People keep talking about Ramaphosa like he’s some accidental president, like he fell into the role by mistake. Nah, he knew exactly what he was signing up for — a man with billions, negotiating with a broken country from a five-star suite in Sandton. The scandal isn’t that he’s corrupt; the scandal is that we ever believed a capitalist could clean up a system designed to enrich capitalists. They want us to rage at the theft at Phala Phala like it’s not the same model the whole government runs on. Same game, different farm. And every time they say “we must restore trust,” what they really mean is trust us while we adjust the optics. I’ve seen that edit before — it’s a fade, not a fix.
