Adams is trying to frustrate the commission and disrespect the public. He was boasting that he was ready to face the commission and that we should all wait for the 11th and then only submitted his statement extremely late. I am happy Sakina Kamwendo exposed him.

Listen carefully to what Polo-7 says about General Shadrack Impala Sibiya and how he speaks about the National Commissioner Lt General Fannie Masemola. This was six months before the General Mkhwanazi press conference so I think he was bragging and flexing.

The media has failed but here is fresh footage of Hangwani Maumela and his girlfriend. Hangwani Maumela is the man implicated in looting billions from Thembisa Hospital. He is the Hosh Kari Don who was a director of CAT VIP Vusi Matlala’s company. This is what he looks like.
