In today's news headlines:
* The new coronavirus marked another grim milestone with the number of people infected with Covid-19 reaching 2 million worldwide, and just over 2,500 in SA;
* Another seven deaths have been reported, mostly in KwaZulu-Natal where a second Netcare facility has been shut following a Covid-19 outbreak;
* SAA looks like it will be grounded forever, with politicians noting that the Covid-19 pandemic has added financial strain. But Forensics for Justice founder Paul O'Sullivan reminds us that the real reason for the crooked mess at SAA is ANC corruption. He goes as far as suggesting that Minister of Public Finances Pravin Gordhan should face the music for state capture along with former President Jacob Zuma and others;
* Petrol prices are plunging, which is a small bonus if you have to use your car to get out and about for essential items; and
* MTN bosses have clubbed together to help staff members in trouble, sharing about one-third of their salaries. This follows moves by FirstRand and Absa bosses to bolster President Cyril Ramaphosa's funds to fight Covid-19. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
