SA Politics is a weirdo. Whenever there is evidence of gross mismanagement - the next attack by Government on rugby follows. However, it is quiet on that front now - but for how long?
At present there is a crisis of confidence in the ANC. One of their Ministers (Pallo Jordan) have been for years touted around and used the term Dr based on his qualifications - yet the bugger has no academic qualifications and the story broke last week. Jordan is suddenly put on a pedestal and is now the hero of the left wing. He resigned from Parliament. In the absurdity of SA politics - accept that Jordan will blame the Springboks for the fact that he had to resign and the next attack is imminent.
Then we have the Nkandla palace of President Zuma. Security upgrades at the palace was supposed to cost R75 million. The cost ended up at R256 million. The opposition screamed blue murder and the Public Protector submitted a damning report on the issue. The Report inter alia found that Zuma appointed an Architect to undertake the development and insisted that the Architect and his private contractor be used by the Department. The Architect went overboard, extended the scope of work beyond recognition and cleared a massive profit from the Project.
Zuma claims innocence - he was not aware of what was happening. So he asked the SIU to investigate - the whole scenario was so rotten - that they had to try and whitewash Zuma so the SIU laid a claim of R155 million against the architect. Yet the end of the story is not really in evidence. In a court case the whole appointment scenario and what actually happened will be exploited in full and the shit will hit the fan then.
So what is expected in the latter case. Obviously it will all be blamed on rugby in the true ANC style.
However, I suspect that Meyer's team will be the equivalent of the above garbage - so lets wa it for Heineke "Zuma" Meyer to announce that monstrosity.
