How insane do things have to get before we reject the current paradigm in which we pretend the rand issuing state magically has a shortage of rand with which to employ SAn engineers and other available resources, in order to maintain strategic industries and institutions, even when there is extreme unemployment, insufficient demand, cost pushed inflation and the defence force is severely understaffed and under-equipped?
REPORTING NOTES | Advocate Andrea Johnson offered some defences to the accusations made against her. And she stuck to her guns about IDAC prosecution calls — but the Feroz Khan matter remains a problem for her. Our first take after today.

What I have observed from Padayachee’s testimony is the striking resemblance of his ‘investigative’ approaches to those of Paul O’Sullivans. This approach is based on the dictum; you are guilty until WE prove you innocent! The evidence is sought and where necessary repurposed to fit the predetermined outcome. They use quasi-intelligence methodologies knowing very well these would not withstand legal scrutiny, hence, the underhand tactics to involve prosecutors, magistrates and other willing participants. It is sickening!
The President really needs to move fast on IDAC based on the evidence that has been led so far. Trumped up criminal charges and malicious prosecution of individuals is dangerous territory to play in and ruins peoples’ livelihood and rights.
Let me address this quickly : There is no Adhoc Committee that cleared anyone . The report has not yet been adopted by the committee. The secretariat brought a draft , we amended it through written submissions. They brought it again, the committee entirely rejected it and altered what it termed a “complete ignorance of the written submissions . For example; the committee strongly submitted that on three directives by the Minister of Police ; the Minister misconstrued his powers on dissolving the PKTT and the monotorium on filling of vacancies at CI was illegally meddling with operational issues.
I don’t know what the media said but I know no vindication of anyone by the Adhoc. The report which says Adams , and the likes had no business meddling with intelligence information making flimsy accusations of door step brown envelope.
I will plead with everyone, including the media to allow the committee to complete its report and it will be made publicly. The media should know by now that what is presented in Parliamentary meetings is presentations not resolutions.
End…
Sputla, Mteto Nyati and Dan must fight this madness of stripping Eskom of the Transmission assets, you take out those assets you are effectively killing Eskom.
Imagine bragging about "honest governance" when you literally threatened to deny municipal help to residents based on their political profile pics. Service delivery is a constitutional mandate, not a DA loyalty rewards program.
This is an important statement by the EFF. I fully support it. The Madlanga reports belong to South Africans and must be released.
It’s not unprecedented either: the President released the Nugent interim reports.
The CEO of Eskom, Dan Marokane, earned R11.728 million in the 2025 financial year, about 242% more than the President of the Republic's yearly remuneration package, which is R3.425 million.
