OPINION:
Mr President, I am on cloud nine. Not so much because this column won the coveted regional leg of the 2020 Vodacom Journalist of the Year Awards in the Opinion Category this week. But I am in seventh heaven because as you read this, the former Free State premier and current ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule is before the courts seeking bail after his warrant of arrest was issued and executed this week. He is arraigned before our courts to answer to the R255-million asbestos scandal that has left one person dead, scores filthy rich and some famous if not notorious. Ace’s bosom buddies including the corruption-accused, one inconspicuous ‘businessman’ with a lot of chutzpah but less morals (allegedly), Edwin Sodi, were arrested last month, charged and are out on bail.
