It's not unusual that victims of a scam jump to the defence of the very fly-by-night operation that fleeces them of their hard-earned cash.

It's not unusual that victims of a scam jump to the defence of the very fly-by-night operation that fleeces them of their hard-earned cash.

Well, it happened yesterday when staff and students at a bogus college vented their anger on this newspaper and our reporter Vusi Ndlovu for exposing the African Gainako Poverty Alleviation Project in Orlando East, Soweto, as a pyramid sham.

For his troubles, Ndlovu was herded to the nearby Orlando police station, where his captors demanded his prompt arrest.

Haai, ignorance is bliss.
