The Strategic Defence Package, popularly k … The Strategic Defence Package, popularly known as the Arms Deal, was a major defence procurement programme undertaken to re-equip the South African armed forces for the post-apartheid era. It is commonly associated with the large-scale corruption that is alleged to have taken place during and after the procurement process. Some critics have said that the Arms Deal was a defining moment or turning point for the African National Congress (ANC) government, less than five years into its tenure. Following decades of sanctions and a major review of its functions and strategy, the Department of Defence sought to modernise its defence equipment and prepare to participate in a broader range of peace-keeping, defensive, and possibly offensive operations outside South Africa's borders. In 1998, Parliament and the cabinet of President Nelson Mandela, both dominated by the ANC, approved a Defence Review Report which entailed large scale procurement of defence equipment. In December 1999, the government signed contracts with European countries for the procurement of corvettes, submarines, trainer aircraft, fighter aircraft, and helicopters worth about R30 billion, primarily for the use of the South African Navy and South African Air Force. Because of the financing arrangements and exchange rate fluctuations, the true cost of the contracts – only finally paid off in October 2020 – is estimated at far more, although the government's total expenditure on the package has never been disclosed. From the outset, the Arms Deal was criticised on multiple fronts. Some critics questioned the justifiability of the scale and cost of the package, while others questioned the strategic usefulness or prudence of specific contracts under the package. Most public attention, however, was focused on allegations that improper procurement processes had been followed. Each of the five major programmes of the package ultimately became subject to such allegations, which often extended to allegations of profiteering by ANC politicians, including through fraud, corruption, bribery, racketeering and/or money laundering. At least three former cabinet ministers – Joe Modise, Siphiwe Nyanda, and Stella Sigcau – and two former Presidents – Thabo Mbeki and Jacob Zuma – have been accused of improperly benefiting from the contracts. Few of the allegations have been proven or prosecuted, and most were dismissed by the Seriti Commission, a judicial inquiry which ran from 2011 to 2016 and whose findings were overturned in 2019. The only individuals convicted on charges relating to the deal were former ANC Chief Whip Tony Yengeni and Zuma's financial advisor Schabir Shaik, although a criminal case is ongoing against Zuma and one of the Arms Deal subcontractors, Thales.e of the Arms Deal subcontractors, Thales.
, L'« affaire Zuma » est un scandale politic … L'« affaire Zuma » est un scandale politico-financier impliquant, en Afrique du Sud, deux filiales sud-africaines du groupe français d'électronique de défense Thomson CSF (actuel groupe Thales), Thint et Thint Holding, ainsi que le vice-président puis président sud-africain Jacob Zuma et son conseiller financier, Schabir Shaik. L'affaire concerne précisément des pots-de-vin perçues à l'occasion de contrat d'armement d'un montant de 51 milliards de rands (environ 3 milliards d'euros de 2019). Le 2 juin 2005, Schabir Shaik, alors seul inculpé dans ce dossier, est condamné à quinze ans de prison ferme pour avoir versé à Jacob Zuma près de 160 000 euros entre 1995 et 2001 dans le cadre d'un trafic d'influence et notamment pour avoir négocié un pot-de-vin entre Zuma et le fabricant d'armes Thint, prévoyant un versement annuel de 500 000 rands (60 530 euros) au vice-président. Les poursuites contre Jacob Zuma lui-même ont été annulées par deux fois avant de reprendre en 2018. par deux fois avant de reprendre en 2018.

Again, they would be imagining it. I know that they have been chasing to find something. Up to this day, nobody has found anything. They've been chasing it in the sea, in the sky and everywhere. Nothing has been found. What is the problem?thing has been found. What is the problem?
