During my participation in the African Renaissance Podcast, I attributed a voice note to comrade Ronald Lamola. Comrade Lamola has since advised me that the voice was not his. I withdraw the attribution on the basis of his clarification.
The broader concern I raised regarding the influence of money in leadership contests remains an important matter that must be addressed for the renewal and integrity of the African National Congress.

This is Midrand South Africa!
Show me anywhere like this in Ghetto cities of Abuja and Lagos and I will disown myself!
We don’t have cities in Nigeria, what we have are slums including Banana Island and Abuja.
What Matlala was describing is Money Laundering. Pay a huge amount of money into a legitimate business account (Deposit 2mill cash, the supplier takes 200k then refunds you 1.8million). That 1.8million now becomes a legit payment received from a legit entity

DEVELOPING:
Singabhako Nxumalo, spokesperson for the Department of Correctional Services, tells @eNCA that five members from Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala's legal team engaged in consultations on August 21st.
Given the size of their delegation, they were provided with office space to facilitate their work. Their arrival was noted at 12:05 PM and their departure at 14:20 PM.
On August 22nd, two members of Matlala's legal team consulted with him and left with some files.
On August 23rd, three members of his legal team consulted with him and were offered space AGAIN!
Nxumalo expressed concern, stating it was unfortunate to hear the story presented by Matlala's legal team at the commission, claiming they experienced challenges.
" I don't know then what else was expected of us if for three consecutive days we offered an office space to do the consultation." - Nxumalo

El-Sayed: You don't want to talk about gas prices. You don't want to talk about groceries….You want to bring up all this culture war
Watters: Do you think men should play in women’s sports?
El-Sayed: I'm running for U.S. Senate. It's insane. I'm out here trying to take on the health care crisis and big pharma, and you're asking me about who gets to play what sports
