If billionaires came out and said they were going to hunt us for sport, some of you would defend it by saying:

"You’re just mad because you can’t fucking run fast."

I’ve noticed a disturbing pattern among certain academics, political commentators and self-proclaimed intellectuals. They constantly dismiss ordinary South Africans as though we’re just making noise on X and lack the education or intelligence to understand complex issues.

What they conveniently forget is that they’re engaging with educated South Africans too, including professionals both within and outside the legal field. Not everyone who disagrees with them is uninformed or incapable of understanding the law.

Apparently, having a title, lots of followers or qualification makes their opinions more valuable than ours. The arrogance and condescension are astounding. Being educated doesn’t make you immune to criticism nor does it make everyone who disagrees with you ignorant.

@talkcentss I’m certain these deceptive practices add quite a bit to the bottom line. Just like charging customers for “bounced” debit orders. Deliberate for sure ✔️

Black kids need to see more value systems, work ethic, the process between potential and purpose, ideas and the steps to execute into results, societal | mental | emotional and relational health, nature, creativity, well rounded exposure to the 🌎 (books are often the first source of time, space, cultural travel)… and that will instill and sustain success in so many dimensions.

Putting fallible humans on pedestals and making undefined comparative value the bar of aspiration, is where it’s all falling apart. Beyond the glitter, it could be foil. And they need to be exposed to how to tell the difference.

i’m taking a “it depends” position on a lot of discourse. is a 5 hour texting gap bad? it depends. should couples live tg before marriage? it depends. is it bad to cancel plans bc you don’t feel like going anymore? it depends. i’m less definitive these days bc truly: it depends.

In Russia, the oligarchs who seized state assets went on to build operational empires.

They maintained railway networks, managed massive oil and gas fields, and established permanent industrial systems that outlived them.

In contrast, their African counterparts operate on pure extraction, with no reinvestment.

They do not build factories; they consume foreign-made goods.

The intellect required to construct powerful, generational enterprises is absent in these short-sighted actors.

They are opportunists who siphon off public tender money and monopolize state infrastructure projects, only to deliver nothing of substance to the public.

The macroeconomic tragedy lies in where this money lands. The true beneficiaries of African corruption are not African citizens or economies, but elite Western conglomerates.

Wealth stolen from African reserves is promptly exported to enrich Rolls-Royce, Louis Vuitton, Boeing, Hermès, and Gucci.

In exchange for the continent's future, these actors receive only fleeting status symbols and depreciating luxury assets.

A fleet of multimillion-dollar vehicles loses value the moment it hits the potholes of the very roads the stolen funds were meant to repair.

It is a logical fallacy to expect an extractor to possess a visionary's brilliance. The shortcuts and scams that fuel tenderpreneurship require a low, deceptive cunning, but they lack the strategic foresight needed to build sustainable systems.

Because no institutional systems are established, the cycle remains perfectly predictable: when one corrupt actor falls, another identical one fills the vacuum. The machinery stays the same; only the face changes.

Since the dawn of the independence era, this cycle has repeated across the continent without producing a single sustainable, self-reliant economic superpower.

Breaking it requires a fundamental shift in the leadership paradigm. Africa does not lack wealth; it lacks structural fortitude. To end the era of parasitic accumulation, a new generation must introduce an entirely different ethos, one that prioritizes institutional success over personal ego and long-term industrialization over a fleeting appetite for foreign luxury.

Until leadership is defined by the systems it builds rather than the luxury brands it consumes, the continent will remain trapped in a loop of engineered poverty.
