VBS Bank | ANC responds to Matodzi affidavit implicating Florence Radzilani and Danny Msiza

ANC spokesperson in Limpopo Jimmy Machaka says one of the issues to be discussed in their provincial executive committee meeting today is the VBS saga.
This follows the publishing of a plea agreement affidavit submitted by convicted former VBS chairperson, Tshifhiwa Matodzi. ANC members, Florence Radzilani and Danny Msiza are implicated in the affidavit for allegedly receiving funds irregularly from the now defunct VBS Bank. SABC News reporter Pimani Baloyi is tracking this story and joins us live from Polokwane.

And there will still be EFF supporters defending Malema and Co while they built mansions and bought restaurants with old Gogos pensions ! No shame whatsoever

[@blackrupert]

What evident is in the affidavit that proves that EFF received money from VBS? it is not there, there is not an evident of what the meeting between him and the EFF was about so we will rely on their words we cannot make a judgment on one person's word because we know politics is a dirty game a person may come out and we had a meeting about this when he is lying just want to discredit you. The company where the money was deposited has nothing to do with EFF. The Guy is lying he paid by the ANC to implicate EFF then they will make sure that he get a less punishment. For someone who really believes in justice you will see through all this that this is all lies.

Of the 263 how many talk to EFF and if those pages where is the actual evidence. EFF has clarified this before, Brian also repayed that lone. So where is the evidence outside of a plea bargain for Matodzi. There is a reason why such never stands up in court without corroborating evidence. Where is the evidence. Matodzi was arrested and made a plea deal. M sure he would have implicated Trump if that's what they wanted but again where is the evidence?

He revealed this info bcos he was offered a deal by NPA for a lower sentence. That’s why he only got 15yrs instead of 495 yrs which equals 15yrs x33 counts. On the plus side it exposed all the looters. The Hawks can now follow the money trail to the looters and beneficiaries.
