He also agreed with the racist assertion of an Italian businessman that this kind of corruption was &#8220;more African&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The SCA said: &#8220;It is difficult to imagine a more egregious transgression of the norms of professional conduct.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This was no mere casual or momentary lapse of judgement. It was carefully calculated and zealously pursued. When the several meetings in this country failed to bear fruit, Mr Nthai travelled to Italy for the express purpose of nailing down an agreement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the Constitutional Court dismissed Nthai&#8217;s application to appeal the SCA ruling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
