Hotels sitting at 40% for the Comrades Marathon in 2027. I love this for my Province. The Comrades Marathon has become one of the biggest tourism and economic drivers. The rates generates hundreds of millions of rand in direct spending. and attracts tens of thousands of visitors. This is why Iโm an obsessed with this race, itโs one race that we need to acknowledge as a Province.
๐จR18 BILLION of Public Servants' Pensions TORCHED๐ญ
Public Investment Corporation (PIC)'s Isibaya Fund turned R18.223 billion into ZERO. Total wipeout (-100% IRR) across 23 companies. Teachers, nurses & police pensions gambled away.
How did this happen? Who monitors these investments? Why have we heard of only a handful of these companies among these 23?
The dissatisfaction voiced in some quarters over the demotion of John Steenhuisen by Geordin Hill-Lewis reveals far more about the deeper challenge facing our country than the decision itself.
We are all quick to profess our belief in appointing leaders on merit, until the person in question happens to be a relative, a friend, from our tribe or our political camp. Then, as if on cue, the same voices that once championed competence suddenly scale the nearest rooftop to extol the virtues of loyalty.
In my book, loyalty is often little more than cadre deployment dressed in more respectable clothing. This substitution of personal allegiance for proven capability remains one of the primary reasons our nation continues to struggle. When those entrusted with influence consistently place who one knows or owes above what one can deliver, mediocrity becomes systemic and institutions lose their way.
The hypocrisy is as predictable as it is corrosive. Merit is celebrated as a noble principle, right up until it threatens to deliver an outcome that doesnโt align with our personal or factional interests. At that point, loyalty is conveniently rediscovered as the higher calling.
If we are serious about arresting our countryโs decline, we must find the courage to apply the same standards to everyone, no exceptions, no special pleading, and no selective amnesia when the decision touches our own. #ProudlySA
