In years to come we may look back at yesterday as a landmark day in ridding the country of some criminally bad leadership, so let’s pick apart the bones.
Just as it seemed Thuli Madonsela’s State Capture report seemed set to gather dust, the safe has been opened. Let’s get stuck in, shall we?
Those in power know they are in trouble, and also know that they can’t really fight against the country’s firm constitution. Now let’s get on this ICC issue.
If legal battles are your thing, as well as a healthy dose of political squirming, then settle in and enjoy another day of South African courtroom drama.
Jacob Zuma might have been in Parliament while Gordhan was making his speech yesterday, but somehow I suspect not every part of him was present.
Zuma’s team of personal security has now grown so much so that it’s the most people any South African head of state has ever had – and you need to ask yourself, “Why?”
It hasn’t been a pleasant few days for the Guptas, Pravin Gordhan’s quick thinking leading to a number of dodgy dealings being exposed.
Tomorrow will be Thuli Madonsela’s last day on the job, and whilst she had big plans it looks like Jacob Zuma will once again ruin the big send-off.
There has been a lot of criticism over Zuma’s decision to make his way to Kenya at such a critical time – and then you see something like this.
There’s been a pretty big announcement coming out of the Supreme Court of Appeals today, and it might spell trouble for Zuma in the long run.
Slowly but surely JZ’s support base is eroding, and now our former finance minister has lent his support to those calling for our president to hit the road.
It’s official, Thuli Madonsela’s replacement has been announced. All we can hope as a country is that the person makes as big an impact as the previous incumbent.
Sometimes you can only shake your head in disbelief when it comes to JZ, and that’s certainly true with the G20 interview everyone’s talking about.
Jacob Zuma will be facing a series of questions from political leaders this afternoon, and we all know how that usually ends. Mmusi is ready too.
It’s been a long, long time coming, but eventually Zuma has coughed up the cash for all those extra upgrades his private residence enjoyed.
The Guptas are taking a beating in the local media, which means it’s time for Zapiro to sharpen his pen and take aim.
We know that our Parliamentary Q&A sessions often devolve into name-calling and general disarray, but it was Pravin’s zingers that stood out yesterday.
South Africa’s current ruling party is letting every single person down, so what surprises do they have up their sleeves for the party’s next leader?
If what the sources are saying is true, Jacob Zuma’s recent trip to China for the G20 summit may be a criminal act. Luckily Pravin plays be the rules.
There’s no love lost between JZ and South Africa’s leading satirical cartoonist, but then again our president just keeps delivering the ammunition.
Given how often we’re exposed to corruption stories it’s easily to overlook them. Let’s just take a moment though to look at what’s happening at Prasa.
John Steenhuisen always enjoys his time in the National Assembly, and his sharp-tongued attacks are quickly becoming the stuff of legends.
It’s been over 10 years since JZ faced the music in the Johannesburg High Court, but it’s worth revisiting this one for old time’s sake.
Mmusi has risen as a real national role player in South African politics, and his party is a force to be reckoned with, according to Max du Preez,
Every now and again a politician says something that you know will come back to haunt him, and now JZ is really under the pump.
JZ experienced one of the most defeating acts of disrespect over this past weekend, just as the party he rules lost the support of the people.
It’s time for a proper rant people, and if you’ve come across this garbage story doing the rounds please join me in getting very angry.
The chants of ‘pay back the money’ may finally die down in Parliament, but just how JZ plans to raise that money will anger many.
Mmusi and others are calling this the most important election since 1994, and when you consider the far-reaching implications you can see why.
This past weekend, Jacob Zuma went to the EC to drum up support before the elections on Wednesday. He was certainly treated like a king.
