And so it was with National Director of Public Prosecutions Menzi Simelane. We gave him the benefit of the doubt even when he did not come out of the Ginwala Commission smelling of roses. When his CV was intercepted, riddled with spelling mistakes, we continued to suspect sinister motives.

Cool, thanks to hindsight.
