It's quite funny that most controversies seem to involve the achievers and the under-achievers, but on the opposite sides of the fence. Again, at odds with each other. Never seen a controversy involving two successful people, save that of rivalry and competition, which is great. Suits the bystander to see good people perform better, so what if the motive is to better the other person. That is not just depressing, it is also ironical.
History has it that success breeds enemies.
Yes, success does not make you infallible and pure. There is a sizeable margin for fault. But there is a degree of envy and malice that surrounds those that rise. And they become targets for many that don't. Could be Hansie faulted.
