@_ayanda_sengane I think their cuts range between R80.000 and R300.00 but for free when done at the branch in Joburg CBD where they train youngsters

@koko_matshela I always assumed you to be a teetotaler and the picture seems to support that perception

Sibanyoni now talks about the so-called bucket money which he says taxi association bosses use as they wish including starting companies and hire hit men

[Kgaogelo Magolego @ThisKg]

Sibanyoni says violence in the taxi industry was introduced by the apartheid government through policies that created unhealthy competition between individual operators and between associations. The violence, he adds, continued even under democracy #MadlangaCommision

"I've survived two attempts on my life in 2006 and again in 2022 and I never got justice," Sibanyoni

@SabeloChalufu Its been long. Someone must rise

[Kgaogelo Magolego @ThisKg]

@Lebzaafrica @Enghumbhini No its too sweet to be put in a shank

[Kgaogelo Magolego @ThisKg]

@Sentletse In his defense I think he's stuck between a rock and a hard surface. He's lost count of investigations he's implicated in

[Kgaogelo Magolego @ThisKg]

@SabeloChalufu You remind me of how they have deputy spokesperson and not a spokesperson

[Kgaogelo Magolego @ThisKg]

@tebogokhaas @SABCNews @MorningLiveSABC @SakinaKamwendo I was a bit confused myself when we adjourned yesterday

[Kgaogelo Magolego @ThisKg]

In response Matlala says his concern is that some questions are harmless while others may lead to self-incrimination with Justice Madlanga immediately assuring him that his right to not self-incriminate is not waved

[Kgaogelo Magolego @ThisKg]

The three commissioners take some time to caution Matlala against refusing to answer questions in an to protect others including people who when they had their turn implicated him #MadlangaCommision

[Kgaogelo Magolego @ThisKg]

Cat Matlala’s lawyer Anelene Van Der Heever starts by informing the Madlanga Commission that she's not feeling well and thus her ears are blocked and that she'll as a result struggle to hear some of the things. Evidence Leader Mahlape Sello promptly assures her she'll be audible
