But there are always two sides to every story, and for freedom of speech to be effective, media discourse cannot be reduced to a one-sided debate. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">In a world where public opinion can make or break a brand, denying companies the right to reply is akin to making all journalists, no matter their backgrounds or motives, judge, jury, and executioner. Sadly, however, it is human nature to automatically assume that anyone accused of unethical or criminal conduct must be guilty. And in the media\u2019s case, there is often no such thing as innocent until proven guilty.<\/span><\/p><p id=\"viewer-fmao8\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">This leads to a general unwillingness to share challenging views for fear of association. Alternatively, if responses are featured, they are reduced to punchlines or footnotes, portrayed with sinister undertones, or subjected to sly insinuations. <\/span><\/p><p id=\"viewer-3f0b6\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">So, what are companies or individuals to do when they become the subject of a series of media attacks? How can companies hare the other side of their operations, their good news and the positive work that they are doing? In the current media landscape, there is little to be done except to take out paid advertisements in order to challenge media\u2019s narrative. Unfortunately, even these are deliberately construed as part of a larger conspiracy.<\/span><\/p><p id=\"viewer-du6jo\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">Accordingly, the Moti Group\u2019s recent PR efforts involving a series of paid articles and adverts have recently been criticised as somehow criminal, illegal or unethical. <\/span><\/p><p id=\"viewer-7t88n\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">First, to be clear, I have left the Moti Group. Dondo Mogajane, a man that is highly respected by all who know him, and is renowned for his integrity and financial acumen as the former Director-General of National Treasury, is the new Chief Executive Officer of the group. Far from being part of a sudden and sinister ploy, he joined the group in June last year as part of the Moti Group\u2019s succession strategy, knowing that I would be stepping away to pursue my own interests. <\/span><\/p><p id=\"viewer-8hq04\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">Second, now that Dondo has been at the helm of the organisation for a year and has familiarised himself further with the Moti Group\u2019s various interests, reshaped its organisational structure and strengthened its corporate governance, he was ready to begin the process of addressing the group\u2019s reputation. This meant sharing the news of his appointment as CEO, his vision for the group, and exciting projects in the pipeline with the public \u2013 all of which are based on fact. <\/span><\/p><p id=\"viewer-7gahu\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">As a result, the Moti Group did take out a series of paid advertorials in various publications. The premise of all articles was indeed that the Moti Group is now being led by former Treasury director-general Dondo Mogajane as CEO and Mikaeel Moti as executive director. Again, this is not a secret. It is a fact. <\/span><\/p><p id=\"viewer-cs9d1\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">I am proud of what I achieved at the Moti Group, the thousands of jobs that I have helped to create, and the billions in investments that our business made in supporting South Africa and Zimbabwe\u2019s economy. But I am not the Moti Group. My own businesses and the Moti Group are now on separate paths, and it has its own future to look forward to. <\/span><\/p><p id=\"viewer-ckhna\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">So, to emphasise again, there are always two sides to every story, and companies must be allowed the opportunity to share their own perceptions and good news. Without this, media discourse is not discourse. It is a dictatorship.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0adf223 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"0adf223\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;vlt_animated_widget_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.15.0 - 20-08-2023 *\/\n.elementor-column .elementor-spacer-inner{height:var(--spacer-size)}.e-con{--container-widget-width:100%}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer{width:var(--container-widget-width,var(--spacer-size));--align-self:var(--container-widget-align-self,initial);--flex-shrink:0}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container,.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer{height:100%}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer>.elementor-spacer-inner,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer>.elementor-spacer-inner{height:var(--container-widget-height,var(--spacer-size))}<\/style>\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d357cb4 w-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-vlt-simple-image\" data-id=\"d357cb4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;vlt_animated_widget_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"vlt-simple-image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"vlt-simple-image\">\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"vlt-simple-image__mask\"><div class=\"inside\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d579f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"6d579f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;vlt_animated_widget_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"vlt-animate-element elementor-element elementor-element-41b6f5f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-animation-name=\"fadeInUpSm\" style=\"\" data-id=\"41b6f5f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;vlt_animated_widget_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUpSm&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.15.0 - 20-08-2023 *\/\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Methods for Everyone.<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d8e13be elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"d8e13be\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;vlt_animated_widget_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"vlt-animate-element elementor-element elementor-element-d88a7e8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-animation-name=\"fadeInUpSm\" style=\" --animate-delay: 100ms;\" data-id=\"d88a7e8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;vlt_animated_widget_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUpSm&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This response is important for our ability to learn from mistakes, but it alsogives rise to self-criticism, because it is part of the threat-protection system.
