Thanks for publishing Anton Eberhard’s authoritative and penetrating article, which says it all (SA is switched on to Mahlobo’s wheeling and dealing in nuclear bid, November 30). President Jacob Zuma’s desperation to force nuclear through at any cost totally reinforces the suspicion that he has already been paid out for this deal by the Russians. This was the rumour at the time of Pravin Gordhan’s sudden recall from overseas and dismissal from the finance ministry. I am unable to think of Zuma as our president anymore — just a despicable saboteur. He should have been behind bars long ago, not debasing an honourable title and being allowed to continue abusing its powers beyond imagination. Roger BriggsEdenvale
