Liar!

Lying son if a bitch

These Zuma cronies all cashed in to form their own anc faction was they got called into the commission.

He is a joke, he didn’t seem to know anything. As MEC he knew nothing that was happening in his own department. He didn’t have any straight answers either

Zwane doesn't know anything, doesn't even know where his arse is

Same old to all of them

He's talking kak as usual.
