LETTER FROM MOUNT FRERE: Zukile Majova says that former enemies are uniting in a massive plot to unseat President Cyril Ramaphosa and Chief Justice Raymond Zondo.
The saying that an enemy of my enemy is my friend has united Julius Malema’s Economic Freedom Fighters with Jacob Zuma’s Radical Economic Transformation faction in the ANC, in a massive plot to unseat both President Cyril Ramaphosa and Chief Justice Raymond Zondo from their powerful positions.
At the heart of the campaign is a so-called dossier of secret information known to former spy boss Arthur Fraser who feels “scapegoated” and betrayed by Ramaphosa and treated unfairly by Zondo.
The allegation is that Zondo deliberately allowed evidence into the Zondo Commission which tarnished Fraser’s integrity and then refused him the opportunity to look his accusers in the face.
Dismissing Fraser’s application to cross-examine some witnesses, Zondo said: “The applicant has not complied with the rule in relation to identifying in the affidavits of the witnesses exactly the paragraphs and parts of the paragraphs that he disputes which implicate him and what his version is in regard to them.”
The decision in late November 2021 infuriated Fraser, unleashing a tsunami of anger that had been building up for a while.
Loyiso Jafta, then Acting DG at the State Security Agency, has implicated Fraser in the looting of over R9 billion to prop up and protect the Zuma regime over a period of 10 years.
Fraser’s lawyer Advocate Muzi Sikhakhane, who was also Zuma’s lawyer, told the commission his client had explosive information that could compromise the state, the current and previous presidents along with senior members of the judiciary.
Of all the people implicated in various investigations including the High Level Review Panel into the SSA chaired by Dr Sydney Mufamadi, Fraser was aggrieved to be the only one accused of treason.
Sikhakhane claimed his client was prepared to break his oath of office and reveal who exactly was subverting the state and talk to things that “related to the President, or the presidents of this country, past and current. That relates to the judges. That relates to the parliamentarians.”
The events of the past week which include the revelation of an alleged $4 million robbery cover-up at Ramaphosa’s Phala Phala Farm are part of phase one of the “Fraser Dossier”.
The campaign is also designed to discredit the results of the State Capture Commission, ensuring Zondo does not finish his two-year term as chief justice.
The former spy boss allegedly has “irrefutable evidence” of collusion between judges and the executives, along with details of members of the judiciary who benefited from the CR17 campaign fund.
