Bantu Holomisa claims vindication in Sol Kerzner saga

United Democratic Movement leader General Bantu Holomisa remains resolute that he will continue lifting the lid on corruption – an act that saw him dismissed as a deputy minister in 1996 and led to his exit from the ANC.

In the prior decade, on January 17, 1989, after two years of investigations, Kerzner admitted in an affidavit to the Harms Commission, which was to inquire into alleged murders and unlawful acts of the security forces, that he had “foolishly and stupidly” given R2 million to then Transkei prime minister George Matanzima in December 1986 in order to obtain the Wild Coast Casino licence.

After being “branded a liar” by the ANC for also claiming that Kerzner funded the party’s inaugural elections campaign, he was “vindicated” by former president Nelson Mandela who, through the office of then deputy president Thabo Mbeki, confirmed that Kerzner, who at the time faced bribery charges, had in fact donated to the party’s coffers.

The UDM leader told City Press that his work was and still is “to continue the good fight and exposing any form of corruption or state capture”.

And you fvkt PE

Can he extend his crusading to NMB former mayor Bobani, please? Or are UDM members exempt from scrutiny?
