ICYMI: Ramaphosa may indeed be physically vertical but in every other way he’s been slip-sliding, like a jelly in an earthquake, in every direction.
Happy anniversary, Mr President! Yes, in just a week you’ll be celebrating that propitious day in December 2017. The day you assumed office as the 14th ANC president. Of course, your four years as president of the republic is reached only in February next year. But we all know upon which of these two offices you place the highest value.

You’d either have been dumped by the electorate for a new, improved model, or you’d be contemplating how best to cement in your second term the legacy you laid down in your first. Ramaphosa may indeed be physically vertical but in every other way he’s been slip-sliding, like a jelly in an earthquake, in every direction. It’s difficult to think of a single promise that he’s delivered upon in all of these four years.
On this day, three years and a fortnight ago, the then highly regarded Batohi was appointed by Uncle Cyril as head of the National Prosecuting Authority .Quoting from a Constitutional Court judgment, he said: “The rule of law dictates that the office of the NDPP be cleansed of all the ills that have plagued it for the past few years.
Breytenbach says Batohi “faces a task of great enormity”, while lacking the “tools to do the job” and being faced with the “now obvious reality of a lack of political support”.The figures are indeed telling. In May, the NPA had R422 million cut from its budget of R4.9 billion. The NPA’s Investigating Directorate has a budget of a miserable R107 million. No wonder its head, Hermione Cronje, has resigned.
