THE EUROPEAN Union (EU) is often cited as an exemplary model for regional political and economic integration in the world.

Brussels and Berlin were not their usual self in a state of confusion.
Besides the ongoing war with AstraZeneca and Britain, there has never been a pan-European approach or strategy managed from Brussels to guide Covid-19 responses from Lisbon to Zagreb.

On Monday, December 24, The Star published a story with the headline, “CR plotting PP’s arrest”, after receiving information that Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane was facing arrest for an allegation of perjury. A Star investigation uncovered Mkhwebane was last week requested to submit a statement at the Hillbrow police station in Joburg.
The statement would act as an admission of guilt in a plot to have her arrested before she delivered a report in which President Cyril Ramaphosa was being investigated for approving the ANC’s controversial trip to Zimbabwe on a defence force aircraft.
