John Block finally faces jail time after ‘playing the system’
Justice has finally been served following the ConCourts dismissal today of John Block’s application for leave to appeal his 15-year jail sentence for corruption and money laundering.
John Block was a front runner in the massive decline that has taken over the Northern Cape provincial government.
He created a closed crony society whereby he and his associates manipulated government business for their own personal gain. This was at the cost of service delivery and to the detriment of the economy. They did this without any consideration for the thousands of people living in the Northern Cape who are desperate for jobs and basic services to survive.
The DA was been very vocal on Block’s wheelings and dealings in government over the years that have especially impacted on health services and job creating opportunities in the province.
In fact, the DA made numerous pleas to Premier Sylvia Lucas to remove John Block from her cabinet.
