Well. What’s taken them so long. 
 

 

Most misleading, as is to be expected from this shyster.  Absolutely NOT the reason why his group has been so massively devalued.  A few facts:

Survé plundered the PIC and civil servants’ pension funds in an investment contract with a no-penalty no-payback clause which amounted to theft.  When he was found out his group took gigantic losses and four banks have closed his accounts due to reputational risk.  No bank will touch his businesses any longer, he uses an expensive banking proxy.  

Some of that loot was used to buy V&A Waterfront penthouses and to pay salaries and other costs in his other businesses.  For one his newspaper holdings have taken massive losses, clicks and circulation figures aren’t even disclosed any more.  Same news group that pushed that “woman gives birth to 10 babies” nonsense.  His one paper, as supposed proof, published the results of an investigation by an agency which he failed to disclose had recently been established and was owned by him.  There is so much more...

Amnesty International award for “Struggle doctor” in 1989.  Assisted Bafana Bafana to adapt to international soccer for the 1996 Afcon win.  Assisted the Indian national cricket team as “mind coach”.  All lies, all three of those entities (including management and team captains) stated that they’d never heard of him.

Anyone remember how he claimed, in his autobiography and to anyone who would listen, to be Nelson Mandela’s physician when in reality he had just finished high school at the time?  That happened.

Absolutely, he is tainted in the worst possible way. 2 crooks going head to toe. 
 

but it is the first of its kind and it’s good to see that finally private enterprise is attempting to hold the government responsible. This could be the start of something , here’s hoping.

This is the first in a while that I'm looking at this thread on my laptop at home, youtube is blocked at work.

I have not opened the clip, but based on the title screenshot, is it bad that I can tell you that she is standing infront of Olympic Cafe in Kempton Park ?

Sorry it’s Olympia cafe. Monument rd Kempton park

I grew up in kempton park and my eldest was born and the now defunct kempton park hospital. I went and googled the Olympia and remember that shop well. Not sure it was the Olympia back in the day but it used to have amazing Russians and the best damn slap tjips on the planet.

A Man’s A Man For A’ That

Robert Burns
1759 – 1796
Is there for honest Poverty 
   That hings his head, an’ a’ that; 
The coward slave—we pass him by, 
   We dare be poor for a’ that! 
For a’ that, an’ a’ that. 
   Our toils obscure an’ a’ that, 
The rank is but the guinea’s stamp, 
   The Man’s the gowd for a’ that. 

What though on hamely fare we dine, 
   Wear hoddin grey, an’ a that; 
Gie fools their silks, and knaves their wine; 
   A Man’s a Man for a’ that: 
For a’ that, and a’ that, 
   Their tinsel show, an’ a’ that; 
The honest man, tho’ e’er sae poor, 
   Is king o’ men for a’ that. 

Ye see yon birkie, ca’d a lord, 
   Wha struts, an’ stares, an’ a’ that; 
Tho’ hundreds worship at his word, 
   He’s but a coof for a’ that: 
For a’ that, an’ a’ that, 
   His ribband, star, an’ a’ that; 
The man o’ independent mind 
   He looks an’ laughs at a’ that. 

A prince can mak a belted knight, 
   A marquis, duke, an’ a’ that; 
But an honest man’s abon his might, 
   Gude faith, he maunna fa’ that! 
For a’ that, an’ a’ that, 
   Their dignities an’ a’ that; 
The pith o’ sense, an’ pride o’ worth, 
   Are higher rank than a’ that. 

Then let us pray that come it may, 
   (As come it will for a’ that,) 
That Sense and Worth, o’er a’ the earth, 
   Shall bear the gree, an’ a’ that. 
For a’ that, an’ a’ that, 
   It’s coming yet for a’ that, 
That Man to Man, the world o’er, 
   Shall brothers be for a’ that.
