Nzimande vows to sue Outa for spreading ‘nefarious’ lies

A sad post-script to an, otherwise ,well disguised politically misleading career . Allegedly .

Like Oscar Wilde, who sued the Marquis of Queensbury for libel , Blade will come off second best.

I'm actually struggling with the term "nefarious lie". Is it different from a "firepool lie"?

Another weak & futile attempt at disgracing the accuser when irrefutable facts are presented. Same answer as Zuma against the author of The President’s Keepers” and Ace against the exposer of his misdoings, ANC against De Ruyter, etc, etc! We are still waiting for all those promised legal actions!!! Another 30 years perhaps??

The words "Blade Nzimande" and "good name" do not belong in the same article, let alone the same page or same paragraph. Time to go, Squeaky, because clean you are not.

Blunt Nzimande is a seasoned and serial crook. Remember him and Willie Madisha money saga?

Get it in your head. There is not one government contract issued without a backhander involved. It is the DNA of Africa.

Let him go to court and prove his “innocence.” I’ll bet my meagre pension that he wouldn’t dare, for he may actually have to account for his actions. Hot air.

“I’ve also voluntarily decided that I’m going to subject myself to the relevant legal processes and ethics bodies of the African National Congress, its integrity committee, and the South African Communist Party (and) its central ethics commission.” Ja, that will convince a few retarded folk. The ex-kleptocommie in chief could just as well have a layer of whitewash applied to his exoskeleton. As to the threat of legal action against OUTA, pull the other one.

Will he be suing with his own money or the departments. How many students will not get funded because Blade believes he has a good name.

"Just because you did it, doesn't mean you're guilty ". (author unknown to writer). SO many politicians use this argument, it seems.

He has damaged his own reputation. Typical ANC trying to shift the blame.

New year, same sh**t

The useless, verbose, vacuous and conflicted Nzimande needs absolutely no assistance in tarnishing his image - he has done that all by himself with aplomb and continues to do so. He is your typical anc "leader" that we have come to know, at SA's cost, and despise intensely - lying, thieving, hypocritical, immoral, parasitic and without any iota of integrity, common decency and honesty. To hell with this lot of scumbags!

Let Mr Mzimabde bring his court action , what makes me angry is that we, the tax payer will fund it

Thou doth protest too much!

Corruption accused officials are guilty until proven innocent, not the other way around. If you cant follow due process, why should the courts?

Sue OUTA - what a joke! It is certainly also sheer bluster that will never end up being challenged in court. So typical of yet another compromised ANC "comrade in crime'. OUTA will certainly have done their homework and verified the source of their information. BTW - kakistocracy is a real word and defines this government!

These crooks must do what they tell everyone....SUE!!!.........However, they won't because they know that in a court of law all evidence will be presented, and no one can rely on 'hearsay'....It's the story of the ANC, as soon as they start threatening litigation, we all know they are as guilty as the thief who enters my house and tells me he is just visiting me?

When an anc member says ‘I have never’ ……

This could get interesting. Firstly the veracity of OUTA's dossier will need to be established. And it would need to be shown that the Minister was aware of what was going on. But what I don't get is why Nzimande reacted at all. OUTA are no threat unless they initiate a court case, and they haven't. Perceptions of him would be hardened but not changed by this report. He should have just said nothing or made a vague comment about having noted that OUTA had issued a report.

Like, present evidence under cross-examination in s public court? I would not have thought that Cde Blade's preference.

I take it the New Years new broom will simply sweep this under the old carpet. The ruling ( actually Non ruling , ruling party ) Party provides so much ammunition for it to be taken down and out, but despite years of corruption , it just keeps on going. Is there an end in sight?

The Minister of Higher Education is sub-literate. Did he get this appointment because the ANC needs the SACP onside during elections? And is it possible that turning a blind eye to allegations that his fingers are in the cookie jar of NSFAS is a means of buying his loyalty? Will the President open the can of worms that OUTA has exposed?

OUTA would love to be sued by Mampara Nzinmande, a case OUTA cannot lose!

Deny, deny and deny Along with sue, sue, sue This is the gangster way Repeat

Threatening to sue and actually suing are two different things. My bet is he won't sue because he does not have a case. In other words, he is most likely guilty.

The part I really love is this ANC and SACP "...ethics commissions" BS....within the ranks of both political parties, there isn't a single honest, ethical, or upright person. They are all rotten to the very core....to their very DNA they are putrefied: no exceptions.

Of course you will submit to the ANC Ethics Committee Blade. You know how toothless and incompetent they are at making findings against members.

Rotten to the core - so sad for the youth. But it's also your job to get rid of the ANC government at the polls. Your vote - your future.

We are plagued with unbelievable corruption we live on the edge of total disaster

@blade - just blame Jan, WMC and aparthate and Bob’s your uncle. You are not guilty ….

He really doesn't have to worry about his good name - along with every other crook in the ANC

Amazing how they can dispute facts , but they know nothing will happen to them , the powerful stays immune from prosecution, it really is time to take back the moral high ground from this corrupt ANC. The people must take action, doing nothing will be our own downfall.

Trust in the student pay system and NSFAS broke some time ago, Minister Nzimande. I can understand why you may not have noticed. As for good names, such slippery things in government.

So Nzimande has decided to subject himself to the ANC Integrity committee and the SACP's Ethics commission. In context, these two terms represent two of the greatest oxymorons on earth. Other than hearing of the terms integrity and ethics, these terms have been demonstrated to be alien to the ethoses of both organizations.

The best part of this is the comments from the readers But I can’t see any My husband is chortling next to me and short of wrestling his phone away from him, I can only sulk Hopefully it is only a technical glitch

Sa! Take them on Nzimande. Jou bang broek......

A "VOW" from a member from the ANC literally has ZERO value. The top brass of the ANC have no soul, no self respect, no humanity, no class, no education and deserve no respect of even attention. "Vow", "Promise" etc etc blah blah blah. Nothing these cretins say means anything anymore. They are vile creatures, the lowest denizens of the globes political swamp dwellers. Compared to the average senior ANC parliamentarian, trump is angelic paragon of honesty, dignity and truth.

I find these fat cats bouncing on a hot tin roof very entertaining, and the timing is impeccable.

What's also funny is you have a non profit social rights organization that gets its funding from a tiny fraction of the population giving the anc stick because of deep pockets, but the anc with a supposedly majority citizen support cannot pay it's own wages. ?

If he wins a case for slandering his reputation he can look forward to at least 1000 roubles judgement!

“The minister views the allegations… as reckless and largely based on gossip and are intended to determine a smooth start to the 2024 academic year. Furthermore, given the damaging allegations continued in this report, the minister reserves the right to take the necessary legal action.” A tweet from the department of education, yes - higher education.

I’ve been wondering why NSFAS can’t be replaced by a simple calculation of how much to give each university and a direct transfer to each university, since they are the ones who disburse the funding to students. Here’s my answer.

What good name?

?

I wonder if this muppet minister can listen for meaning? He certainly can't read for meaning.

Whatever happens he will be cadre protected by the NPA.

In Zulu it is called "icala lingumphikwa" the charge is refuted, translated... The ANC Cabinet, the not so clever Blade Nzimande, the latest to do so, in so many cases in the past, threaten or threatened direct consequences, my recollection says none have made it to Court, Refer to de Ruyter’s Eskom, as an example, Mr Do Dololo, Mbalula and others.... Sarcastically, they bark like Rottweilers but bite like Miniature Dobermans

Note how often corruption accused members of the ANC et al fire back with "we will sue" and then then ..... nothing ! That said, even after damning allegations against various members of the "elite" - nothing seems to happen.
