Solly Moeng: Mthethwa suicide mystery, McKenzie’s “nepotism”, Matlala-Maumela link - and R167m bust

In their latest BizNews chat, Chris Steyn and Political Commentator Solly Moeng cover the deepening mystery surrounding the apparent suicide in Paris of former Police Minister and ambassador Nathi Mthethwa; Patriotic Alliance (PA) leader Gayton McKenzie’s “nepotistic” appointments of Minister of Arts and Culture; the relationship between Tenderpreneurs Cat Matlala and Hungwani Maumela, the nephew by marriage of President Cyril Ramaphosa; the factionalised African National Congress (ANC) naming over forty candidates for mayors in eight metros. “What are we to do with all these people who play such crucial, toxic, dangerous roles for South Africa…Let us ignore these politicians who think that we are not one and show them we are..We should come together and take back this country.” In some good news, the South African Revenue Service (SARS) has intercepted a R167-million Cocaine shipment at OR Tambo. “They should also trace the masterminds…Of course they will assassinate, they will kill people, they will offer bribes, they will probably blackmail people. But we should find these people. We should be known as a country that says no - and that does something about it. For now, we are a country where everything goes. Everything goes. And it has got to stop at some point.”
