O’Sullivan helped Pauw

-

“My sources will remain anonymous, but they are the heroes of this book. One day, when we emerge from this mess – and I have no doubt we will – they should be honoured for revealing the true colours of Jacob Zuma, and also of people such as Richard Mdluli, Nomgcobo Jiba, Lawrence Mrwebi, Berning Ntlemeza, Arthur Fraser, Prince Mokotedi and Tom Moyane.

“These latter folk will not be remembered for contributi­ng positively to state institutio­ns.

“Under their reign, crime has spiraled, thugs have walked free, prosecutio­ns and conviction­s of organised criminals have disintegra­ted, tax collection has dropped and state revenue has decreased.

“Instead of strengthen­ing our democracy, they will go down in history as people who were prepared to sell their souls, to sup with the devil, to keep Zuma out of prison and in power. These are Jacob Zuma’s keepers: the people who have brought our beautiful country to the brink of a mafia state.” – Jacques Pauw, The President’s Keepers.

Profession­al thorn in the side of government and forensic consultant Paul O’Sullivan has used the launch of Jacques Pauw’s damning book, “The President’s Keepers”, to fire another broadside at his perennial enemies in the National Prosecutin­g Authority.

Quoting from the book where it stated Pauw would keep his sources anonymous, O’Sullivan said he was not afraid and did not need to be anonymous.

“I gladly admit I gave Jacques lots of informatio­n and led him to others that could get more. I am proud to have played my part and invite anyone who thinks they can stop me from exposing the criminals in the criminal justice system to come and do so,” O’Sullivan said, warning many people that none “of the scum out there can survive what is coming”.

“The rest of you should make a decision and decide now, go down with the sinking ship and end up in prison, or stand up and do what you are constituti­onally obligated to do.”
