Howard Feldman | Ramaphosa, like Hamlet, is the prince of procrastination

Like Hamlet, Cyril Ramaphosa's words, although beautiful in construct, lack the action of their promise, writes Howard Feldman.

Tragedies, by definition, don't end well.

Mostly the curtain descends when the critical members of the cast lie dead. Either on or off the stage. And whereas there is generally a lesson to be learnt somewhere, it is pretty much too late for those in pivotal roles.
