Anyone who believes the South African Reserve Bank is sacrosanct underestimates our wrecking ball of a president: the harm he has done to innumerable institutions, state-owned enterprises and all the people of this country by abusing his oath of office and powers of appointment — by inserting crooked or incompetent but compliant people at the top — greatly outweighs the very large amount of money the Zuptas appear to have stolen. So far nothing has succeeded in stopping him. Pravin Gordhan is as upright a patriot as we have and it is only months since he was due to be arrested over the whole fake business of the "illegal" division of the revenue service, which one way or another disposed of many of its best employees in the Zupta determination to access the Treasury.
