In a shocking turn of events, Zizi Kodwa, the former ANC cabinet minister, has filed a legal bid to have corruption charges against him dropped. Yes, you read that right – the same Zizi Kodwa who was arrested in June over alleged corruption and bribery linked to IT services group EOH Holdings.
According to a report by News24, Kodwa’s lawyer, Zola Majavu, claimed that the state’s case against his client is "palpably weak" and that the bulk of his representations to the Gauteng director of public prosecutions point to shortcomings in the state’s case.
But don’t be fooled – this is just a desperate attempt by Kodwa to avoid facing the music. The evidence against him is mounting, and it’s only a matter of time before he’s brought to justice.
The Web of Corruption
Kodwa’s co-accused, former EOH executive Jehan Mackay, has also made similar representations in court. But what’s really going on here is a web of corruption that goes all the way to the top.
As we reported earlier, Mackay was at the center of corruption allegations involving payments to senior ANC figures, including Kodwa. And now, it seems that Kodwa is trying to distance himself from the allegations by claiming that the state’s case is weak.
The Truth Will Come Out
But the truth will come out, and it’s only a matter of time before Kodwa’s corruption is exposed for all to see. The people of South Africa deserve to know the truth about what’s going on in their government, and it’s up to us to demand accountability.
So, let’s keep the pressure on and make sure that Kodwa and his co-accused are held accountable for their actions. The people of South Africa deserve better than corruption and cronyism.
