Something bothers me about this ⁦@nytimes⁩ story on the corruption scandal roiling South Africa. The Times presents it as a clash between new corrupt money and old white capital in SA. That’s not how I experienced it. nytimes.com/2018/12/22/wor… It was average black citizens of SA that I saw outraged and mobilized in masses in the streets after the extent of the corruption was revealed by SA journalists (who seem to be uncredited in this @NYTIMES piece).
