It's one thing when two-bit, evil, thieves such as the Guptas and their pack of  hounds steal from the state (read all of us), but it is something else entirely when they conspire with 'respected' multinationals such as Software AG, McKinsey's, and SAP.

FFS, ignoring the obvious unholy network of filthy snouts in the trough, how does one ever justify the scale of the 'commissions'?  And more so when there is zero value add, in fact, negative value add.  Consider the time spent, er, 'negotiating' with these thieves.

These companies have codes of conduct and appear to take ethics seriously - and for the most part I sense they really do.  Not for altruistic reasons, but basically because it actually yields better trouble free returns over time.

The majority of South Africans are disgusted.  Simple.  And I think it is now time for all business to push back firmly on the companies exposed as predating on our country.  Time to call them in, read them the riot act, and CANCEL CONTRACTS.
