Sigh! I owe millions in legal fees... I’ve asked you to assist with that one title deed in order for me to sell that house. I now hear that I have been keeping money belonging to my late brother Gaddafi. Where’s this money because His Majesty knows nothing about it? https://t.co/HputtXav1f

This is a man who came with shenanigans to frustrate investigations in nkandla, he also lied that he had a bond to build nkandla and his family was assisting him, this man is greedy and he only thinks of himself, he is always playing victim, and south africans always fall for it.

We don't expect JZ to say I got the money.. This is typical him..he hasn't said a word on Roy Moodley and Crejir. But Libyans want their money and you know that
