This week's High Court ruling on a “crashed” ANC laptop and 5 years of “missing” cadre deployment minutes is potentially an electoral wrecking ball. We'll soon know whether Ramaphosa + Mbalula lied to the Zondo Commission and the ConCourt. WSM on @Politicsweb . #DA

The question to be asked is who is Cele's as yet unnamed assistant? It is it a he? A she? And what makes his/her presence at a rugby game worth R500k to a Police minister. Or did it have more to do with after-hour scoring?

"We will not tolerate acts of criminality. Those involved in acts of violence will be arrested and prosecuted. This will be done without fear or favour." Ramaphosa is worryingly detached from reality. His words bear no resemblance to events of the past 72 hours.

Reports suggest that 500 SAPS members have been accredited to beef up security at ANC’s elective conference. On an estimated 4500 delegates, that’s 1 officer for every 9 ANC delegates. Meanwhile the police to people ratio in SA is 1 officer for every 347 people (googled stats)

A stunning blow for the ANC. The ruling is as yet not explained and one imagines it's based – aside from a desire not to see KZN go up in flames – on the fact that Zuma got remission of sentence from Ramaphosa. Another example of CR's spinelessness causing him to bite his own

Seems that Lonmin director Ramaphosa had more influence over SAPS with an email at Marikana 9 years ago than he has today as RSA President. But then again, the present rioting and looting hurts only his fellow South Africans. The Marikana strikes hurt his own pocket.
