One day we need to talk about the Christian lapel worn by ZCC and it’s true origin and ask why is it still relevant today or why should it even be relevant at all? . Uncomfortable talk.

What will always perplex me is that Mr Zuma didn’t appoint any Gupta member in government role. Messers Thabo Mbeki / Motlanthe did so before Zuma’s time. Gupta’s were SA government representatives in the presidency. It’s ignored by everyone as though it never happened.
