Recently he was at the centre of two contentious issues: one involving the dismal organisation of an outreach event which involved arranging a parliamentary sitting in the Mangaung Metro (Bloemfontein) last month, which cost R14 million but was badly-attended; and the other his threat of revoking a reporter's accreditation because the reporter breached "protocol" by speaking to parliamentary staff who dissed the ANC's handling of the hot-potato Protection of Information Bill. ...Three sources, two in Parliament and a third with close links, have told Daily Maverick that Jacobs quit his job at the beginning of the month. Read the full story on www.dailymaverick.co.za.
