Some senior positions in the parastatal sector are a poisoned chalice and taking them is tantamount to signing a career death warrant contract, an experience that may haunt the job occupant for a lifetime.

Some are shunted out of office through picketing, mass demonstrations and witch hunt while others spend years trooping to court over corruption charges while hiding their faces from shame during long drawn hearing sessions.
