The other problem with Minister Simelane's big stinky VBS issue is that she will surely not be remotely focused on the aspects of her portfolio that are in deep shit, like the chaos at the Masters' Office. Or the deeds office. Or the delays in cases going to trial. Etc

#OUTA, PMG and #OpenUp are developing a #ParliamentaryTransparencyDashboard, co-funded by the EU in SA. The dashboard will provide up-to-date parliamentary data and analysis, aiming to make it more accessible to & understandable for the public. openup.org.za/blog/openup-pa…”

With the evidence we have gathered (and more coming in), we are confident to bring an interdict to halt the awarding of the drivers license contract to IDEMIA, if the Dept of Transport doesn’t cancel their plans to proceed with it.

This is both disgusting and outrageous. NGOs who need the funds have been deserted by ⁦Gauteng Provincial Gov⁩, while funds are not being used. People are dying. ⁦Panyaza Lesufi⁩ & his team should be ashamed. dailymaverick.co.za/article/2024-0…

SHEER IRONY. Only in SA, can you have thugs that bring a State entity to its knees, causing electricity prices to sky-rocket, and then he serves the people in Parliament to oversee the efficient running of the entity. 🥴 Seriously. Documentary stuff this? news24.com/fin24/climate_…

Of one thing we are sure, this tender for the new smart drivers license card was manipulated and steered toward one outcome. A greedy outcome at that and the evidence is clear. Not only must this award to Idemia be scrapped, but heads need to roll at the DLCA.

And I guess that NOBODY HAS BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE. This is the problem with our cadre deployment and cronyism that pervades the City of Joburg : Johannesburg council approves write-off for billions in unauthorised and wasteful expenditure news24.com/news24/southaf… via @news24

This Wild Coast bridge was budgeted at under R3bn. Now over R4bn. This vanity project was never required as a simple realignment of this route would have negated it.: South Africa’s new R4 billion bridge – set to be the tallest in Africa – BusinessTech businesstech.co.za/news/motoring/…

There is something seriously wrong with our SOE Executive packages. It seems that wrecking the country’s airlines and rail systems, sets one up for massive payouts. Siza Mzimela received a massive R12.7m payout for her “troubles” on leaving Transnet. Portia Derby did even better,

AT LAST! We have a Minister of Police who is doing what his predecessors failed to do. ‘All hands on deck’ to take out criminal mafias in South Africa – BusinessTech businesstech.co.za/news/governmen…

The bulk water project started in 2014, meant to be completed by 2017. R4 BILLION spent, but some of the 55 villages will only have water in TWO YEARS! Why are we not angrier about this kind of thing? How can people still defend corrupt leaders? dlvr.it/TD2sBc

Health activist Dr Aslam Dasoo says the greatest threat to the healthcare of the residents of Gauteng is Gauteng Health because of inadequate policy direction, a lack of administrative capabilities, and deep-seated corruption. (Let’s remember #BabitaDeokaran died over this.)

NO ⁦ANC SECRETARY GENERAL | Fikile Mbalula⁩. Any coalition or political leadership arrangement must SERVE THE PEOPLE ONLY. They must NOT serve the political party’s interests. What is it about “Public Service” that you don’t understand? news24.com/news24/politic…

Emfuleni - a massive industrial hub under ANC rule for three decades. It has also been in financial ruin for most of that time, in & out of administration many times and still… no one held accountable & no road to recovery. Sigh. #UGetWhatUVote4 news24.com/fin24/economy/…

#PravinGordhan’s legacy is one of courage and unwavering integrity. He stood firm in the fight for justice and accountability, inspiring us all to do the same. Rest in peace.
