Visit of SANDF chief Gen Maphwanya to Iran would have been approved by Minister. Like Lady R it’s our actions that show SA true foreign policy orientation. Self-defeating defiance. Now try and get a better trade deal from US.

What a disgrace. I took our domestic worker to #HelenJoseph hospital “Breast Clinic” this morning, to have a scan (sonar or x-Ray) on orders from her doctor. @GautengHealth They took her R95 and then proceeded to tell her the “machine is broken”. Two other ladies there said this…

Rapport het ’n uithaler-paneel van 46 letterkundiges, skrywers en ander gesaghebbende boekwurms gevra om vir ons ’n lys saam te stel van die 100 beste Afrikaanse boeke van die afgelope 100 jaar. Sondag 12 Julie maak ons die eerste tien boeke op dié lys bekend.

@goolammv Or CR could behave less like an imperial president, and more like a first among equals in a coalition government. This could allow him to claim a mandate for pro-growth reforms, instead of doubling down on an agenda that has delivered dwindling per capita GDP.

All this debate around who influenced the VAT decision is hilarious. I mean it’s perfectly clear: Gondwana filed an affidavit 100% defending the VAT increase in every sense. He then asked to settle, after he was torn to shreds in court. I mean it’s not rocket science.

Nearly 60% of the starting vehicles in this year's Dakar Rally are built in South Africa. This country has so much skill, talent, and potential. If only we had some sanity in leadership. Unions, marxists, and all that ilk keep us from rising to greatness, creating jobs, thriving

I don't like to criticise SA journalists cause I was one. But News24 outing where a soldier's family lives is unethical. Israelis are conscripted into the army. If the SA guy has dual citizenship, he has to fight. Outing his family home is a security risk. It's not journalism

Die ma van ‘n jong meisie wat glo vier jaar gelede deur die verdagte in die Deveney Nel-moordsaak verkrag is, sê die staat het sy plig versuim. Sy vertel in ‘n hartroerende onderhoud hoe haar dogter altyd wou verhinder dat dieselfde lot iemand anders tref.

You account for more than 80% of the population, you control all economic policy institutions for 30 years, you’ve had BEE since 1990s, you live in a democracy, yet, you are still left behind. Almost zero companies founded by you at the JSE. What a disastrous failure!

‘The Super Cadres: ANC misrule in an age of deployment’ will be published by @JonathanBallPub on Monday, 2 September 2024. It shows how the ANC created a class of untouchables, and how it fused with the state — from Mandela to Ramaphosa. Pre-orders here: linktr.ee/supercadres
