Malema also alleged that he has learnt from “a reliable source” that President Cyril Ramaphosa instructed the South African Revenue Service to vet the guests who attended the EFF’s gala dinner.
This followed a meeting between the president and Sars commissioner Edward Kieswetter that allegedly took place on 31 July, two days after the EFF’s rally at FNB Stadium. “Cyril has tasked the Sars commissioner to investigate all the guests that attended the EFF gala dinner due to extravagance and flamboyance displayed. The investigation by Sars is to determine the nature of the business interests of the guests, [whether] their tax affairs are up to date and if any of the guests are doing business with the state,” Malema told reporters.
“This is politicians wanting to use the state to settle political scores and when we raise these points [the media] thinks we are just hallucinating. “The state is going to punish people for having taken a political choice, for having made a political choice and Panyaza is part of the people who are saying everybody who attended the EFF gala dinner, who gets a tender from our state must no longer get a tender because they take us for fools. So which criteria do we use, that only those who give money to the ANC are the ones who must get tenders?” he said.
