1. We all saw the #destruction caused by visible #looting in #SAUnrest & communities are reeling from the impact. But about 1000 times of what it will cost to repair last week’s damage, was “invisibly” looted through #StateCapture & #corruption. Here are some highlights

2. According to @ShadowWorldInv1 the #ArmsDeal of the 1990’s cost SA an estimated R2,2 billion looted to pay bribes and kickbacks. To date nothing has been recovered. Money that could have changed the poor’s lives wasted on #GrandScaleLooting.
3. In 2015 @CompComSA found #construction companies #GroupFive, #WBHO, #BasilRead, Murray&Roberts, #Aveng & #StefanuttiStocks guilty of #colluding when building 2010 FIFA World Cup stadiums. This added R14 billion to construction costs. (Your taxmoney!)

1. I’m kicking you out. Cebo says. It’s time to go. I’ve been lying on my hospital bed for hours. Waiting for those words. And it’s time now. Hours earlier Dr Sibanda and I had elbow greeted.We smiled.And we both knew it had been a journey. I had been at the bottom

@SAEditorsForum @sbungalwa @brodiegal @KathyMagrobi @Journ_SA This year’s #SOTN looks back at 2019 and offers some initial reflections on 2020. QW+'s contribution to the report delves into how journalists choose to amplify the opinions and perspectives of men over women when they use the same men news experts time after time. #SOTN2020
The #SABC matter is very complicated; there are no easy fixes whichever way its looked at.
Only 3% of the SABC revenue comes from Government.
The wage bill is 43% of total expenditure.
Part of the 8 conditions for the R3.2bn bailout speak to restructuring & cost cutting measures.

The accumulation, over years, of bad corporate governance, corruption, fraud & maladministration is precisely why the #SABC is in this current impasse.
#NationalTreasury intervention is needed because whichever way things go, money is required.
Challenge is its availability?

The public mandate of the #SABC remains largely unfunded. The success prospects of the competing commercial ventures at the SABC are weighed down by financial constraints.
The corporation is not just about news; the variables and components are vast.

Amidst a fog of selective outrage re #SABC TV licence issue, fueled by clickbait media that would be happy to see SABC closed down & sold off to private sector, the question of how to legitimately fund #PublicBroadcasting in a constitutional democracy has been ignored. A thread👇
#SABC is not the only public broadcaster in the world using a licence fee mechanism to part-fund public mandate programming. But the statute that governs this - the Broadcasting Act - is 21 years old & needs review. Hence its 1 of the issues posed in govt's draft White Paper. /2
The current law is based on now archaic notion of owning a "TV set" in a world where #SABC audio & AV content is now broadcast & streamed on multiple platforms, incl. analogue FM & TV, DTT, DTH, mobile apps, YouTube, Twitter, FB & on a sports portal sabcsportonline.co.za /3

L'actualité a ceci qu'elle s'impose parfois brutalement à la réflexion, afin de tenter de comprendre ce qui est inexplicable.
En l'occurrence, cherchons ce qui peut motiver l'état du #Cameroun à lever une taxe sur le numérique, secteur à protéger pourtant.

Précisons d'abord à l'adresse des douaniers camerounais que les chiffres montrent qu'ils travaillent plutôt bien, en augmentant systématiquement les recettes chaque année.
Ici un rappel sur le bilan au 3T de 2017, avec des mesures d'accompagnement👇

La même tendance haussière s'est poursuivie en 2018 (1T), avec une explication logique de la DGDC, sur l'origine de cette augmentation (plus grand volume de containers pour les chantiers de la CAN, et importation de pétrole par la Sonara) 👇

After a monumental journey, @SABC3’s flagship magazine show @SABC3Topbilling is coming to an end.
The series brought viewers a taste of the good life by showcasing some of SA’s grandest homes, breath-taking countries, biggest stars, local celebrities and many ‘I Do’s.

@SABC3Topbilling has, for years, been a place where viewers stepped out of their world and into the glamorous world of entertainment, lifestyle, fashion, travel, décor and design, catapulting it to the forefront of South African television.
#TopBilling is the longest-running entertainment & lifestyle tv show in SA. It’s been an exceptional 25 yrs as a producer & co-owner of Tswelopele Productions, producing a show that has captivated audiences, especially when I think of my 1st day as a presenter on TopBilling.
We currently have 14 cases at SAPS. But evidence for many more. Time for action against Zwane, Seleke, Gigaba, Molefe, the #Guptas, the #Zumas, Anoj Singh, Mark Pamensky, Hlaudi and others against whom we laid criminal cases in the past 3 years. Plenty of evidence ready for #NPA.
1) #OUTA also made several submissions to the #ZondoCommission (with evidence) on #StateCapture involving
Dan Mantsha, Gupta companies, Matshela Koko, MKMVA, TNA, Sinqumo Trust (Zuma's wife's trust), Trillian, Free State Premier's Office,
Transnet Second Defined Benefit Fund.

2) #OUTA also made submissions (or are in the process of submitting) evidence to #ZondoCommission on #StateCapture at #SABC, #ESKOM, #Denel, #SAA and #Transnet. We are in regular contact with investigating officers on all of this.
