Ramaphosa's plan: Zuma's side of the arms deal story must sink the ANC come Local Elections
[Side Note: This is former President Jacob Zuma’s side of the story regarding the so called an ‘arms deal’. We have written a great deal on this subject, which has been a matter of public knowledge and speculation for years now, that the so called an ‘arms deal corruption case’ is aimed at tarnishing and destroying the ANC’s name, as an organization, since everyone who can add 1 and 1 together is fully aware that the whole arms deal scheme was the ANC’s modus operandi to raise funds for the 1999 elections under former President Thabo Mbeki’s government.
If you look at the timing of this Zuma Pietermaritzburg case vs the backdrop of imminent Local Elections, you can see that Cyril Ramaphosa is campaigning for the Democratic Alliance to take all municipalities after Zuma’s evidence, which is bound to implicate the ANC in the so called arms deal corruption.
After every hopeless effort has been made to make it look like it is Zuma’s fault, Zuma is now cornering the askaris by requesting certain documents from Luthuli House, which will prove in court who benefitted from the arms deal.
The apartheid spies and their white racist handlers were hoping to use Zuma in court as an accuser of the ANC in corrupt activities so that he becomes a fall guy for this scheme, only for Zuma to retaliate by demanding the apartheid spies to do what they have been doing to the ANC all along; accuse the organisation themselves. It’s checkmate, so to speak, since lately you hear flimsy excuses from ANC Treasurer Paul Mashatile, saying “floods destroyed the evidence at Luthuli House”.
What floods?
When former President Thabo Mbeki started this witch-hunt against Zuma many years ago, obviously pushed by his handlers the White Monopoloy Capitalist, who had forced former President Nelson Mandela to name him his successor after rejecting Ramaphosa; he was warned by many ANC officials that as much as at face value this conspiracy could be sold as a Zuma scandal, in the end the truth will come out about who really benefitted from the arms deal procurement commissions, or what you call, if you are an ANC enemy; kickbacks.
From the outset the real target of this arms deal case was not really Zuma per se, but the ANC's outstanding image as an organization. The same way Shabir Shaik was used as a whipping rod to tarnish Zuma’s name during the Heffer Commission. The enemies of the ANC are trying to use Zuma’s evidence to destroy the integrity of the organization, to portray the Mass Democratic Movement as a corrupt organization and Zuma says no, not in my name.
They knew Zuma would do anything to protect the organization's credibility, as he has done for so many years since the Mbeki years, and the only way they could force him to open a can of worms about the ANC for the first time in his political career was through this court case, as is the case now.
The idiots have been counting on the fact that Zuma would never tell the other side of the story because he loves the ANC so dearly.
In one of our articles, in this eulogy to Jon Qwelane; we revealed that since the apartheid regime failed to recruit Zuma as an apartheid spy, they think they can now force him, in this diabolical fashion, to rat on the ANC, only to be surprised that Zuma has an ace up his sleeve. He is not going to be the one to expose the ANC, but a trail of evidence stashed somewhere in the corridors of Luthuli House that now ANC Treasurer Paul Mashatile claim was destroyed by the floods.
Which floods?
And it would be very naïve of Paul Mashatile to think he can fool the nation by claiming ‘floods destroyed the evidence’ because these documents obviously are in the hands of many people.
What Zuma is literary saying to them is that; “Since ratting on the ANC has been your game all these years, just finish off what you started many years ago. Don’t expect me, a loyal member of the movement to betray the Mass Democratic Movement.”
We must now state it categorically that we believe it is the same apartheid spies and their white racist handlers trying to turn Zuma into an apartheid spy today who assassinated Zuma’s late wife Kate Mantsho and made it look like suicide. CIA operatives do this all the time to smear up their own enemies. We believe uMam’uKate wrote that ‘suicide’ note under duress, for if she had not been forced to write it, the easy way out for her would have been simply to divorce Zuma instead of taking her own life.
But she didn’t choose the first option to divorce her husband. Why? Why kill herself instead of divorcing Zuma if her problems, as the notorious media allegations spread by Zuma’s well-known enemies like Frank Chikane speculated, suggested acrimony in their relationship? We believe Mam’Kate didn’t take her own life. Someone else did and forced her to write the note before killing her.
Motive? To turn Zuma against his own family, particularly his own children.
We also believe the death of Zuma’s brother Michael recently while the former President was in jail was no co-incident. They targeted Michael because they believe he knew too much about ANC’s deep secrets.
We also believe the rape of Zuma's first wife Mam' Sizakele MaKhumalo, was also orchestrated by the same usual suspects. We also believe the assassination of King Goodwill Zwelithini Zulu was also the work of the same dirty cabal. It's all about destroying Black leaders who want to restore stolen land back to the rightful owners.
It was also no coincident that a few months after King Zwelithini’s passing; a political insurgence was launched in Swaziland to overthrow the Swati monarch; King Makhosetive ka Sobhuza II.
The sequence of these events have all the hallmarks of the the CIA coup, the fingerprints of the Rothschild family and clandestine ways of the apartheid spies.
Motive?
The Rothschilds have realized that their own Western democrazy scam has lost its teeth in Africa, particularly the SADC region. People have finally seen the light that this thing will never work for any African country.
Now their biggest fear is the return of Africans to their traditional ways of governance by the traditional monarchs, hence the killing spate of Kings and Chiefs South Africa has witnessed recently, some of them silenced under the guise of Covid-19.
Chief Sipho Mahlangu of amaNdebele, who was Chairman of the House of Traditional Leadership nationally since 2017, we also believe, was also assassinated by the same family in their quest to hold on to this country’s God given wealth under the soil.
Did they die of natural causes? Or they were assassinated for their position on Land Expropriation without Compensation?
After all, the ANC owns no land, it is Kings and Chiefs that lost land that belongs to the people to the colonisers. The ANC was formed by Kings and Chiefs in 1912 as a political weapon to recover stolen land on behalf of the monarchs and the people. That's why it is very important for the Rothschild colonisers to destabilise the monarchs in South Africa.
As long as their crooked Western systems are still recognised by Africans, their political and economic hegemony and stolen property (land) remain safe in the continent...]

Dear Sir,
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION: S v ZUMA CASE NO. CCD30/2018
1. We act for former President of the Republic of South Africa and the ANC, Mr Jacob Gedleyihlekisa Zuma, ("Mr Zuma") from whom we have instructions to address this letter to you as the entity that was entirely responsible for the "Strategic Defence Packages" which involved the procurement of strategic arms for the defence of the Republic in early 1998. The "Preferred Bidders" of the historic Strategic Defence Packages was approved by the South African Government Cabinet on the 18 November 1998. The then Deputy President of the ANC and the Republic, the Hon Mr Thabo Mbeki was also the Chairperson of the Cabinet Sub Committee overseeing the tender adjudication process undertaken by ARMSCOR on behalf of the Department of Defence. Department of Trade and Industry and Department of Finance. The recordings of the South African Government Cabinet meetings of October 1998 and November 1998 on the "Strategic Defence Packages" reflects that former President of the ANC and the Republic of South Africa, the Hon Dr Nelson Mandela was the presiding chairperson of these Cabinet meetings.
2. As you are aware, both our client and Thint SA formally known as Thompson CSF of France have been charged with corruption and fraud arising from the procurement processes involving the Strategic Defence Packages and are currently appearing as accused number one and two in the Pietermaritzburg High Court. In particular, a significant component of the case against our client is that he was involved in corruptly activities offering protection to persons and/or companies with a commercial interest in the Strategic Defence Packages in return for personal financial benefits. In the judgement of the late Judge Hilary G Squires in 2005. our client was implicated as having used his positions in government (MEC of Economic Development in KwaZulu-Natal Province, Deputy President of the ANC and the Republic of South Africa, in a generally corrupt manner to advance the interests of persons and or companies that were involved in tendering for contracts in the Strategic Defence Packages.
3. The allegations against our client resulted in him being expelled by former President Thabo Mbeki from the position of Deputy President on the basis that he was implicated in the judgment of the late former Judge Squires of corruption in the so-called arms deal procurement process. Our client denies most vehemently that he was involved in any corrupt relationship with anyone including anyone who had an interest in the Strategic Defence Packages or that he had any personal financial benefit from these transactions in any manner including a corrupt manner.
4. We are in the middle of preparing for his defence in the aforementioned trial on the corruption, fraud and money laundering charges and are instructed that ARMSCOR has information that is relevant to his defences. Important to our client's defence is that he was not involved at all in offering any protection to any person or company in return for any financial rewards while he served the ANC at any capacity. He most certainly did not benefit in any manner from anyone in the Strategic Defence Packages in any capacity. To properly advance his defence, we have advised him to obtain relevant information that he is aware is within the custody or knowledge of the ARMSCOR which is relevant to the defence that he was not a beneficiary of any financial rewards arising from his various roles while serving the government and the ANC.
In the evidence submitted to the Commission of Inquiry chaired by Justice Seriti. Colonel Johan Du Plooy of the National Prosecuting Authority and Mr Richard M Young of C212 at the Seriti Commission, in effect implicated both former president Dr Nelson Mandela and the Nelson Mandela Foundation. Documentary evidence presented by Colonel Johan Du Plooy and Mr Richard Young related to investigations conducted by the German Public Prosecution Office in Germany and the National Prosecuting Authority of South Africa which revealed that the Nelson Mandela Foundation may have received payments and/or donations from the German and French companies or consortia that were appointed by the South African government in the Strategic Defence Procurement Packages after the awarding of the four Corvette ship contract by the South African Government to the German Corvette Consortium.
6. The aforesaid evidence also stated that the National Prosecuting Authority also uncovered documentary evidence that suggests that Dr Nelson Mandela may have had a direct role in influencing decisions over the selection of some of the successful contractors and sub-contractors to the Strategic Defence Procurement Package.
7. There is an affidavit by Adv Ajay Sooklal, who at some point was Counsel for Thint SA/or Thales and/or African Defence System Pty Ltd in South Africa in which he alleges that the ANC received further financial donations from Thint SA or parties acting on its behalf in order for the NPA not to bring charges of corruption against Thint SA and/or Thales and/or African Defence Systems and/or any of its appointed foreign Executives during the 2002 to 2004 in the South African led NPA investigations into corruption relating to the corvette ship tender process.
8. Our client, Mr Zuma, is acutely aware that the disclosure of these facts and the request for information related to these disclosures will be used as political propaganda against the ANC. He is deeply concerned that his request for this information will arm those opposed to its strategic position as the leader of our liberation and revolution to undermine its moral authority to speak and act on corruption, but he believes that it is unavoidable to disclose to the Courts where he must answer allegations of corruption, fraud and money laundering that the true financial beneficiaries of the transactions in the Strategic Defence Packages did not involve him. He must extricate himself from the narrative entrenched both in the ANC and outside that he was involved in the corruption that involved the procurement of arms in the so-called arms deal. His defence at the trial will require him to give the Court clear evidence demonstrating that he never used his many positions both in the party and government to personally or corruptly benefit from any financial transactions involving the Strategic Defence Packages. He is required to demonstrate that it was not possible for him as an individual and capacity in the party and government to have provided any protection from an honest investigation into the allegations of corruption that are allegedly involved in these transactions. After much consultation and consideration of the issues involved in his trial and for the purposes solely of defending himself against the scandalous allegations of corruption, fraud and money laundering, Mr Zuma requires the ANC to grant him access to the following information:
8.1. List of all and any foreign payments received from any German based Defence Industry companies associated with the Strategic Defence Packages during the 1997/1998 and 1999/2000 financial years:
8.2. List of all and any foreign payments received from any French based Defence Industry companies associated with the Strategic Defence Packages during the 1997/1998 and 1999/2000 financial year:
8.3. List of all and any foreign and/or local payments received from any companies representing or making payment on behalf of Thint SA (France) and/or African Defence Systems Ply Ltd and/or Mr Alen Thetard a senior executive of the Thint SA during the 2003/2004 and 2004/2005 financial years:
8.4. List of all and any payments received from Mr Tony Georgiadis (a Greek citizen living in London) and/or any companies associated with Mr Tony Georgiadis during the 1997/1998, 1998/1999 and the 1999/2000 financial years;
8.5. List of all and any payments received from Mr Yusuf Surtee and/or any company associated with Mr Yusuf Surtee and/or any immediate family member of Mr Yusuf Surtee during the 1997/1998, 1998/1999 and 1999/2000 financial years; and
8.6. List of all and any payments received from Dr Bill Venter and/or Dr Bill Venter family members and/or the Alton Group of Companies and/or Altech Defence System Pty Ltd during the 1997/1998, 1998/1999 and 1999/2000 financial years.
9. We would be grateful if this information is forwarded to us by Friday, 30 July 2021.
Yours sincerely,
B. THUSINI
