Mpumelelo Mkhabela | 'That those who fanned the flames of July unrest are today seeking to ascend to power through the very democratic system they sought to destroy is one of the most troubling ironies of SA's record as a democracy...' news24.com

Remarkable turnaround from ANC SECRETARY GENERAL | Fikile Mbalula! “In the presence of greatness”! Mbalula was one of the frontline organisers who helped remove Mbeki. And at Polokwane, on the day Mbeki was ousted, he traipsed around the media centre crowing “I told you Zuma would win, I told you!”

By 1992, Anglo controlled 34% of the JSE’s entire market capitalisation. At its height, it produced a third of the world’s gold output and 80% of all diamonds. Anglo was a giant of a company. news24.com/fin24/opinion/…

Last rites for Sir Ernest’s Anglo American? From global giant to BHP target news24.com/fin24/opinion/…

In 1992 Anglo American controlled 34% of the JSE. At its height, it produced a third of the global gold output, and 80 per cent of the world’s diamonds. Today 44 Main Street, Johannesburg, is empty. And Anglo is the target of a hostile takeover.

I also keep hearing that, in this election, government officials are under more pressure than ever to do work for — and push money towards — activities involving “the NGO”. That’s government-speak for “the governing party”. There’s an air of desperation.

The end of an era? This used to be the most influential address in the country, 44 Main Street, Johannesburg, erstwhile head office of Anglo American. If the BHP deal goes through one of SA’s corporate giants, already a shadow of its former self, could leave SA altogether.

The Murray murders investigation is 'just organised madness', writes Jonny Steinberg. 'This is a far more ominous story than one of corruption. That the minister and the police commissioner can keep their jobs after this exposure is extraordinary.' businesslive.co.za/bd/opinion/col…

#Speaker There are many angles to the resignation of Speaker Mapisa-Nqakula, but historically she is the first Speaker to resign her post, not only since 1994, but also since 1910 when national parliamentary tradition started.

The ANC have now produced two heads of government arms charged with corruption: one head of the executive, and one head of the legislative arm. That’s some record.

'Organisational renewal' in full flight. Zero tolerance for corruption. Cabinet-level support for law enforcement. And above all, respect for Parliament.

One thing about ANC cadres is that they support each other, no matter what. This 👇👇👇 reminds me of how in 2006 Essop Pahad, Baleka Mbete and I think Ibrahim Rasool accompanied Tony Yengeni to Pollsmor Prison to begin his Arms Deal related sentence.
