So let me quickly thread about this issue. The Great (almost) PetroSA Robbery is also a story of a dizzying time, when Zuma was on a destructive bender.

Monde Maoto was the reporter on the story, a larger story involving Angola’s Sonangol and a refinery at Coega (in PE). Anyways, this PetroSA angle was appetising.
