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.





'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 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-…





"Zimbabwe's land reform is no model for South Africa" politicsweb.co.za/opinion/zimbab… Politicsweb


Corruption thrives under the ANC because the rule of law has steadily been replaced by populist justice — investigations, arrests and prosecutions are shaped by political influencing and intimidation.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…
