The Hawks and the ANC Youth League remained mum on Monday morning amid reports that Julius Malema faced arrest on charges related to his financial affairs.

“No, I cannot comment on that,” said Hawks spokesman McIntosh Polela.

African National Congress Youth League spokesman Floyd Shivambu also declined to comment.

“No comment,” he said, before ending the phone call.

The Times reported on Monday that a joint investigation by the Hawks and the SA Revenue Service into the youth leader's financial affairs was almost complete.

It said the probe was “as good as complete” and that it was “just a matter of time” before authorities acted.

The Sunday Independent reported at the weekend that an investigation into Malema had uncovered prima facie evidence of wrongdoing.

Malema's Ratanang Family Trust, and companies including On-Point Engineering and SGL Engineering, allegedly formed part of the investigation.

Both companies have been awarded tenders in Limpopo province, which is also reportedly under investigation by the Hawks. - Sapa

Hi Xolile Propaganda before brains I see. It's been 18 years of ANC led corruption and mismanagement. But you MUST be right. Some secret “white peoples” organisation somehow manages to continue to control the ANC and ANCYL. Encouraging them to make fools of themselves and idiots of their supporters. Even managing to create hundreds of millionaires from the befuddled ANC and Youth League members. Shame on the naughty “white peoples”!

It will be 'stalwart' Madikizela Mandela to the rescue of her 'son'. She ofcourse had a similar problem many years ago and will know what to do.

@Anonymous No I didn't conveniently forget those others, I just list some of those that are directly linked to the ANC government that's supposed to be running this country. Well.... they certainly are running this country... but into the ground. Convicted riminals are not allowed to sit in Parliament in a democratic society but it looks like it's an asset in this country. Oh! I almost forgot... what about dear old "Winnie".

Nothing to worry about chubby chops - IF you're arrested and then get bail, your man Tokyo will bail you out - and probably give you a place in the white suburbs to live - 'cause your house in the white suburbs might just be seized along with your other assets - but it won't be for long - your gal Winnie will get your stuff back for you!

@LK..Well put. These hawks are toothless and they can't scare him. The bloody agents! I love how he is quick to do the church mouse move when any small bad but true news about him surfaces. He is a little chicken this thing. I hope they all get kicked off the ANCYL. The whole bunch of morons.

See, I was right. Already the Hawks have forgotten about this. These shabby and premature reporting just gets the hopes up, only to peter out within seconds.

I am pretty sure that IF Malema gets arrested and faces trial for any wrong doing that he will either get off or get a minimum reduced sentence! Either way his political career will not be over and he can still be president. A damn shame. It pays to be criminal and a member of the ANC.

Amazing how its alright that Julius can say do and sing what he wants and he is portrayed by many as a 'leader' whilst if and when the tables were turned and it was a white person doing these things its racism!!! All double standards!!!! Can't wait for judgement day when we all get judged accordingly!!!
