It is an impeccable political bio, but what is crucial is what is not in it.
There is no mention of the multiple allegations of corruption, the Gupta payoffs, the irregular tenders, the cover-ups and the cronyism. Curiously, many of his allegations mirror those of Jacob Zuma’s.
Ace has his own Nkandla scandal which saw him ensure he was secure in comfort with a R8 million upgrade to his official residence. His office admitted that taxpayers’ money had been spent on aesthetic renovations to his house. There was a new pool house, a dining room, a lounge etc etc. The building had to be rewired and a modern security system added. Oh, and the pool was “large and unnecessarily deep, which meant that it might hardly heat up in summer and was difficult for the premier to use as he has small children”. Firepool stuff right there.
