Courage is one of the virtues that all in leadership must espouse, even in a sea of great confusion as to what the currency manipulations might have meant to ordinary South Africans.
Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni has not endeared herself to the banking fraternity for her boldness and calling it what it is.
She was roundly berated for using the private sector as a scapegoat for the government’s failures.
This is beside the point. The point to be made is: what was the banking fraternity doing manipulating the rand, and what was the endgame?
Should that behaviour not be seen as undermining the government of the day and its policies?
“Engineering” a sabotage is not that farfetched.
