20 - Orlando Pirates are also unbeaten in 20 away games (W15 D5 all comps), equalling Sundownsโ record for longest unbeaten run by a PSL top-flight team. Hodophilia.
@IOL@RamaphiriMpho โ itโs not because there is no money, but in this country money is everywhere besides where it is actually neededโ . That statement is as real as it gets in South Africa.
Advocate Chaskalson asked Professor Fikeni, with a bit of a despondent chuckle, what can this Commission do, how can they frame recommendations in a way that they will get implemented, considering that recommendations from many other Commissions, including the PSC itself, are not being implemented.
His response depressed me. ๐ญ He said first of all, there's no political will and administrative will to implement and follow up. No resourcing either for implementation.
Most importantly though, it's when he says, those in Treasury for example who will say "what is the cost of doing this", they should be asked, "what is the cost of not doing it".
In the security establishment, he says, the cost of doing nothing, is in the lives that are lost. The cost of doing nothing, it's not the statistics, it's the pain of every family going through the challenges that otherwise could have been avoided.
He's basically warning the Commission that there is a high possibility that their recommendations will not be seen through. They'll bank on the fact that after 3 years we would have forgotten. And life will go back to what it was.

Judge Madlanga is a genius, he invited Prof. Somadoda Fikeni to expose what has been the failure from the past commissions of inquiry, now the entire country fully understands that the government is the one holding us back.
Jacinta is saying what many are afraid to say. Imagine if the roles were reversed. The NGOs would be activated, lawyers would be on the ground, ministers would be travelling, government would be explaining itself and every platform would be demanding accountability.
Yet when South Africans are affected, the expectation seems to be, tolerate it, keep quiet and move on.๐ฉ
