If the curators of VBS want to seize assets belonging to former president Jacob Zuma to retrieve costs for the remaining R6.5-million loan used for upgrades to his Nkandla homestead, they will have to obtain the permission of the Zulu king, according to the spokesperson for Zuma’s foundation, Mzwanele Manyi.
Zuma did not respond to the letter of demand that he was served in this regard, with the next step being a summons from the State Attorney. The former president’s inability to handle his finances has been widely reported on, as has his penchant for pleading poverty. As a former president, Zuma receives a R2.9-million annual pension, security and lifelong medical aid via taxpayers.
Pandelani, suggesting time constraints after being unable to meet a 24-hour deadline that was extended, said that he had not received an update from the State Attorney “on progress made in relation to service of summons or whether the State Attorney has to date obtained the requisite return of service from the Sheriff of the Court”.he did not know how much of the R18.2-million Zuma had paid back, but added the foundation would “never disclose that” anyway.
Zuma was genuinely incapable of paying the millions he owed to the state, said Manyi. “He doesn’t have the money, so what exactly must the guy do?” “Whenever people’s hearts opened up” Zuma had his legal fees paid, said Manyi. “And more people’s hearts must open to settle his debt.”
🤣🤣🤣🤣
How will he finance his private prosecution if he can't pay his debt to the State? Or, could he be lying when he says he can't pay? Or is it a case of, 'I have different priorities. My debt to the State is not one of them?'
He is a common thief, deserves nothing
And he wants to institute private prosecution? So he is going to need more funds in the not to distant future.....
Zuma is looking for more bail out money from his crooked associates
