The business body’s premature readmission of Bain was damaging, but at least the firm has now fallen on its sword, writes justicemalala.

I love the origins of the expression"shoot yourself in the foot". It comes from a phenomenon that became fairly common among soldiers in World War 1. Tired of an endless war whose purpose many could not comprehend, soldiers would shoot themselves in the foot, landing themselves in hospital instead of the trenches. They would claim that the shooting happened by accident.

Now, the war against corruption in SA these past 12 years has been hard and exhausting. With the release of the Zondo report and the seeming uselessness of the National Prosecuting Authority, this war will get even harder. Are some of those who have fought this brave fight now opting to shoot themselves in the foot and retire from the battleground?..

Warning over plan to lift South Africa’s state of disaster and lockdown restrictionsExperts warn that South Africa cannot rush to lift its state of disaster, as it risks creating a legal vacuum around ongoing restrictions and Covid-19 regulations. So you want to keep the act. Because it is the only way the ANC can continue as authoritarian. In stead of dealing with the parties issues it is better to hide behind the Disater act. GREAT JOBS and don't tell people they will lose R350 if you can't keep us under authoritarianism Ag rubbish man!!! The state of disaster should have been lifted long ago!!! They know full well that a flood of lawsuits will follow, and literally admit as much.
