More than two weeks after ActionSA filed criminal charges against Minister Sisi Tolashe, with the docket already under investigation by the Hawks, the DA now appears ready to waste police resources and time by laying charges on a matter that is already being probed.
Following the exposé arising from a series of questions submitted by ActionSA, alongside the investigative work of the Daily Maverick, the criminal case against Tolashe is before the Hawks and progressing accordingly, with further work underway to expand the probe. This is further supported by our complaints to the Public Protector and Parliament’s Ethics Committee.
If the DA or any other party is genuinely concerned about the merits, rather than clawing for relevance, they are welcome to engage us and we will supply the contact details of the relevant Hawks officials so that any supplementary information they may have can be submitted directly into an investigation that is already underway, rather than duplicating a process for the sake of political optics.
ActionSA is actively pursuing further leads and working to expose additional Ministers where there is credible information of involvement in this unfolding scandal, which is increasingly pointing to a pattern of self-service at the highest levels in ANC ancillary structures. ActionSA has already called for the dismissal of Minister Tolashe and will do the same for others implicated in this “cars for certain cadres” scheme.
The alternative is for the President to sit on his hands, watching his lying comrades being arrested and brought before court for what is rapidly emerging as a coordinated effort to act outside the law by those entrusted to uphold it.

They get picked up from the airport in a london black cab and head off into the city for some adventure.
The cab driver say \”where you from guvnor?
Husband. \”we\’re from South Africa\”..
The wife is a little hard of hearing asks her husband.
\”What did he say?\”
The husband turns to his wife and says louder \”the cab driver asked us where we were from, I told him South Africa!\”
The cabbie continues \”I was in the merchant navy years back… I got to drop anchor down your way, a few times in Johannesburg\”
The husband replies \”oh wow that\’s where we\’re from originally, now we\’re in Cape Town.\”
The wife asks the husband again \”what did he say?\”.
The husband again relays the unheard conversation \”the cab driver says he spent some time in the navy and went down to joberg\”.
The wife smiles and nods.

Voetsek! – Go away! [foot-sak] Usually said with an angry tone when telling someone to go away or get lost. You don’t want to be saying this to a local or worse, if a local says this to you – you’ve really angered them!
