A FREE PRESS DOES NOT COME FOR FREE.
President Jacob Zuma allegedly helped to clinch a $2-million (R13-million then) investment for his nephew”s controversial mining company, Aurora Empowerment Systems.
The claim by a director of international investment firm Global Emerging Markets (Gem) suggests that Zuma involved himself personally – despite having a clear conflict of interest given that his nephew, Khulubuse Zuma, was a director of Aurora.
The Gem director”s claim is buttressed by circumstantial evidence.
To make matters worse, Gem was led to pay the money into what appears to be a dummy account from which, according to a high court claim it filed, the cash was diverted.
There is no evidence the president or Khulubuse were involved in the claimed misappropriation.
Zuma”s alleged intervention – a July 2010 meeting that gave Gem the confidence to invest – came while Aurora was desperate to raise funds to make good on its bid to buy the Pamodzi gold mines out of liquidation.
Presidential spokesperson Mac Maharaj confirmed receiving detailed questions on Monday afternoon. By Thursday at 10am, he indicated there was no response from the presidency. (See “No. 1″s nod-and-wink meetings”)
