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
Where was he all along to come out now because Jamnandas is under fire by DD?
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.

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 😟.

Abasuke ku Kati Elimnyama.
I want them whn they are fighting one another.
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
ANC was one broke and there was a drug boom.... Just saying
