Tobacco insider who hired Edward Zuma exposes cigarette manufacturers. MUST LISTEN!

Sometimes facts are stranger than fiction. Yesterday we published an interview that I did with Yusuf Kajee, going back a few years ago. In the interview, which originally was around 45 minutes. He made so many allegations and so many of them that seemed incredibly wild that I put it on the back burner and didn't pick up on it but with the recent publication of a couple of books, Telita Snyckers and Johann van Loggerenberg and with the decision by the South African government to not allow the sale of cigarettes. Suddenly the whole tobacco sector is now very much in focus. I went back to the Yusuf Kajee interview, took out the libellous statements and published it. As a consequence of that, I got a call today from his one-time partner, Azeem Carim, who unveiled another side to this whole story. What's extraordinary to me is that it shows yet again how little we know about what's really going on, but in this interview, Mr Carim helps us to join a lot of dots and points to local cigarette manufacturers who are manufacturing under the guise of exporting but selling their product into the South African market, making between R6 and R10 million, he says, per day. – Alec Hogg
