Of course, apartheid’s legacy did not die with it. It was up to the ANC government, with its massive popular mandate, to address this effectively. Instead, the ANC’s cadre deployment policy produced a captured, corrupt and criminal state that is rapidly deindustrialising our country through institutional and infrastructural destruction.

And in its editorial Business Day trumpeted “Malema wins” because of a single ambiguous tweet from Ghaleb Cachalia and a confined debate that followed on Twitter when the DA’s contesting electoral factions and a few hundred bots and sock-puppets took the gap and weaponised it .
