Mogoeng said he was offered “whatever amount” he wanted and that he could do with the money as he pleased.

The revelation about the offer of money was made while Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng was presenting the 2018/19 judiciary annual report last week.Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng on Monday said an American billionaire made a R600-million offer through “a particular structure” for court modernisation.

“I wasn’t approached directly. There was a middle person who I respect highly, who I believe came to me innocently, and that’s what makes it a bit challenging for me to disclose the details. “It’s enough to say it was an American billionaire who made an offer through a particular structure to modernise the courts,” Mogoeng said.Mogoeng told Bingwa he was offered “whatever amount” he wanted and that he could do with the money as he pleased.“Why don’t they go to treasury and give money there? Why should I be approached directly? Why should it even be a secret approach?”

The revelation was first made while Mogoeng was presenting the 2018/19 judiciary annual report in Johannesburg last Thursday. During the presentation of the report, Mogoeng also said the judiciary is prioritising digitising the functioning of courts to improve performance.

Julius_S_Malema What do we call that? Isn't a state capture? Why he doesn't go to Zuma commission? Or it is not of particular interest? Anyway whose interest is Zuma commission? WMC, govern this country, even jugdes President is afraid of it. Why he didn't open criminal case against that person

Julius_S_Malema Wait a minute, wasn’t Mcebisi Jonas offered the same amount? 🤔 What’s up with this 600meter?

Julius_S_Malema He must please go to the StateCaptureCom

Julius_S_Malema I respect this man to reject R600Million is no child's play...

It would be interesting if that American was African American. But I think we all know who runs this world

Ayandaianda Who is this person,Soros?

Spill the beans chief justice

American billionaire associated with Johan rupert

I think it was Soros... the founder of our media... the evil destabilizer of nations...

Julius_S_Malema This guy mogoeng what's to be seen as someone with ethics and talks to win people heart nd saying if we have evidence on judges been captured but he himself say someone wanted to do that to him but he doesn't even name him he speaks just for likes mxm.

Julius_S_Malema Not every person at your ' league' can turn down such offer... Big respect

Julius_S_Malema My concern is that such offers might have been extended to some who couldn't resist.

Julius_S_Malema An American billionaire!? Isn’t that akin to Russia interfering with the American elections (the affairs of a country other than their own).

Good thing he refused they were tempting him, with in no time, they would have find out and remove him, they must have suspected he was about to have hawks investigating judges, it's governing party s trap ( my conspiracy)

Thuli Madonsela used to accept those in pp office , until Busi Mkhwebane put stop to it.

So he just confirmed that the judiciary is captured, yooh, even the Chief Justice.

By who? We want the name

Should he go and testify at the State Capture commission because the CJ himself said this is some sort of a state capture.

Julius_S_Malema And then we expect weak ppl like Julius to reject the money lol. Julius would do anything to secure the bag.

This is why Russia banned Soros. This is a new capture

Julius_S_Malema Had he accepted, the country would have been officially Sold, Signed and Sealed I'm telling, there was gonna be a slave business here

Please also work on the NPA and Police so victims can get justice.

Does it start with an S

People believe this guy but doubt Jonas...

It must be George

1st and foremost, Mogoeng should have reported that matter somewhere. Secondly, the middle person should have been dealt with. Our country comes a long way.

Julius_S_Malema This CJ is a marvel to watch, we are in good hands indeed, he has all my support every step of the way. He is passionate about what he is doing. So far so good CJ....

George Soros maybe....

Julius_S_Malema Please name the person

My sources say this billionaire also funded Agang...if we had investigative journalist not what we have they would follow leads

600m seems to be a common offer

Mordenise 👹

No purse without strings.

Julius_S_Malema Maybe just maybe it was philanthropic to help with the admin of justice. R600m is not a lot of $ for them. We need to get off our high horses and not jump to conclusions. Donations aside - why is this man fueling sensationalism- he’s supposed to be a CJ not a tabloid

DjNewSouthAfric He .just name and shame n release evidence.

Julius_S_Malema There is no such thing as a free meal. If you believe in a “free meal” you are a schmuck!

UnmovedLee Why was Guptas name mentioned but this one's name is not mentioned. Americans have realised that we are an easy target reason why NPA want to take private ppl's money we are in dangerous times indeed

millienghw its an American

I don't this he would have met the first black president.

Julius_S_Malema Nywe, nywe, nywe. China this and China that!! But when it's America we all keep quiet.

We have a population of 50 m, they could have given each one of us 1m and we would be fine with it🙃😕

Julius_S_Malema So , how does he expect the public to fight crime if he himself a JUDGE protects them.

Julius_S_Malema The devil comes in many forms. His typical appearance on earth happens to be blond hair, blue eyes and pale skin

Julius_S_Malema An American billionaire 😳😳guys bafuna ntoni esouth Africa ooo American billionaire 😳

Julius_S_Malema I think it would eventually lead to prisons being privatized

justkholii__ NziphoZimnyama

Ramadreamer behind this

Julius_S_Malema The next thing that billionaire will own a prison in South Africa ... watch the space!!!

Julius_S_Malema RegoMarak

I think this judge can run the country as a president

Julius_S_Malema He will remember tht 600m

Julius_S_Malema what is 2 modernize courts?

Sophie_Mokoena Oh but the Tweeps kept saying ots Stellenbosch, it turns out they were spreading propaganda as usuak no facts 😇🤣🤣

Payback time will come

State capture tactics

Judiciary is a problem in South Africa,

...and as a member of the legal community he never saw fit to lay a charge against the people who offered/bribed him? This niqqa!

What is to modernise the courts..he must gives us details phela

Take the money and fit electric chairs to all courts and deal with guilty ones there and then. You'll save millions on prisons and bring crime down.

Why telling us, cant he mention the guy who offered him that money

wut ?
