As poured at the Paul Sauer 2021 launch event. The still available Cab 2019 is not a big vintage, but oh, so intricate. PS 2003 simply sublime - has gained so much interest from time in bottle but far from done.

‘The Super Cadres: ANC misrule in an age of deployment’ will be published by Jonathan Ball Publishers 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

From Chapter 28 in ‘The Super Cadres’, Pravin Gordhan: “(Businessmen) were absolutely silent during the capture years and when all this damage was taking place. They didn’t mind working with Molefe, at Transnet or at Eskom, and they didn’t mind working with Koko and company…”

Talking about the Broederbond and cadre deployment, and the similarities between two strands of nationalism, Afrikaner and African — both destructive. With John Maytham. ⁦Jonathan Ball Publishers⁩ ⁦Eugene Ashton

This is launching next month in SA, what a book! This is well worth reading and will calibrate your understanding of what is a complex subject and a great danger to our modern world. ⁦Jonathan Ball Publishers

So. I hate social media, but bought a bloody expensive microwave from Hirsch’s - an LG Electronics SA, it packed up 18 month’s later. Engaged with the retailer which was futile. Now with LG and frankly what you want to charge to fix it I can buy another for. Will never buy LG again!

Eugene Ashton (@ehuge) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Just for the record, after interacting with LG Electronics SA I can confirm that their service is thorough and their products sub-standard. My view is avoid buying anything they make. It breaks down and then they rip you to repair it. Poor form all round.

Many of you may know me as an ex-Mayor, an ex-Premier, and a Gogo. But I’m also a daughter of Johannesburg, I was born and raised in this great City. This is why I'm joining the fight to wrestle it back from a criminal mafia, for delivery. Here's my story. 🔽 #BelieveInJoburg

Paul Mashatile cut his teeth as a political activist in the tumult of 1980s Alex, he was detained without trial & after 1994 built a power base in Gauteng. He now wants to be president. But what does he stand for, to whom is he beholden, and how do his networks function?

It is with great sadness that we share the news of Dickie Bird's passing. The Yorkshireman was a wonderful player and enjoyed a famed career as one of the game's most beloved umpires. He died peacefully at his home, aged 92. Rest in peace, Dickie. 🤍

1/9 Paul Mashatile lives in multimillion rand mansions in Waterfall and Constantia. How did he and his networks afford this? How do his networks support his lifestyle, and what do they expect in return? #TheDarkPrince
