Former state security minister Bongani Bongo claimed on Friday that a faction within the ANC was behind his prosecution because it believed he had access to files containing the names of “spies”.
Hlophe went further‚ saying that Vanara didn’t report the matter to the police‚ instead reporting it to parliament‚ because in Hlophe’s view‚ he himself didn’t believe what Bongo had done was a crime. Hlophe said DA MP John Steenhuisen gave an incorrect statement to the Hawks when he finally reported the matter to them in 2018. Steenhuisen had claimed that Bongo had “bribed” Vanara‚ insinuating that money was paid.
The RET faction’s members are proponents of a conspiracy theory that Stellenbosch is the physical home of “white monopoly capital” and the seat of opposition to issues such as land expropriation without compensation. In fact‚ Vanara had travelled to Stellenbosch where his senior managers were in a National Education‚ Health‚ and Allied Workers’ Union conference to report the matter to them.
Cleared by Hlophe, but he is as guilty as hell.🤣 and he must prepare to come back.
