The bombshell that the Ruperts, Oppenheimers and Rothschilds have been trying to capture the SA state through Project Spider Web will come as no surprise to a student at the UCT Graduate School of Business the varsity where you get pissed for a PhDTM.

But why would these uber-capitalists want to capture SA when they already own Graaff Reinet, London and Paris? The answer is wine. Look at the skuilnaams of their operatives and puppets: Trevor Manuel is known as the King of Leaves and Maria Ramos as the Queen of Leaves. while Dan Matjila (misspelled Majila in secret documents), CEO of the Public Investment Corporation, is code named the Iron Master, a clear reference to Pinotage which has an iron banana taste profile.

The Ruperts own many wine estates in Franschhoek and most of Distell while the Oppenheimers set up Vergelegen and brought Boschendal to market and the Rotshchilds are big in Bordeaux. Secret documents reveal the Ruperts, Oppenheimers and Rothshilds or ROR for short have already entangled the banks who withdrew facilities from the brave Gupta family last month.

These are the same banks who seek to control wine through their sponsorship of ridiculous competitions such as the FNB Sauvignon Blanc Top Ten, the ABSA Pinotage Top Ten (there are actually twenty) while Nerdbank fund the annual auction of the Cape Winemarketers’ Guild and Stranded Bank own the Platter wine label guide, perhaps the most obvious tool of commercial interests.

SA wine needs to urgently untangle itself from this dastardly web of financial conflicts of interest deftly spun by the RORs and their lackeys.
