Paul Mashatile: The internal player

Loading player...
Vice President Paul Mashatile has been in the crosshairs of late - not least of all because his VIP Protection officers assaulted unarmed civilians. BizNews now takes a look at his ascendency to power. Veteran Gauteng Democratic Alliance (DA) politician Jack Bloom gives his take on Mashatile’s talent as an “internal” politician, his lack of “external” political achievement, his ambitious climb of the rungs of power, as well as the persistent allegations about his lavish lifestyle, his “fishy” associates, and the ‘Alex Mafia’. Bloom says that everything that's been alleged about Mashatile is true, he was a pioneer of State Capture. - Chris SteynYour early morning brew of the BizNews Insider keeps you up to speed with the content that matters.
