Shot down in from of her children! It also explains why public health services are so very very poor. All the funds are stolen by crooked politicians.


I think we can now all better understand why Panyasi Lesufi, egged on by his real boss, Paul Mashatile, are fighting tooth and nail to keep the DA out. It has been the DA's, Jack Bloom who has been the main political campaigner forcing an enquiry.


A fight going on in Gauteng as to who get what levers of power. Emerging out of the wreck that was Tembisa Hospital, are details of fraud, over R1 billion, for which those wishing to keep a lid on the filthy secrets, had Deokaran, gunned down in cold blood outside her house.


This is very similar to the view from my deck .....

Indeed .... why not??


So much we all can take in life, and life goals from this Federer, "effortless", speech...

Roger Federer’s Commencement Address at Dartmouth yesterday might be the best speech he’s ever given. Amazingly articulate, funny, full of wisdom. Made me laugh and tear up. I’m so very proud to have had him as my idol for the past two decades. If you have 25 minutes to spare…

A rate far lower than the combined increase in the birth rate and worsened by the rampant, out of control illegal immigration flows from other, even more unstable regions of Africa to our north, exacerbated by the total decimation of our armed forces, which made us defenceless.

Lies and secrets ... sounds just like Trump. Everyone agrees that Trump is an inveterate liar, a fraudster, unfit to run any public company, and will lie, cheat, defraud, in fact do anything, to avoid liability and consequences of his actions, Putinesque in fact!

Perfect response. Everyone else take notes.

Let her cook! Her name is @AyandaAllie



thetimes.co.uk/article/a-dirt… What an extraordinary woman; since school days I had known her as little Annie Besant who led the Bryant & May match-girl strike ... but she was so very much more.. what a courageous lady!


thetimes.co.uk/article/human-… The kind of intelligent article, on a very important subject, that makes the Times the leading global newspaper.


We certainly all wish her well, but we have seen no evidence to back up the ringing endorsement from Ms Madonsela, but we look forward to seeing evidence of such ourselves. Talking truth to power, even at the risk of personal cost, is an essential component of this portfolio.
