Someone was lying about Zuma’s R1m salary from Roy Moodley, says Maimane
Controversial businessman and ANC benefactor Roy Moodley allowed President Jacob Zuma to use his Durban beachfront property‚ DA leader Mmusi Maimane revealed on Monday. Maimane said Zuma declared this in his 2016 entry in the public part of his declaration of interests, in line with the provisions of the Executive Ethics Code. Speaking to journalists after taking more than an hour at the Union Buildings in Pretoria to peruse the record for the period 2009 to 2017‚ Maimane said there was no mention of the R1m monthly salary that Zuma is said to have received from Moodley’s Royal Security company for the first four months of his presidency in 2009. This information is contained in the explosive book, The President’s Keepers, by journalist Jaques Pauw‚ which has riled the State Security Agency (SSA) and the South African Revenue Service (SARS).
