I have made the difficult decision to resign from @DailyMaverick in December in order to pursue an opportunity to do much the same - chase crooks & make it just a little more difficult to do illicit business in South Africa - in the corporate sector. Today was my last day. 🥂🇿🇦✨

A scam with AI generated images abusing my name and @News24’s platform for legitimacy.
Don’t fall for it.

@coolkat_1 Thanks for alerting me to this. It is a scam using my name and N24’s platform for legitimacy. It is the second of its nature. I’m alerting the N24 editor.

Chilling story: Special forces killed the detective who was investigating the murder of a rogue ISIS intelligence asset which the BBC suggests was done at the behest of the US government. Increasingly looks like the military is a law unto itself. That’s very dangerous.

Daily Maverick refuses to erect a paywall because a country this unequal cannot afford an information class system. Journalism behind a paywall is not a public good by definition, even though it may still generate societal value once others pick it up and extend it on to other platforms. We need a system that makes it more viable to make more journalism freely accessible to the public, and books more accessible to readers.

@justicemalala @Kirby_Gordon Coincidentally, due to my own error I had to deal with Buhle this morning too.
I agree with Justice, she is efficient and helpful.

We know Madlanga is all-consuming, but we must also make time to follow Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula's trial, and the Khampepe Commission. They're so wild and so important
