Mark Botha in Cape Town, Western Cape, pens an open letter to former president Zuma following his arrest. “You will be remembered, both here, through Africa, and around the globe, as a leader who lacked the morality and honour to do your job correctly.”

Mark Botha

I was watching in 2007 as the Polokwane Conference re-shaped the ANC. I was watching in 2009 as the helicopters flew overhead in Tshwane, on towards the Union Buildings and your inauguration. I was watching when the cameras zoomed in on your panicked, ashen-faced reaction to Cyril's victory in 2017 in Nasrec. I was watching when you begrudgingly stepped down on Valentine's Day 2018, now over three years ago.

Look around, Mr Zuma. Where is Ace? Where is Tony Yengeni? Where is your ex-wife? Where is Supra and the rest of the RET crew? Where are the millions of people who once thronged the streets just to hear you speak? They're gone, sir, given up on your Sisyphean cause because they have finally seen through your lies, around your impenetrable charisma and behind that trademark chuckle. They now know that you stole from them too. I'm not happy at your arrest.

You inherited a country on the up. Our economy was doing pretty well, and the national unity project was looking good. People were happier then, than they are today. Yes, we had issues, and yes, many of those problems persist, but what you have done since you took office is unforgivable. I do not say this lightly, but you've had far more chances than any of us would have, were we in your situation, to come clean.
