Last week's reminder of Nick Binedell's wisdom was prescient. The founder and former Dean of GIBS warned years ago the ANC was in many ways a replica of the National Party – including drawing into a laager when criticism escalated.
We've seen this in the reaction to outgoing Eskom CEO Andre' de Ruyter's bombshell disclosures in last week's now famous interview. Instead of apologising to the public servant for putting his life at risk, and installing a Commission of Inquiry to root out the corrupt, the ANC did its best to shoot the messenger.
