South Africa woke up into a real nightmare last Friday, even though the purging of Pravin Gordhan and his deputy was expected. What was shocking was the recycling of Malusi Gigaba to finance minister.
When it comes to leading the treasury experience is what matters most. Gigaba has zero experience to lead the treasury. The fact that he is not ready for prime time is inconsequential to Zuma. Rather Gigaba satisfies Zuma's nefarious needs. Gigaba will give Zuma the key to the treasury's door. He and his cabal will finally get off the starting blocks to plunder the rainbow nation's dwindling pot of gold.
Inasmuch as inquiring minds want to know what also tipped the scale for Zuma to appoint this nincompoop, a source offered the following:
Although Gigaba lacks an iota of intellectual ability and experience to head the treasury, Zuma, an ardent admirer of Gigaba, and in particular his penchant for expensive fashionable suits and accessories, is confident that the dandy's wardrobe does make and shield him from his naked ignorance.
One more reason for the country and history to remember Zuma because "the evil that men do lives after them. . . "
