Ah, my brother, do not forget that Cyril was the trade union leader who wrote the very pro-labour laws into our constitution, and also the man who single-handedly kept our negotiations on track. He was happy to walk in Madiba's shadow in the early days and it's a great irony that the former socialist/unionist is now such a wealthy capitalist! I do not know as much about Mr. Sexwale, but Mr. Ramaphosa has my utmost respect in that he is one of the old school of ANC leaders. I seem to still be stuck in the 1960s as I have sadly spent most of our democratic years outside of our beautiful country and know far more about Mr. Sisulu than his daughter who is an MP.
