State (and influence) capture continues unrestrained, and we need to keep "connecting the dots". It is interesting to note that Tito Mboweni was suddenly, to his surprise, removed by our Zupta-approved finance minister from the Brics Bank when his initial, but likely to be extended, contract was up. Is it fair to assume his replacement was required and named from outside the Cabinet and will no doubt be more sympathetic than Mboweni when something dubious or worse needs to be tried there? This regime certainly plans well ahead — perhaps there’s a chess player involved. Roger BriggsEdenvale
