Zuma & his RET cabal are using courts to fight political battles..it is only fools & dunderheads who don't see that

Lezi ezi'two zidlala'ngathi...

Who is Adv Maenetje’s wife? Has she ever served on a board with Pres Ramaphosa?

The court must view everyone the same. That's why political parties were asking that he steps aside, so he can be investigated.

Zuma has been through a lot of prosecutions, but he is a human being as well, and he has human dignity as well... What is so different with their client?

What is it that ramaphosa is so hiding

Well...he is got to establish that in court that is handling the matter. Insofar as I am concerned, his salary, pegs and dignity will remain intact if he appears on 19. Mandela set the precedent and nothing happened to him. Instead we loved him more.

Good people we are settling finaincal crime criminals free this year , because we are all are same .

Shame! The poor bastard doesn't have much of a reputation as is and having Zuma trampling on his rights will dampen it even further for him. Let's all give him the same support as what he gives the country. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Oh that's harsh hey. That reminds me of the rights of all people to have safety, security and water etc....but they don't matter

Partial and Selective Broadcasting Sons of WMC, Captured to the core. Mxm!!!

And the lawyers for the former President bona batheni?

His rights are more importantl than other people's rights

While daydreaming 🤣
