We have a state whose ability to assess threats and opportunities has collapsed alongside its ability to implement any of its programmes, writes justicemalala.

Back in 2018 public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan urged the Zondo Commission to “connect the dots” in order to untangle the web that is state capture. As the new year gets under way, one is astonished at just how little connecting of the dots the state is doing. It seems to me that there are red flags everywhere and the powers that be are ignoring them – or are simply incapable of working out just how much danger the country is in.

Do we have such people? Does our president receive such intelligence briefings or is he, as he always used to tell us, “shocked” by every major development in our country? I ask these questions because there are warning lights flashing in SA and the pilot and his co-pilots seem to be asleep. This week the home of Johann van Loggerenberg, the former SA Revenue Service executive and a key whistle-blower on state capture, was broken into. Just last week another state capture whistle-blower, Themba Maseko, had his house burgled. On November 1 2021 Athol Williams, another whistle-blower in the Sars matter, fled SA fearing for his life. All of the state capture whistle-blowers are living in fear and many have faced intimidation.

The only people who don’t seem to realise what a serious situation we find ourselves in as a country are our leaders.
