While the Guptas are blamed for state capture, the finger should really be pointing at the ANC's 2007 elective conference in Polokwane, writes Paul Hoffman.
As the contents of the Pandora's Box of scandalous information tumbles out at the hearings of the Zondo commission of inquiry, it is popular to hear of politicians in the Free State being blamed for enabling the Gupta family's attempt to capture the state in SA.
It is historically clear that Rome was sacked by the Visigoths in 410 AD. It is now unlikely that the Guptas will go down in history as having successfully sacked SA.
