Fact-Check — Is Iqbal Survé the funder behind Jacob Zuma’s new political party?

Wouldn't be surprised if Ikkieball is the funder. I try and avoid IOL but today's article is worth a laugh! The victim card on full display and all sorts of allegations about naspers. READ IT AND WEEP / LAUGH!

We're his accounts not frozen?

Wearing a R1.5m watch. I love South Africa.

Given the source of Iqbal’s wealth is the PIC, in effect the GEPF would be funding former prisoner zuma’s political party.

Where there's smoke, there's fire.

I have heard along the grapevine ... that it is Chester Missing ... who has been missing from active duty for some time ? Halala !

Interesting that Iqbal regards being named as the funder of MK as "defamatory."

All the reprobates pooled in one party. Nice one for South Africa.

Rebecca there was absolutely no fact checking anywhere in your article in regard to Iqbal's funding of "Jacob Zuma's new party" That kind of misleading headline belongs in IOL not DM.

Rumor has it that little Icky Bal donated eleventy twelvety million trillion quadrillion to the new party.

Funding from Surve means funding from the PIC which at the end of the day means from the SA TAXPAYER

The tooth doctor has benefitted immensely from the the Zupta era so it is not beyond the realm of possibility.

Just consider it a political party donation by the PIC!

Fact-Check: Did Zuma have a hand in the 3-billion-rand PIC investment in Surve's worthless shares?

Why would it be defamatory to fund a political party? That is itself defamatory , Mr Zuma - please check with infamous EFF legal beagle & perhaps Mr Survé can be coerced into funding the party by indirect means. Warning: multiple layers of sarcasm, irony and wit may have been baked into this tweet.

I like this political party and wish good things and I'm sure we are going to win the election

No ways Icky gives his money to any cause, good or bad, its not in the narcissist playbook - he takes he doesn't give.

Whatever the truth about who is doing the funding, it is very important of quality journalism to pursue the truth with respect to who is funding which parties. In my view, this matter is under-investigated and under-reported. How on earth does the EFF get money to fund its events? What is in it for the donor? There will always be a quid pro quo --- either explicitly or implicitly. The public needs in depth knowledge about these matters.

MK record keeping was about as good as their military prowess

Where there's smoke there's Surve

I think what one had said is that the MK has been the propriety of the ANC and the ANC has decisions with regard to MK including its incorporation as its military wing. There is no doubt about that despite the confusion Jacob Zuma wants to sow. Secondly the ANC as the key party to CODESA where Zuma was part of its negotiating team has a decision with regard to the integration of MK as part of the SANDF. All the statutory and non statutory forces that formed the SANDF are therefore also a property of the SANDF. It is a criminal offence to seek to revive these because you are seeking to undo the SANDF. Thirdly the name belongs to the veterans association to look after the welfare of its ex combatants. A criminal case has to be opened against those involved of sedition. The issues of expulsion of Ace Magashule as an ex officio member of the NEC he failed to raise the issue even in public and it is jus political thuggery. The issue in relation to buying a conference was started by him with proceeds of crime and corruption and he was defeated at Nasrec with all the proceeds of crime and corruption. This is the reason the issue of CR17 does not arise in the ANC. If Zuma wants crowds for his concerts outside the courts he is free to have them. His non announcement needs to be ignored because it is meaningless. We are where we are because of him and must stop lying to people because he was part of the negotiations at CODESA. if there is a sell out he is the biggest one.

Multiparty Democracy is the formula for a Thriving Democracy! More the number of parties the better. Strong debates in the parliament by the various parties, the better!
