Len I have no doubt that if the article has been altered - I don't go back and reread articles - it was due to pressures exerted from those who have looked bad because of it. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, lets see who gets the contract and resume this debate.
The inner circle - very clearly all those that benefit from racing because of their contacts with the powers that be. Its not hard to follow the dots as Pravin Gordhan famously said.

Hi guys,
I'm not one to stand in the way of debate and free speech, but I would just like to correct one small factual error.
The article / title referred to by OTA was not penned by myself (I'm saying this not to 'shift blame', but rather so that I don't take credit for someone else's work).
I know it can get a little confusing trying to work out who writes what on the SP, but other than the profiles which are occasionally shared among the team and therefore go under the general label) you can usually identify my work by the fact that it has my name on the bottom.
Right - as you were

I get it you want to protect the inner circle.

Reading an article on sp website it beggars belief and very sad that those magnificent trees could be taken down ,its an absolute crime against the ecosystem Apart from their beauty their benefits to wildlife especially birds cannot be overstated

Mike are you saying that something underhanded happened to get the contract.. why don't you open a transport company and tender for the contracts and see that price and delivery, are the overriding factors. You putting the whole tender process committee under the limelight because of your constant attack on the system you so clearly despise.. You know who got the contract because you have received inside info once again so I am sure you are well aware who was on the committee.

Len if you believe that I have to answer this you clearly have no idea of what good corporate governance is.
Following the dots tells a very clear story.

Maybe he should stand up for himself instead of your voice .
At least after the Shaheen Shaw article I know I am not alone. I believe I have more people that agree with me than disagree with me.
