@politicaleconZA @News24 Interesting

Please never take anything from @News24 at face value... I don't know whether that tender was rigged, but what I'm sure of is that Gwarube wants to remove top officials so she can deploy 'DA cadres' to those positions. Read between the lines of what Adriaan Basson says here:

🚨Why Adv Chaskalson needs “permission” from legal bodies to respond to Mogotsi's Allegation that he promised Mogotsi protection for incriminating Carrim‼️ He is bound by law and professional rules in this exact situation As Evidence Leader, Chaskalson isn’t a free agent. He operates under • General Council of The Bar of South Africa • Legal Practice Council (LPC) • Advocates for Transformation 👉 So when Mogotsi accuses him, unlike you and I, he cannot just respond publicly 🧵1/..

Arena Holdings statement on Sunday Times Editor Makhudu Sefara

@pierredevos In 2024. Now SIU has implicated him in 2026.

Makhudu Sefara's attack on GroundUp and their lottery reporter Raymond Joseph "has failed to address our central point: that Sunday World, which he edited, got an inexplicably large amount of Lottery money and wrote stories favourable to the Lottery." groundup.org.za/article/sunday…

@Sefara_Mak @MalapJdk @CoruscaKhaya @Abramjee @RSASIU It's the same issue with Minnie Dlamini. The issue is Todi who were the grant recipient and funneled to your company. Guilty by association

@MalapJdk @CoruscaKhaya @Abramjee @RSASIU Nothing stops them from explaining as u did. Importantly, they had no reason to say the event didn’t take place when, in fact, it did - and there’s evidence to support that 🤷🏾‍♂️

#LOTTOHEIST SIU SECURES RECOVERY OF MISAPPROPRIATED LOTTERY FUNDS AND EXPOSES PATTERN OF ABUSE The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) has secured the full repayment of R3.2 million from a National Lotteries Commission (NLC) related beneficiaries who unduly benefited. The SIU has received R1.5 million that was misappropriated by Todi Media Development Foundation NPC and R1.71 million unduly awarded to Zibsiflo NPC. These cases highlight a coordinated scheme in which public funds meant for community upliftment were diverted into private pockets and toward property purchases. Under Proclamation R.32 of 2020, the SIU was mandated to investigate maladministration in the affairs of the National Lotteries Commission (NLC). Two investigations revealed that the same network of individuals misused grants intended for media development and women’s soccer clinics. Todi Media NPC The SIU found that the NLC granted Todi Media an R1.5 million grant (2018) intended for a media project that included covering journalists’ accommodation, car hire, catering, equipment rental, guest speakers, marketing, security, etc. Instead, the SIU found that money was diverted to: • Unscripted Communication, whose director is Makhudu Sefara, received R550,000 • Black Dungaree, whose director is Daniel Matome Malatjie, received R900,000, which was used to purchase a property, Bassonia Rock Extension, Johannesburg. As a result, Khutso Daniel Makwela, the director of Todi Media Development Foundation NPC, admitted misuse, signed an Acknowledgement of Debt (AOD), and repaid the full R1.5 million on 30 March 2026. Zibsiflo NPC – R1.71 million grant (2019–2020) The NLC also granted Zibsiflo NPC R1.71 million grant for Women’s soccer clinics in the Free State (transport, accommodation, facilitators, publicity). The SIU’s investigation found that Black Dungaree, owned by Daniel Matome Malatjie, received R1.36 million, and Charles Malatji received R200,000. The SIU also found that approximately R900,000 was used to acquire property in Bassonia under Matlala Martha Malatji and Ngwako Moses Malatji. As a result, Khutso Daniel Makwela, the director of Zibsiflo NPC, admitted misuse, signed an Acknowledgement of Debt (AOD), and repaid the full R1.71 million. The project was never implemented. This recovery demonstrates the SIU’s commitment to protecting public funds. Money meant to empower communities was instead diverted into private enrichment schemes. The SIU has ensured repayment. Repayment and settlement agreements do not absolve one of the SIU's obligation to make a referral for evidence of criminal conduct. In line with the Special Investigating Units and Special Tribunals Act 74 of 1996 (SIU Act), the SIU will refer any evidence of criminal conduct uncovered during its investigation to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) for further action. The SIU is also authorised to initiate civil proceedings in the High Court or a Special Tribunal in its name to correct any wrongdoing uncovered during its investigation and to recover financial losses suffered by the State, including funds paid for services not rendered.

@pinkykhoabane Wonder who is sponsoring all of these. It's also Indian Bussines man, Carrim Suliman in hospital as well. I think the modus operandi is delay delay until the Commission closes shop and Hangwani Maumela won't make it as well. Brought to us by ANC

These witnesses are the masters of delay. Brown with new lawyers. Chaskalson says they should have submitted the recusal application before today because Mogotsi was meant to appear today. But alas...Chaskalson has to get permission from several legal institutions before he can reply to Mogotsi's application - he's talking 6 May or so that he could be ready. Mogotsi will return on 15 May to argue his application and thereafter testify

Holy shit, this is BRILLIANT: This dude breaks down why everyone thinks the whole WHCD event was fake... everything about trump is FAKE. Best video you'll see today.

@pinkykhoabane And probably will never come back. The mess of his own doing. This time around no Mkhwanazi to save him. The Chief Procurement Officer and CFO are turning blind. They won't even come to to court to support him. He is on his own. Left to dry.

As usual, Masemola was slow to act. He's now in the dock and suspended.

@MzuvukileM64981 @zilevandamme BoKhumbhudzo are exposing themselves. Ke sono.

@zilevandamme Approved by Cabinet as well.

The right decision. 👌🏾 And I hope a cautionary tale across government. We cannot be led by AI-created & hallucinated policies. Review staff work for GenAI regurgitation & overreliance before you sign & publish. Once you do, that’s your work & the buck, by law, stops at your door

@zilevandamme Akere you left us with a mediocre people ko DA. They're just after personal glory. Remember for how long you serve as a portfolio committee member? I remember you and Mbuyiseni. Now we are subjected to AI generations

@VinnylJ @SollyMalatsi @RayMaboya Go tla loka niks. They are going to learn the hard way unfortunately.

@SollyMalatsi @RayMaboya This is fatuity at its highest degree!! At your level, you could have easily contacted Prof Marwala for assistance as he was heading of 4IR commissioner, he even chaired the Namibian one. He also published over 20 books on this, but you went for chatgpt generated stuff

Statement on the integrity of the Draft National Artificial Intelligence Policy Following revelations that the Draft National Artificial Intelligence Policy published for public comment contains various fictitious sources in its reference list, we initiated internal questions which have now confirmed that this was the case. This failure is not a mere technical issue but has compromised the integrity and credibility of the draft policy. As such, I am withdrawing the Draft National Artificial intelligence Policy. South Africans deserve better. The Department of Communications and Digital Technologies did not deliver on the standard that is acceptable for an institution entrusted with the role to lead South Africa ‘s digital policy environment. The most plausible explanation is that AI-generated citations were included without proper verification. This should not have happened. In fact, this unacceptable lapse proves why vigilant human oversight over the use of artificial intelligence is critical. It’s a lesson we take with humility. I want to reassure the country that we are treating this matter with the gravity it deserves. There will be consequence management for those responsible for drafting and quality assurance. End.

@SollyMalatsi Please step down and concentrate on you DA communication. You seem to be struggling in that department. Name just one thing this department has achieved since 2024 you took over. Waiting for my Post Office Bank card since your empty promises

@CommsZA @SollyMalatsi Consequences Management must start with the Minister and his office including his deputy. But it's CR administration, nothing will come out of the shambles and embarrassment that a Ministry critical of ICT is poorly managed by ANC and DA partnership

📌📌📌Statement by Minister @SollyMalatsi on the Integrity of the Draft National Artificial Intelligence Policy.

@Manikipi Possibly

The President saved her by waiting for two years to establish an inquiry into fitness of Adv. Chauke. A trained lawyer himself, he must have gone through the evidence & realised it would sink her. Presidents don't make obvious mistakes😅

@D_Molatoli Compromised this one. While SIU is still fully functional and the machine is grinding. It must be said though even before he came in with Tembisa Investigation outcome, SIU was working. Recall the Willie Hofmeyer days? It was not Mothibi who came with changes

I don't know what I expected but I don't feel Advocate Andy Mothibi's role as the new Head of the NPA. He started on the 1st February, taking after Advocate Shamila Batohi. Useless and hopeless she proved to be. He is in office for 30 months until he retires at 65. He's 63 years now. It's business as usual since he started. IDAC is carrying on the way they did under Batohi. I heard the President saying they are independent. Independent? yeah right!! 😅 I literally rolled my eyes and laughed. The Criminal Justice System is so compromised man. There's a huge trust deficit between us as members of the public and them. Unless he does something about IDAC, he will go to retirement as one of them. #MadlangaCommission

@BrendaWardle He is in a dream land. You charge a CEO and leave CFO in procurement. And replace a CEO with the same CFO who approved the tender.

Vetting says President Ramaphosa. We shall see.

@pinkykhoabane Keep it up. Following

🚨BOMBSHELL at the #NkabindeInquiry Adv Ngcukaitobi just dismantled Adv Mlotshwa’s cross… in UNDER 15 minutes. Yes. 15. Minutes. 👇 What started off as a seemingly simple exercise ended in major concessions ‼️🧵1/..

@NeoOrNever @politicaleconZA Not sure and I don't know how the ICJ works. Just like UN, it seems all agencies of UN are toothless.

@rakgoshi @politicaleconZA question is, is the case genuine?🥱

Notice that the people saying how great Ramaphosa's 'radical' speech was are mostly those funded by the Oppenheimers (like Axolile here) or are George Soros projects like Redi Tlhabi. So you shouldn't be surprised that the whole event is fake progressives...

@Miss_Thola @EFFSouthAfrica Wonderful work indeed

This is an appreciation post for @EFFSouthAfrica Media and Communications team. Whether Julius Malema is in Parliament or in court, a media statement will be written and released without delay. At the same time, we receive updates and photos from EFF events across the country.

@israel_ajoje Lesson learned.

Chelsea have sacked Liam Rosenior. The contract he signed in January runs until 2032. Without the right legal protection in place, the bill for today's decision would have been £24 million. Reports have it that it was just £4million. Let me tell you how. Article 17 of FIFA's Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players is the governing provision here. It states that where a contract is terminated without just cause, the party in breach shall pay compensation, and that compensation shall be calculated with due consideration to the remaining value of the contract under the existing agreement. In plain terms, if you sack a manager/player before his contract expires and you cannot demonstrate just cause, you owe him what he would have earned for the rest of it. That's why you hear terms like a club has to "buy-out" a player/coach if they want to release. them. This provision protects the players. Rosenior signed a six-and-a-half year deal worth £4 million per year in January 2026. The full remaining value of that contract at the point of sacking was approaching £24 million. According to reports, Chelsea structured the agreement to include a capped termination clause estimated to limit the payout to between £4 million and £10 million regardless of when the termination occurs. That clause is the only reason the number is smaller than Article 17 would otherwise demand. Based on what is circulations, Chelsea built that protection in deliberately after paying combined compensation of over £36 million to Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter, Mauricio Pochettino and Enzo Maresca in the space of three years. Everyone gained something at least. I hope you learned something today. My name is Ajoje. I am a FIFA Licensed Agent and International Sports Lawyer.
