This company KPMG is a common denominator in.most of these malfeasance scandals. Why don't the arrest its directors, delist its CAs and ban it from operating for 20 years?

The unintended consequences of collusion..but, sometimes politicization of business creates deep problems...VBS loaned some one millions of rands, without proper guarantees of repayment..a risky loan..

Soft target.
