Elite continuity undermines justice
IT SEEMS a strange day to wake up to news that cast former presidents Thabo Mbeki and Jacob Zuma as allies - cartoons must surely follow soon that strangely, different to public opinion, will show them on the same side of history, different to earlier satire that painted their rivalry as one that reshaped the country.
