Joni, Ka Plaatjie did not say corruption is exusable. I am not defending the indefensible. The premise of Ka Plaatjie's argument was that there ought to be an inquest conducted by the JSC on the whole Arms deal saga. He made it clear that the French company lost out in the tendering process and immediately after meeting with Mbeki in France, they got the deal. This is no coincidence. Therefore, everybody and anybody who looted, has to face the music.
Justice must be applied equally and consistently, you know that better. Targeting Zuma who had no authority to approve the Arms deal while protecting those who approved it and benefited, is selective justice. We either end the Zuma Case or we let all of those whose hands are dirty stand trial for the Arms deal. This is the proper context of that statement. Luxande Our argument as PAM is a very principled one. We are not singing the Song of the DA and all reactionary parties. We are not defending corruption nor anybody. We want justice to apply equally and consistently to all. > > Joni, this is not you writting this and will not even attempt to engage > with. Son you defending the indefensible.
