Money stolen by Ace, Zwane and the Guptas must be given to the people of Vrede
Note to Editors: the following remarks were made today by Democratic Alliance (DA) Leader, Mmusi Maimane, during the KwaZulu Natal leg of his People’s Forum Tour in Ntuzuma.
Fellow democrats,
The material living conditions of South Africans have got much worse in the last decade. When I go from community to community, I see poverty and hopelessness everywhere. We can change the leadership of a political party, but if that doesn’t lead to changing the lives of our people, then it is pointless.
Earlier this year I visited the Estina Dairy Farm in Vrede, Free State. This was a devious corrupt scheme thought up by those who represent the ANC – Ace Magashule, Mosebenzi Zwane and their fellow comrades – to steal public money to pay for a Gupta wedding in Sun City.
But the worse crime here is that those who thought up this evil plan are still in government today. One of them has just been elected to the Top 6 of the ANC. The other is still a Minister in President Zuma’s cabinet. They should both be fired from their positions in government. They should have been fired long, long ago. Every day they remain in government is an insult to the country. These are thugs and crooks. They belong in prison, not government.
