@KansureDev @BNOFeed I believe they’ve proven it is the Andes variant of the virus, one of the few capable of human-to-human transmission. And it starting on a cruise ship gave it the perfect opportunity to mutate among passengers. We’ll have to wait and see what it can do.

@Arfness @hazelwood_dave @AdriaanBasson Which company? The one the mother owned? Very unlikely any of that could have met the very precise requirements
English
@LauriKubu @hazelwood_dave @AdriaanBasson Those are baseless accusations. The company had, even according to the first News24 article, access to a trove of content from a previous company.

.@AdriaanBasson Why does your journalist not include the fact that Media24 took part in this tender, unsuccessfully. News24 ran two additional articles not mentioning this. Isn't that info important? share.google/KtvaqD0CPzajBx…
English
@hazelwood_dave @Arfness @AdriaanBasson Because they hired human writers, illustrators and book designers.
English
@Arfness @AdriaanBasson It's been reported that the tender was awarded to the lowest cost provider to the benefit of taxpayers. So all this bleating is from competitors who wanted to charge more.

@suntoshpillay @News24 #LighthousePublishing has no record in publishing - so where do its 1700 titles come from?!!

Great journalism, Prega Govender @News24
A company with zero publishing experience got the lion share of a R1.6 Billion textbook tender
Two directors:
A 27yr black guy in China
A 34yr white lady in Cape Town
Company just got registered

@lulushezi @SPQRSA @AdriaanBasson @News24 And Vivlia, the largest independent black owned publisher with a long track record in educational publishing gets a provisional acceptance and then nothing. 😢

@SPQRSA @AdriaanBasson @News24 Walk with me here, bro.
Lighthouse, a literal newbie with ZERO experience (they've never published ANYTHING EVER) was allocated 26.73%.
OUP, which has been around for over 400 years and publishes in 190 countries, comes 2nd at 19.95%.
Everyone else, <10%.

Company with no publishing history gets lion’s share of R1.6bn textbook tender 🚩🚩🚩 news24.com/southafrica/ed…

I had books put forward for this tender by my publisher in Johannesburg. We got nothing after more than a year's delay. 😭😭😭

The Basic Education Department says it is disappointed that systems failed to quickly detect issues in a textbook procurement tender. This follows reports that Lighthouse Publishers secured a significant share of foundation phase materials despite a limited track record. Minister Siviwe Gwarube has asked Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana to investigate the alleged irregularities. #KayaNews #TextbookScandal SM

Two mass shootings and the burial of little Kago. At the root weak insecure, failing men looking for people to blame.
Our crisis is weak men- they become terrorists and murderers blaming everyone but themselves. Strong men don't do this shit. Insecure weak men do this. 😡
