Mail & Guardian Imagine putting that on your front page, just because that guy said it. How editorially weak has your publication become? I remember when this was a real paper.

Minister: International Relations and Cooperation Gonna keep reminding you about this, Ronnie. “I am just giving a warning to white South Africans: They must voluntarily bring back the land… we can no longer be able to guarantee the continued safety of Mr. Van der Merwe…”   “The land question will not be won through romantic

Ramaphosa set up the Madlanga Commission to cauterise the public effect of the ANC–SAPS–crime cartel links. Instead, each day widens the toxic ring and will stain CR’s legacy as indelibly as state looting did Zuma’s. WSM’s column on Politicsweb. politicsweb.co.za/opinion/the-po…

“The vast amounts lavished on cocooning politicians, versus the grudging trickle for real police work, are emblematic of an ANC government rotten to the core. The Madlanga Commission itself, as conceived by President Cyril Ramaphosa, was intended as a form of VIP protection.”

This is ridiculous. Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS, is shutting down operations around the world as part of cost-cutting efforts following its merger with Skydance Media. MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV, and MTV Live, are toast. This move will save up to

I'm just going to take a wild shot in the dark and predict if the UK govt is so determinedly witholding details of the race and ethnicity of perpetrators, yup, it's an terror attack by the Ultra Right White.

South Africa spends more of its budget on education than countries including France, the UK, Australia, and Spain. And yet it still has some of the worst educational outcomes. Funding should be the least of our concerns.

Has the DA has abandoned its boycott of the National Dialogue? If it has, the GNU's 'strategic retreat' of the past weekend is more like a DA surrender...
