"There is a seemingly substantial political roadblock in the form Mr. Gwede Mantashe" .. probably as he is a large chap !
“Ramaphosa, himself a former union leader, is likely to be loath to act against Mantashe because his control over the ruling African National Congress remains tenuous"
- much more like it. The problem is, Ramaphosa (and the ANC) are going to run out of time to do enough to win the next election. With Ramaphosa, a large benefit of doubt was given as he was seen as competent and not corrupt (in a relative sense).... Ramaphosa need to act and take a chance, as I bet that idiot Gwede will look to string it all out as long as possible
