Good work Rebecca Davis and DM. 'Baantjies vir boeties' (unqualified moreover) is the way of the ANC and this needs to stop.

Somehow they just don't understand! There's no accountability.

I commend Daily Maverick for there splendid work but it is sickening to read every day about this corrupt ANC government! It's like it's never going to end just more cases every day they just do as they please! This is why South Africans are starting to hate the ANC government!!
