Are they the State?

Seriously, the misdemeanours of three or so individuals can not be used to hold the country at ransom. They are not the State, and the State should not assume the rest of us are nothing. Reform is not about individuals, it is about systems. I am really saddened that, this, most of us do not reason. That so-called CSOs are felicitating, today, does not surprise me. After all, their sense and depth of reason has always been a Mopane leaf in a stream. It always goes where the water flows.

An Arrogance of Power?

Did they or did they? That is the question. Everything else (letters of protest to the wrong authority, tribunals, removal of lawyers, injunctions, fighting corruption) is simply likely a masquerade of the arrogance of power. And this is the testament of our times.
