the ANC brushed them.

Well the public voted the ANC in overwhelmingly. Now they are having service delivery protests. Personally I would blame the voters.

Well done M&G. Everyone with a brain cell knew Mushwana covered for his bosses. But you took the trouble to prove it. The public deserves more such investigative reporting and follow through to expose this very expensive circus called a government. Well done!

Evans - the ANC government cannot lease cars... The investigation after the MEC's brand new car was stolen revealed that no insurer in the country will touch government cars because they get abused, damaged and are involved in too many accidents. And no lease company on this planet would dream of allowing an un-insured car to be leased out. Maybe we should start them on something they can handle and deserve.... skateboards perhaps?

This judge must become the Chief Justice.

Now that the 'ulterior motive'd investigative journalists' have been vindicated, lets try and suppress the calls about the 'third force white journalists', who just want to 'smear the ANC'. Go M&G.

I agree with Evans Mazi.And thank God for Mail & Guardian who does not squirm and backoff, but hunts a story down. But we can expect these thing to happen in fulfillment of bible prophecy.
Rev.22:11 "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still". And it will always start at the top. So it is to be expected yet it must be exposed and that is the job of the church, and if we must,the media. So thank you Mail and Guardian again I hope you get to the bottom of it soon just a pitty you have to pay for it yourselves from your own recources while the Goverment uses Tax payer money for their unrighteous/unjust causes

"Call in McBride for deployment in the canteen at M&G"?
its 2009, dude; you need to evolve already.

usually i get the feeling the journalists are always compromised, this gives me hope! Thanks M&G!

Now you know why an ANC compliant judiciary is vital to the future of the "national democratic revolution".

let's hear more! I am very impressed that the South African people will start to hear the truth about these dealings. Perhaps the ANC miscalculated how easy it would be to hide their dirty laundry? Mind you, I wonder whether the electorate cares enough at this stage? We may need to see a lot more corruption exposed before the voters are willing to punsih the ANC. They have a very forgiving fan base.

Sorry the arms deal shenanigans will not go away. That money could have been used for much better causes - like housing, fighting AIDS, etc. Worst of all that was foreign exchange used to buy unnecessary and useless war material. That means all that effort (like working down a hot stuffy mine) to earn that foreign exchange was wasted.

Well gentlemen the Jury is out -ANC ANC ANC, and you will hear the masses voting again and again and again- da da da is what you will hear the minory shout about when voting. The results Capital letters will prevail and small letters complain and and write stories of corruption with negative returns on the Polls-

Start politics of hope and fuse prositive energy than tide might,maybe might turn. When Madam still shout when addressing the Media to appear Authoritative the more the masses will just run away and not vote for an Angry Leader.

Simple explaination- Its shows disregard of the collective, ubuntu,ububele, isizotha, inhlonipho. Thats what we need from the leader "be humble".

Great heavens Brother Syndney, what on earth do you mean by that weird garbled amafuf? Or is it a parody and I am missing something in my old-fashioned sense of humour? Anyway, it puts a smile on my dial for some strange reason! I don't know why, but it should probably make me cry.

However, my main point is to express my congratulatins to the M&G for their astute and incisive investigations into this crime, and for their reporting it to the nation some years ago. Where would South Africa be without its excellent investigative journalism? Remember how journalists exposed the Information Scandal of the apartheid Nats? This M&G exposure is at least of equal standing. Brilliant work, people, you are SA's best!

Sorry Sydney -- I mispelt your name above.

The 'OilGate' scandal is a perfect example of crony money (i.e. BEE money) being the recycling of unproductive money. It's a practice that will eventually destroy the SA economy, especially in a time of recession.

It is very good indeed to see the High Court putting that liar Mushawana in his place. Public Protector! A perfect example of Orwellian double-speak. That man was briefed to protect the ANC and its 'clients'.

For a change we do not have the "okes" in the wings squealing about rascist decisions and biased judges and trials by media. Every one here so far has slammed the Govt for dirty dealings. Perhaps this fight against corruption will be a unifying force? After all it is a very small minority who are simply milking us dry!

Now how do we get a similar finding/decision on the arms deal?

ANC - your days are numbered...

No dude, you need to recognise, perhaps even understand, the satire sarcasm or even irony indicated by the writer.

What on earth are you trying to say? I can only conclude that you must be mentally disturbed or perhaps even retarded.
If either of those, good luck for the future, I am sure no one is trying to insult you.
If neither of those, please try again to express yourself again.

This rotten can of worms will presently crack wide open and the moiling nasties will writhe under the light of the sun. A foetid stench will of course arise, but presently, with the worms, it will be cleansed away.

An excellent solution for these worms would be deportation to a guano island off the Skeleton Coast. The smell won't be noticed, and the worms will eventually serve their country as liquid manure. :)

We will never know the true extent of the arms deal debauchery and the backdoor deals which have essentially damaged South African institutions and international credibility all for the sake of making some high ranking officials independently wealthy, courtesy of the taxpayer.
What is worse, our democracy has been subverted by a political organisation that makes no distinction between itself and the state and has brought democracy to the brink of farce by taking funding from the deals it brokers to fund its election campaigns. Force and fraud in the ruling party have become a bane to the democratic polis. It is the most unfair of practices for the ruling party to use its position to fund itself with taxpayer money without being accountable in the least. Even the most revered politicians have brought public faith in their probity low. How do these people sleep at night knowing that they are so morally flexible?
I live for the day when all those implicated in the arms deal are brought before public justice, held to account and punished for their works, without been given an unfair Shaik.
