"was moving his hands around but there was no meaning in what he used his hands for"You could say almost the same thing about King Barry:
"he was moving his lips around but there was no meaning in whatever came out of his mouth"

S.A. is notoriously corrupt. My guess he is a relative of a politician, put on payroll thinking they could actually get away with it. He is probably doing security now, or chauffeuring.
