I have made the difficult decision to resign from @dailymaverick in December in order to pursue an opportunity to do much the same - chase crooks & make it just a little more difficult to do illicit business in South Africa - in the corporate sector. Today was my last day. 🥂🇿🇦✨

I'll debate you in front of a judge in a court. I don't play with concepts like PR explanations vs truth. You can ask the judge about the interpretation of "donation" & "gratification" under Poca and Precca. Bring along Floyd Shivambu, Julius Malema and Brian Shivambu too. #VBS

At Walmer High School, a no-fee township school in Gqeberha, no one wanted to take math. Until new teacher Songezo Mtati (26) came to class with a plan. As matric results were released on Monday he wrote: 'Finally I managed to get 100% in MATHS…” ❤️✨🇿🇦

Ex-VBS chair #TshifhiwaMatodzi lifts the lid on how #JuliusMalema & #FloydShivambu grabbed R16.1m from #VBS. It was supposed to be gratuitous "donations" to #EFF. The leaders took almost all of the stolen funds for themselves The full affidavit attached.

I will remind you, mr President @PresidencyZA, that you moved #ArthurFraser to this position at Correctional Services, “out of the way”. This new mess is what you get, and cause, and saddle South Africa with, when you play musical chairs with tainted officials.

Remember that time I asked @Julius_S_Malema & the #EFF at their presser if they received illicit #VBS funds from #Sgameka and #Mahuna? They all told us “no”. Well, they lied. This is how the poor was robbed to feed the political & personal interests of Julius Malema & EFF:

Interesting that democracy's biggest scammers and sellouts are suddenly worried about "Hollywood style arrests". They conveniently forget that the eating was Hollywood style, too.

Let’s just call this what it is: Planned terrorism against SA in the name of #Zuma. No quintessential protestor attacks the water network, electrical supply, hospitals, journo offices. Zuma's 'private spy' Thulani Dlomo a prime suspect. - @News24

Politicians should leave nation building to South Africans. We don't need their divisive politics and idiotic statements to tell us how we should or should not think and react. It is not in the interest of a contemporary politician that South Africans actually get along.

My moment of pride was "South Africans didn't allow this". It is mostly true. And we did pull together. In the end, we only have each other.
