In the high-stakes arena of South African politics, a series of explosive allegations has surfaced through a leaked voice note, threatening to destabilize the highest levels of the African National Congress (ANC) and the presidency of Cyril Ramaphosa.

The recording presents a chilling narrative of political assassinations, systemic bribery, and the manipulation of judicial commissions to protect powerful individuals from accountability.

At the center of the controversy is a claim regarding a direct bribe paid to high-ranking judicial figures to influence the findings of the Zondo Commission of Inquiry into State Capture.

The speaker alleges that a sum of R5 million was funneled through an active ANC member in East London and coordinated by a former provincial premier to ensure that President Ramaphosa remained “protected” while former President Jacob Zuma and the Gupta family bore the brunt of the report’s findings.

These allegations strike at the very heart of the South African judiciary’s perceived independence, suggesting that even the most prestigious legal inquiries may be susceptible to financial interference.

The Shadow of Marikana and Political Silencing

The voice note further delves into the dark history of the Marikana Massacre, suggesting that the true orders behind the tragedy were suppressed through intimidation and violence.

It claims that a high-ranking official, referred to as “Mthetho,” possessed intelligence documents and emails that implicated the presidency in the “shoot to kill” instructions given to the SAPS (South African Police Service) at the time.

According to the recording, this individual was murdered before they could testify at a judicial commission, with his laptop, phone, and a “briefcase of evidence” being wiped or seized by intelligence operatives.

The speaker asserts that international intelligence agencies have captured CCTV footage of the assassination in Paris, allegedly showing that the perpetrators were linked to South African diplomatic circles.

This narrative portrays a government willing to utilize its intelligence apparatus to eliminate whistleblowers who threaten to expose the state’s role in human rights violations.

Alleged Financial Irregularities: CR17 and the Tembisa Hospital Scandal

The financial focus of the voice note turns toward the “CR17” campaign funds and the controversial Tembisa Hospital procurement saga.

Allegations are made that family members of top ministers, including relatives of Fikile Mbalula and others, used private bank accounts to launder campaign funds and state resources.

Specifically, the speaker links the wealth of the President’s own family to the broader corruption surrounding medical supplies and hospital contracts, highlighting a mansion built “minutes away” from the scenes of extreme poverty.

The recording contrasts the legal treatment of the President’s associates with that of Duduzane Zuma, who was famously seen in shackles, arguing that the law is being weaponized against political rivals while shielding those currently in power.

“South Africa needs a miracle.

.

.

Cyril didn’t win Nasrec; he forced himself in through boxes of millions used to pay off voters.”

A Culture of Fear and “Withdrawal”

A recurring theme throughout the transcript is the physical danger faced by those who possess “the truth.

” The speaker describes a specific instance where a “comrade” was instructed by police to withdraw a criminal case against the President if they “wished to keep living.

” This environment of “withdraw or die” suggests that the South African police and intelligence services may be acting as a private security force for the political elite rather than as protectors of the public.

The mention of “Rising South Africa” and international intelligence reports suggests that there is a global tracking of these alleged crimes, even if the domestic justice system remains paralyzed.

The Implication of Cabinet Ministers

The recording does not stop at the President; it implicates a wide array of current and former ministers in a web of mutual protection.

From Bheki Cele’s role in police operations to the alleged involvement of Ronald Lamola in blocking investigations, the voice note paints a picture of a “captured” cabinet.

The speaker expresses deep admiration for Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane, suggesting she was targeted precisely because she attempted to pull the veil back on these financial secrets.

The overarching message is one of a nation in crisis, where voting has become a futile exercise because the leadership is decided by “boxes of cash” rather than the will of the people.

Final Warning: The Stolen Briefcase

The transcript concludes with a somber reminder of the “briefcase” that disappeared with the murdered official—a collection of documents that supposedly proves the President’s direct interference in the North West provincial police team’s actions.

The speaker warns that while the state can delete CCTV footage and wipe hard drives, “the international servers” always keep a record.

This suggests that the “voice from the grave” provided by the murdered whistleblower will eventually lead to a day of reckoning that no amount of political maneuvering can prevent.

For the South African public, these allegations represent a terrifying possibility: that the “New Dawn” promised by the current administration is merely a more sophisticated version of the state capture it claimed to replace.
