Searching long and hard for information to support the result that has been pre-determined in his mind before even writing the article. So even though there are valid arguments hidden in his throughtleader and blog posts, they are overpowered by his own racism and total disrespect/condemnation for anyone who holds an opinion that differs to what spins out of Luthuli House. So whatever blog he posts you will see the same threads of belittling the DA, denialism of any ANC wroing doing and using the race card as the foundation of his argument. Fail every time Dave.

It is the moral and civil responsibility of government to enforce checks and balances on government-business relations such that its response is public sector friendly while at the same time being civil society protective. The Guptas did what any business operation which enjoys leverage over government should do, in fact such behaviour is welfare maximizing to its shareholders. How did the South African government respond, with the enforcement of regulation to stiffle such attempts or its blatant disregard for such motivated by personal gain and the desire to socisl climb. The Guptas did their part that our government didn`nt do theirs is an uncomfortable reality we have to accept.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8622019196225604972.post-78794066783180303432013-05-23T11:45:48.714-07:002013-05-23T11:45:48.714-07:00So this is all perfectly above board?

Its quite hard not to simply argue in the same vein when such phrases as<br />"one of apartheid's sons"<br />"corporate media serfs"<br />"white tribal DA party" are trotted out. Clearly there is some middle ground but this writing will not advance the rainbow nation that I believe in. I am one of the so called old guard, but I seem to see that the old guard companies are doing very well in Africa and the rest of the world. My old guard is worried that the Guptas seem to be visited at their Saxonwold property after NEC meetings by the president which is a little bit abnormal. He clearly likes the curry as much as Helen Zille. Also <br />slightly contradicting some of this article is some of the governments own shock at what happened. Anyway, I would like to hear what you really think Dave, because this is PR writing which is not helping anything. PS you're probably quite pleased that the Iqbal Surve consortium is now the owner of the colonial racist old guard media. I wonder how long all those media serfs will still have jobs scribbling away.

You make as if our government are so innocent......This is a game of have's and have not's and if you think that there isn't more behind the scenes that we cannot see OR aren't allowed to see then you're more wet behind the ears then what you're allowing yourself to believe. When these things come to light rather the media make a big hype then another case of mismanagement, corrupt practices, raiding of state resources being swept under the carpet into the Basement of Nkandla! If there are Old Guards still pulling strings then they are to thank for you being able to buy your supper tonight! Investors (BHP, Checkers etc...) stick around when they know someone rational is actually in charge so don't kid yourself thinking the Gupta's and the like will warm your bed at night because the will plunder and leave the Africans to rot.....at least these old guards let you play ringmaster sometimes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8622019196225604972.post-83561839500654136672013-05-13T04:15:14.060-07:002013-05-13T04:15:14.060-07:00Dear Dave

If all was fine with the landing, why have 3 (I think) government departments ordered inquiries into the granted permissions? <br />Why has a senior department official been suspended?<br /><br />SARS has confirmed that they were not notified about the landing.

If you can't see a problem in the owners of a pro-government, government-supported newspaper, who employ members of the president's family, enjoying use of an airbase and speeding blue-light convoys, then you're the reason so much of our government feels unaccountable for corruption.<br />PS - Even medevac flights very seldom allowed to use Waterkloof.
