The poor official opposition. They have suddenly become irrelevant. With Cyril moving the aNc towards the centre, the DA have found themselves wanting. julius knows this too - he's going all out to remain relevant. First it was the land - and now it's white people. It's too predictable - no-one knows what he's going to do next but expect white people to be at the bottom of it.
What our svelte freedom fighter doesn't see is that the aNc are going to steal his thunder. They will play along for the next six months and it that time they'll make it seem like it was their idea all along. I can't see that productive land will be expropriated without compensation but I can see that those who get the land will be expected to actually use it. juju will bleat and complain but the aNc will have screwed him over so badly at that point that his populism will have amounted to nothing.
The DA on the other hand are without a plan. They know that most people vote for them because they hated the aNc. They also know that a number of these people might not vote DA next time around. Now it's a scramble for relevance. But there's nothing left, nothing left to complain about, zuma's gone, all the dodgies will be gone soon. Wait - there's the guptas. Let's complain about their BEE certificates that have long expired and bring in the BEE Commissioner to save the day. I'm not sure what they are going to get out of this. It's certainly not going to be anywhere as much coverage as the effol get when they spew their anti-white (who are the cause of ALL ills in the world) vitriol. What they want is to show that the verification agency is another KPMG. They want to show that there was so much collusion with the guptas that it even permeated the beleaguered transformation industry.
It's pathetic. But I should explain why. There are three certificates that the DA allege are a problem. I can't see any issues with the BEE-Matrix certificates. They were issued under IRBA that was far more relaxed than SANAS is and they have files that support their findings. I think you'd be hard pressed to find that BEE-Matrix colluded with the guptas. In fact they told me that they never regarded the guptas as black - the shareholding in these certificates come from the likes of duduzane. The focus needs to be on the fourth BEE certificate which is an EME affidavit issued by Trillian on the 11th of April 2016. What this says is that they turned over less than R10m in the 2016 financial period. I think this certificate is the most dodgy of the lot.
Trillian and McKinsey were paid R1.6bn between April 2016 and February 2017 for joint consultancy work done in 2015 and 2016.
This quote comes from Business Day, Trillian were paid for fleecing Eskom (read us) from April 2016 to February 2017. This affidavit is most likely a lie and was hastily issued because Eskom needed a BEE certificate in order to pay them. Their turnover would have been a lot more than R10m for that period. If the commissioner wants an easy success here then she should ask for the Trillian financials over the last five years and see where the lie starts.
As for BEE-Matrix. I recommend them, I worked with them for years. They are thorough and very professional. Tell them I sent you.
