text: Always like reading Richard's articles. I do not always like the progressive/alt left/socialist slant where "neo-liberals" are to blame for anything. KPMG, BP, SAP and the other businesses that continue to benefit are symptoms, not the malaise. The root of our problems are the transformation agenda as government currently pursues it. BEE is nothing but legislated corruption. Is Cyril Ramaphosa's wealth due to his own industry, intellect or hard work or is it the result of his political status ? As long as we have a legislated economic system that requires a portion of profits to go to individuals that adds nothing to the production process we will have corruption. Businesses operating in SA have little choice but to take part in this process or run the risk of losing business or be outed as racist scum. I predict that foreign businesses will quietly start to exit, as the reputational risk  of partaking in this sham has become to great.
