There's another group of responses to the Edwards Turnaround Plan below. They follow a similar theme to those we've published in the past few days. Rational South Africans are dispensing with the diplomacy that's bedevilled the nation for three decades. They are back to expressing forthright opinions and demanding change.

Melanie Veness, the PMB/Midlands Chamber of Business CEO who also chairs the national body, has reached some clear conclusions. In yesterday's cracking interview, she admitted organised business is now 'gatvol'. Why did it take so long? No defence, she says. Business has been like a frog in slowly boiling water. It should have woken up a lot earlier.

She will be meeting with Pravin Gordhan (74) next week. The man who has been in charge of Transnet for the past five years, however, is unlikely to offer a friendly ear. Despite all the evidence, he wants even more time.
