Another crisis, another fake 'Enemy of the State' dossier: Numsa edition

Either South Africa's intelligence agents need to have a spell checker installed on their computers or rogue conspiracy theorists that periodically churn out documents alleging sinister political plots should hire proof readers. These documents have become de rigueur with every new political development in the ANC and the alliance. Most are so badly written and conspiracies so badly sewn up that Mfundi Vundla wouldn't even consider them for the new 'Generations' script. The latest document alleges metalworkers' union Numsa is involved in an elaborate underground plot to effect regime change. The document writers seem to have missed that Numsa has openly declared its intention to change government, and that it is not illegal. By RANJENI MUNUSAMY.
