The Daily Maverick is becoming the most valuable source of fine journalism in this country. There is nothing that comes close to it. By the way they are looking for financial support, if you are so inclined you can read more about this here. Back to the Maverick. Dirk de Vos wrote a fantastic article […]
They say that without hearsay no rumour is worth spreading. I was informed by a source that was informed by another source – the latter being directly involved in the process, that the comments on minister davies amendments have been and will be evaluated by a team that includes the BBC. Not your famous public

Or something along those lines. I love how so many of our politicians including Mmusi are pastors. Even Manyi preaches his brand of racism at some church somewhere. But that's not the point of this post. Rob Davies really pushed the boat out when he tried to justify his little paragraph about limiting the shape

Transcend sent out an email today saying (and no I'm not putting up a hyperlink to this –they are my competition) It is rumoured that the Revised BBBEE Codes will be gazetted as soon as July 2013, yes that's right, next month. Now the Dti could always delay this and only release them toward the

BDLive carried this story this morning (and no I haven't subscribed and won't do so until they change their viewing rates). The Black Business Council (BBC) has long been upset with the PPPFA. With such ZumaLuminaries like Zungrabber on their board they are able to namedrop very effectively and force a meeting with Treasury to
A letter to the Business Times this weekend was quite enlightening. Written by Zanele Gasa who is a Prasa board member.
