Unfortunately my morning breakfast was spoilt by the alarming headline greeting me from my favourite newspaper, ‘Zuma’s big comeback’. Can things get much worse? Apparently they can – as the man himself announces he has ‘unfinished business’ in the Union Buildings. Seems there are still untouched reserves of cash left in the odd SOE awaiting his attention.

Start with a whiff of corruption. Add dodgy tenders, together with construction and taxi mafias. Stir with a dysfunctional criminal justice system. What do you get? The need for bodyguards. All symptomatic of a failed government.

Jacob Zuma says he has unfinished business in the Union Buildings. Come back, Guptas, all is forgiven.

Excellent column last Thursday by Kekeletso Nakeli. Well said.

Just who is Dr Nkosindiphile Xhakaza, the new mayor of Ekurhuleni? Yes, we know he was a councillor. All a political CV. Dr of what? Philosophy (science or literature), medical or ‘other’? Capable to manage a city? If so, a rarity in SA today. Peter H
