Telling white people in Africa to go back to Europe is patriotism, but telling black people in Europe to go back to Africa is racism. Did I get that right?

Yesterday, I made myself listen to Malema's speech. I have decided not to share it here, as I believe giving him less exposure is ultimately better.  That said, some analysis and context might be useful. After overcoming the wave of disgust that arose while watching this cretin,

And when people such as myself point out the obvious people get mad. The reason Cape Town is like that is because of the DA The reason Johannesburg ( my city ) is collapsing in front of my eyes is because of the ANC and their puppet parties. That is the fact

There’s no need for a “national dialogue”, I wrote months ago. It’s a waste of time and money. South Africa’s socioeconomic problems are understood. Ramaphosa knows the challenges South Africans face and his government must address them. It’s that simple.

After 25 years of membership at Discovery, they REVOKE (not just suspend) my dad’s medical aid because there was R97 too little in his main bank account for the debit order. Looks like they cannot wait to get rid of elderly member! Fucking scumbags! 🤬🤬

A letter sent today to President Ramaphosa calling for his and his government’s urgent intervention in the humanitarian crisis that has developed at 11 Shaft at Stilfontein, where 800 miners face imminent death.

Let’s be clear. Illegal mining is a big problem in SA, just like cigarette smuggling, transfer pricing, tax evasion and illegal immigration. That said, a retrenched miner with no prospect of ever finding a job, who goes into an abandoned mine and chips away it the reef to …

Thread. One of the things that happens when governance decays, is that the democratic lexicon cannot keep up with the decay. So, those responsible utilise euphemisms (technically correct but which bear no resemblance to reality). Panyaza Lesufi and Gauteng are a classic example.

Got a good judgment in another land restitution case today. It’s the usual story; corrupt trustees, no governance, collapse of the farming enterprise, and a failure to maintain the register of beneficiaries. In these circumstances holding elections for new trustees is impossible.

All Ukraine advocates have tried to give the new Trump admin time in good faith despite the clear pro-Kremlin track record of Trump, Musk, and others. But today's performance demolished that hope. It could have been choreographed by Putin himself, and perhaps it was.

Was it for this that the US spent 80 years building power and alliances? Not to be a force for good. But instead to impoverish neighbours, threaten those it protected, rob minerals from war-torn countries, and break its promises to 100s of millions of the poorest in the world? 🧵

I think the ANC is angry about the blocked budget and its judgement is impaired by that anger. Increasing VAT is politically toxic. Threatening to bring in the EFF to force a VAT increase through makes it politically radio-active. Why the self-harm?
