Charlotte’s Mum

On Tuesday afternoon, my parents were involved in a head-on collision with a driver who appears to have swerved into their lane. Tragically, both of them died, my mum on the scene, and my dad a short while later at the hospital.

RESPONSE TO DAILY MAVERICK ARTICLE Strip away the framing of today’s Daily Maverick piece and here's what the story actually says: a person who once worked at Resolve a number of years ago, who knows RICA and SIM-card fraud well, went on to raise it in Parliament and in the media of her own volition, after she left. That's it. That's the whole story. Despite this, Rebecca Davis of the Daily Maverick decided to build a whole story based around an inference built on the fact that someone once worked for Resolve. If that's the standard, no MP with real-world expertise could ever legislate in their own field: not a doctor, not a lawyer, not a trade unionist, not an accountant. Expertise from a past career is usually an asset for a lawmaker, yet here, conveniently, it's been recast as evidence of something strangely sinister. SIM-card fraud and weak RICA enforcement fuel real violent crime in this country. An MP who understands that and pursues it hard should be welcomed, not smeared. Turning that into a “gotcha” moment isn't journalism, it's a hatchet job.
