@Jon_M_Berger @bevschafer One only needs to look at the Dis-Chem/Clicks shelf space taken up by the many brands of complimentary/supplements to realise they are onto good thing. Little risk and, I suspect, high margins.

Would you prefer to have complementary medicines and health supplements unregulated, @bevschafer? No need for good manufacturing processes? No need to ensure that they contain what they claim to contain? Just a free-for-all?

It's Friday! 🎉🎉
What is everyone reading this weekend #booktwt #BookTwitter?
I started Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus because the TV show is out next week and I need to read the book before I watch the show 😍

@OUTASA @CRRC_global @PresidencyZA #Transnet got themselves into this situation via allowing corrupt practices. The #Chinese don’t play around so we need to get our house in order first.
English
So, @CRRC_global is holding #Transnet hostage, while they were paying US$146m in kickbacks to Salim Essa into his Hong Kong bank accounts. What are you going to do about this @PresidencyZA?
We pointed the #corruption out to you in 2020 already. Read: outa.co.za/blog/newsroom-…

Mzimela says the Chinese retaliated when South Africa (Reserve Bank, SARS & SIU) investigated the contracts to the supply 1064 locomotives due to state capture. They refused to supply parts.

@PaulivW @sajournalist Thanks for keeping this issue in the spotlight. One of the ships is earmarked for moorings in #Saldanha which is not very far from where I live. Also check if SA Maritime Safety Agency have approved #Karpowership risk assessment for this port.

@PhotoColman Bit of an own goal with the choice of oil company logo. The #ANC has an indirect investment in #Shell Downstream which is their retail arm for fuel and lubricants. The #ANC stands to profit from our misfortune.

Is Jimmy Manyi playing dumb for His gullible followers who will like and repost this buffoonery? How is Ramaphosa involved with Oil prices fluctuation? As if during 9 wasted of state capture Butternut head was doing that. Is He just playing dumb? Take your pick.🚮

@Arfness @CoruscaKhaya 100%. Also don’t finalise an audit because the results may not to your liking ! Many companies would love to hide behind such nonsense. I have gone thru many audits in my areas of operational responsibility and the auditors were to be feared.
English
I'm not an accountant or auditor, but these excuses from the minister smack of bullshit. Maybe @CoruscaKhaya could comment.
Andrew Fraser@Arfness
Wtaf? Differing financial years? What impact could that possibly have? Many businesses have differing financial years, and still manage to get audited despite having investments. And GRAP is generally recognised for a reason. The findings are the reason.

@youngvulgarian Our 🇿🇦Government banned sale of all cigarettes during the Covid lockdowns. All it did was stimulate a trade in black market of normal brands at huge markups and a surge in sale of bootleg cigarettes that avoid paying duties. The bootleggers are now winning.

@wabbab @BrentLindeque Thanks, I am still thinking “old school” !

Friends, I need your help please.
So this happened to my Fibre cable yesterday. My Internet provider needs to come and fix it and this will apparently take them 3 to 4 working days and cost me R1,800.
Like, I’m not even joking.
Is there someone who is able to do it quicker and cheaper?

@HellaTamaryn You forgot to tick the “ no substitutions” box ! I have received some interesting substitutions under those circumstances 😀

@morrow_nw They are very effective when it comes to targeting perceived political opponents. The leaking of the Zuma Arms Deal tapes re his prosecution is a case in point.

The only comfort is that our lot are so utterly useless and thick, that it’s unlikely to be very effectively implemented

This👇. If the two Bills before Parliament are passed into law as they now stand, South Africa's spooks will be able to monitor every call you make, every message & email you send, every website you visit. All in the name of ‘national security’. dailymaverick.co.za/article/2023-1…

There is NOTHING to celebrate about the return of Kusile Unit 3, which provides 500MW. Absolutely NOTHING. Why?
- the construction started in August 2008
- was supposed to take only 6 yrs at the cost of R81 billion to the public purse...

@IntelwatchNews @MVC_SA Shades of security legislation pre 1994. #Zimbabwe has just introduced legislation which effectively severely restricts criticism of its Government. Severe penalties if found guilty

#GILAB gives South Africa's State Security Agency sweeping new powers to vet any non-profit or religious institution that the government views as a potential national security threat. The Bill's definition of a threat is so broad, that any organisation could be targeted.

@SimplyMegszcpt Interesting article, agree that the inverter’s recharge rate should be set as low as possible. However, there is no evidence provided in article that addition of Solar would have significantly mitigated the recharging demand. Nationally Solar yields vary lot esp in Winter. #Eskom

@Azanamania The accusers are not even prepared to identify themselves. One way to avoid taking any responsibility and possibly guilty of libel. Bell Pottinger may no longer exist but their misinformation tactics live on.

@SimplyMegszcpt @MayorPappas The last allegation shows that it is all rubbish . Remember, even #Pravin was accused of having a Canadian bank account. Same playbook .

@amaBhungane Always support an organisation that has a high proportion of its income actually spent on providing the primary service it claims to deliver. Many spend the income disproportionately on indirect costs. 80% to purpose, 20% to overheads is good guide. #PinkDay
English
Charlotte Maxeke Hospital told amaBhungane that it wasn’t aware that some of the funds raised through Pink Day would cover the organiser’s costs. CSA says it is entitled to recover some costs and “never wilfully misled” the hospital #PinkDay #BePartOfIt
