This article is very helpful in outlining and shedding light on the current state of governance in South Africa. There are 3 main points that I take away that I believe are useful for the broader citizenry: (1) Not about personalities, but structural. Cancer is such a useful metaphor, as explained. If we as citizens think this is about a few naughty individuals, we will wake up too late. (2)  There's opportunity to shift the discourse from "black" to actual social groupings that are the lived expression of frustration in South Africa: the poor, the middle class, the workers, the welfare dependent, etc. This suggests that the term "black" masks actual struggles of black people, and thus the term is made cheap, and useless to me as a black South African. (3) The role of "big" capital. Perhaps there's a way to deal with this structural problem other than a route that risks total annihilation of the whole economy to the detriment of the whole society. This point needs further thought.
