Posted on Leave a comment
It is interesting how the EFF has come out in defence of state capture kingpin Tom Moyane .

Posted on 3 Comments
The ANC will not support Jacob Zuma in his upcoming corruption trial, but the party’s members can — as long as they don’t wear the party’s regalia.
This is a very different approach from Zuma’s rape trial, as well as initial attempts to lay corruption charges against him, in which he received overwhelming support from ANC structures, with many calling the charges politically motivated.
