"All network providers or licensees have to belong to this network, to the WOAN. If you don't belong, you will not be allocated any spectrum."

"They also have to gradually release their spectrum into the central pot of spectrum that this WOAN will have. So, all the existing stuff will go."

"MTN and Vodacom will obviously then resist and die because they can't get hold of any of this spectrum."

"make their physical infrastructure available to everybody and they have to make their costing available."

"we have to make sure that there is that common highway. And the reason why it's important to work together on that common highway is that it's very, very expensive just for one company to do it alone, and this is why you have a situation, for example what we have now, where you have subsidy, and in South Africa it was only Telkom that invested in it, it becomes expensive."

"what you are doing is everybody invests a little bit and everybody benefits from that collective investment, and the different companies are then able to compete using that same infrastructure that everyone else has kind of contributed to."

"We differ on some things, we agree on other things, but we are always discussing. I knew that my family would understand and accept why I did that because our family is a truly democratic family.”"

"We're pleading with owners of establishments that people go to in order to have a 'good time'... to enforce these regulations, because if we don't take them seriously, it could mean that in a few months' time, we could return to Lockdown Level 5. Then, we will not be able to go out because our infections will be growing."

"So, we really do not want this second wave of COVID-19 to come back, because we don't really know how strong it is. Stopping the second wave really is in our hands. We can make a huge difference by conducting ourselves properly, in a way that prevents the spread of the virus.""

"I refused to be handpicked because that would have meant I’m not independent but controlled by him about how I’m leading. It’s a trap that both Lindiwe Mazibuko and Mmusi Maimane fell for and there were consequences when they did not take instructions from the person who hand picked them"

"he United Nations reports that on average, one in three women globally have experienced physical or sexual violence in their lifetime, usually from an intimate partner. Statistics in South Africa also paint a grim picture as women and children are at risk for being victims"

"Terrorism continues to challenge the international community and no country can regard itself as immune from this threat as recent events both on our continent and further afield have shown."

"I don’t know who they were involved with. The only way to get to know where Gundo has invested will be through a section 52 report, which comes every three months to update the council about the status of its investments, if there are any. That’s how I could’ve known about their investments. In terms of the names of the people, I don’t know and I’ve never met them."

"It is difficult for a person who looks like me to get a loan in the South African economy. It’s difficult to get a loan and start a business as an African child without any form of assistance. There are so many brilliant dreams and ideas that black young people have but there’s no financing for them."

"I’m not sure if I would have done things differently. I should have looked into them and their registration but they were registered with the Financial Services Board, which I thought was sufficient to prove they are in the finance business. Like any other [due] diligence in getting a loan, I should’ve thought better than I did.”"

"Two out of three ain’t bad South Africans are continuously singing the same tune to the DA, to borrow from the artist Meatloaf “I want you, I need you, but there ain’t no way I’m ever gonna love you”. But unlike South Africans Meatloaf goes on to say, “but two out of three ain’t bad”"

"The burning of assets at UCT is not solely about the vandalism of property, but rather the depreciation of the sum total of parts that make an education valuable.

"The functions of the NWRIA will include the financing, development, operations and maintenance of the national water resource infrastructure and the treaty and non-treaty functions performed by the TCTA. Processes are now underway to manage the establishment of the agency"

"What we (South Africa) brought boldly to the fore is the need for water to be a priority on every panel. We learned a lot, but they also learned a lot from from us. We were not here just to absorb, but also to share"

"The only shortcoming I observed is that I was the only Minister of Water who is a woman. There is a lack of gender representation in this sector to the extent that there was no dedicated section dealing with the struggles that confront women"
