Fair comment. There's another glaring discrepancy. The power of the president to appoint those whose offices are essential to the checks and balances of state power.  The Chief Justice, the head of the NPA, the Hawks, The Public Protector etc. The importance of this Constitutional error is well illustrated in the remarkable difference between the efficacy of the PP with Thuli Madonsela at the helm and it's malaise under Lawrence Mushwana and now Mkhwebane. Zuma trawled the judiciary for a compliant CJ but fortunately for us could only find Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng (imagine if we had John Hlope) and while misjudging Mogoeng and Madonsela, Zuma made no mistake with the incumbent PP. Shaun Abrahams neither. SA's current predicament is facilitated by the unchecked power invested in a politically accessible office. It's like leaving a loaded shotgun lying around the playground at kindergarten and Zuma's been using it to fire salvos at the Constitution ever since taking office.
