The leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), Julius Malema, has criticized the conduct of the Commission of Inquiry on State Capture and its chairman, Supreme Court Vice President Raymond Zondo, claiming that he does not seek his bank statements, but seeks to defame him and silence it. .
“These criminals want to create doubts and leave us with the dark cloud and not be called to the Zondo commission,” he said.
“Zondo is looking for statements to try to silence me. Zondo didn’t have to go to the banks to get my statements, he should have called me… They wouldn’t find anything… We will never be threatened by the Zondo commission or [National Prosecuting Authority]”He told reporters.
He was responding to reports that commission investigators had issued subpoenas to SA’s major banks to provide all of his financial records, as well as those of his wife Mantoa and his late grandmother Sarah.
the sunday time He reported that his lawyer, Ian Levitt, his Ratanang Family Trust and companies related to him would also be investigated. He said the investigation would analyze information from at least 36 individuals and entities.
Malema said they had informed the central party command at a meeting last weekend. He had not heard from the commission, but called the commission secretary for clarification and nothing was said about the bank statements.
“The secretary said they were investigating where these leaks come from … We say, if you need anything, we are here. We have no problem cooperating with the Zondo commission. Zondo can ask me anything, ”Malema said.
He offered to appear before the commission of his own free will, without a lawyer in December to answer questions, saying he had nothing to hide. Malema said he did not understand the sudden interest in his financial records when his tax problems had already been “leaked” by SA Revenue Services and published in newspapers.
He said there was nothing exciting about his finances as nothing had changed since then except his parliamentary salary.
