BREAKING : President @CyrilRamaphosa has accepted advocate Andrea Johnson’s request to resign with immediate effect as the head of IDAC. It’s unclear whether Johnson will continue appearing at the #MadlangaCommission today but nothing precludes her from doing so as she would be now testifying as former IDAC head. She is also still under subpoena.
Hawu, what happened all of a sudden, @PieterDuToit?
This is quite the Damascene conversion after so steadfastly defending the indefensible and dismissing legitimate public concerns.
You and some of your colleagues at @News24 ridiculed, maligned and misrepresented those of us who held a different view.
At least Andrea Johnson had the courage to publicly apologise to Brig Dineo Mokwele.
We harbour no expectation that you or your like-minded colleagues will do the honourable thing and extend the same courtesy to those whose reputations and views you so readily disparaged.
South Africans have seen exactly where you stand. In the end, history is seldom kind to those who practise selective accountability while claiming the mantle of objective journalism.
IDAC head Andrea Johnson has apologised and withdrawn her earlier assertion that Brigadier Dineo Mokwele’s appointment to Crime Intelligence was a token appointment.
Johnson conceded before the Madlanga Commission that she had not seen Mokwele’s qualifications, her job application, and was unaware that Mokwele is studying towards an MBA.
She acknowledged that her opinion was based solely on information provided by her investigative team, which she now accepts was incorrect.
The concession comes after Commissioner Khumalo questioned the basis on which she had characterised Mokwele’s appointment despite not having considered the relevant documentation outlining her qualifications and experience.

This idea by @News24 that Andrea Johnson is being engaged in a hostile manner by Judge Madlanga ought to be rebuked and cast to the depths of hell, because she is not the hallmark of virtue nor truth. The dog whistles they are peddling are very vile

People understand that it is her mother who stole someone's identity, not her. You're applying a blanket approach to the Chidimma case. According to papers in court:
07 Aug 2024, Home Affairs announces that her birth reg was done by means of ID theft. The ID belonged to Sara Moyo. Further investigation confirms that her birth registration contravened the Births reg act
Following the discovery of her illegal status, she left SA to take up her Nigerian citizenship.
The department reaches out to her, even via WhatsApp, about its intention to nullify the SA documents (fraudulent docs). She failed to make a representation (window to regularise)
She was placed on the Visa-restricted list.
While she was out of the country, her mother gets arrested. Chidimma's child is then taken by social workers.
Surprisingly, she entered the country (she has an SA passport) on 09 June, and she was arrested. The court makes an error and postpones her case.
'Enzo Fernández became only the sixth player to be sent off in a World Cup final (and the third Argentine) and truly, nobody deserved it more.
'This is the man who, in 2024, was mired in a racism controversy when he broadcast a video on Instagram Live showing himself and Argentina team-mates singing a discriminatory chant about France’s players, mocking their African heritage and throwing in a few homophobic slurs.
'The Chelsea co-captain further endeared himself to his adopted land before the final, insisting that he had respect for the English “because everybody who cleans and cooks in our house is English”.'
But in a profoundly chastening final for Argentina, where they were not so much outplayed as emasculated, @oliverbrown_tel says he received his comeuppance at last 👇
