Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has again rubbished claims that stolen money from the VBS Mutual Bank funded his party’s bash at Eyadini Lounge, a popular establishment in Umlazi, Durban.
A report by the Daily Maverick claims the money “forms part of a chunk of the alleged illegal R16,1-million Brian Shivambu’s company, Sgameka Projects, received from VBS”.
It claims that an amount of R454,000 was paid to Eyadini Lounge for the party’s fourth birthday in July 2017.
Speaking to eNCA on Tuesday, Malema dismissed the investigative report as a ploy to “defocus” the EFF from taking a stand against Pravin Gordhan.
He said the party pays for its own rallies.
“We paid for our rallies. I’m not going to entertain this thing that every time Pravin is in hot water and the EFF takes a stand Pauli (van Wyk – Daily Maverick journalist) goes in the dustbin and dig old stuff… hehehehe where’s VBS, where is VBS? I don’t have time for that,” Malema said.
Malema said there’s nothing new about the story as all of the allegations against the EFF’s involvement have been answered.
He said anyone accusing the EFF of wrongdoing can go to the police station and open a case.
Malema said the EFF’s financial statement are open to journalists for scrutiny, but will not be chased by “Afrikaner journalists who want to rubbish the EFF because the party doesn’t agree with Pravin”.
“The VBS story in the EFF is buried. It doesn’t matter how many times they can recycle it, it will never shake the EFF,” he said.
