Mmm .. this man suddenly after some time of silence ( as we discover after a disastrous stint at private empowering ) bubbled up out of some swamp of obscurity to suddenly be a joint spin doctor alongside the woman of carefully couched words Jesse Duarte for the troubled corrupt ANC ... and make no mistake a dangerous and articulate user of words ( watching on the box recently on Morning live he's damm good ) but then my nagging thought was where is your consience man ?? theres more to you than the silver tongue ... well the last revelations in the papers and today sunday times .. confirmed my nagging thoughts ... I wont elaborate too much .. its all there in the papers ... Home of R 45000 rental per month Huh !! divorced .. why do you need such a mansion .?? strings of sms lies to the owner ,, currently with JZ at court etc ?? Who on earth is JZ when you owe fair rental .?? One minute he apologetic the next he blaming the party that he is pavlovs dog to .. for his woes ?? another instinct tells me of a seedy side of excess ( dont know why ) but yes he looks the part .. a worn debauched looking old beyond his 49 years .. maybe more will bubble out of the swamp ... ? But yes although they accept his resignation as spin doctor the will re- deploy and yes employ this corrupt person ??? couching expressions as he is a cadre ( tried old liberation expression kak talk ) and he has suffered ??? hell man he has had 14 + years to put suffering behind him .?? they should all follow example of Madiba ,, put the suffering behind you and move on ... Poor poor excuses ... and yes just another example of them closing ranks like a bunch of doctors when faced with a malpractice suit ??/ I have a simple life tenet .. ..... Look in the mirror each night and ask if you have done honour to yourself and those you are employed by or serve ?? yes there are lots of times if we have a good conscious conscience that we cannot exactly answer the question ,, but then many times that we can .... and if we cannot do so correctly we try to recify the sitaution ... HANG YOUR HEADS IN SHAME current ruling mismanaging party ...
The lying faces troubles mount .. it appears he after " stabbing them in the back" and more revelations in the sunday times .. they putting him on extended leave with the promise of helping him when he is " rehabilitated " ... methinks its backburner and they hoping he just crawls into a hole and disapears . after all he served his purpose as the white afrikaaner face on the ANC profile .??? any guesses ... ???
Intersting enough is the charges laid by the DA and ID they saying he should not have been covered for ...Oh how the percieved mighty can fall ... watch this space ...
Seems his lies have no end - check out the News24 article this morning - he hasn't graduated from Wits with a BA let alone a doctorate - scum bag!

agree Cherry and Sandy. Simply an oxygen stealing scumbag. I think even the ANC are embarrased.
My posting of this afternoon went awol ... anyhow here the gist of it ...
Mr Niehaus ,, has had 14 + years of " freedom " riding the wave of ANc patronage, living the high life ,, earning big bucks ,, lying his way to better posts that he just failed at ... If he was so damaged , then surely he would have seen it many years ago and taken some of that high life money and got the necessary help to get over his truama ?? No he instead is like the kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar blaming the fact that the cookie jar was not kept on a high enough shelf ,, or that Mom or dad pissed him off therefore he will steal cookies ,,instead of takng personal responsibilty for his part in his current situation ... Cherry actually this man is not even a Mampara , he has no excuse of underpriveleged background etc etc .. he must have as a white afrikaner kid had a priveveleged upbringing , yes developed a conscience then chose a life and how to live it and yes for his efforts paid possibly unfairly for it .. how many others spent 15 20 27 years in jail and yes it was not nice but they got up tried to move on from it .. He suits the title of D...head of the year ....
More so seeing him on the box with the holier than thou attitude and spewing to his bosses bidding the convoluted truth of the ANC .. Uuugh!!
Was this guy always an ANC supporter?
Yes he was involved with the ANC since the 80's ,, at the time he was still a theological student , he got involved in the struggle as they called it then ,, was imprisoned along with his then wife in I think 1984 ,, served + - 7 years of a 15 year sentence ... since 1994 he rode high on the back of the ANC including a diplomatic post in the Netherlands .. and other political patronage appointed government posts .. and also stints with private firms .. all disasters .. suppose he felt "entitled" to big pots of money , the high life and to be able to lie and cheat as so many of his darker brothers too felt ..
He started out well many years ago with good intent but then let the rot set in , that makes it worse as he was obviously principled but lost the plot .. IDIOT !! he should take a page out of the book of Willie Hofmeyer he has retained his decency and works hard at ensuring justice via assets forfeiture unit .. I knew his Father as a business associate in the 80's and met him once at his parents home ...a quiet unassuming person and principled ... see his profile .

HEAD OF THE UNIT
W A HOFMEYR
Willie Hofmeyr was appointed to head the Special Investigating Unit in August 2001 after the Constitutional Court found that former judge Heath could not head the unit.
The SIU is the one of the biggest agencies fighting corruption in South Africa, and its aim is to investigate corruption, and to use civil litigation to recover or prevent losses of state assets through corruption or maladministration.
In addition, Willie Hofmeyr is also one of the 3 Deputy National Directors of Prosecutions, and he is the head of the Asset Forfeiture Unit. It was established in the National Prosecuting Authority in May 1999.
The aim of the AFU is to ensure that crime does not pay. It has the power to seize assets that are either the proceeds of crime or that have been used to commit crime. Its main focus is organised crime, drug related crime, serious violent crime, and serious economic crime and corruption.
Previously Mr Hofmeyr served as a Member of Parliament for the African National Congress from 1994 to 1999 where he was Parliamentary Advisor to Deputy President.
He was also deeply involved in the negotiations for the final Constitution adopted in 1996, particularly in the chapters providing for the Bill of Rights and the Judiciary.
As a senior member of the Parliamentary Justice Committee he played a key role in the drafting of much of the anti-crime legislation adopted in South Africa over the last 7 years, including the Prevention of Organised Crime Act which provides for asset forfeiture, and money laundering and racketeering offences, the law making provision for the SIU, new bail legislation, and legislation that prescribes minimum sentences for serious crimes.
Prior to 1994, Mr Hofmeyr worked as a human rights attorney in Cape Town. He first became involved in the democratic movement in the 1970's, first in the union movement, and later in the United Democratic Front and the African National Congress. He was restricted, banned and detained without trial on many occasions.
Another note on previous posting ... For Willie Hofmeyr it must indeed be a double edged sword , remaining a member of the ANC yet having what one could call an unpopular post ... That is law and tracking down high flying criminals and corrupt acts and asset forfeiture for such etc . but yes he remains dedicated to his task and to all extents seems to carry out well enough under the circumstances ... consider the fate of his one counterpart ..Vusi Pikoli ... they came down on him for daring to issue arrest warrant for another bloated bribetaking dishonest high flying criminal linked tick in the form of Jackie Selebi ... I do hope he wins his appeal via the courts ... that will ut the cat amongst the pigeons ...
Anyhow More on Mr Niehaus .. soon to Mr Nohouse ... Ha ha .. in tonights paper ... he paid R 35000 rand lobola for his latest high flying black wife
( he ditched his mousey wife who was also imprisoned at the same time as him , a few years ago in pursuit of blackglam ?? ) while he was so deep in debt and owing his R 300 000 in rent .?? Huh !! he must live on planet Zog thinking that party patronage would see him through ??? Omigawd the man is indeed a delusional mess .. anyhow wont bore too much on that its all on news 24 or in the argus etc so read it .. anyhow a pic on the front page of the latest Mail and Guardian that really tickled my sides ... a cleverly overlaid number ... and yes if one calls it mocking or parody he deserves to be mocked and parodied , again for his sanctimonious attitude ... enjoy ..
Sorry can not leave this one alone ... it seems our blue eyed boerseun of he ANC was also on the board of the really messed up Robben Eiland council ,, there is just so much news of total mismanagement over the last two years .. but then yes when you choose political patronage and jobs for cadres it will be a total mess ... i await the result of legal actions against him and those that covered up for him ... ape
So true ...
