The only reason you know his name is because of ‘the media’. A fool, his lab coat and his plagiaristic hot takes.
The media has failed but here is fresh footage of Hangwani Maumela and his girlfriend. Hangwani Maumela is the man implicated in looting billions from Thembisa Hospital. He is the Hosh Kari Don who was a director of CAT VIP Vusi Matlala’s company. This is what he looks like.

This is what happens when an SOE is 'profitable' in SA. Unions demand an increase of more than 3 times current inflation! >>> #Eskom’s biggest union demands 15% increase ahead of wage talks #MoneywebNews

The demand is more than four times the rate of inflation.

I have little faith they will. Our MPs don't seem to be aware of what is happening in the country.
Today is a massive day in Parliament. MPs have a unique opportunity to question General Mkhwanazi at the Ad Hoc Committee, and help the public find the truth. Let’s hope they seize it.

Sure. How did this happen?
@RsaSequoia @AntonEberhard He is wrong - 200%. We don’t BS. We tell the truth. Spin is not our thing. Eskom is sitting with a cash or cash equivalent of R70 billion.
