I walked into the EWN newsroom as a 20 year old three years ago, and Tshidi immediately took me under her wing. She trained me, mentored me and mothered me.
She was much more than a manager. From career guidance to life advice, we spoke about everything.
I’m shattered, Tshidi.
Tshidi Madia. Always knew the play before it was played. She will be sorely missed by everyone at Primedia. She was literally the companies pillar. Politically and socially. Nje man. She was just a team player. Her wins were our wins and boy did she win.
A proper commander of the Newsroom.
Rest ntombi. Rest
My thoughts are with the family, friends and colleagues of journalist, political commentator, radio host and moderator Tshidi Madia who has passed away in the prime of her life.
Tshidi loved our country and this was the backdrop to her tough questions and her hopeful vision of a South Africa that can and should be better.
We shall continue to work for Tshidi’s South Africa with her now silent pen and voice in our memories and hearts.
Her passing during Women’s Month reminds us of her stature as a remarkable citizen and thought leader presented to the nation as an outstanding woman.
May her soul rest in peace.
Anything that threatens the sovereignty of Africans MUST be eliminated. We have been saying this for years. And our people should recognize the unity that is now required.
This is a different time.

In fact, the nicer you are, the more they hate you.
JOURNALISM 101 RULE: If someone says it’s raining, and another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out of the fucking window and find out which is true. — Now more than ever.
Nothing bores me more than people who are articulate about problems but inarticulate and unimaginative about solutions. Being detailed about the problem but abstract about the solution produces a performance art I'm no longer interested in.
You only need to know 3 things to understand finance.
I could have saved myself:
• Accounting degree
• Master's in accounting
• 10 years working at KPMG
• 10+ years as a VP of Finance / CFO
If I just learned to read these 3 financial statements:
