Yeah, Schreiber for me is heads and shoulders above all the DA ministers. He already has quite a few actual achievements to his name - not an easy thing to do with the bureaucracy, who love to be set in their ways and completely resistant to change.

Oddly enough, I'd almost be thinking that a good chunk of HA staff welcome the changes that make their lives better and easier.

Yes senior management will be resistant to things that challenge their little kingdoms though.

Sad day for healthcare as Actonville's Sunshine Hospital goes under the hammer on July 15 | Benoni City Times

Despite holding on to hope, the burden eventually became unmanageable for the owner of the hospital, Ken Ford.

However, the High Court in Pretoria ruled on May 22 that the fund and its head of corporate communications, MacIntosh Pholela, defamed Sunshine Hospital.

This followed Pholela’s comments during a televised interview with news channel eNCA in March last year in which he alleged the hospital was part of a ‘corrupt scheme’ involving unlawful patient transfers and ‘over-servicing and overcharging’.

Ah yes..

South African Police Service spokesperson Brigadier Phuti Setati said Polela, a former colonel, was dismissed following the outcome of a disciplinary process.


"Based on the seriousness of his misconduct, he was dismissed on March 27, in accordance with the SAPS discipline regulations."

Setati said Polela had appealed against the the sanction but lost.

"The confirmation of the sanction by the internal appeals authority of the SAPS was delivered to Polela’s attorneys on May 16 and receipt thereof was acknowledged," Setati said.

Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa reportedly said in a written response to a question from the Democratic Alliance in Parliament this week: "The officer was dismissed on March 27 2013, and the internal appeals authority confirmed the same,"

"The officer was paid R323 238.41 during the period he was on suspension," Mthethwa said, according to the Star's report on Thursday.

Polela declined to comment to the Star but responded to a question on Twitter, saying, "I'm a tenderpreneur."

He was suspended in November 2012, three weeks after he tweeted a range of controversial comments in October. One of them was: "I trust Jub Jub's supporters gave him a jar of vaseline to take to prison."

He doesn't give a shyte about the actual corruption, just that he had to cut short his holiday so he can kick the can down the road.. and had to fly back with the dirty unwashed masses.

Especially when its in Rio...

Though I'm not sure what the golf courses are like in that part of the world, but at least Squirrel can partake in his daily promenade run, but he won't get any cougars trying to catch photos with him.

Stupid question. You don't need to be an analyst to realist this would have been buried deeper than a MFer if he brought it up internally. Mkhwanazi should probably have said why he chose to go so public. Not sure he did haven't seen it all i read.
