In Monday Morning Matters (The Times 29/8/16), Justice Malala urged Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa to find his cojones, and speak his mind. A tall order indeed.
Ramaphosa is a person exhibiting an apparent contradictory nature. The word "paradox" is one that may suitably describe his nature.
On the one hand, Ramaphosa exemplifies the gregarious, intelligent back-slapping politician. However, intelligence does not necessarily equate with good judgment. Consider his steadfast loyalty to the ANC collective in the wake of Nenegate. The fact that he did not speak out against the appointment of van Rooyen as finance minister leads to one unmistakeable conclusion: judgment deficit disorder wrapped in political expediency.
Ramaphosa typifies the affable politician, well-versed in empty vessel generalities. He is simply not his own man, and lacks the cojones to be one
