OPINIONISTA: Thuli Madonsela and land reform: Getting it right and wrong on South Africa

Former public protector Thuli Madonsela has become something of a go-to authority for those seeking analysis on South Africa. Justly respected for her resolute stand for probity in government, her words carry weight.

Impunity was disappearing, she remarked. And South Africa was gaining greater certainty over policy questions, including deeply contentious ones.You might not be happy with some policies such as land reform but at least there’s consistency and you know how to position yourself for what’s coming.”One of the things investors are looking for is whether your legal system is functioning and that has always been one of our strong points here in SA.

Later, there was a calming of the rhetoric – the audible declaration that the country would be undertaking EWC gave way to a more restrained intention to undertake “land reform” – but make no mistake, there has been not the slightest indication that the intention has been altered. The recent controversy over the South African Reserve Bank and the president’s intervention – that fundamentally, he agreed with nationalising it but recognised the dangers doing so would hold, and so wanted merely to defer doing so – can only reinforce these concerns.

A voice of sane reason - and wise, balanced evaluation - of the recent trend towards an (almost) deification of our respected erstwhile PP (?) who at times show us that like the rest of us she also has feet of clay . . .

Still to get feedback on how Thuli is doing in her current role as Prof.

Such an empty article that says nothing! ThuliMadonsela3

OPINIONISTA: Things fall apart; the centre (and the right) cannot holdToday, 230 years after the French Revolution, France is still roiled by popular protest as migrants and the increasingly impoverished working class struggle for a fair deal and a better life. In France, and across the world, political authority increasingly serves the interests of the super-rich, at the direct expense of the majority. But change is coming... If there ever was an 'Opinionista' that sums up Daily Maverick, I think it's this moron. Dream on.

OPINIONISTA: We need an honest SONA, Mr President – warts and allThe problem is that presidential SONA speeches are generally premised on what the president thinks we want to hear as if it was an electioneering speech. But what we need to hear is the shocking and unpleasant truth. Just as a good doctor scolds the unhealthy lifestyle of a drug abuser, so too do we need to hear from leadership the hard facts and a thorough dressing down on why we slipped to the edge of the economic precipice. wayneduv Instead we got Fairy Tales wayneduv The speech was driven by reality: a balancing act between the factions. Our prez is in office but not really in power. wayneduv Instead we got bombarded with the “4th industrial revolution” which -by the way- is a nonsense term. No self-respecting scientist will use it. Meaningless buzz-word infected speech.
