EFF leader linked to several underworld figures

It is interesting how the EFF has come out in defence of state capture kingpin Tom Moyane .

Adv Dali Mpofu is the lawyer of Moyane . Look at this pic . It explains it all . Here is Julius Malema with a lot of underworld figures . On the left is Mickey Schultz and Adriano Mazotti – tax dodger ,tobacco smuggler and EFF funder . On the right is one or other Pakistani crook . Forgot his name now . Its also one of the reasons why Shivambu attacked Ismail Momoniat of Treasury .EFF want Moyane back, because Moyane probably knows some secrets about Malema’s tax affairs.
