OPINIONISTA: Maria and Misogyny By Ferial Haffajee ferialhaffajee

Even by its own standards, the EFF’s attack on Maria Ramos penned by its spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi is breathtaking.

Then, Ndlozi goes into a head-scratching account of why Ramos’s appointment to the interim board of the PIC on Wednesday 10 July is a conflict. By serving on the board of Remgro, the conglomerate owned by the cigarette and luxury goods billionaire Johan Rupert, which has investments in companies in which the PIC also has shares, she is conflicted, says Ndlozi.

The EFF has spoken. But what does he omit in the efforts to create a grand narrative? By the time I checked at lunch, the EFF statement was all over the place: its view on Ramos has gone viral into social media which is now the most influential and powerful form of media. It is now the chief narrative.

She is a former chairperson of Transnet; a highly regarded leader in international business circles and a long-established part of Fortune magazine’s global list of leading businesswomen. Extremely hard-working, Ramos struggled at Absa when Barclays bought in and then sold out. She is a taskmaster and probably alienated more executives than she should have, but show me an executive who has not? It comes with the tough turf.

My colleague Pauli van Wyk who exposed the EFF’s receipt of VBS looted funds through front companies are Bad Women whom you can call “Satan” and diminutive forms of insult. I am so often reduced by EFF trolls to my perceived ethnicity my age and my perceived ideology , that I don’t notice any longer. Or journalist Karima Brown . Another colleague, Marianne Thamm, who exposed the EFF’s core hypocrisy, is now so bad she’s off the scales.
