    The Zondo Commission has gone on for so long now, that it’s almost a normal part of everyday life in South Africa.

    The length of the trial, its ups and downs, testimonies and scandals are evidence of the complexity of unpacking the greed, complicity, and outright theft of a nation’s resources that took place under the Zuma administration.

    Yet, as CNN’s Richard Quest recently asked, how many people have gone to prison?

    How To Steal A Country, a 90-minute long documentary directed by Rehad Desai and co-directed by Mark J Kaplan, unpacks the state capture scandals at the centre of the data leak that started it all  – the #GuptaLeaks.

    City Press with more:

    It underlines the vulgar extravagance of the Gupta family and how they arguably over-reached themselves with their now notorious Waterkloof airbase landing.

    Revisiting, on film, the events of recent years it seems incredible the ease with which this family from Uttar Pradesh so quickly dominated a state apparently ripe for wholesale corruption.

    The release of the film, amidst the recent stories about Zuma’s ill health and delays in the state capture inquiry, was deliberate.

    Desai points out that, “there is already enough information in the public domain; enough for investigations and prosecutions, but so far there have been none”.

    He makes it clear that the intention of the film is to increase public awareness of “the heist of the South African economy”, and also to “put pressure on the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) and on the ANC to clean itself up”.

    The film screened in the new Avalon CineCentre in Cape Town on Monday. The trailer really draws you in:

    You can catch How To Steal A Country, on Saturday, February 1, at the Johannesburg Bioscope.
