The capture of South Africa

State Capture? No, Country capture….

So here’s the thing. In 2005 Mbeki removed Zuma from office of the Deputy President of South Africa. That’s only 11 years ago folks.

In December 2007 Mbeki lost the leadership battle for the ANC in Polokwane against Zuma. This was a massive embarrassment for the man that publically and shamelessly stated AIDS was not caused by the HIV virus. (Damn foolish view if you ask me, a layman!)

In September 2008 “Judge” Chris Nicholson ruled Zuma’s corruption charges were unlawful, citing procedural grounds. So by 21 September 2008 Mbeki was deemed to be unfit to lead SA, after the ANC NEC turned their backs on him. Mbeki resigned. In 2009 Zuma became the President.

Few people realize that what Zuma did and is still planning to do to South Africa is decades in the making. Zuma, as Nkonto We Sizwe military strategist, went into exile in the 80’s to become the Head of Underground Structures and thereafter Chief of the Intelligence Department. These two positions in combination equipped Zuma to not only gather intelligence on the enemy, (white Nationalists), but even more to his advantage, intelligence on his own people.

Thus Zuma was entrusted and empowered by the ANC with the tools to start building a future for himself, and surround himself with an impenetrable fortress of loyalists. Those who fell into distrust and those who realized what Zuma was doing, capturing not only the state but the country, and stood up against Zuma and his private army of cadres, cronies, director generals and ministers were in many cases ostracized from the ANC (Mbeki et al) reviled, and even murdered (Joe Modise, Chris Hani).

Meanwhile the shrewd Jacob Zuma ensured he kept dirt on his private army members close at hand, making it impossible for most to turn against him.

Enter the Gupta family. There is no doubt in my mind that the Guptas befriended senior ANC members long, long before their plane landed in South Africa. Bear in mind that Zuma as Head of Underground Structures and Chief of the Intelligence Department became incredibly skilled in the covert art of smoke and mirrors. Such that he managed to deceive the courts in 2005 after he RAPED Kwhezi. As a matter of fact, Zuma was in a bad spot. He managed to turn the case by stating the sex was consensual and he took a shower afterwards. (Jonathan Zapiro won’t let him forget that one soon).

Zuma also laid the foundation for the single largest fraudulent scheme to date in South Africa, namely the Arms Deal.

Remember the 783 charges? That’s only the tip of the iceberg. Going forward, the Arms Deal, the theft of state assets such as the Strategic Oil Reserve (to name but one), and the illegal and blatant transfer of wealth from South Africa internationally will pale in insignificance compared to the planned capture of the Treasury, presently in progress.

Meanwhile, it is more and more doubtful if the Reserve Bank can still boast any gold reserves. This is such a top secret issue, no detail about South African gold reserves are published, nor is it even discussed. So where is the gold? On the subject, where’s Gadhafi’s gold? Remember, it came into South Africa soon before he was killed…

And so it happened that Zuma transferred ALL State Owned Enterprises to the Presidency. In other words, Zuma has become sole guardian of SOE enterprises and their assets. But. There is a PROBLEM. These belong to South Africa. Not to the Presidency. Not to the President. Not to his friends…..

How does this affect you and me? Let’s do a simple sum.

We all now know it’s alleged that the Guptas laundered R6.8 billion. What is unknown is what the actual figure that has been stolen from South Africa to date is. Is it R100 billion? Is it a trillion rand? This is anybody’s guess, but my hunch tells me we should look closer to the trillion-rand figure than the R6.8 billion. So. Let’s for argument’s sake say it’s 200 billion rand.  What does this mean?

This means that R200 billion has left South Africa and been converted to US Dollars. (Or Euro or GB Pounds. Nevertheless, it has been converted. It will not remain in South African rand).

Let’s take the argument further. Let’s say up to now, the 200 billion rand have been converted at an average exchange rate of R12.00 to one US dollar. That is R200,000,000,000.00c converted to US dollars. The sum in US dollars is $16,666,666,666.66c

So the aim is to make money, right? How does Zuma and his associates do this quickly? Easy. Destabilize the country. Get rid of Pravin Ghordan. Seize the treasury. Now at this moment everything is under Zuma control. What next?

Remember, I said everything is under Zuma control, not that everything BELONGS to Zuma. Meanwhile, the rest of the world, the investment houses, banks, international corporations, foreign governments, et al all decide at once South Africa is a high risk country with an incredibly high investment risk. They start to punish us. Credit rating falls to ZZZ (Not really, there is no such rating, but still). And?

The South African Rand tanks.

Read this line CAREFULLY folks, because THIS is the aim.

The rand exchange rate changes to R60.00 to one US dollar. (Some financial analysts say this can be closer to R90.00 to the US Dollar). See where this is heading?

Remember, Zuma and the Guptas are sitting on a hypothetically $16,666,666,666.66c, and they are just itching to spend this. So change this back to ZAR (The international term for the South African Rand) and what do they have?

One Trillion Rand…… Or expressed in numbers, R1000,000,000,000.00

Let’s for argument sake say this process has taken 5 years. So in 60 months, Zuma and the Guptas have made FOUR TIMES the money they stole, excluding interest!

What if the original amount was not 200 billion rand, but closer to a trillion? The same principle applies.

Meanwhile, the SOE’s are by now in such massively deep brown stuff, that they have become skeletons of their successful past. Non-functioning and in some cases dormant. Bankrupt. What is at this point needed to get SOE’s up and running is INVESTMENT. PRIVATISATION. Bear in mind these SOE’s may have tripped and fallen flat on their faces. However, the skeletons they have left behind are tangible ASSETS. Infrastructure. Stuff that nobody without a few hundred billion rand or even a trillion or two can afford.

However, guess who can afford to buy the SOE’s? At a ridiculously low price? At fractions of a cent to the rand of their real value?

You guessed it folks. Jacob “bring my machine gun” Zuma and the Gupta brothers.

The next step will be privatization of SOE’s with the sub sequent buy-out of these by the thieves. Zuma and his band of thugs. And so, South Africa SOE’s becomes the property of thieves……

….whilst the rest of us starve and suffer in the process.

Electorate, take note. YOU that VOTED for the ANC that put this dangerous man at the head of South Africa, YOU bear ALL responsibility for this nonsense.
