So, according to Haroon Bhorat, Stats SA is an exemplar of good governance and competence, despite every other state entity (besides, perhaps, the SA Revenue Service) being destroyed by ANC corruption and incompetence? (“Getting the numbers right on the informal economy”, June 17).
This raises the amusing contradiction that the author only allows patterns that support his own biased views. We tend to forget that apartheid SA had plenty of economic apparatchiks, just like the current (and equally vile) regime.
