They wear overalls and aprons in Parliament, claiming to represent the poorest of the poor and the working class.

But when we march for jobs to be prioritised for South Africans, the same organisation condemns us.

@LeratoPillayZA @nasiphim Why are they not deported like the others. Ethiopians, Bangladeshis and Pakistanis always survive deportations. Are they special to Zimbabweans and Malawians. The minister doesn't even address their issue.

Meet Jeff Wicks, a random journalist from News 24 who last year said, General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi doesnt have facts, and is confusing emotions with facts. Jeff Wicks also mocked Mkhwanazi calling Mkhwanazi a "hero General".

Today the Madlanga Commission has made many arrests from evidence Mkhwanazi gave. Yet Jeff Wicks has never apologised for his stupidity and ignorance.

I see a trend amongst these poor white journalists to discredit any black activist or leader. In their mind only a poor random white like themselves can be right, or have a true sense of justice, but not a black person.
This isnt about poor journalism, its clear, this is about racism. These idiotic and mediochre white journalists like him and Karyn Maughan think they can merely say or do anything against a black person and get away with it.

Disgusting!

The South African National Editors Forum must hold them and their employers like News 24 accountable.

BREAKING NEWS🔥🔥🔥

This is Phillip Ragkwele the City of Ekurhuleni’s Chief Audit Executive.

He is sitting on over 40 investigations that he’s allegedly hiding. He’s the one that also changed the audit report of the slain Mpho Mafole.

Sources from law enforcement say he’s one of the people who should be questioned with regards to the mess in Ekurhuleni.

Phillip Rakgwele MUST ANSWER.

I’m coming. With more 🫠

NPA MUST EXPLAIN WHY ADMITTED SERIOUS CRIMES RESULTED IN NO PROSECUTION

@TaxJustice_SA statement

Tax Justice SA has called on the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to explain why Adriano Mazzotti appears never to have faced criminal prosecution despite confessing to tobacco smuggling, tax evasion, unlawful surveillance and attempts to corrupt SARS officials.

The Madlanga Commission heard on Friday that Mazzotti’s admissions formed part of a confidential 2014 settlement with the South African Revenue Service (SARS).

In an affidavit presented to the Commission, Mazzotti admitted to unlawful tobacco imports, manufacturing cigarettes “off the books”, conducting illegal surveillance of SARS officials and paying R800,000 in cash to a legal adviser believed to have influence over SARS officials.

Tax Justice SA founder says South Africans deserve answers.

“The NPA must address one simple but very crucial question. If someone admits to serious crimes involving tax fraud, illicit tobacco trading and attempts to corrupt public officials, why was there apparently no criminal prosecution?

“It is common practice to settle a tax debt. But can South Africans now settle their way out of crime?

“A tax settlement is meant to recover money owed to the fiscus. It should never become a substitute for criminal accountability. If admissions of this scale do not lead to prosecution, public confidence in the justice system is badly damaged and organised crime is allowed to run amok.”

The Commission has also heard evidence of a close relationship between Carnilinx director Mohamed Sayed and suspended Crime Intelligence Major-General Feroz Khan, who survived an apparent assassination attempt last week before he was due to testify.

WhatsApp exchanges placed before the Commission appear to discuss illicit tobacco investigations and reveal an unusually close relationship between the two men.

TJSA said the latest evidence reinforced long-standing concerns that organised crime may have enjoyed protection from within parts of the criminal justice system.

Corruption Watch has questioned why no criminal prosecutions have followed major investigations by SARS, the Financial Intelligence Centre, the South African Reserve Bank and other state agencies into an alleged tobacco and gold smuggling network centred on Gold Leaf Tobacco Corporation and businessman Simon Rudland.

According to Corruption Watch, investigators linked the alleged network to about R8.2 billion in unpaid tax and referred more than 100 individuals and entities to the Hawks and the NPA for investigation.

However, no criminal charges have been laid against Rudland or others in connection with those allegations of illicit tobacco trading, gold smuggling, money laundering, tax fraud and billions of rand flowing offshore.

“South Africans are seeing a worrying pattern,” said TJSA. “On one hand we have Mr Mazzotti’s admissions of serious criminal conduct that apparently resulted in no prosecution. On the other we have years of investigations, allegations involving R8.2 billion in unpaid tax and referrals by multiple state agencies, yet still no criminal charges.

“The NPA owes the public an explanation. If there is not enough evidence to prosecute, it should say so. If there is, South Africans deserve to know why these cases have not reached a courtroom.

“Nobody should be above the law. Justice cannot depend on wealth, influence or political connections.”

This brother has a challenge for South African journalists.

He wants them to interview the poor South Africans and asked them questions like, How's your life, have you eaten, do you have a job.

These are the favourite questions our journalists asked the illegal immigrants.

[Vuyo Zungula MP 🇿🇦 @ZungulaVuyo]

Important Reminder:

This is the face of the immigration crisis. He is the Minister of Home Affairs, which only has 832 immigration officers for over 3 million illegal foreigners.

The immigration officers don’t even have document scanners, biometric devices, real-time database access. They intentionally broke down the capacity of the State to deal with immigration crisis.

Wait a minute!

They said they dont have R80 million for the continuation of the Madlanga Commission, but suddenly, they have R600 million to deploy soldiers and police on 30 June.

This government has been a government of criminals and mafias all along 💔

Disgusting!

Instead of facing the real problem of millions of illegal immigrants all over the country
Again this government is provoking South Africans as usual #Abahambe

Judge Madlanga is a genius.
The moment Cyril Ramaphosa's spokesman announced that they will not be extending the Madlanga Commission, i knew immediately that Madlanga would do something strategic. Because I knew that he's a thinker and that he'd out-think Ramaphosa.

I just didn't know what he would do but I knew he would do something. And now I can see what Madlanga is doing.

Here is what I think the strategy was against Madlanga. That witnesses will play time wasting tactics. Play sick, call lawyers and tell long stories, basically waste time until Ramaphosa cuts the funding for Madlanga. I think this was the strategy.

And what is Madlanga doing to counter?
He no longer cares if you say you are sick. They now release your evidence to the public and analyse it at the commission without your involvement. Now they are flying in a speed that wasn't anticipated. By the time the funding is cut, damage will already be irreversible.

The way South African politicians are protecting illegal foreigners, you can tell that the porous borders were deliberate. The decay of our cities, our young people being addicted to drugs and young girls being sex trafficked never bothered them. Our safety as a nation is not their priority.

R2 Trillion revenue collection in a 1% GDP growth economy with and average 4.5% inflation rate perpetually eroding the purchasing power of stagnant wages, and a 60% youth unemployment rate is a cause for a revolution.
