The publication of the preliminary report by the public protector on the money Absa was supposed to owe the state was an absolute game changer in South African politics.
The “leaking” of the report was a stroke of genius by the Zuma/Gupta/state security complex that has been trying very hard for months now to steer the national discourse away from state capture, the previous PP’s State of Capture report and corruption, to the “white monopoly capital” theme.
It has been very successful.
