If the author was prophesying in his book, should we then be looking at it to find out what happens next?
The striking similarities between the details emerging at the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture, particularly the Bosasa saga, and We Need A Country make Monde Nkasawe’s book appear to be a prophecy.It all begins in a Hong Kong bar, where the discussion between Mr Cook and Mr Pradesh has the Guptas written all over it, complete with “Bell Pottinger” and their “white monopoly capital” and “radical economic transformation” propaganda.
They are 10 cabinet ministers carefully selected and fed bribes to loot the country’s resources for Mr Cook and his righthand man, Mr Pradesh, who are two mafioso from China. The Dark Cabinet is bent on draining every available resource leaving the nation bankrupt. She teams up with Constable Nombeko Ncovana, a police officer just out of college, who discovers that the country has been captured and its resources are being looted through a state-of-the-art secret highway.
One of the characters, Victor Skali, resembles the former chief operations officer of Bosasa, Angelo Aggrizi. He plays a central role in the construction of the underground highway and knows every facet of it. This is just too close to the reality we are currently facing in SA. Does Nkasawe know something we don’t?The country is watching this saga unfold and asking what will be the result of the Bosasa and state capture sagas? If indeed Nkasawe was prophesying in his book, should we then be looking at it to find out what happens next?
