Analysis: Nkandla, Madonsela and the Schippers ruling

Hlaudi Motsoeneng is a big fish. He's said to lead the SABC's "good story to tell" slant and has won one of the most influential jobs in South African media, plus some pay rises when he got there, despite his lack of formal qualifications. President Jacob Zuma is a much, much bigger fish, which is why last week's Western Cape High Court ruling is essentially about Number One. It sets a high bar for the president to escape remedial action on Nkandla. But, as usual, we await further clarity from the courts. By GREG NICOLSON.
