"description": "Daily Maverick is an independent online news publication and weekly print newspaper in South Africa.\r\n\r\nIt is known for breaking some of the defining stories of South Africa in the past decade, including the Marikana Massacre, in which the South African Police Service killed 34 miners in August 2012.\r\n\r\nIt also investigated the Gupta Leaks, which won the 2019 Global Shining Light Award.\r\n\r\nThat investigation was credited with exposing the Indian-born Gupta family and former President Jacob Zuma for their role in the systemic political corruption referred to as state capture.\r\n\r\nIn 2018, co-founder and editor-in-chief Branislav ‘Branko’ Brkic was awarded the country’s prestigious Nat Nakasa Award, recognised for initiating the investigative collaboration after receiving the hard drive that included the email tranche.\r\n\r\nIn 2021, co-founder and CEO Styli Charalambous also received the award.\r\n\r\nDaily Maverick covers the latest political and news developments in South Africa with breaking news updates, analysis, opinions and more.",

The social democrat in the pigeon loft, Bernie Sanders' reponse has been to dismiss Bloomberg as \"another billionaire\" in the race. Regardless, having a coherent billionaire with a decent haircut may well siphon much-needed Democrat votes away from Sanders.<br /><br /><strong>ISIL has published a video reportedly showing the identities of the November Paris attackers. </strong>In addition to their faces, their <a href=\"https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2016-01-25-56a58e37ee21a\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2016-01-25-56a58e37ee21a\">last statements prior to the terror attacks</a> were released.

According to Reuters, this would include the sale of NAND flash memory operations, among other divisions. Regardless, Toshiba should likely be thankful it is still in business following such massive scandals.<br /><br /><strong>The Denver Broncos have dug deep to defeat the New England Patriots in the US NFL. </strong>The 20-18 loss, attributed by Patriots' coach <a href=\"https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2016-01-25-nfl-little-mistake-ends-patriots-super-bowl-defence\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2016-01-25-nfl-little-mistake-ends-patriots-super-bowl-defence\">Bill Belichick to \"small mistakes\"</a>, has allowed Payton Manning's Bronco's entry into Super Bowl 50. A missed extra-point kick by Stephen Gostkowski, his first such error in 10 years, sent shockwaves through the team and added to a list of errors in a game that allowed few, if any, to pass unpunished.<br /></span><br />\r\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"4\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\" cke_show_border\" style=\"border: 1px dotted #d3d3d3;\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td bgcolor=\"#00acd4\" colspan=\"2\" width=\"100%\" style=\"border: 1px dotted #d3d3d3;
