President's 'keeper' Roy Moodley spotted at Zuma walkabout
Johannesburg – At least three companies which have questionable relations with government have stalls at the ANC's 54th elective conference – MultiChoice, Sasstec and Sharks Security Services.
On Monday afternoon, President Jacob Zuma went on a walkabout in the area where companies have their stalls, with the media in tow.
As the media formed what can only be described as a rugby maul, waiting on a few words (no questions) from Zuma, Roy Moodley stood calmly on the other side, in front of Sharks Protection Services' stall. By the time Zuma arrived, he was nowhere to be seen, and when the media were herded out of the hall, the stall was completely empty, except for a box.
Moodley is one of the key figures in Jacques Pauw's book The President's Keepers , which the State Security Agency tried to have withdrawn from the shelves.
In his book, Pauw revealed that Moodley had paid Zuma a salary of R1m a month for four months into Zuma’s first tenure as president in 2009. This additional income was not declared to the South African Revenue Service (SARS), Pauw wrote.
