CLAIRE BISSEKER: SA’s political economy is a merry-go-round; no wonder we’re sick to our stomachs

As much as things may seem to change in SA, they really just stay the same. I’m referring to the business-government relationship and the failure of business to learn from its mistakes. 

The business-government relationship should have collapsed after then finance minister Nhlanhla Nene was fired in 2015 for failing to get out of the Guptas’ way, but business took nearly a year before it became outspoken against state capture.
