“The fact that Duduzane goes to Dubai anytime he wants and I never been in Dubai I cant even afford to on holiday here in Limpopo. It means I'm not a target market for this donation.”
@Cordwell_Tira said:
“This plea for donation seems to me as a cover to inject the stashed funds from wherever they have been stashed. Soon that account will be filled with inflow transactions from untraceable or "questionable sources". SARS and Hawks are watching closely I guess.”

Jacob Zuma's doctors miss deadline to submit a medical report, NPA rejects reasons given
In a similar report, Briefly News wrote that doctors in charge of the care of former President Jacob Zuma have missed the deadline of 20 August to submit a report of the assessment of his medical health status to the Pietermaritzburg High Court as previously required by Judge Piet Koen.
According to News24, Zuma's doctors have made an application to hand over his medical report on 27 August for undisclosed reasons.
Mthunzi Mhaga, the National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson, says the NPA does not accept the reasons given for this delay. Mhanga also added that such a request for an extension would need to be heard by the court and the court would decide if an extension is warranted.
