Thanks to Pauli van Wyk (Daily Maverick) and Kyle Cowan (News24) this is being exposed. Our minister of justice now needs to prove she is not a crook or South Africa and the GNU is in real trouble.

The ANC will have to be clever to keep Zuma's MK bunch out of Government in future because they have a lot of looting experience and will therefore be stiff competition to Ramaphosa's bunch on the corruption front.
