Thanks to @roblaing's post I came across the awesome and (for me at least) new #SouthAfrica|n #newsmedia site #CurrencyNews (which unlike the name suggests is no exchange rate website...)
The reporting about the #JohannesburgArtGallery alone are worth a subscription in my opinion (EDIT: Even though all articles I have seen so far are not behind a paywall and I hope it stays that way, like on #DailyMaverick):

Oooooooh it seems like the folks over at the #DailyMaverick have fixed RSS access for the #MastoFeed @dailymaverick_unofficial bot again.
I hope this lasts and actually is the reason and not just @mastofeed changing their host IP address or so...

Just noticed that the @dailymaverick_unofficial #DailyMaverick feed bot is no longer working since a few weeks ago because the Daily Maverick website returns 403 (forbidden) to the bot now.
I think this is unfortunate and so I sent them a bug request via https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/bugspray/ asking if this is on purpose, also suggesting to them that they could of course also get an official Mastodon account.
If there is somebody out there who agrees with me, maybe you also want to send them a message... 🙂

「If you go to the Daily Maverick pages today, you will see that we have shut down for 24 hours.
We have never shut down before in the nearly 15 years we’ve been around.
This was not an easy decision, but we felt compelled to highlight the global crisis journalism faces and what that means for our democracy and our economy.
Newsrooms across the world and South Africa are retrenching staff and closing down.
The impact is devastating. Just look around.
Our cities are failing in lockstep with the demise of local journalism, with no accountability measures interrogating a broken system. With that, our economy can’t grow, businesses struggle to create new jobs, and the tax base shrinks, creating a larger burden per person.
As we are a national news site, there is a misconception that we are in every corner of South Africa.
We are not.
Our inboxes are full every day with tip-offs from whistleblowers and requests to help when water, electricity or basic services have not been provided.There are simply not enough journalists to counter the volume of corruption, mismanaged funds and ineptitude that we know is happening in municipalities and institutions throughout the country.
If we could hire more, we could change this. There is more than enough work to triple the number of journalists we currently have.
Advertising revenue, grant funding, and philanthropic support are drying up. Your contributions have kept Daily Maverick alive.
After five years of Maverick Insider, only 27,960 amazing human beings have chosen to support us and keep our work free for all to access. This is just a small percentage of the site’s visitors, averaging around 10 million per month.Sadly, it’s not enough to do the required job in a country ravaged by corruption.
We need to do much more for South Africa, like creating a dedicated team of journalists to cover our broken education system and establishing teams of local journalists to cover our eight biggest cities with a daily report. Local news has been destroyed by economic disruption and compromised newsrooms.
So we had to do something drastic — something to show what it would feel like if journalism were silenced due to a failing market.
Today, there will be no reporting.
There will be no investigations.
There will be no updates.
There will be no accountability.
This crisis is bigger than us — it’s bigger than one newsroom and any story. That’s why we need to make such a bold statement.」 -

Intelligence reports obtained by Daily Maverick link two senior members of President Cyril #Ramaphosa’s Cabinet to four criminal cartels operating inside #Eskom. Although we cannot yet reveal the name of the Cabinet ministers for legal reasons, we can divulge that the intelligence links the cartels to the sabotage of Eskom’s power stations and to a programme of political destabilisation.
