After being confronted about the contradiction by City Press’ sister publication, Rapport, the leader of the official opposition did an about-turn and said he actually rents the home from a friend.According to deeds office records, the house – situated in Claremont, which is about 13km from Parliament – is owned by a shelf company that has Durban businessman Wessel Jacobs as its sole director and shareholder.
The company bought the house for R3.85 million in September 2017. A bond of R2.55 million was registered over the property in 2018. Jacobs said that the remainder was paid out of his own pocket.Despite Maimane’s declaration before Parliament, he said last week that the house in Claremont did not belong to him but was leased at a “market-related” rate.
MPs are usually not required to disclose leased homes on their declarations of members’ interests, as long as the rent was market related. Jacobs is the owner of Jacobs Capital, a private investment company in Durban, and is a trustee of Maimane’s family trust, Kgalaletso Kgosi Trust. MP Glynnis Breytenbach is chairperson of the DA’s federal legal commission, which conducts disciplinary investigations and hearings.It is understood that there has been discomfort over Maimane’s declarations within the DA caucus for some time.However, the findings of this investigation were not made known, and were only shared with Maimane.
MmusiMaimane What an irrelevant person.
Nazo ke!!! SA is burning Mmusi also misled the Parliament.. Question is Who should we trust? DA backs Mmusi Maimane on house saga via IOL
He has white blessers leave him alone!!!
Could this be the beginning of the end?🤔
Yah stupid
Were is mkhwebanisi now!
No issue here, own or rent
Liar
How many people in SA own a house, which belongs to the bank? Or the cars or the monthly shopping tours ?
I really don’t see the problem. Owning as legal owner or owning in possessing a good ?
It like Musi also thinking he is the leader of the DA.
Show me one politician that gets into politics to be poor ? Mmusi is just the ANC in blue , given the chance he would self enrich as well
How can you register something that is not yours?...you can't register the hired car.its not yours....isqashi asihlabi lapho siqashe khona.its not your house.
Vote VFPlus in the next election.
Is he renting his white wife as well lol 😂
Did Mmusi lie to parliament? He may have.
why rent at R4M why not buy ?
Silly guy - doesn’t he know the difference between owning and renting? Naive!
So the man of God can lie too? He is not as clean as he claims to be!
He lied
If I were him I would have said it is a rent-to-buy house.
Not a friend in the tobacco industry , I assume
So what is a big deal?
So, MmusiMaimane Mr perfect lied to parliament? he he he!
This is a non-issue. Seriously. Get a grip.
Is the issue that he registered a house he doesn’t own?🤷🏽♀️Shouldn’t it be an issue if he did own it but didn’t declare it?🤷🏽♀️
😂😂😂
Die hande in die koekie houer.
There is so much questions than answers on this issue
😂😂😂😂 Corruption that he always talk about thinking he is clean.
Well well well, the PublicProtector needs to investigate if MmusiMaimane with the knowledge of the Our_DA MISLED parliament or not? I am laying an official charge😁
He’s doing a Ramaphosa. “Misleading Parliament”. Where’s the PP at? 🤣
When it's an *asset* register, right?
This guy is a joke, period.
they are booting him OUT, you who “they” behave
Misled parliament.
