Government of cronies, crooks

WHEN I see, read and hear tripe, I call it tripe.

There is no other way to describe the scurrilous allegations that our public protector, Busi Mkhwebane, throws around, pulling rabbits out of her hat to justify herself, with allegations of misconduct and throwing mud at the Reserve Bank from an almost 30-year-old case.

Then, overreaching her mandate, she requests changes to the constitution, so the central bank must change its focus from maintaining currency and price stability to one of promoting economic growth. Here is another downgrade coming our way soon.

The more she was talking, the more she exposed herself as incompetent and put there for one reason – to try and incapacitate the Reserve Bank so the plundering can continue unabated.

We all know why No 1 put her and every other appointee in key positions… although he made two mistakes in his appointments of two unique individuals (Thuli Madonsela and Mogoeng Mogoeng).

Instead of following what her predecessor left on her desk about state capture, and have No 1 behind bars by now, or chasing the billions misappropriated every year according to the auditorgeneral, she has become a grave digger to unearth what is dead long ago.

There are not any competent people in this government, only unqualified cronies and crooks. Bryanston
