End of the line: Gauteng health ordered to disclose files related to R2.3bn Tembisa scandal The Information Regulator has issued an ultimatum to the Gauteng Health Department to release records tied to the R2.3b Tembisa graft scandal, sought by News24. Officials who defy the order face criminal prosecution. Remember Babita Deokaran.

"The murder rate would appear to be plummeting more than it ever has in South African history. And yet those in charge are too entangled in the politics of police reform to tell us what they actually think is happening." Jonny Steinberg: news24.com/opinions/columnis… via @news24

"But the government has a credibility problem. Ramaphosa’s address made little impact on popular perceptions because nobody believes anymore that anything it says will be done." Carol Paton | Who will defuse the 30 June time bomb? news24.com/opinions/columnis… via @news24

Organised crime threatens the very fabric of our democracy. The SAPS is a part of that. I don't know what the Political solution is. But I do know we cannot continue as we are.
Interesting talk yesterday at @franschhoeklit involving @wicks_jeff and @CowansView on crime in SA. The scale of crime is of course staggering. When asked what should be done, Cowan suggested the police need to be purged root and branch, which is a view with much merit. But I sat there and thought, well, unless and until the ANC is gone, whatever it is there must be done, can’t and won’t be done. Replacing the ANC is, in the end, the only path to improvement for SA, in this and in every other respect. It’s a necessary condition.

South Africa’s arms defence industry wasn’t only an African leader, it produced world class technology. Then state capture came. And the Guptas. What’s left is a shell of what it used to be. Tomorrow on News24.
