Wikileaks proves Mike Smith was right about the FF+ in 2009

By Mike Smith
12th of September 2011

In 2009 I said on the SA Sucks blog that I was not going to vote in the General election. I was of the opinion that there were no parties that catered for white people. Every single one in its manifesto proudly proclaimed how they were non-racial, etc.

What a load of nonsense. How can anybody ignore the elephant in the room or pretend it is not there? Politics in SA has always been, and will always be nothing but racial.

Anybody pretending anything else is dreaming and living a delusional lie and is removed from reality...therefore cannot be taken seriously.

There are some more realities about SA politics that people choose to ignore. One is demographics. Whites are outnumbered 10:1 and politically disarmed in a “one-man-one-vote” tyranny of the majority, aka a “Democrazy”.

Therefore another elephant is being ignored. For whites to have any political impact in SA they have one of three options:

1. Breed more and become the majority
2. Reduce the numbers of the black opponents
3. Concentrate in one geographical area where they are the majority.
Now which one do you think is the best option? Which one will bring the quickest results and which one will be the most humane?

Nevertheless, back in 2009, the last party I was going to vote for would have been the Freedom Front Plus. They did not even support a Volkstaat at the time.

At the time the FF+ members and voters all slagged me off about how my vote will be wasted, etc. I did not care what others said about me or my convictions the next day. I knew I was right and they were all wrong. I also knew that I was not alone, because there were others who are good friends of mine who felt exactly the same.

Then came the vote and two days after the results, Dr. Pieter Mulder, the leader of the FF+, accepted a post in Jacob Zuma’s ANC government as Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Forestries and Fisheries.

Sorry, but one does not accept such a position on the spur of the moment within two days. It must have been discussed and negotiated beforehand, but Dr. Mulder kept it all quiet, because he knew that if his voters and followers knew about him negotiating with the ANC, they would not have voted for him.

At the time I wrote an article called And this one goes out to all the fucktards who voted for the Freedom Front Plus

Now it has surfaced in Die Burger that a Wikileaks cable between an American diplomat (CIA spy) and Mrs. Hillary Clinton (minister of Foreign Affairs) stated that Dr. Mulder wanted to form a coalition with the ANC as far back as April 2009. Jacob Zuma at the time was courting the Afrikaners. His tactic was that if the ANC did not achieve a two thirds majority, they could then use the Afrikaners and the FF+ coalition to achieve that two thirds majority and basically do what they want, even change the constitution to get rid of all Afrikaners and their language.

See where your vote for the FF+ would have ended up? It would have been a vote for the ANC...Exactly like the NP votes in 2004 ended up being votes for the ANC and Martinus van Schalkwyk joined the ANC for a minister’s post in tourism.

Mulder’s best friend, Prof Dirk Kotzé of Unisa was the one who told the diplomat that “Mulder would immediately join such a coalition if he knew he could get away with it...”

Not only were the FF+ voters kept in the dark and taken for a ride before and during the 2009 elections, but also all the volunteers who assisted them for hours at the voting stations were suckered by Pieter Mulder. His father who was a decent man and almost became prime minister after John Voster is probably spinning in his grave today..

Do you think the FF+ leader Pieter Mulder cares or bats a single eyelid today? No he sleeps well after a hard day’s driving around in his Q-Class Audi, sponsored by the ANC.

See, it works like this...

40-50 years ago we still had “Politicians” in South Africa that one could respect. These were educated men of outstanding character to the left and to the right who stood firm on their convictions. It does not matter if you agreed with them or not, but there were men like Dr. D.F. Malan, J.G. Strijdom, Sir de Villiers Graaff, Jan Smuts, H.F. Verwoerd, etc...These were men who would go onto a stage and they would convey their beliefs and convictions to the world with passion and honesty...and most importantly...bugger-off with what the newspapers had to say about them the next day, because in their hearts they believed in their convictions and believed they were right.

But look at these political clowns we have today. They all have agents, personal hairdressers, fashion consultants, image consultants, speech writers, etc...What you end up with on the stage and television is not a politician’s arse...it is a Kasper the Puppet who cares nothing for his people and only looks after his own pocket. Sorry, but these political whores make me simply want to vomit...and the people who vote for them even more so.

Nevertheless, read the “Die Burger” report here, If you can understand Afrikaans Mulder ‘wou alliansie met ANC vorm voor verkiesing’

Day one: Justice Mogoeng

14 September, 2011

It was an uneventful first day in the hot seat for South Africa's new Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng at the Constitutional Court yesterday.

After leading the procession of green-robed judges, Justice Mogoeng appeared to have one eye on the clock most of the time.

In fact, he seemed to want to hasten along the proceedings with questions like: "Are you winding up?" or "How long are you going to take?"

He also reminded advocates to stick to their allocated time for arguments.

The judge, who described himself in church on Sunday as South Africa's third-most powerful man, spent much of the day swinging around in his chair, scratching his hair, holding his chin, looking up at the ceiling and putting his hands in front of his face as if he was engaging in silent prayer.

The court yesterday heard arguments in an application for leave to appeal against two Pretoria High Court judgments where 350 illegal occupiers of Farm Mooiplaats and Skurweplaas 353 are challenging their eviction.

The illegal occupants contend that it would not be just and equitable to evict them and want the City of Tshwane to provide alternative accommodation.
Judge Zak Yacoob seemed to have been in control of the proceedings during the first hour, firing one question after another.

Other judges Johann van der Westhuizen, Thembile Skweyiya, Bess Nkabinde and Johan Froneman spent the day throwing a volley of questions to counsel.
And while most commentators would have expected some sign of hostility between Judge Mogoeng and his deputy, justice Dikgang Moseneke, they seemed comfortable with each other.

At some stage during the morning, Justice Mogoeng rolled his chair towards his deputy and had a quick chat.

It took 40 minutes for Justice Moseneke to break the ice when he seemed to lose his patience with Advocate Rudolph Jansen, representing the illegal occupants, for not having put forward fundamental issues for his case.

Jansen argued that it appeared that the City of Tshwane did not have enough land for urbanisation and that it was the duty of the municipality to prevent homelessness and provide his clients with alternative accommodation.

"A lack of available land cannot serve as some form of influx control.
"The best way to ensure the protection of property rights in an urban area is to ensure that everyone has some property rights," argued Jansen.

Perhaps Judge Mogoeng's most significant moment, although not entirely a glorious one, came when he seemed unable to intervene in the questioning of advocate Johan Botha, for the City of Tshwane. The proceedings ran into the lunch break by 30 minutes.

Apparently, this was one of the longest overruns ever in the history of the Constitutional Court.

With that, Judge Mogoeng ended his first day as the highest judge in the land, saying they were reserving judgment.

JUDGE TELLS POLICE CHIEF: NO MORE THREATS

Sunday Times Online JULY 12 — 07/12/2007
If anyone of you co-operates with the police or gives any statements which directly incriminate me in any criminal activities I will rape your wives before I kill them, kill your children, and thereafter kill everything that moves at your homes, including your cats and dogs’.

A South African court was told this week that the police chief of Ekhuruleni Metro (East Witwatersrand), Robert McBride, made this threat to police officers who were investigating allegations that he rolled his car while under the influence of liquor.

Judge Moroa Tsoka ordered McBride to stop threatening, harassing and intimidating three senior colleagues who allegedly gave damning evidence against him. Judge Tsoka granted a temporary interdict against McBride. Chief Superintendent Stanley Sagathevan, Chief Superintendent Patrick Johnson and Superintendent Itumeleng Koko had applied for the order after claiming they had been harassed.

Police chief was anti-apartheid bomber

McBride, 44, was an African National Congress activist convicted of the 1986 bombing of Magoo's Bar in Durban, which killed 3 and injured 69. He is currently Chief of the Metropolitan Police for Ekhuruleni. There is speculation that he may take over as the country’s National Police Commissioner, replacing Jackie Selebi, who has been involved in alleged corruption.
In 1984, during the apartheid years, Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), the ANC's military wing, attempted to sabotage the oil refinery near McBride’s home.

McBride was soon recruited into the ANC and became an active member. On April 26, 1986, he carried out a daring act and freed a wounded MK commander in a shootout with the police at Edendale Hospital.

He commanded the ANC cell responsible for the June 14, 1986, car-bombing of the "Why Not" Bar and Magoo's Bar in Durban. The bar was often frequented by police officers. The bombing turned McBride into an heroic figure among many ANC activists. Later, McBride was captured and convicted for the Durban bombing, but reprieved while on death row. In 1992, he was released, and later granted amnesty at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (which provided for amnesty in return for disclosure of acts of politically-motivated violence).

“Cut out their lying tongues”

Chief Superintendent Sagathevan described in court papers how McBride told them: ‘‘The only way to deal with traitors was to cut out their lying tongues, but this was too good for us and that our families would be dealt with first so that we could see first-hand the wrongs of our ways”.

This was after they refused to corroborate McBride’s version of the car accident in which he was involved. Chief Superintendent Johnson and Sagathevan have apparently testified against McBride in the investigation into the December accident. They and Superintendent Koko reportedly at first removed the police chief from the accident scene.

McBride able to carry out threats

In court this week, the police officers recounted the threats (above) allegedly made by McBride. Advocate Marné Strydom, representing the applicants, said: “They [McBride and 13 other respondents] have the resources to make good on these threats.” Sagathevan described a meeting between McBride and the trio, at which the police chief allegedly said he would have no hesitation in killing them. Sagathevan said: “I anticipated, and I have no doubt that the first respondent [McBride] would assault me if he managed to get his hands on me, as I have on many occasions ... observed him assault suspects, bystanders and even fellow Ekhuruleni Metro Police department officers.”
Sagathevan said he was ‘redeployed’ in May. “I immediately considered my redeployment to be highly questionable in that I was deliberately being placed in a dangerous and volatile situation in that I was instructed to report to officers whom I have, on the first respondent’s instructions, investigated in the past.”

Sagathevan said McBride and the deputy chief of police security and loss control in Ekhuruleni, Ash Boodhoo, threatened to “silence” him and his two colleagues and make their lives a “living hell” if they gave statements that contradicted McBride’s version. Advocate Nazeer Cassim SC, acting for McBride, said the metro police officers were being selective with facts and were trying to prevent his client from putting his version forward.


As a schoolboy, McBride was beaten by a much older boy and his father taught him martial arts. When he was 13, he was arrested for questioning by the police regarding the beating of a youth. He developed political views at an early age. He was particularly influenced by two books: one described the efforts of coloured (mixed race) political activists, and the other was written by a founding member of the American Black Guerrilla Family.

Arrested in Mozambique

On March 9, 1998, (Four years after the ANC had taken over the government of the country), McBride, then a high-ranking official in the Department of Foreign Affairs, was arrested by the Mozambican police in Ressano Garcia, Mozambique, for allegedly smuggling weapons from Mozambique to South Africa. He maintained he was working with the South African National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and was later released by the Mozambican authorities. McBride was appointed Chief of the Metropolitan (metro) Police for Chief of Ekhuruleni Municipality in 2003. He defended the ANC's new gun laws in 2006 in a one-hour gun-politics documentary, “Live Fire”, commissioned by Gun Owners of South Africa.

On December 21, 2006, McBride rolled his vehicle at high speed on the R511 near Pretoria while returning from a metro police year-end function. According to witnesses, McBride was under the influence of alcohol, but metro police on the scene assaulted the witnesses and threatened to shoot them if they telephoned the South African Police (SAP). McBride was quickly removed from the scene by Ekhuruleni metro police, even though the scene was more than 40 km out of their jurisdiction. It is not known whether he received medical treatment on the night of the incident, and whether blood samples were taken by the metro police, or a medical facility, to determine his blood-alcohol level.

Investigators gave "damning evidence"

Following the accident, three of the metro police involved in removing McBride from the accident scene (Johnston, Segathevan and Koko) gave "damning statements" to the South African Police. On July 4, 2007, McBride and about 10 cars with metro police detained Johnston at a petrol station, on the pretext that he was driving a car with tinted windows, which is against South African traffic law. Segathewan joined Johnston, and members of a nearby SAPS Task Force arrived at the scene.

McBride is alleged to have instructed his metro police officers "to shoot all the SAPS members (including members of the Task Force) in the head if they touched their firearms". He is also alleged to have called senior police officers present at the scene "baboons and pieces of shit". McBride later justified his instructions to shoot police officers by saying they were senior to his officers, and were being "stroppy". Johnston and Segathevan were arrested by the metro police, but Henk Strydom, a senior public prosecutor, declined to prosecute due to "insufficient evidence and a case totally without merit". Johnston and Segathevan then decided to seek a court interdict to protect them from McBride and the Ekhuruleni Metro Police Department, as they feared for their lives.

MAGOO'S BOMB CASE TO BE REOPENED

The investigation into the bombing of Magoo's Bar in Durban in 1986 will be reopened to obtain information about those who authorised the bomb attack, KwaZulu-Natal Attorney-General Tim McNally said on Tuesday.

The man convicted of planting the bomb, African National Congress member and Department of Foreign Affairs deputy director Robert McBride, would be approached for the information, McNally told reporters outside the Durban Supreme Court.

McBride served a jail term following his conviction and can no longer be charged in connection with the bombing, but investigators are interested in McBride's recent comments implicating unidentified ANC leaders in planning the attack.

McBride said last week he had planted the Magoo's bomb under the instruction of his political superiors.

Three people were killed and dozens injured in the blast.

McBride was sentenced to death three times for his part in the attack. His death sentence was later commuted to one of imprisonment, and after serving a number of years behind bars McBride was given a remission of sentence in 1992.
 
He recently gave up his seat in the Gauteng legislature to take up a post as deputy director in the Department of Foreign Affairs' Far East and Asian directorate.

"McBride is going to be approached. He's got a duty like any other member of the community to give evidence to police," McNally said.

McNally's comments follow renewed focus on the Magoo's bombing at last week's Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearing in Durban.

The body heard graphic descriptions of the aftermath of the bomb. Witnesses also expressed outrage that McBride had never shown remorse for murdering innocent people.

Testifying on the second day of the hearing, bar manager Helen Kearney said "all hell broke let loose shortly after 10pm, June 14 1986, when a normal Saturday night for regulars at Magoo's Bar came to an abrupt end.

"I remember flashing red, blue and green lights. There was a horrendous noise. Everything happened so fast. It was a massive bloodbath".

She said McBride should be removed from his government post.

"We don't wish him any harm. We just feel this post is wrong. He feels no remorse and has no conscience. I don't think he has ever spoken to one of the survivors," Kearney said.

McBride last week denied that he had never shown remorse for planting the bomb.

Magoo's Bombing

This story examines the issue of whether human rights abuses are ever justified in the name of a greater goal.

In 1986, the South African army began conducting cross- border raids, bombing African National Congress (ANC) strongholds in neighboring countries and often killing civilians in the process.

In response, ANC member Robert McBride planned and participated in the carbombing of Magoo's Bar, a popular hangout for the South African Security Police forces in Durban.

Three white women pedestrians were killed when the bomb exploded, and many bar patrons were wounded. In an era when bombings were commonplace, McBride was regarded as a particularly notorious criminal.

Dubbed "Bomber McBride" by the press, he became the focus of pro-apartheid hatred because of the unusual circumstances of the bombing: the victims were white, and McBride himself was coloured, making his choice to violently side with the principally black anti-apartheid movement all the more horrifying to many white South Africans.

McBride and a companion were convicted of the bombing, and McBride was sentenced to execution. A pardon negotiated by Nelson Mandela saved McBride from death row. McBride then became a diplomat in the new South African government. He has applied for amnesty from the TRC, but stands by the bombing, saying that if he was in the same situation, he would do it again.

The families of the victims are vehemently opposing his application. A charismatic, eloquent speaker, McBride explained the rationale for his actions at the hearing, which took place in the fall of 1999. This story documents the drama of his testimony and witnesses how the victims' families were affected by his justification for the bombing.

From death row to SA police chief

4 December, 2003

Former convicted bomber Robert McBride has defended his appointment to the post of Chief of Police in Johannesburg's East Rand district despite criticism from the opposition Democratic Alliance.

 
Mr McBride - who was sentenced to death for his part in the bombing of Magoo's Bar in 1984, which killed three people and wounded 69 others - was appointed at the end of October.

The move has brought condemnation from the opposition Democratic Alliance, who said they were "shocked and disgusted".

But in an interview with BBC World Service's Outlook programme, Mr McBride said that the opposition was primarily the result of party politicking.

"The timing of the appointment perhaps was unfortunate, because it's 3-4 months away from an election," he said.

"Political parties will create issues which they can then rally their supporters around."

'Hypocrisy'
 
Mr McBride was one of the most famous of the African National Congress saboteurs, operating underground, and was a hero to many other black people during apartheid.

He argued that his background gave him the skills to tackle the problems in one of the most crime-ridden cities in South Africa.

<><> <><> <><>

Nelson Mandela has backed McBride's appointment

"My background is one of liberation struggle," he said.
"The area I'm appointed in is one of the hardest hit by the surrogate forces of apartheid.

"So it's the people who really know my work, who I've defended and physically put my life on the line for - they know my work.

"People have welcomed me specifically because of my background."

Mr McBride was released from death row after being granted amnesty in 1992.

He went on to become a senior official in Department of Foreign Affairs - and he said that there was never a "squeak" from the opposition over his being in that post.

"There's a bit of hypocrisy on the side of my detractors," Mr McBride said.

"These are the same people who want to embrace former President Nelson Mandela.

"Incidentally, Nelson Mandela congratulated me on my appointment.

"Another aspect is that they seem to selectively forget that Nelson Mandela was the Chief of Staff and the leader of our liberation army."

Conflict

Mr McBride rejected the suggestion that his appointment was inappropriate as he was so linked to the Magoo's Bar bombing.

<><> <><> <><>

McBride blames the row on politics in Johannesburg

"They wish to tie me to one single event, but we actually ran a campaign and the only reason why they tie me to this event is because white people died.

"There are other people who have committed a lot of acts in South Africa.

"Our first commissioner of police in South Africa was a person from the old order. I didn't hear anybody making a noise about that."

He added that he did feel remorse for the victims of the bomb, but that it was as part of his regret for much of South Africa's past.

"I cannot feel the remorse in isolation to the remorse I feel and the sadness I feel for all the other people that have died during our period of conflict," he stated.

"So I cannot only feel sadness or remorse for one aspect of our unfortunate past... we've renounced violence, all of us, that's why we've moved towards democracy.

"We had a democratic election and our transition was constitutional.
 
"Why we went for violence initially was because they refused to accept that we are human beings."

R12m in McBride legal fees

09 September, 2011

Ekurhuleni must be reimbursed the R12 million used to pay for the metro's former police chief Robert McBride's legal fees, the DA said on Friday.

"These expenses were in contravention of the Municipal Finance Management Act, the Municipal Systems Act and council's own policy, which stipulates that council may only pay up to R10 000 of an employee's legal costs, if the case is of relevance to the municipality," said the Democratic Alliance's Ekurhuleni councillor Michele Clarke.

The DA would hold the ANC, all councillors involved and former city manager Patrick Flusk accountable for the money.

"These were the people that were directly responsible for the Ekurhuleni metro paying for McBride's' legal costs, and they should answer for their decisions."

The DA wanted the ANC to table a report to the council showing how the money would be reimbursed.

"We also want an item tabled indicating when and how the municipality will take legal action in accordance with the advice obtained from the KwaZulu-Natal Law Society."

She said the society had advised Ekurhuleni to take legal action against McBride's attorneys, as their fees had been inflated.

Ekurhuleni mayoral spokesman Zweli Dlamini said the city would only follow up on the reimbursement of the legal fees after the outcome of McBride's appeal.

"It would be premature to demand to be reimbursed now when [McBride] said he would appeal the sentence."

The council took a resolution that should McBride lose the case, the city would recover all the legal fees, said Dlamini.

The Pretoria Magistrate's Court sentenced McBride to five years imprisonment on Thursday. He got two years for driving under the influence of alcohol and five years for defeating the ends of justice, of which two years were suspended for five years.

South Africa is bleeding again

2011-08-19

by Zixolisile

In 2009, the majority of South Africans once again gave the ANC the mandate through their votes to effectively manage the country’s resources not only to overcome the country’s socioeconomic challenges but also to create an enabling environment for future leaders and generations to successfully achieve the country’s vision of a non-racial coherence and prosperity.

It is clear that what sustains us today as a nation was first preserved for us by those who underwent very painful conditions of racial intolerance, hatred and oppression.

Some were forced into exile while others were detained, and a handful having sacrificed their lives for the sake of what we can call today “a rainbow nation”.

Young, white youth were forced to engage in a war not of their own making and were brainwashed with hatred for black people who demanded nothing more than racial coalescence and fruitful co-existence as a nation with the sole conscience of respect for humanity.

Our country’s negotiated war has proved this assertion.

Also, these white young persons had their lives to sacrifice to defend what was touted to them as “total strategy against total onslaught!” Some of them never made it back home from the borders and also those who went into exile to swell the ranks of anti-apartheid forces also suffered casualties.

Our beloved country was bleeding! But in the final end, a negotiated settlement was successfully achieved.

But our beloved country is bleeding again today from new wounds, which are caused by the precedence which the ANC’s Polokwane conference in 2007 has set as a path to be travelled by everyone under the cloak of revitalising the “alliance mission”.

The conference gave birth to lawlessness among the ruling alliance politicians where the ANC Youth League is at the centre stage with no respect for the nation as a whole.

The whole system of governance in South Africa is on the verge of collapse and the only symbol of patriotism visible today is in the person of the Public Protector, Advocate Thuli Madonsela.

She is the epitome of the love of the nation by an individual who is prepared to go to the gallows for the sake of ensuring that what our black and white brothers died for remains important in our day-to-day activities as a nation.

The rest remains fateful with police commissioners leaving dark clouds in a row in this noble and respectful office, parliament speakers are also serving as stalwarts of national gambling entities and you ask yourself the question as to how does he manage parliamentary business if he is a leading gambler at the same time?

Maybe it is his bonus for the 30 years he spent in luxury in exile. The Polokwane conference has clearly transformed the South African Liberation Struggle from a People’s Revolution into a billionaires’ political circus!

Tenders, sushi and cigar clubs are what define the political Johnny Boys of our age. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Democracy proves to be a mystery for Africans. They lack wisdom to implement it.

The whole continent is still struggling to come up with a fully democratic state.

Lets look at South Africa
1. The intellectual society has died because the country is led by the illiterate.

2. Cadre deployment continues to parasite on the taxpayer’s sweat as deployees have neither experience nor expertise.

3. There is absolutely no politicking except to settle scores by purging the unwanted and grudges continue to replace diplomacy.

4. Rewards for senior comrades have replaced service delivery, resulting in crippling strikes.

5. Morals have become a thing of the past as youth leaders are rude, and adultery characterises political and business meetings.

http://www.citypress.co.za/MyCityPress/Letters/South-Africa-is-bleeding-again-20110819


6. There is no distinction between the ruling party and the state (black aristocrats). Referendum was buried long ago.

You are an Evil Person, Mr. McBride.

 2011-09-08


"You are an evil person, Mr McBride," a Pretoria magistrate told Robert McBride on Thursday when he sentenced him to an effective five years in prison.

"Even you are not above the law," regional Magistrate Peet Johnson told the former head of Ekurhuleni metro police.

McBride, 48, stood erect in the dock and looked the magistrate in the eyes during his sentencing.

At times the tension showed when McBride swallowed hard.

Johnson sentenced him to two years in prison on a charge of drunken driving and to five years on a charge of obstructing justice, two of which were suspended.

McBride's driver's licence was also suspended for 18 months.

His bail of R1 000 was extended after the court granted him leave to appeal against his conviction and sentence.
End-of-year party
The sentence arose from an accident caused by McBride on December 21 2006 in his government vehicle, a Chevrolet Lumina, on the R511 road near Hartebeespoort Dam. He was on his way back from an end-of-year party.

Johnson told McBride, "You drove extremely dangerously and recklessly, with total contempt for other road users.

"The community has the right to expect a high degree of responsibility and integrity from the head of Ekurhuleni Metro Police.

"You are, after all, paid with taxpayer' money."
It is shocking that McBride's subordinates threatened people on the scene of the accident with firearms, Johnson said. "Residents of the country deserve better."

He added that McBride has an exaggerated good view of himself, whereas he is a domineering, aggressive and intolerable leader rather than a credible and respected mediator.
Johnson said the accused portrayed himself to a parole officer as someone who cannot tolerate corruption.

Yet he abused his position in attempts to hide the fact that he had been driving under the influence of alcohol.

Johnson was also upset because according to the parole officer’s report McBride expressed the opinion that community service that includes manual labour is humiliating.

According to the report the accused also refused to attend any rehabilitation programmes.
"If you had been honest from the outset, Mr McBride, then you would not be in this mess now. The case would have been long forgotten," the magistrate said in closing.

Advocate Guido Penzhorn SC, for the defence, applied for leave to appeal after the sentencing. He listed 76 reasons why the defence believed that another court would disagree with Johnson.

Johnson said that while he was not convinced that another court would reach a different finding from his, some points were open to argument.
