  1. South Africa and its director should have spoken up a year ago, after the appointment of Mme Lagarde to head the IMF.

  2. Just a case of cry out against injustice where you find one. The world and its various systems smack of lack of transparency. Who will deliver us? America will justify its hold on the World Bank Presidency. It is all double speak.
