Some of you may be watchers of the excellent American political drama series, House of Cards. It portrays the ruthless manipulation of people and forces by Democrat majority whip, Frank Underwood, in his quest to attain political power. Throughout the series, Underwood &#; his eyes firmly on the top seat &#; sacrifices just about every moral principle in favour of cold and calculated personal interest.
The title, House of Cards, is spot-on. The political structure put in place to support Underwood&#;s rise to the top is precarious. Dislodging a card on one side inevitably has a knock-on effect elsewhere. Sometimes his &#;victims&#;, by nature of this flimsy structure, are multiple.

RIAN MALAN: The strange case of Nomgcobo Jiba
Yet another controversial appointment deepens doubts about the President Zuma's commitment to the rule of law

Police files flow into the NPA’s maw, and decisions emerge on the far side — prosecute this case, abandon that one. Once, these decisions were respected. Now they often precipitate furious battles between rival law enforcement factions whose weapons include dirty tricks, illegal wiretaps and sensational leaks to the media. On August 18, however, the smoke cleared momentarily. The scene is a press conference at the NPA’s Pretoria headquarters. Two figures sit on the podium. The dashing man with shaven pate is Shaun Abrahams, a youngish lawyer plucked from relative obscurity to become the new head of the NPA. The woman beside him is Nomgcobo Jiba, a veteran of the NPA’s internal wars. Abrahams announces that he is a
