Travelgate MPs to stand trial

2005-11-10 19:03
line

Cape Town - National director of public prosecutions Vusi Pikoli has rejected a request by the African National Congress MPs in the Travelgate case to drop charges against them.

Their advocate, Seth Nthai, told a Cape Town magistrate in July that they would be approaching Pikoli "on the merits" after plea-bargain negotiations with the Scorpions reached a dead end.

However, a source close to the case said on Thursday the bid was unsuccessful.

The MPs and travel agents arrested in connection with the parliamentary travel-voucher scam are to make another appearance in Cape Town magistrate's court on Friday.

July 31 next year has been set as a provisional High Court trial date.

Swapie says... Sandra, because it wont work. Why not? Ask Vusi. His dad started a coffin making business that he built up, then gave it to some fellow black people to run. It closed down shortly afterwards. Why work when you can get for free. Most of the black people in this country just got to lazy to work.Our society has become one of sitting on our asses , waiting for the few taxpayers to provide the grants. And grants we have a lot of. Now teenagers fall pregnant so that they can claim the grant.Silly, but true. So giving them land to farm on just wont work. Look at the farms that had been bought from white farmers and given to black people. Unproductive, bankrupt. Who to blame? Government. Instead of going into partnerships with the white farmers, using them and their skills to help black people, they choice the popular way: get rid of the white farmer. Read the article...
