For an avowed chess player, Zuma isn’t exactly shining in this end game

One memorable evening during our farming sabbatical in Mooi River, I received a good few shin kicks before backing off from a vigorous debate about how the free flow of information has transformed the world. The bruises were worth it. After a dramatic week in politics, that night’s bragging rights are mine.

It is impossible to over-emphasise the role social media is playing in bringing down the seemingly impregnable walls of the Zupta Jericho. From well-informed community comments beneath online articles through to insightful twitter posts, the ugly truth has leaked into the world. Just like Hemingway’s description of bankruptcy – it happened gradually, now suddenly.

This has been a watershed week for our young democracy. Fittingly, the telling blow on Caesar Zuma being struck on the Ides of March from an unlikely quarter by the deliciously named Vytjie Mentor. A one-time compatriot Zuma now claims he doesn’t know.

As mentioned in an editorial on Biznews yesterday, for an avowed chess player Zuma hasn’t exactly shone in this particular end-game. Perhaps we should be thankful the man’s strategic skills are on a par with his well documented numerical, economic and geographical abilities.

Sounds to me that the Gupta saga has the makings of taking market manipulation (hedging the Rand before the weekend Fin Min special), and by implication money-laundering to a brand new level. That is to say if I am understanding the overall situation correctly. My guess is that the authorities tasked at policing against such crimes have not latched on as yet.
