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

Corporate South Africa socialised an entire generation into believing it was perfectly normal for a man to vanish from his family for 11 months of the year, buried in the mines and/or factories, only to reappear once during the festive season like a seasonal visitor.
Hostels in our townships were not just accommodation, they were the official infrastructure for this system: Warehouses for full-time workers and part-time fathers.
They deliberately engineered absent fathers and now we act shocked at the statistics.
Embracing fatherhood may never be easy for those who grew up without fathers. Many still think just providing money is the only role a father has to play.
May we become the generation that will change the narrative. 🇿🇦🙏🏾

"South Africa still doesn't have a coach. The candidate Pitso Mosimane, a successful South African coach.
"However, they know when he comes, they go five years back in time. Club owners and agents are calling coaches to influence the selection. I threw them all out.
"When someone called, I sadly flatly 'I don't talk with agents'."

The media sector in Africa has failed us. We keep seeing news about Ukraine and Gaza but the genocide happening in neighbouring countries like Sudan and Congo has been grossly underreported.
We need to do better in Africa.
It turns you into a people pleaser. You avoid conflict because you can’t afford to lose access, help, or opportunities.
It makes you overexplain. You feel the need to justify your existence, choices, or mistakes.
