ICYMI: Jan Venter has accused David Mabuza of having paid him R2.5m in monthly tranches to do his dirty work, lie under oath against ANC veteran Mathews Phosa and move money and guns around for years.

Johannesburg - Deputy President David Mabuza's former messenger, Jan Venter, has denied that he laid criminal charges against him to settle personal and political scores at the behest of other people.

Insisting that he was not a hired gun out to discredit and destroy Mabuza, Venter told Independent Media on Friday that he laid charges against the former Mpumalanga premier of corruption, bribery and money laundering in May 2018, because he wanted the truth about his former boss to be known. He accused Mabuza of having paid him R2.5million in monthly tranches of between R40 000 and R100 000 to do his dirty work, lie under oath against ANC veteran Mathews Phosa and move money and guns around for years, until their falling out last year.

Venter said he approached the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation two years ago to hand himself over - “not to cut a deal” - for his alleged criminal activities with Mabuza because he wanted to repent and be forgiven by God. “Mabuza asked me to say I saw Phosa draft a spy report against him, and I lied about it because he asked me to. But I am not innocent. Not at all. I am as guilty as Mabuza. That's why I drove to the Hawks. I thought it was much safer for me being in jail than being outside here,” Venter said.

PravinMustGo TitoMboweniMustGo

We dont care tell us when is this rubbish pravin is resigning

Predictable

PravinMustGo

Criminal

troyb53 Dirty tricks Mabuza?

FW de Klerk murdered innocent black people

Chicken has an age old tendency of coming home to roost...

In other parts of the civilized world this would've been a big scandal and the Deputy President would've been suspended by now and forced to step down, but in Africa generally and South Africa in particular, it's just another day!🙏

Case number please

SAPoliceService must arrest this criminal for accepting bribes for many years

Kkkkk media this comes up when you only go against the preveledged

DD got case to answer, we won't allow a dodgy president as Zuma has shown us flames

So JanVenterIsGreedyAndStupid

Lol 😂 Jamnandas doesn't play like that

Its getting interesting in the ANC

Then both should face the music

Everyone wants Pravin to go. But they will just employ another idiot incompetent cadre in his place. And ESKOM will continue to rot and be destroyed. These people are all interchangeable fools

Well that was quick. You have been digging in the dustbins again.

How much did Jamna promise Jan Venter for this dirty article?

And people died in Mpumalanga in numbers. You lots have short memories.

Why is this only coming out after DD told us about the people who misled the President?

We need younger people in the top 6 people they have no dirt on, please!!!!! 🤔

Pravin is still going anyway

The smear campaign tactic is TIRED guys,aren't u guys tired of being Pravin's Lapdogs

Why people always go to newspapers to share stories but they don't share evidence to support their stories, its time accusers n newspapers share a story n share evidence on the the same newspaper n we as a nation we can pressure NPA/HAWKS/SAPS to arrest prosecute n more.

Paid media here trying to distract us from removing Pravin Gordan.

So you are going to drag these useless headline. Defend you evil PG at all costs but history will judge you harshly. Bloody agents!!

Lol... Media is too predictable

It late🤣🤣🤣🤣he must bring that money back if it corruption and he himself must be arrested

Trying everything and anything for Pravin Shwem these controlled editors are also falling for this

DD yisgelekeqe maar esiguqukile bafethu

Arrest this Jan Venter, he confessed to crimes... From his arrest and interrogation, then we can move forward, otherwise it is just another attack on DD without merits

Where was he all along?

DDMabuza Pravin must fall. Dark or Blue

For now our leader of government business is fixing our SOEs. She/he can try next of next year

DD is smarter..he went to the integrity committee first before taking his cabinet post. They can't use it now for cooked up stories. 9livesActivated

DDMabuza presser leadership, it's about time all Ministers are held responsible including PravinGordhan

We know the drill now, no suprises here.

PravinMustGoNow PravinMustgo PravinMustFall

Take that for touching Pravin 😂😂😂

All this just to protect Pravin

Pravin must Go

The writing is in the wall paraffin must vacate the office he has been a snake for long enough

Remember, he is a self-confessed liar...

Media is misleading us again like Pravin misled the president 😂

Can the media change it’s modus operandi just once in awhile, just surprise us neh

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 so he remember that after the Cat said Pravin misled the President Julius_S_Malema warned us that Pravin is dangerous now we see for ourselves sgebengu lento EFFSouthAfrica don't believe this story

PoliticsL Nonsense. PG is up to his tactics and is trying to diverge

And he is a heart attack away to become the president of South Africa - G Help us...... Not sure how he became the Vice President - he cannot even answer questions properly.

That Jan Venter must hand himself over to the police first, together with prove of bank statement & the guns; We will start taking him serious after that 😟.

Pravin fighting back

We are busy with Pravin please

The gloves are off someone is going to die

Someone is about to crash his car into a pillar

This guy is crooked as they come.

Pravin is vacating office.

Can you please write about the fact that we want pravin to resign? We're not interested in this DD story cos we are aware of the reasons why you'd publish this

The ANC is just one whole mental hospital

Pravin controls the media in South Africa. Mabuza speaks out and tells the country that Pravin and the Eskom board misled the president. The next day Mabuza is in the news for having paid people money to do his dirty work. We remain resolute and unshaken PravinMustGo

Jan Venter is no hero and instead he should be charge with perjury. SAPoliceService

Uyasiqhela lowo ubethule ngelaxesha enikwa imali uzovela ngoku kuba kutheni makayeke uDD

SAA desperate for state’s R2bn cashSAA is headed towards another uncomfortable payment deadline as government has yet to pay the R2 billion bailout it promised the beleaguered airline in October. OperationDestroyTheState and leave it beyond repairs! Funny how the media would go for Dudu Myeni yet there was a white man who sold SAA planes to his wife’s company & SAA leased them from that company! OUTASA was quiet! And you support this Racism How long must we wait If there was an SOE to be fully privatized is SAA. It does not provide a public good and locally it is overpriced vs privately owned carriers. So at this point the public is subsiding a selected few to fly overseas, which can afford other airlines.
