This is where “uppercase” and “lowercase” came from. In the early days of printing, capital letters were kept in the upper compartments of the type case, while the smaller letters were placed below for easier access.

Rob Hersov and Daniel Hodges on the collapse of the "rainbow nation"

South Africa is at a breaking point—and few are willing to say it out loud.
Rob Hersov pulls no punches on corruption, crime, and a system he says is designed to fail.

In this explosive conversation, we unpack the reality behind ANC governance, collapsing infrastructure, and why global powers are starting to pay attention. From economic policies driving away investment to the growing anger on the ground—this is the unfiltered truth.

When we eat or drink sugar, it causes a sudden spike in the hormone insulin, which can serve as a catalyst to fuel certain types of cancers, Dr. Lewis Cantley, a Harvard professor and the then-head of the Beth Israel Deaconess Cancer Center, said in 2012.

His advice: don't eat sugar, and if you must, keep it to a minimum. https://t.co/yN025wWBMM

The most disgusting thing to come out of the Ad Hoc committee was yesterday. Paul O’Sullivan was asked by EFF if he had a conviction for GBV dating back to 1999. He conceded that he did and that he had signed an admission of guilt and paid a fine. He likened it to driving over the speed limit. Not one parliamentarian called him out for admitting to GBV and for making light of it. @ParliamentofRSA @Action4SA @EFFSouthAfrica @Our_DA @MYANC @DereleenJ @LeighMathys

When only the government is armed, the result is often tyranny.

So why would a government want to disarm law-abiding citizens? Because it fears them. And governments usually fear citizens when they intend to pass laws so intrusive or oppressive that they know resistance would follow.

Disarming the responsible is not about safety. It is about control.

Oh! My! Word! Did the Premier of Gauteng, say, with his entire chest out, that he goes to a hotel to take a bath when he does not have water. In an election year? He didn't think to keep this to himself? No EQ! No sense! No heart! How nice for @Lesufi that he can go to a hotel! What a gift to opposition party communication strategists. They must not waste this moment and voters must reward him for this callousness and hubris.

The Firearms Control Amendment Bill Returns – And South Africans Must Stand Ready to Defend Their Rights

The controversial Firearms Control Amendment Bill, which ignited widespread public outrage in 2021, has quietly resurfaced at NEDLAC – and with it, a renewed threat to the rights of law-abiding firearm owners across South Africa. Despite overwhelming opposition during the previous round of consultations, the draft proposals remain largely unchanged. At their core lies a dangerous agenda that seeks to strip citizens of the most fundamental means of protecting themselves and their families.

Among its most troubling provisions, the Bill once again attempts to remove self-defence as a legitimate reason for firearm ownership. In a country where violent crime has reached catastrophic levels and trust in the state’s ability to protect its citizens continues to collapse, this proposal is not only irrational – it can be argued as being immoral.
