News24.com | Jacob Zuma corruption case postponed to February

Former South African President Jacob Zuma appears at the Pietermaritzburg High Court in Pietermaritzburg.

Former South African President Jacob Zuma appears at the Pietermaritzburg High Court in Pietermaritzburg.

KIM LUDBROOK

  • It was a quiet day outside the KwaZulu-Natal High Court in Pietermaritzburg on Tuesday where the Jacob Zuma corruption trial was supposed to get under way.
  • But the matter was postponed for the outcome of a review application which French arms company Thales lodged.
  • Thales went to court, arguing that it should not be included in racketeering charges against Zuma.

The Jacob Zuma corruption trial has been postponed for the last time in 2020 and the case is scheduled to go ahead next year, on 23 February.

Senior State advocate Billy Downer stood before Judge Nompumelelo Radebe in the KwaZulu-Natal High Court in Pietermaritzburg on Tuesday, where he requested a consent order for the postponement. The parties – Zuma, French arms company Thales and the State – agreed to the postponement.

Radebe granted the order and stated that several issues, including Thales’ review application to have the racketeering charges thrown out, were given as reasons for the postponement.

“Both accused are in absentia and with permission of this court. Having read papers on the record and considered submissions by the State and accused, the court orders a postponement for pre-trial issues.”

READ | Thales court challenge will effectively be a ‘dry run’ of Zuma, French arms company’s trial

Among the other issues that needed clarity were further particulars that Thales requested and international travel for some of the company’s representatives.

In the review application, advocate Barry Roux, SC, who represents Thales, argued there was no evidence they had knowledge of bribes paid that Schabir Shaik paid to Zuma.

News24 previously reported that Roux said the State erred in its decision to charge Thales in the case, which involves an alleged 783 corrupt payments Shaik made to Zuma.

Roux argued there was no evidence that Thales had any knowledge of the alleged bribes. He said the prosecution and National Director of Public Prosecutions did not properly peruse the full docket.

He also said Thales was being held responsible for payments made to Zuma that they did not participate in.

“They must conduct or participate in it. Actual participation is required. When you look at the State’s application, it clear[ly] stated there was enough to rely on [Thales’] awareness of bribes. Even if there was awareness, they never entertain the notion that it must be participation.

“Bribery or money laundering must be through an enterprise. You must do it consciously,” he had said.

ALSO READ | Jacob Zuma: Indicted by his own words and behaviour

News24 previously reported that advocate Wim Trengove, SC, who represents the State, maintained the argument that they did not rely on direct evidence, but rather on circumstantial evidence,

He said it was not a case of just awareness of bribes.

“It is not mere awareness. They were aware of retainer payments, then they joined in. They did two things. They agreed to pay money to bribe Zuma to frustrate the investigation into their own corruption. That makes them an accessory after the fact.”

Trengove added that buying into an “ongoing retainer” proved participation.

It is unclear when judgment will be delivered. The judges stated that a date for the judgment would be announced.

News24.com | ‘Sick leave’ delays suspension of police Crime Intelligence boss

You Need Posted on by

Lieutenant General Peter Jacobs

  • The head of the police’s Crime Intelligence Unit, Lieutenant General Peter Jacobs, faces suspension over serious misconduct charges.
  • This relates to Covid-19 PPE procurement, allegedly using a slush fund meant for secret operations.
  • Jacobs, seen as a new broom to sweep the unit clean, has not yet be served this his suspension letter.

A bizarre turn of events has seemingly left the police’s Crime Intelligence Unit rudderless, with top brass unable to serve Lieutenant General Peter Jacobs with a letter of suspension while he is on “sick leave”.

Impeccable sources in law enforcement, both in police management and in the intelligence sphere, told News24 that a letter had been prepared – but had not been served – as Jacobs is in the ether.

The suspension of Jacobs is the latest instalment in a series of scandals to befall the Crime Intelligence Unit, which has seen a string of commanders find themselves on the wrong side of the law.

It is also not the first time that the Secret Services Account slush fund – meant to bankroll secret intelligence operations and pay informers – has been at the centre of claims of looting.

READ | Crime intelligence was infiltrated – police commissioner

Documents obtained by News24, which set out charges to be faced by Jacobs, as well as a notice of an intention to suspend him, put a R1 million Covid-19 PPE procurement deal at the heart of the drive to oust him from his post.

In an official notice which sets out alleged misconduct, three contraventions of police policy have been laid at his feet.

“During March 2020, at or near Pretoria, you have allegedly committed misconduct… in that you wilfully presided over a procurement process which had resulted in the Secret Services Account being abused… in that you authorised to use of the fund in purchasing or acquiring the Covid-19 personal protective equipment.

“[This] while you [were] aware or ought to have been aware… that the ‘slush fund’ ought not to be used for such activities in terms of the relevant prescripts,” the document reads.

Jacobs also stands accused of delegating the authority of chief financial officer (CFO) to a subordinate “who was not legally competent [to] perform the functions of CFO of the Crime Intelligence Division”, and then authorising a procurement application for the safety equipment.

‘Dark days of malfeasance’

The final accusation levelled at Jacobs is that he is guilty of misconduct for circulating an email which sought to, or had the potential to, cause divisions in the already fractured unit.

“This office (that of Jacobs) is aware of the factions within the division who are hell bent on seeing the secret services account associated with the dark days of malfeasance and corruption,” the cop spy boss was alleged to have written.

The notice contemplating his suspension, dated 30 November, allowed him 48 hours to make representations. News24 understands that Jacobs has written to police management to counter the claims.

Lieutenant General Sindile Mfazi, the Deputy National Commissioner of Management Advisory Services, is now overseeing the division.

Mfazi and Jacobs, sources said, have a lengthy history of blowouts over control and operations of the unit.

READ | 27 Crime Intelligence officers have criminal records and some are serious

Last month, the Sunday World reported that the unit had irregularly paid close to R1 million to procure PPE, and claimed that some of the products purchased using the slush fund were substandard.

The paper quoted letters purportedly sent to Jacobs by Inspector-General for Intelligence, Setlhomamaru Dintwe, in which he demanded that Jacobs cooperate with their probe into the alleged abuse of the fund.

The correspondence, which has not been seen by News24, allegedly purports that a Durban company was paid R430 000 on 24 March, R450 000 the next day and R75 912 on 31 March, bringing the total to R955 912.

Police spokesperson Brigadier Vish Naidoo was emphatic that Jacobs had not been suspended. He confirmed that Mfazi was overseeing the operations of the Unit.

  • The Springboks will tackle England in a Test at Twickenham on 20 November 2021.
  • It will be South Africa’s final match of a three-game year-end tour.
  • The Boks will also tackle Scotland at Murrayfield, while their opponents for the opening match are yet to be confirmed.

The Springboks and England will square off in a Test at Twickenham on 20 November 2021.

The match, which was confirmed by the English RFU on Tuesday, will be the final one of South Africa’s three-game year-end tour.

This follows last week’s announcement of South Africa’s Test against Scotland a week earlier – on 13 November in Edinburgh.

It will be the first time the Springboks face off against England since winning the 2019 Rugby World Cup final 32-12 in Yokohama.

It will also be South Africa’s first trip to Twickenham since 2018, when England narrowly edged the Springboks 12-11. Prior to that drama-filled encounter, the Boks had beaten England 2-1 in a home series.

“Any match involving England and the Springboks is always special,” Rassie Erasmus, SA Rugby’s director of rugby, said via a press statement.

“England are an incredibly proud rugby nation and in Eddie Jones they have an astute coach who will no doubt be working on a plan to outsmart the Springboks for our rematch at Twickenham.

“The history and rivalry between our two countries always make for a great contest and we are looking forward to play the English at their Twickenham fortress where it will require a special performance to match them.”

South Africa’s last win over England at Twickenham was a 31-28 success in 2014. Overall, the Boks have won 26 Tests against England, lost 15 and drawn two.

England coach Jones added: “These will be some good games of rugby and tough tests for us as we work to improve ourselves as a team.

“South Africa are world champions and we’ll be looking to benchmark ourselves against them.

“We’ve not had the chance to play southern hemisphere teams this year, so it will be a good chance to see where we are up to and hopefully some great rugby for our supporters to enjoy.”

The name of the Springboks’ third opponents, for the opening match of their European tour on 6 November next year, will be revealed in due course.

Springboks’ 2021 European Tour opponents:

6 November: TBA

13 November: Scotland at Murrayfield, Edinburgh

20 November: England at Twickenham, London

Education level: Degree

Type: Three mont
Company: CleverClicks

Job description

  • Are you trying to break into the exciting world of digital marketing?
  • Would you be fascinated to learn how to ‘beat’ Google and get number 1 rankings, tons of web traffic and ultimately sales for clients’ websites?
  • Do you have a business or marketing degree?

Well, we may have just the position for you.  

Did you know that links from a high-quality website to another website create ‘authority’, and ‘authority’ results in traffic, and traffic results in SALES? This is a big part of beating Google.

This will be your purpose: Get. Links. To. Content.

Perhaps we will call you our Outreach Specialist. You’ll be an intern, but we won’t make you fetch coffees nor polish the CEO’s shoes. You have important work to do. We are offering a three-month intern position (25 to 40 hours per week). What happens at the end of the contract is up to you! (We did hire the last two interns full time… #JustSaying). We need someone who loves data. And who is a clear, exceptionally skilled, persuasive e-mail writer. You need to be methodical and thorough and have attention to detail. We need you to be very tactful and sincere.

You will be doing lots of online research.  And lots of emailing to prospects who have never heard of you, and requesting them to link to the amazing content our team has created. Probably some outreach phone calls too.

If you’re an extroverted ‘flamboyant’ ideas person then this is probably not the role for you! Scared of spreadsheets – not for you either. Do you get over-awed by new software, or don’t like follow through? Nope, move on to the next job ad. But, if this tickles your fancy then read on…

You will have tons of support from a team of very experienced, smart, digital marketers, and the best tools around to help make your life as easy as possible. You will attend internal and client meetings to learn about all things digital. And quite possibly, a full-time role at one of the best digital marketing agencies in Cape Town. If you feel you cut the mustard, click the link, complete the form. You’ll also see instructions for a selfie video. Start date is yesterday.

Job perks:

Life as one of us is pretty darn special. We are the best company you’ll ever work for. Think that’s a bold claim? Check this out:

  • We think 9am – 5pm jobs suck. So you will be free to structure your day around your other passions – boxing session at 11am… or yoga at 3pm… no problem. Think flexible hours on a whole new level.
  • You will have huge flexibility where and when you work. Working in your PJs or from your favourite café? Yes, please.
  • We are very focused on the health and wellbeing of our employees because healthy people are happy people. That’s why the team get a wellbeing allowance and regular wellness/personal coaching sessions.
  • Our team is tight-knit and awesome. We look after our own and absolutely love working together. We are really picky about who we hire and as a result, everyone you end up working with will be fun, super-talented, honest, driven, confident, passionate and just a little bit quirky – just like you.
  • The happiness of our team matters to us, and we’re really forward-thinking when it comes to our work/life balance.
  • We are all obsessed with learning and honing our razor-sharp skills. As part of the CleverClicks team, we’ll dedicate at least half a day every week to upskilling you and making you better at what you love. We regularly send team members to Boston/Vegas/Seattle or where ever a great conference may be to pick up new skills.
  • Your success will be measured by results achieved, not effort expended. In fact, if you can do a better job in less time we encourage that.
