GOOD Statement by Brett Herron, GOOD Secretary-General:

The GOOD Party welcomes the long-overdue arrests of former Transnet executives Brian Molefe and Siyabonga Gama, who handed themselves over to police and are expected to appear in court later today.

According to media reports, the arrests relate to a dubious R93-million double payment linked to the procurement of 1,064 locomotives during Molefe’s tenure as Group CEO of Transnet between 2011 and 2015. This case is yet another example of the industrial-scale looting that took place under the cover of State Capture, a project that robbed South Africans of infrastructure, integrity, and justice.

We trust that the National Prosecuting Authority has built a watertight case and is ready to proceed swiftly with prosecution. After years of damning evidence, including testimony before the Zondo Commission, it is time for accountability to be seen and felt.

No one should be above the law. The arrest of high-profile figures like Molefe and Gama is a critical step in showing that there are consequences for abusing public office and plundering state institutions.

South Africans are watching, not just to see arrests, but to see convictions. The era of impunity must end.

  1. Fun South African Fact: Lions, elephants and giraffes may not roam the city streets, but nature and animals are never too far away in South Africa. From vervet monkeys swinging through tree-lined streets in the suburbs and baboons frolicking around Cape Point to seals visiting the Hout Bay harbour in search of a fishy snack and an array of bird species taking to the sky at any given moment. Wildlife is all around!

    So the German said, \”Shoot me right in the head.\” Boom, he was dead instantly.

    Then the Italian said, \”Just hang me.\” Snap! He was dead.

    Then it was Van der Merwe turn , and he said, \”Give me some of that AIDS stuff.\”

    They gave him the shot, and Van der Merwe fell down laughing. The guards looked at each other and wondered what was wrong with this guy.

    Then Van der Merwe said, \”Give me another one of those shots,\”so the guards did. Now he was laughing so hard, tears rolled from his eyes and he doubled over.

    Finally the warden said, \”What\’s wrong with you?\”

    Van der Merwe replied, \”You guys are so stupid…..

    I\’m wearing a condom.\”
