@siyantombela_ I have changed my mind as the facts have changed. I am not led by public opinion, but what see in front of me. Johnson has major questions to answer still, but that doesn't change the fact that bad actors are swarming on this opportunity to see IDAC hollowed out.

[Kyle Cowan @CowansView]

After witnessing the testimony by Andrea Johnson and the facts are clear, I agree with this view. The case against Khumalo and Mokwele et al cannot be sustained. We need IDAC, and we need actions to maintain its credibility.

[amaBhungane @amaBhungane]

ActionSA and the EFF have both lodged complaints with the Information Regulator to block amaBhungane’s access to their financial statements. This is after the Independent Electoral Commission agreed to share the financials of ALL South Africa’s political parties represented in parliament. What are they trying to hide?

It is naive to think the vultures will not use this opportunity to reach their own ends.

[Wonderer @2towonder]

@CowansView IDAC is an organisation, it can remain, just the current office bearers are not doing it any justice. Change the leadership and it could be doing the work of #Madlanga

And thus you prove my point. The affidavit in question was written by Matshela Koko, not my wife.

You know. The Eskom guy I wrote about dozens of times in connection with State Capture allegations?

I suspect you could benefit from more thinking and less speaking.

[Renaldo “Ngamla” Gouws 🇿🇦 @RenaldoGouws]

@CowansView You hide nothing? Care to share the affidavit your ex-wife wrote about you?

[Kyle Cowan @CowansView]

@Viwe_Pobana @RenaldoGouws So what? He posted it years ago. There's nothing in there that I am embarrassed about.

If you can't see that one of the main state capture actors is deliberately trying to embarrass someone who exposed him, I can't help you.

[Kyle Cowan @CowansView]

Welcome to. We hide nothing.

Mkhwanazi doesn't scare me.

I've said it before and will say it again, SAPS (and law enforcement) must be broken down and rebuilt.

SA deserves better.

[Princess @Sisi_Sasha]

@CowansView No man. We need Mkhwanazi to investigate News24.

[Kyle Cowan @CowansView]

"Once again you have put your keen and penetrating mind to the task and as usual, come to the wrong conclusion" is a nice quote I once read that feels appropriate here.

[Africa Research Desk @MightiJamie]

Spoon feeding? There is no spoon feeding at the Madlanga Commission.

The spoons are at news24, or Andrea24. What’s this? (See pics) is that not an attempt at brainwashing the public?

No cutlery at Madlanga although they are eating. They are cooking.

There is a retired and excellent constitutional court justice with two other brilliant legal practitioners throughly probing witnesses and evidence. Fact based, gossip allergic commission.

There is a chief evidence leader Adv Chaskalson and his team who are exposing the innards of the violent and greedy big five cartel.

All Adv Andrea Johnson had to do was go and explain her side of the story, give a logical legal basis for her actions and provide proof of her allegations.
