    The arms deal hots up and the Zuma camp inquiry will help to bring it to the boil. Here are two letters I recently sent to the papers. Neither was published, but I think the earlier one (listed second, below) might have helped inspire the editorial leader in yesterday’s Business Day. .

    THANK YOU, Gerald Shaw ) for setting out the disastrous consequences that would follow were the charges against Jacob Zuma to be withdrawn.

    Yet Zuma is just a “small fish” in the arms deal saga, who is being scapegoated to divert attention from President Thabo Mbeki’s much greater culpability. Mbeki intervened irregularly as early as 1995 in swinging the warship contracts to the Germans, and compounded his improper behaviour in 1998 by intervening on behalf of Thomson CSF. He then lied about a legal opinion when he fired Judge Willem Heath in January 2001, and later that year interfered unconstitutionally in the Joint Investigating Team report.

    With massive abuse of his office whilst attempting to cover up his role in the scandal, Mbeki has regularly blasted arms deal critics as racists who are telling blatant lies. Predictably, his own behaviour has come back to haunt him.

    How appropriate it would be for Trevor Manuel to be the first senior ministerial casualty of the Polokwane conference.

    Manuel has been a disastrous finance minister in a cabinet filled by incompetent and dysfunctional ministers. South Africa has 40 percent unemployment on his watch. Our public schools and hospitals are in chaos. Almost 1 000 South Africans are dying daily of Aids-related causes. The reason given repeatedly until very recently was the lack of financial resources.

    The arms deal is the core reason for the Polokwane upheavals, which rightly has haunted Thabo Mbeki’s presidency. Manuel’s role in this debacle was pivotal; first in its affordability and secondly in its funding.
