It was reported that Public Protector Thuli Madonsela will issue her findings of state capture on October 14, 2016, her last day of office.
Despite appeals from President Zuma, and the Guptas not to issue her report, she intends doing so.
Zuma and his friends, the Guptas, have long known of the public protector's investigation into state capture. Now at the eleventh hour they have taken her to task for doing her job. In fact, a lawyer for the Gupta family accused Madonsela of engaging in "window dressing", and questions whether she was leaving "a well-respected office with ill-intent", aimed at the president.
Vigorous objections by those implicated leads to the presumptive conclusion: evidence of the selling of the South African government to the highest bidder. That being so, will the ruling party follow the same pattern of behaviour as in Nkandla: defending the president and his friends at all costs?
