Seale’s piece a gross distortion

-

YOUR opinion piece by Wesley Seale makes me fear for our universiti­es, where he is employed as a lecturer in politics.

In his Ode in Praise of Brian Molefe (my title, not his), he makes, among others, the statement that there was no howling when Coleman Andrews received a R232 million golden handshake from SAA, nor when Dali Mpofu received millions to walk away from the SABC. Can I refer Seale to Google, and articles from the DA newsletter, Business Report, Moneyweb, The Citizen, Defence Web and the Sunday Times, etc, who did a great deal of howling.

If Seale wants to blame the country’s ills on white monopoly capital based on this kind of shabby research, my suggestion would be for him to seek more appropriat­e employment at Bell Pottinger, where staff actually get handsomely paid for deliberate­ly palming off gross distortion­s of the truth on the public.
