Mmegi will continue to report without fear or favour

Consultative engagements have been held between staff, management and representatives of the Board. Rationalisation came as a last resort because the wage bill had become too cumbersome for the company to carry. Over the years, our revenue has been declining drastically. The objective of this rationalisation process is to stabilise and grow the company. Morally, it is not a nice thing to do. Retrenchment is a painful exercise. As part of the process, effective January 2018, midweek editions will be discontinued. Instead of the traditional hard news copy, Mmegi readers will get the news on-line.

It is still our vision at DPC to be the leader in breaking news and stimulating debate on issues of national interest. We will stick to our mission to help build an informed citizenry who can make informed decisions and choices. This requires unbiased and accurate reporting of facts, figures and occurrences.
