The more we learn from the latest leak, the more this appears to be exactly how SA currently operates. We'd be naive to think other less corrupt countries are much different. Its basic economics. You have millions of paying customers (tax payers) who almost never falter and usually become more numerous. Government and business' main aim is to invent new ways to get their hands on that money. SAP, Software AG, Net 1 etc etc... The fleecing made all the easier if your government is populated and led by a group of thieves.
