Did you know that @amaBhungane , the investigative journalists that painstakingly worked on the #VredeDairy story that led to Guptas arrests today depend on public donations? Please support them at amambhungane.co.za .

BREAKING: #Eskom has charged #MatshelaKoko with failing to declare “trips to Dubai paid for by...an associate of the Gupta family”.
Also: he’s charged with sending “confidential Eskom documents to...persons associated with the Gupta family”.

We are going to have a discussion with President #Zuma on what is in the best interests of the ANC & the country #ANCPilgrimage

I have since this evening received a confirmation of my suspension from Eskom. I have been served with new charges. I welcome these developments and once again look forward to clearing my name in a tribunal.

There is phoney solidarity with ANN7 by some journalists as if that trash channel was in the business of journalism.
A criminal enterprise built from the proceeds of crime has no place in society.

Dear @CyrilRamaphosa please be aware that Jacob Zuma will not go down without a messy fight. 🇿🇦 hopes you are prepared for what is likely to come down! Mbeki made it easy for Jacob, Zuma is certainly not going to make it easy for you. Good luck getting rid of him!

For every Koko there's a Vanara
For every Singh, a Gordhan
For every Zuma, a Zondo
For every McKinsey, a Suzanne Daniels
Our countervailing forces are strong and resilient and brave
🇿🇦🙏🏾👊🏽

Key point in Disaster Management meeting: If everyone using water in greater Cape Town, Drakenstein and Stellenbosch sticks to upper limit of 50 litres per person per day, the dams will reach a low of 15%. Day Zero is 13,5%. We can still prevent it by the skin of our teeth.

The ANC says it doesn’t want to “humiliate” #Zuma through a recall. How can you “humiliate” someone who has already slept with his friends’ daughters, violated his oath of office, facilitated the sale of our sovereignty and turned a blind eye to the theft of billions?

Let’s not forget Gigaba’s culpability. In 2010, when he was Public Enterprises Minister, he gutted Eskom’s Board (which included 3 respected international utility CEOs) & replaced them with nobodies. And when he met with management it was all about tenders fin24.com/Economy/Eskom/esko…

An effective & comprehensive #StateCapture probe coupled with asset seizures & high-profile arrests can reverse negative #SouthAfrica sentiment but also change internal power structures in the #ANC by fleshing out the corrupt.
