Unfortunately the South African government is a big omnishamble with the technocratic element inside our government being sidelined by every passing days by the kleptocratic cliques. Just two weeks ago the former Finance Minister was replaced by someone that is more subservient to Zuma's whims, sending our currency plunging even deeper again.

Our dear Madiba is rolling inside his grave by now, seeing the party that brought freedom from the apartheid regimé has changed into this massive buffoonery.
