One might ask, however... Why the rush?
Strangely, Dasnois' removal from office just happened to coincide with the newspaper publishing a front-page article on Public Protector Thuli Madonsela's very unflattering findings on fisheries minister Joemat-Pettersson's performance - which, if the PP's verdict is valid, has been thoroughly underwhelming.
According to Mail & Guardian, "a source within the newspaper, who spoke to the Mail & Guardian on condition of anonymity [that seems to be a very wise move in the circumstances], said: 'It is directly in response to the story. Whether it is a long-term plan or not, we don't know. What sparked this was Friday's paper.'''
So it seems that perhaps not even they're buying it.
And adding grist to the mill...
It's reported that though he had actually resigned last month, things must have moved very quickly indeed on Friday since he's reported to have sent an email to management basically along the lines of "I don't know what you're going to do without me, but starting Monday, give it a go".
Nice... Usually employees work out their notice period, unless by mutual agreement with their employer they can leave earlier.
The truth always has a way of getting out... Be it Travelgate, Guptagate, Nkandlagate, and any other "gate' you wish to think of, so eventually we will know for certain whether what we have been told here is the truth, or whether the real truth is actually something very different; either way, we'll get a good handle on how much trust we can put in the word of some people.
