The Guptas are appointing government officials? What in the actual flip is this country becoming? Can we really trust the president of this country? Maybe we are long sold to China or Russia.

The issue of state capture should be of concern to all responsible and caring South Africans. How many current ministers are sitting in their positions now after a visit to the Guptas? The whole Cabinet needs to be replaced, because there is now a question of trust.

A number of African National Congress (ANC) heavyweights have come out backing Deputy Finance Minister Mcebisi Jonas’s version of events, including Derek Hanekom and Jackson Mthembu.

The majority of South Africans voted for the ANC, and they never thought these politicians would sell them to the highest bidder.

At the same time we must be aware that the Guptas are nothing compared to the Oppenheimers and Rothschilds of this world. Take a look at the JSE and you will realise that the Guptas are not that big in SA. Black people own less that 10% of the JSE, which I believe are crumbs of white monopoly capital. This cannot be right after 21 years of democracy. If the government does not tackle the inequality issue in this country, we might have a serious crisis in the next few years.
