Fake news and Gaddafi's loot: two great pre-election spoilers

Noseweek didn’t get the $30m (R417,000,000) version of the Zuma / King Mswati II I /Muammar Gaddafi / Nkandla treasure story. That went to the Sunday Times which splashed it on their front page.  Noseweek got an even more implausible $24trillion one. Yes, US$24,000,000,000,000. And mind your naughts: that’s R333,600,000.000.000!
