The World is sleeping on the renewal of the dangerous precedent being set by the current #Trump engineered demonization of electoral outcomes.
Rightly or wrongly the #UnitedStates has characterized itself as the beacon of global democracy & now what they've seen afar is upon them
#Trump has had an easy life of privilege without due regard for consequence. He is a show man who relishes the limelight but beyond that is an egotistical power hungry maniac who will not hesitate to leave a trail of destruction behind him.
And this is where the contradiction lie
The #US has not tolerated #Trump like leaders anywhere else in the World yet somehow with #Trump they are walking lightly seemingly enjoying the "show" not realizing that it's eating away at their democracy, integrity & credibility.
And for World Leaders it's just all smiles.

The #SABC matter is very complicated; there are no easy fixes whichever way its looked at.
Only 3% of the SABC revenue comes from Government.
The wage bill is 43% of total expenditure.
Part of the 8 conditions for the R3.2bn bailout speak to restructuring & cost cutting measures.
The accumulation, over years, of bad corporate governance, corruption, fraud & maladministration is precisely why the #SABC is in this current impasse.
#NationalTreasury intervention is needed because whichever way things go, money is required.
Challenge is its availability?
The public mandate of the #SABC remains largely unfunded. The success prospects of the competing commercial ventures at the SABC are weighed down by financial constraints.
The corporation is not just about news; the variables and components are vast.
