A News24 exposé has revealed that ANC Mayoral Candidate for Nelson Mandela Bay, Danny Jordaan, has hired top lawyers to defend himself in a corruption probe undertaken by the FBI.
This probe was initiated following the confirmation that South African officials were involved in paying a $10 million bribe to secure the 2010 Soccer World Cup.
To date, Danny Jordaan has denied his involvement in this corruption scandal, despite a letter, dated 10 December 2007, proving that he directly authorised and signed off this payment.
Danny Jordaan has not been forthcoming in this regard. It is now crystal clear that he does have a corruption case against him, and he has been misleading the South African public in general, and the people of Nelson Mandela Bay in particular.
The DA demands that Danny Jordaan now makes an urgent public statement and finally tell the truth about his involvement in this horrendous corruption scandal.
The people of Nelson Mandela Bay, who have faced endless corruption and high unemployment under previous ANC administrations, do not deserve 5 more years of being kept in the dark.
These elections will be the most important since 1994. South Africans face a critical choice: more dishonesty, corruption and joblessness under the ANC; or radical change that will create jobs, deliver better services and stop corruption, under an honest DA government.

Maybe this prospect of litigation explains why Danny Jordaan never smiles in his press photos, and kept well clear of the speakers rostrum in the run-up to this election!
