'One year after IDT boss ‘bribe’ sting, no arrests or prosecutions
It has been more than a year since Daily Maverick’s explosive video ‘sting’ captured former Independent Development Trust CEO Tebogo Malaka and the organisation’s spokesperson offering this journalist a cash ‘bribe’ in exchange for dropping an investigation into Malaka’s financial dealings with an IDT contractor. Despite the clear video evidence, the Hawks and the National Prosecuting Authority are yet to act.'

When we care less about our people, our people become careless.

Stupidity is knowing the truth, seeing the truth but still believing the lies. And that is more infectious than any other disease.

Depression lies to you. It distorts the truth of who you are, puts clouds over any good moments in your past, and presents nightmares as your future.

Breathe and try to believe there is more in you and for you than you may be able to see in this season.

The sooner we cut out all this “sophisticated” political analysis about these shenanigans the better.
The people are no fools. They see who is raiding the state coffers.
Ke nako!

[Mel Brooks @Mel_BrooksSA]

Good managers know how to build networks across their own businesses & industry. They know that good networks are based on reciprocity.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

The Process:

1) Decide what you want to achieve.

2) Try different ways of achieving it until you find one that works for you.

3) Do more of what works. Do less of what doesn’t.

4) Don’t stop doing it until it stops working.

5) Repeat.

It is both this simple and this hard.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Basic ways to avoid hypocrisy:

1. Hold yourself to higher standards than you hold others
2. Don’t take credit if you aren’t willing to accept blame
3. Only preach what you already practice
4. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen
5. Under-promise and over-deliver

Forget about what you could have done if you had started earlier,

focus on what you will be able to do if you start today.

[Gabyj @gabyj1]

The name of Thuli Madonsela will go down in the annals of South Africa as the one public servant who uncovered the web of ANC state capture and recommended the state capture enquiry. If not for her, the extend of the corruption would not have been uncovered.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

It's nice to be needed, but it's healthier to be valued.

Being needed creates dependence: people are helpless without us, so it becomes difficult to say no.

Being valued maintains independence: there's no pressure to say yes. Helping becomes a choice, not a chore.

This is a doctored & deliberately falsified image that seeks to use my public profile to garner support for a specific agenda. This is a blatant lie & was NOT drafted or posted by me. I reject this in the strongest terms &have lodged the complaints with Twitter.
Pls report it.
