Now that'll be awesome... (havening wekkas tell you they'll be sick on such and such a date...)

Even more awesome if they'll catch Zooma fibbing (he's out and about instead of being sick)...
 
It is incredible that someone with such a nebulous connection to the truth as Jimmy Manyi should ever have been anywhere near government communications. Or maybe that was the whole idea:

Isn't spin doctoring for people with a nebulous connection to the truth? So he was perfect for the job as head of government spin doctor department.
 
I am somewhat baffled that Zondo didn't put Manyi in his place for this bollocks...

I have watched intermittently and I think J is trying too hard to be conciliatory. And scamsters like JZ and manyi are taking advantage of this. Is he perhaps afraid of public outrage from zuma supporters?

The department's spokesperson Chrispin Phiri said: “Once we have sorted out technical issues on our side, we hope that the UAE Parliament will ratify it on their side. We are working with all authorities to ensure the agreement is enforced.”

It looks like and is being treated as a suicide.
Not sure how they claim two cartridges and no weapon found though in the initial report.

STATE CAPTURE, UNINTERRUPTED: Hawks Colonel Mhlongo was accused at Zondo commission of serious crime. Seven months later, he is still in his KZN top job

Seven months have passed since a top cop in KwaZulu-Natal, Colonel Welcome Mhlongo, was implicated in serious corruption by two witnesses at the Zondo commission. Despite a promised investigation into his appointment, Mhlongo still occupies a crucial position.

STALLED: CORRUPTION BUSTS

Batohi: No convictions for State Capture accused in 2019 — prosecutions are likely in 2020

After 300 days in office, the National Director of Public Prosecutions Shamila Batohi is not close to getting a State Capture accused into orange overalls.


Focus on apartheid as a crime against humanity

But Batohi says it can’t all be State Capture cases. “(I understand) that corruption prosecutions build confidence. We understand the impact the NPA will make with a few focused prosecutions, but there is still murder, sexual crimes, cyber-crimes. Another important area for us is TRC (Truth and Reconciliation Commission) cases. We are working very closely with families who have lost loved ones. We are looking at how to utilise the legal framework to even charge (perpetrators with) apartheid as a crime against humanity.”

The wheels turn slowly

“People just want to see the wheels of justice are turning – but (the people) don’t see they have been really crusted with dust. Getting them to turn is extremely difficult,” said Batohi who said she regularly received emails asking when there would be justice. It was clear from the briefing that both women, who represent the new lady justices, are keenly aware of the calls for prosecutions from almost every corner in South Africa. But Batohi’s mantra of under-promising and over-delivering means she is playing her cards close to her chest – from Daily Maverick’s reading of things, it will take at least six months more to see prosecutorial action at a scale and intensity to build confidence.
 
While we're all appeased by the Zondo Commission, the theft and ineptitude continues.
