You have outdone yourself this time, Richard, the deep disgust you feel for the status quo oozing out onto your pages, and helping us think a little differently. Thank you for that. Thank you also for upping the ante of the peanut gallery. Don't know if you've noticed,  but the standard of comments rise dramatically, inspired by none other than your impressive reports. Shows you what "good examples" are capable of. Zuma should take note. 

On second thoughts, maybe he shouldn't...

I couldn't agree more - state capture will always be found at the intersect between Business and State. And I agree fully that the snakes should be grabbed by the tail and swung into hostile space 2000 meters above ground. But will it change things? Because the entire congregation of snake-charming invertebrates (read the capitalist world) are singing of the same hymn sheet.
