All have had just totally monumental theft often at the top levels. It all seems to be pretty consequence free. Meanwhile, the hawks open immediate investigations and charge people almost immediately who are trying to expose things - which is kind of funny - 10 years to investigate totally obvious theft, 7 days to charge folks who are exposing it :)!
It was really the Zuma years that messed things up and the new folks don't seem interested in any cleanup (the ANC has had a lock on power a long time). They are still a great country relatively speaking in Africa, with incredible potential.

> These prizes seem to be worth killing for. Since 2014 more than 115 Glebelands residents have been murdered. Many were anc members who objected to the ways of Robert Mzobe, an anc councillor accused of corruption, and Bongani Hlope, a local warlord who terrorised residents. “Glebelands is a microcosm,” argues Mary de Haas, a researcher into local violence. Throughout the country violence is regularly meted out by one faction of the anc against another. From 2000 to 2017 nearly 300 political assassinations have been recorded, many of them anc members.
