LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL

Recently we had some more disclosures regarding what was the reason behind hiring the PR firm Bell Pottinger from London for Zuma and his band of thieves.

In January 2016 just after Zumas failed attempt to hijack the receiver of Revenue Lord Timothy Bell and Victoria Geoghegan arrived in Johannesburg. Bell was the adviser to Margaret Thatcher when she was Prime Minister. They all met together including the Gupta's to devise a plan to take the heat away from them in a campaign that would open up new avenues.

The plan was to talk about White Monopoly Capital (WMC) and to try and improve Duduzane Zuma's (Zuma's son) image who was caught up in the press with the Gupta's dealings. They also discussed how they could get Zuma's ex wife Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma to win the 2017 ANC leadership race . A very tall order as they wanted to carry on plundering the country as a family unit with the Gupta's.

The only sane person was Lord Bell as he quit the PR firm in disgust as Victoria Geoghegan rolled out the plans and found some of it fairly easy to achieve. She and the firm managed to get the White Monopoly Capital part to stick as like many no one has really benefited since the ANC came to power besides the chosen few on the inside.

It is funny how a racist angle is used to try and divert their tactics and it worked because a majority of the people feel this way. If Zuma and co were doing what they were supposed to be doing this wouldn't have been an issue. With the money they pinched he could have bought out or set up vast businesses up for the black people of South Africa.

We know the PR firm failed miserably on most of their tasks but the WMC stuck. It has stuck so much that president Rhamaphosa is banning the term as he now needs to recover the economy. It is a massive task as he is now seen as a puppet by many as he benefited hugely from WMC in the 1990's and is a wealthy man today.

Ramaphosa is trying to reach out to the wealthy white owned businesses for assistance. He may have managed to get Rupert back on board as Jack Ma and Rupert signed a Richemont/Alibaba deal which will give the Chinese market access to Cartier, Alfred Dunhill, Van Cleef & Arpels and Mont Blanc.(Rupert's portfolio).

Jack Ma was with Ramaphosa at his investor conference recently and between them may get Rupert back on board to assist with the economic recovery. Ramaphosa needs everyone's help right now as the country is in a recession. We don't hear much these days and that means Ramaphosa may be very busy fixing what is so broken in the government and country.He is far from stupid and makes Zuma look like a two year old.

Don't even ask about land grabs as that has now gone quiet and there is a final consultation next week. Apparently the ANC has said that not all land will be without compensation now. God knows when this circus will end but there is quite a bit going on and maybe light at the end of the tunnel.
