@Abramjee I would be happy to contribute to that coffee machine. I would be happy to contribute to a crowdfund of sorts for this man. I would be happy to buy this man a beer.
Can we crowd fund for Warrant Officer Sander as a national appreciation?
This is a cop who had to fight to keep his special skill allowance of R1k after being refused promotion. Only to have his coffee machine stolen.
His crime? He was doing his job well. #MadlangaCommission
I genuinely think a lot of millennials are reaching the same conclusion at the same time.
We grew up watching technology make life better every year. Cell phones. iPods. Smartphones. An app for everything. It felt like the future was arriving right in front of us, and we couldn’t wait for what came next.
Then somewhere along the way, it changed.
Everything became a subscription. Social media became algorithms. Every day feels like another once-in-a-lifetime event. The things that were supposed to save us time somehow ended up demanding more of our attention than ever.
We were sold convenience.
What we got was a world that feels faster, louder, more expensive, and somehow less human.
And that’s why so many people I know dream about a completely different life now. Not more technology. Not more optimization.
Just a quiet job, a flip phone, a small town, and a place where life feels real again.

This has been coming for a while. I was invited to Morocco circa 2018/19 when the government was launching their financial district. I have travelled there more than 5 times since.
It was clear then, and it is now, that the government of Morocco had a clear plan & every intention of executing on it.
When I told my peers in the SA capital market scene about this, they thought I was hallucinating.
By 2023, Morocco had built a solid financial market system. And they have accelerated their pace of development.
South Africa has to realise that it doesn't have a monopoly on opportunities or talent.
Time is not waiting for South Africa to get its act together.
And while we squabble over legacy issues of how our economy is distributed, the rest of the continent is building for the future.
I am sure Morocco is not perfect.
But the point is, South Africa desperately needs leaders who can imagine and build a more vibrant economy.
We dont have a resources problem.
We dont have an opportunities problem.
We have a leadership problem.
