A goateed prince of greed

LIKE the Cape Doctor at its most ferocious, a blustery Mac Maharaj blew into town this week. Trying to duck, dive and obfuscate his way out of trouble.

It was classic Mac. Only in his own mind does he retain the moral high ground. After this newspaper showed questionable payments were filtered to him and his wife by a company that won juicy tenders from the Transport Department when he was minister - and revealed the missing piece in the puzzle, a consultancy agreement between Thales and Schabir Shaik, who acted as the conduit for the payments - the MacDaddy tried to make us "jump, jump" (remember the KrissKross song from the '90s?).

The M&G tried to "step to the Mac then they got jacked". But Mac's had a tougher time dodging our detailed report. KrissKross wore their clothes back-to-front. Mac's logic is back-to-front. As he showed on The Justice Factor last Sunday. A super-sized MacPara.

Without doubt one of the most loathsome skermonkels the ayenceeeeee has ever produced.

And that's a lot.
