LETTER: Zones haven’t been a great success
South Africa’s experience with various industrial decentralisation schemes since the 1960s, and the more recent industrial development zone (IDZ) programme, have borne little fruit
LETTER: Third force is at work
The continuing illegitimate strikes, murders and assassinations at Marikana are the result of much more than mere rivalry between two trade unions
LETTER: Column lacks depth
What a disappointment! You present an op-ed (Thinking in the same old way will not rescue platinum sector, May 16), which considers — at best — only about half the important issues at play — your readers deserve better
LETTER: Union leaders cushy
While striking workers usually lose their income for the period they are on strike, union leaders do not. Easy for union leaders to drive their Marxist political views from the comfort of fat and continuing salaries while their members suffer

LETTER: No link to the Hawks

The Third Umpire
Cape Town mayor Patricia de Lille, for the city sensibly vetoing the move to ban liquor sales on Sunday, as it would have dire consequences for businesses. Let’s hope Gauteng authorities will come to the party on this too.
Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan. Despite slow GDP growth, the South African Revenue Service managed to rake in R814bn — despite the worrying contraction in corporate income tax due to mining’s many woes.
President Jacob Zuma. His belief that “the problem with SA is that everyone wants to govern” is entirely of his own doing. He makes it look so damn easy and even more rewarding — who wouldn’t want the job?
