A simple hand gun in South Africa costs R12000 Tell us what these arms were worth so we evaluate whether we overpaid for them. Furthermore show us that the accused pocketed the excess. USA can piss and shit on anyone because of their military. It ain't cheap to maintain an army.

To all Stellenbosch anc please go to Luthuli house and help Paul Mashatile look for anc financial records of 1997-1998 when the arms deal took place. Ubaba needs them for his case and Paul says he can't find them

So i gonna substitute the witness with who

God is at work✊✊✊

sbonge ukufa 🤝🤝🤝🤝nom lingaqhubek kodwa ufile muntu

Even if Zuma is hospitalized or dead the NPA will go on with the case just put PresJGZuma's name and his family in the mud.

We don't care because there no case at all
