afekz says... @Mduduzi, I'm not sure if what you write reflects accurately what you think, but in case it does, I would suggest you consider that it's not that "Whites are also corrupt", but rather that "There are also corrupt whites". Change "Whites" to be "Blacks", "Men", "Pastors", whatever and the sentiment still applies. No race/religion/ethnicity has a monopoly on greed, violence, etc. Allowing the fight against corruption, wheresoever it arises, to be reduced to a "race" debate is something we must not do. It is irrelevant whether or not this government engages in more financial corruption than the last (the last was certainly more morally corrupt) and also irrelevant is the race of the perpetrators of corruption. Power attracts the corrupt. At least for now (perhaps not so much after this daft Secrecy Bill gets passed), we at least have the benefit of being much more able to find out about the corruption and mispending funded by our e.g. VAT, petrol levy and income tax payments funds, unlike under the National Party government.
