Exclusive @dailymaverick video investigation live now! #IDT CEO Tebogo Malaka and spokesperson Phasha Makgolane brought R60k to a meeting with me, offered the cash to bury my investigation into an IDT contract. We were ready and got it all on video. Visit Daily Maverick's site

This woman’s husband did #EPWP jobs with mogul @collenmashawane’s foundation. It failed to pay workers, ‘forged’ their signatures, and pocketed millions from the #IDT. The family no longer has cash for gas so she cooks outside. @dailymaverick IDT series (photo Felix Dlangamandla)

It is OUTRAGEOUS that an ethical auditor like Mpho Mafole was hunted down and murdered for doing his job and flagging irregularities in a R1,8 billion tender. And it is INFURIATING that the cowards who ordered his killing haven’t been brought to justice yet.

The @PLMyburglh account does not belong to me. I will inform the platform about the duplication so that they can remove the impostor account.

Hi all. Be careful, @PLMyburglh is a fake account that masquerades as @PLMyburgh. He follows you and start sending DM's in appreciation of your support. Hoping to win your trust and most probably to fish out personal information about Pieter. Be careful what you share.

What a huge honour to meet Chief Justice Raymond Zondo and to pick up the 2025 SA Whistleblowers Award for the individual Investigative Journalism category. This was for @dailymaverick’s IDT/Tebogo Malaka video “sting” project. Thanks @propublicaSA for an amazing event!
