If Armindo Pacula has admitted he killed DJ Warras for R25,000, the biggest question isn’t whether he pulled the trigger, Who paid for the murder? Will South Africans ever hear the full truth, or will only the hitman be held accountable while the alleged mastermind walks free?
Can someone explain how Michael Lomas receives a wholly suspended 15-year sentence for 34 corruption counts in the Kusile case, while his co-accused Hudson Kgomoeswana gets 5 years' direct imprisonment over about R6 million? Where is the consistency in sentencing?
Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala
Tender value: R50M paid out (R228M contract)
Court ruling: Rejected an 8-year plea deal for being "too lenient " proposed 12 years effective jail time.
Michael Lomas
Tender value: R745M (Kusile power station scheme)
Court ruling: 15-year fully suspended sentence — 0 days behind bars.
Different rules for different people. ⚖️🇿🇦
Michael Lomas, who admitted to his role in the R745 million Eskom corruption scheme, received a wholly suspended sentence under a deal with the IDAC. His Black co-accused, Maphoko Hudson Kgomoeswana, was sentenced to 5 years’ direct imprisonment for stealing R6 million.

UNBELIEVABLE 🤯🤯🤯😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
This piece of shit moves 1.4billion that was supposed to upgrade infrastructure at Eskom.
He gets a slap on the wrist. Meanwhile we are paying more in electricity every 6months.
This is fucking ridiculous. 🤬

R818,000 (NSFAS): Sibongile Mani gets a 5 year sentence.
R745 million (Eskom): Michael Lomas gets a suspended sentence.
South Africa doesn't just have a crime problem, it has a credibility problem in the way justice is dispensed.
Guys this man pocketed R745 million from Eskom and got a suspended sentence (no prison time) but we had to endure constant stage 6 loadshedding, the cost of living went up because of loadshedding. The cost of electricity right now is insane, but yet a suspended sentence.
A amount of 1 million has been set aside to find all 4 of these children which is Oyintando,Thabisile,Thabile & Sive Siganga,who went missing 10 November 2024,at Ntabankulu in Eastern Cape last seen playing at their home if anyone knows anything call Col Raymond Buys 0825594613
