text: Gary Pickering comes across as arrogant, evasive and totally unapologetic for what he and KPMG have done. His performance at Scopa last week speaks volumes and illustrates precisely why he and Nhlamu Dlomu  (nice lady, very polite but way out of her depth) are in no position to make amends for this incredible breach of professional ethics and standards - and the devastating consequences they have brought on South Africa. 
  
  As David Maynier's DA colleague, Tim Brauteseth, scathingly commented "When we see people being taken away in handcuffs rather than being let go with bulging pockets" then maybe we'll be comforted and see how sorry you really are."
  
  Dlomu, Pickering & their KPMG colleagues (including those "fired" with generous severance packages) should all be in the dock on corruption & other charges. Many of them clearly belong in prison for a long time. All should be struck off the SAICA & IRBA rolls (except poor Dlomu who isn't even a CA!)
