Aurora Empowerment Systems

Sunday Times revealed at the weekend that President Jacob Zuma’s lawyer is yet another prominent figure in Sassa’s grants crisis.

The finalisation of liquidation proceedings should at least give them some temporary relief.

Khulubuse Zuma sold off his rich trappings and claims he is nearly broke – but liquidators believe there’s much more.

Pretoria high court finds directors of Aurora, including Khulubuse Zuma and Zondwa Mandela, guilty of stripping the assets of Pamodzi Gold’s mines.

The president’s nephew and cohorts have been ordered to pay the miners they abandoned.

The application was dismissed with costs, with the judge saying Zuma’s interests were not directly affected.

Liquidators of Pamodzi have confirmed that they would be filing a complaint against President Jacob Zuma’s lawyer Michael Hulley on Monday.

Jacob Zuma’s legal adviser Michael Hulley said his involvement in Aurora was limited, but the liquidators say otherwise.

Controversial Bhana family not giving in

A meeting with the president appears to have persuaded an investment firm to give millions to empowerment firm Aurora, which others ‘misappropriated’.

Julius Malema’s attempts to capitalise on the Marikana mine shootings continued on Thursday as he visited Grootvlei gold mine on the East Rand.

The National Union of Mineworkers wants MPs to rework liquidation laws so that workers are paid out before investors when companies go bankrupt.

Businessman Khulubuse Zuma owes the eThekwini metro police R28 950 in outstanding traffic fines. The metro cops may have to wait in line, however.

Liquidators say Solly and Fazel Bhana were behind the collapse of the Pamodzi gold mines, stripping the mines’ assets while workers went unpaid.

Some of Khulubuse Zuma’s assets have been auctioned but this has done little to sate the appetite of a ravenous public keenly awaiting his punishment.
