Stephen, You earn your living from politics; writing, analysing, presumably talking to many people and likewise we must assume you have access to more people close to power, both on and off the record, than almost anyone else in South Africa.

That you seemingly don't know - or perhaps are fearful of expressing an opinion that might provide us with some insight as to what will happen, is scarey indeed because it says to us all that we are leaderless, rudderless, policy-less, no coherent strategy at all - and all is just held in abeyance till one of the forces predating on the Presidential crown carries out a putsch or coup.

Is it really that random; that scarey?

Are we truly beholden to the way that the Gupta's eventually distribute their largesses?

Are we really, as a country, as the ANC that devoid of principle and morality?
