Ramaphosa is losing it, his power unravelling. Dumb decisions on Mkhwanazi and the US; flat-out lies about Mcebisi Jonas. Now he accuses his DA partners of plotting illegal regime change. As the ANC-aligned Sisulu Foundation says, it's time for him to go. WSM’s column on

After pledging that it wouldn’t unless the ANC fired 3 ministers implicated in corruption, the DA rolled over and voted for the Appropriation Bill. It’s the latest in a long, sorry saga of dramatic DA ‘red lines’ that turn out to be written in chalk. WSM’s column on Politicsweb.

“Come Join the Counter-Offensive at Pretoria Girls.” New essay on #schoolcapture - including a crowdfunding campaign for the principal who is suspended without pay. Any surplus funds will go to litigation against the GDE / the benefit of the school. school-capture.com/phsg-part-10

A cause well worth supporting against a despicable campaign of ANC bullying, with a large pack of media dogs in rabid support, targeting a a courageous school principal. Were it not for Wilkinson battling virtually singlehandedly, she'd have been shredded and forgotten long ago.

These are moderate requests for the GNU to take actions, which they should have taken anyway, and are in South Africa's national interest.

'Trump tariffs: The South African government reaps what it sowed' My latest piece for Politicsweb. "The ANC spent more time targeting, smearing, and punishing people who exposed inconvenient truths about them than defusing the diplomatic crisis." LINK: politicsweb.co.za/opinion/trump-…

Emma Powell was hounded by her government and betrayed by her party. Her ordeal is a measure of the ANC’s determination to exclude the DA from meaningful participation in the GNU. It’s also a failure of leadership by John Steenhuisen. WSM’s column on Politicsweb

As SA confronts the national crisis of Trump's tariffs, Ramaphosa has shown that he is willing to try for a compromise. Even grovel a little. No, not towards the US. Towards the SACP, to help secure the communist 'National Democratic Revolution'. WSM's column on Politicsweb.

The military tilts Islamist. It’s simply not feasible that the Chief of SANDF could go to Tehran and talk alliances with Iran without the ministers of DIRCO and DoD — never mind Ramaphosa — having foreknowledge. Heads must roll. WSM’s column on Politicsweb.

The ANC and MTN are like debris circling a plughole. Both are caught in the vortex of an Iranian whirlpool unleashed by the US. Linked by execs who shuttle between party and boardroom, they're beginning to grasp the high cost of their embrace of Tehran. WSM's column on

Daily Maverick highlighting a disturbing trend in South Africa whereby peaceloving youth are getting shot at just for hitting MPs over the head with bricks.

The state capture of the Zuma era was just the start. Under Ramaphosa, it’s got deeper, broader, stronger. Corruption is no longer an aberration but SA’s default condition. WSM’s column on Politicsweb. politicsweb.co.za/opinion/south-…

These are the ANC govt's 1930s-style race quotas for white males that all significant businesses and institutions must implement over the next five years, starting today.

Xenophobic violence doesn’t spring from a vacuum. It’s the last-resort and predictable — though never justifiable — reaction of excluded citizens who believe, often perfectly correctly, that their jobs, services and social fabric are being eroded by foreigners. WSM's column on

Corruption thrives under the ANC because the rule of law has steadily been replaced by populist justice — investigations, arrests and prosecutions are shaped by political influencing and intimidation. WSM’s column on Politicsweb. politicsweb.co.za/opinion/klepto…

The #JusticeForCweCwe campaign is now all but forgotten. It was an explosion of social hysteria fueled by as much by racism and political posturing as any real concern over child rape. WSM’s column on Politicsweb. politicsweb.co.za/opinion/race-a…
