BOB’S YOUR UNCLE

-

STATE capture as perpetrate­d by the Zuma/ Gupta cartel might just pick up some tips from another master of the trade, Comrade Bob to the north. He has gone one step farther than the mundane grand larceny taking place in South Africa.

Mugabe is methodical­ly replacing the entire reserve of real American dollars and is replacing them with Monopoly American dollars hot off his own printing press.

As the funny money hits the streets, so will the real bills find their way into good old Bob and Grace’s personal accounts.

The almost perfect theft of the entire portable wealth of the country in one 40-foot container ready for shipment, probably to Malaysia.

And we used to think that Mobuto Setse Seko was the grand master of corruption. Who says Africa is backward?
