Basotho Ke Cyril

Great!

Lekota is paying back for hate on Zuma, others to follow

Kanti has the state not already attached what he owes for his legal bill🤷🏾‍♂️

But he has Money for frivolous court challenges

No problem,He will survive,but some of us who wishes him bad things ..You will regret 🤞🤞.

If there is no justice for one man al fuls wil blame him for wrong doing of others. We dn't hv constitution that protect al ppl equal on this country Some r doing as they like nt according to constitution. Madonsela n other judges bt citizens r nt against this injustice of judges

Zuma was made to pay money that he wasn't supposed to pay whilst Thulas Nxesi continues with his as if he didn't play any part in the Nkandla upgrade where his then department (Public Works) paid contractors money that wasn't in the contract.

He might actually be a pauper by the time he departs, he clearly has no quality people around him to help him not to drag himself to the gutter so obvious and embarrassingly.

🤣🤣🤣 One of his ex-wives already has a garnishing order of ~70k per month against his pension. There is a reason he left school at the age of 12. Fighting the might of the apartheid regime while making babies in foreign territories was much easier than counting to eleventy…
