What a co-incidence that the attorney who acts for Zuma in his prosecution of Ramaphosa also represents racist and shady diamond dealer Louis Liebenberg. Walter Niedinger might be a legal eagle but he can't string two sentences together. Careful uBaba, he'll get you in trouble!

"It is strongly disputed that the summons was issued in abuse of process and specifically in connection with the start of the ANC Conference save to the extent that our client wanted sorted out last week because he, not your client, would be unavailable to consult with us."

"The fact that your client. Is also obviously attending the same conference is therefore co-incidental." You get it Mr. Zuma, don't you?

I don't take reviews too seriously but this is from former CC judge Johann Kriegler. "A masterly performance is unforgettable," he says in Rapport. Its a story of how corrupt politicians fight one another for survival while the country and its people sink in a morass of crime.

I was privileged to have read an advanced copy of Anton Harber's new book on the lows and highs of journalism during state capture. It is a masterpiece, and if I was in the shoes of journo's like PR or SH or MwA or PO, I wouldn't sleep well.

My lawyers just issued summons against journalist Piet Rampedi for calling me a child molester. I am suing him for R500,000 for defamation. His attorney has confirmed receipt of summons. Attached my statement. I said earlier he tweeted in 2010 - should have been 2020.

Arthur Fraser: set up a parallel intelligence network (PAN) and colluded with Mkhwebane to capture Reserve Bank. Is this not treason (which is the act of betraying your country)? Disgrace that he is still a DG in government.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/…

More a bashing. A thorough thrashing. If there were any sense if shame , it'd actually resign. She was basically called a liar . A L.I.A.R

I challenge Mkhwebane to detail when she or her office had met Manyike. I have spoken to him twice and he is adamant that he never saw her. But he did see the previous PP after he submitted his complaint in 2014. And even if Mkhwebane had seen him, how could she get it so wrong?
