After News24's exposé on the president-in-waiting, South Africans are fully justified in asking who is the real Paul Mashatile and who are the people behind him pushing him in this game of thrones, write News24's editors.
After News24's exposé on the president-in-waiting, South Africans are fully justified in asking who is the real Paul Mashatile and who are the people behind him pushing him in this game of thrones, write Last week, a year after he handed his final reports on state capture to President Cyril Ramaphosa, Chief Justice Raymond Zondo challenged South Africans.
Who can blame him when a year after handing his reports to Ramaphosa, neither former president Jacob Zuma nor the Guptas - the main architects of state capture - are behind bars? Mashatile and his advisors have been hard at work to tell leaders in business, the media and, of course, the ANC he would be president way before the end of Ramaphosa's second term as ANC president in 2027.
Why would he bend backwards to entertain Mashatile and his liaisons at his palatial residences? And what about Ndavhe Mareda, the coal miner who ironically bought a Gupta-owned coal mine to supply Eskom?
