Everyone should stop being so tough on the ANC. After all, 30% is a pass mark. They taught us that ages ago. 40% is crushing it. All this 50% pass stuff is just western propaganda.

I have spent years on this silly app trying to show that: 1. Wokeness is poisonous, destructive nonsense. 2. Wokeness is highly concentrated amongst the SA elite (academia, media, law) 3. Wokeness has zero appeal amongst working class South Africans. Hopefully this proves it.

A message to South Africa’s new government: abandon the “transformation” dogmas, and focus on growing the economy. Stronger economic growth is what will improve the lives of the poor. No growth no transformation. It’s that simple.

‘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

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!

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.

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

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

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.
