    It was something of a dark day for president Jacob Zuma yesterday, the ConCourt’s damning judgement followed by politicians taking aim.

    Mmusi, Terror Lekota – you name an opposition party leader, I can assure you they didn’t play nice. Then there’s Julius Malema, who stole the limelight with a stinging attack on his former compadre.

    After claiming that the EFF would never allow JZ to speak in parliament again, even saying they would physically prevent him, he went into a rant about Zuma’s recent visit to the United Arab Emirates. Below from TimesLive:

    “Zuma was in UAE recently in Dubai. That was not an official visit, it was a personal one. Zuma took money to UAE. That is where they are dumping money. The Guptas have taken R6 billion to Dubai,” Malema told reporters at a press conference following the Constitutional Court judgment.

    “Zuma goes to Dubai on some unexplained trip. Why did Zuma go to Dubai? Because when Zuma travels, he doesn’t get searched by customs. He left with bags of money to be dumped in Dubai. That is where they are dumping our money with the Guptas.”

    The Presidency has confirmed the trip, but said he was there to talk trade and promote South Africa as a tourist destination. Julius didn’t buy this:

    “He goes there and says he is talking about tourism, where was the minister of tourism? That’s a personal trip aimed at stealing money from this country. Zuma wanted to capture [the] Treasury and have access directly to the Reserve Bank so that they can literally take the money straight into Dubai not through this thing of tenders, its delaying them,” he said.

    “They are dumping money in Dubai. Listen to us South Africa; we will prove it with time. We are saying to you Guptas have put R6bn which left without following channels of the Reserve Bank. They didn’t follow the procedures.”

    I’m no expert but my guess is that R6 billion in cash is going to take up a fair bit of space. Then again we know Zuma is flying around in style, although he’s probably put that request for a new jet on hold after yesterday’s events.
