WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

The businessman who accused SA Communist Party leader Blade Nzimande of stealing a R500 000 donation that he made to the party now denies that he had opened a fraud charge against Nzimande.
Charles Modise said he had only lodged a complaint with the police to “emphasise” the importance of accountability.
Modise’s lawyer, Zehir Omar, said his client had never opened a fraud charge against Nzimande.
“With due respect, the police are wrong (about the fraud charge). There was never a fraud charge against Nzimande. Modise has the highest respect for Nzimande. He only lodged a complaint about lack of accountability in political parties,” said Omar.
However, Gauteng police spokesperson Director Govindsamy Mariemuthoo has previously confirmed that they were investigating a fraud charge laid by Modise against Nzimande.
Attempts to get fresh comments from Mariemuthoo on Sunday failed as his phone went unanswered and he did not respond to messages.
Fellow spokesperson Superintendent Eugene Opperman refused to comment on the matter, saying it was Mariemuthoo’s “baby”.
Modise made an affidavit to the police in April detailing how he had donated R500 000 to the SACP after he had been approached by Cosatu leader Willie Madisha to assist the struggling party, as reported by The Star last month.
The money was allegedly collected by Madisha, who is said to have handed it to Nzimande.
In the affidavit, Modise said he could not confirm whether Nzimande did in fact use the money for the purpose intended.
Madisha last week made a statement to the police after he was contacted regarding his involvement in the donation saga.
During an interview on SAfm last week, Madisha confirmed that he had received the R500 000 from Modise and had delivered it “where it was supposed to go”. He did not mention Nzimande’s name and would not give further details, saying the issue was sub judice.
