Julius Malema is not a liar - Tumi Mokwena

TUMI MOKOENA'S STATEMENT ON REPORTS ABOUT JULIUS SELLO MALEMA

Mr. Julius Sello Malema has been our client since 2004. We have since then been providing legal assistance to Mr. Malema in a transparent and honest way. As Legal representatives of Mr. Malema, we accepted, understood and respect the position taken by the ANC Youth League not to take any further media enquiries concerning the truth statement communicated by Mr. Malema on the 22nd of February 2010. But because of the ongoing allegations around Mr Malema's business interests, we deem it necessary to put things in proper perspective and re-affirm the realities he mentioned on the 22nd of February 2010. Our relations with Mr. Malema are always confidential, but because some of the reports in the public discourse have potential to damage his integrity as a person and leader of the African National Congress Youth League, we agreed with the leadership of the ANC Youth League to convene this press briefing to put to rest the issues raised.

On the 22nd of February 2010, Mr. Malema said the following, "Since my election as President of the ANC Youth League in 2008, I instructed my Lawyers to process my resignations from all the corporations and companies I was involved in when I was based in Limpopo Province. I issued the instruction because I vowed to dedicate all my time to serve and give undivided attention to the ANC Youth League as a full time President. I from 2008 stopped being an active director of the companies that I was previously involved in because all my time was dedicated to the service of the organisation. I refused to take any other responsibility, including going to Parliament, because I committed to work for the ANC on a full time basis as mandated by the 23rd National Congress of the Youth League" (see here).

This statement by Mr. Malema is true and these are things we have done as his legal representative to ensure that his instructions are fulfilled. We issue this information because when Mr. Malema was responding to questions from Journalists about the proof that he resigned, he recurrently advised members of the media to contact us as his legal representatives to get the documented proof that he has resigned. None of you came to enquire with us about that, but continued running stories that he is still a Director of these companies. Only E-News Channel enquired with us and we showed them the proof that he has resigned, but they ignored the information we gave them for reasons not known to us.

1. DE-REGISTRATION FROM VARIOUS COMPANIES

Shortly following his election as President of the ANC Youth League, Mr Malema gave instructions that he be removed form directorship he held in various companies including, 101 Junjus Trading, Blue Nightingale Trading 61, Ever Roaring Investment, Nkgape Mining Investment.

The instructions were immediately carried out the said companies were informed and documentation was lodged with the Companies and Intellectual Property Registration office.

The official documents and website of CIPRO reflect the status of the said companies "de-registration in process".

2. SGL ENGINEERING PROJECTS (PTY) LTD

Mr Malema was not aware of the Directorship in this Company which is said to have commenced on 06th of May 2009, and did not sign any document to accept directorship of SGL, neither did he give us the power to sign on his behalf.

Immediately after reports of his directorship, Mr Malema gave instructions that he must also be removed from SGL. We are currently in progress to verify if he is indeed so registered and will take the matter up with the concerned Company.

We can confirm that we are talking to the said officials of the said Company to understand if he indeed listed as a Director, and the reasons behind such. Since his election as President of the ANC Youth League, he was never an active director of SGL and never partook in any of its operations.

What we can confirm at this stage however, is that prior to the conversion of SGL into a Private Company, from a Close Corporation, Mr Malema was a member of the CC, and has since denounced his membership and ceased to partake in its operations. It has however been reported in certain publications that Mr Malema had "lied"  in denying having signed any papers to become a member of SGL Engineering Projects (Pty) Ltd.

We wish to state categorically that the signature appearing on the City Press edition of 28 February 2010 is not that of Mr Malema and we have instructions to source the origin of the alleged form. Mr Malema is deeply disturbed by suggestions that he lied and acts of publishing a false signature as if it is his. We are to that end considering possible recourse.

Our efforts to do so were not met favourably by the City Press which has claimed what they term "source protection". The veracity thereof remain questionable however, we will do all in our power to get to the heart of the matter. It is important to note that participation in business activity by Mr Malema does not fall foul of any law and he has no reason therefore, to conceal his business interest where he has any.

It is also alarming that on Tuesday, 22nd February 2010, a team from e-news channel had an interview with us, at which we gave them a copy of the Company status extracted from CIPRO (as mentioned above), indicating that Mr. Malema is in the process of de-registering from the said companies. Our communication somehow never made it to their bulletin on that evening or subsequently, whilst most news agencies continued to report that Mr. Malema has not resigned from these companies. We do not the reason why they did not report about that because they continued to broadcast that he is still a Director of these companies, despite valid information that the contrary is true. We will again give E-News Channel and other members of the media the documents from CIPRO to prove that he is in the process of de-registering and hope that this time, such will be properly reflected in reports.

We wish to request members of the media that whilst they retain the right to report and write reports about our client, they should avoid impinging on his integrity as a citizen of South Africa protected by the country's rights and regulations.

Thank You.

So, will your VIP client be sueing City Press or not?? Stalemate on the directorships? Settle it in court (both sides can afford it), SA deserves it... AND we still have various outstanding stories here, but only one set of true facts. The cars, properties, watches, salaries, . .more companies, directorships, VIPs, all exist - these are said to have been seen & can be proved it seems. The mismatch is in the ongoing variation of stories:- 1. The Star & City Press; 2. ANCYL & Julius & Tumi Mokwena. Solution: Give all sides an opportunity to prove or disprove the story parts under dispute, publicly; indeed require them to do so. Better still, start the court actions (as Julius has threatened).

Difference between deregistering a company and a director resigning Cipro is in the process of deregistering companies that have not submitted their annual returns, regardless of who the directors are. For Mokwena to link the two is pure spin and suggests he is as honourable as Hannig wrote. Resigning, or . .more attempting to resign a directorship, has nothing to do with the shareholding. That's why in democracies politicians & people in areas of influence put their investments into "blind trusts". Malema might still be a shareholder of these companies, perhaps through nominees or one of the anonymous family trusts that the kleptocrats favour. Malema *did* successfully resign from Ngkape Mining (perhaps so as to be able to call for nationalisation of mineral wealth). This debunks the spin that his attorney or Cipro bungled his "resignations". Why did "they" get it right with Ngkape but not SGL and the others? The Big Question, one posed by the Prevention and Combatting of Corruption Act as well as the poltical question, is: Did Malema or any of his cronies BENEFIT from the tenders given to an engineering company, one that is brand-new and with no track record?. If Malema has driven cars or drunk Scotch, etc paid for by the companies or their true owners/directors, he has received a benefit, which invokes all the tax-compliance and poltical questions the media and opposition are raising. . .less by Theseus on March 03 2010, 06:56 Find this comment inappropriate?

Directorship aside...question is, is he a shareholder? A CC converted into a company only means that his members interest was converted into ordinary shares and member into a director.

Juju the Fat One 1. First he was a Director and had resigned, but now he was never a Director. Actually folks, the issue of him being a Director is basically a load of C***.

(Remember Alan Hiscock from MacMed days.....he was only Company Secretary yet he "handled" many of the business negotiations that should have been someone else's function. He played the "role" of a Director without being one and dragged the whole group into liquidation...all this when he was an unrehabilitated insolvent!)

Vuyo Kahle Buti, Not on a "Sunday" my bra. Know what you are talking about. Julius himself admitted on SAFM (T Modise) that salaries were improved after Phosa became Head of ANC Treasury. This means it was after Dec 2007 so the 7 yrs of good salary is a . .more nonstarter. We know Mbalula earned far less money whilst he was President of the ANCYL. Malema only took the reigns in 2008. So his better salary would have come in after that. Now explain to me where did he get money to fund a deposit of more than R150k excluding transfer fees when he bought a house in Limpopo? Ask the same question again for the Sandton purchase. The bond is R1.5 for R3.6m acquisition, how was the differece funded? I have nt spoken about an AMG 63. But we can seettle this, lets check whether there are monthly debit orders servicing these debts. This will bring us closer to the truth. It will be difficult I know to connect the dots if you yourself have not bought a house through the bank. Some of us have repeatedly. The issue here is that Juju as a potential leader could be mortgaging his future on some unscrupulous people. Let us not make the same mistake again for his sake and that of the ANC. . .less by Gambu on March 03 2010, 11:39 Find this comment inappropriate? Report it

Ignorance is bliss! Part 1 De-registration in process does not mean that Malema resigned as a director. It means that the company/ies are being de-registered due to non-payment and completion of the Annual Returns of the company/ies in question. The only other alternative is that . .more the directors and shareholders of the company/ies have requested that the company/ies be deregistered (only applicable to inactive companies - active companies have to be liquidated). A resignation of a director is done through the handing of a letter of resignation to the company/ies concerned - not your attorneys. Malema, where is your letter of resignation to the company/ies concerned? The company concerned, or its duly authorised representative/company secretary then lodges a form CM 29 with CIPRO. This can not be done without a letter of resignation from the director concerned. A CM 29 is then lodged either in electronic format (the resignation is lodged and processed through the CIPRO website and a new CM 29 is received without the resigning director's name on within 10 minutes of lodgement) or in paper format and submitted to the CIPRO offices. In both cases CIPRO logs the lodgements. In the case of electronic lodgement the lodger immediately receives an acknowledgement of lodgement which can be printed. The CIPRO RECORDS DO NOT INDICATE ANY SUCH LODGEMENT. If you can not produce any proof of lodgement, then it is highly probable that no lodgement was ever made. . .less by Ma'at on March 03 2010, 12:04 Find this comment inappropriate? Report it

Ignorance is bliss! Part 2 Only the duly authorised agent of the Company/ies can lodge the CM 29 Being duly authorised means that the Board of directors passes a resolution authorising the attorney or a person (natural or legal) to interact with CIPRO on the company's behalf. . If . .more the attorneys are not the duly authorised agents, then by submitting a CM 29 he/she commits fraud. Where are the Board resolutions Mr. Makoena? Upon the conversion of a CC to a company a director has to provide his/her written consent in the form of a CM 27. The form that showed a supposed signature by Malema is not a CM 27. CIPRO will not convert a CC into a company without such duly signed form attached to the application and if Malema's CM 27 was not attached to the application, then he would not have been registered as a director. Thus signed CM 27 form was attached. . .less by Ma'at on March 03 2010, 12:06 Find this comment inappropriate? Report it

It is common knowledge in the RSA .... If someone is telling a liar = On refers to being "Malemared". So be it as it may, this little Malema runt brought it all on himself, just like the majority of the incompetent civil servants and politicians in this country who are unable to accept . .more responsibility - it is always someone elses fault! I wonder what "Malemas" the #1 big black hunter and his entourage are telling the British, eish you expats, we need you, whilst in the meantime there are many unemployed engineers, etc. in SA who are unable to be gainfully employed directly as a result of the Government's affirmative action policies. If an expat has found a niche somewhere overseas, stay there guys, why must one come back to job insecurity, crime, and restricted freedom of movement resultant of the prevailing crime levels in the RSA which seem to be propagated by the ANC government? . .less by Zorba on March 03 2010, 12:11 Find this comment inappropriate?

Does Julius have an uncle in the furniture business too? Just wondering how he managed to get so many discounts. You dont need to have a lot of money to live large. You just need big fire sale discounts. Like a top of the range vehicle for only one rand. A house in the burbs for only five rand. Ja its . .more simple. Get big discounts and live large.

these lawyers... seem to me to have made outrageously incorrect statements. They seem to think their duty is to a man rather than to the law. From reading many of the comments above it is rather clear to me that the correct documentary flow duly authorised by those . .more required to authenticate the documents has been perverted. My suspicion is that the lawyers actually know very little about the process of document lodgement and are spinning in the wind trying to put up a legalistic case for malema. I would suggest that these lawyers have behaved in a way that brings discredit to their profession, more that they are attempting to pervert justice and are therefore liable to a charge of corruption and due process within the legal community.maybe one of their "silent" partners is the Hlope one? . .less by Cassandra on March 03 2010, 14:14 Find this comment inappropriate?

Media Buffons Cant be Trusted - All taking brown envelopes Media can not be trusted. They said JZ was guilty of corruption, but they could not com up with one shred of evidence after years of railing. They said JZ was guilty of Rape. The judge said he wasn't. Now with Julius Malema they are acting like hounds, . .more but no real evidence to speak of just hearsay and conjecture and a few weak attempts at forging signatures. The media can't be trusted. They are Biased in the extreme. Inthe pockets of the Anglo elite. They and their cronies got kicked out of the political center with Polokwane. Now they are scrambling digging up crumbs in order to regain their illgotten position. The country belongs to the people. This is not Europe. Your shenanigans wont fly in Afrika.

lawyer Malema is falling behind. every ANC person accused of something has dropped their black lawyer and gone to a white one to get off the hook. Malema will loose if he keeps his black pal on board. by Peter on March 04 2010, 08:40 Find this comment inappropriate? Report it

The reason he can run amok Is that he has something on Mom and Dad at the ANC. He knows where the sex toys are and has threatened to bring them to the attention of the dinner guests. He has dirt on those up high or they are so dirty that his looting looks like amateur . .more stuff. Besides the "loot" is all supplied by white tax payers so he is considered a robin hood of Africa. Unfortunately Mslosi doesn't read very fast (as evident by all those doing the parlament nod at Buckingham palace) so they never got to the part in the bedtime story where Robin gives the loot to the poor. "Aluta Continua" as used in the African context probably means "let the Looting Continue" A quick visit to "Tumi Mokwena"'s facebook site would indicate his friends are all black(where are all the white friends?) and he is part of a blacks only management forum and blacks only legal association.
