The lie about Africa was not a small lie carelessly told.

It was a structural lie, deliberately constructed, institutionally maintained, academically defended.

It required the renaming of things. Egypt became, in the Western imagination, not quite African. The pyramids became a "mystery," because the alternative was crediting Africans with their construction, which the framework could not accept.

It required the discrediting of Arab and African scholarship about African history.

It required the dismissal of oral traditions as legend rather than history.

It required deciding that writing on paper counted as "civilization" and other forms of knowledge transmission did not.

It required, essentially, redesigning the criteria for what counted as "civilization" so that the places being colonized would fail the test.

The test was not neutral.

The test was written to produce a specific result.

And that result was: "Africa has no history worth the name."

Therefore what colonialism destroyed was not civilization. Therefore what colonialism did was not destruction.

This is not an accusation of individual ignorance.

This is a description of institutional architecture, built over centuries, maintained by people who understood exactly what it was for.

Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.

Arrogance has a price! No matter how much money you have, learn to respect women when they say NO. His arrogance will cost him millions, and probably go to jail.

It is so embarrassing that, despite having all those millions, the man has no game whatsoever. He does not even know how to chat up a woman. Money can buy many things, but it clearly cannot buy charm, confidence or social skills.

Yes, those photos you’ve seen are real.

More than 18 years ago, a baby named Lamine Yamal and his mom Sheila met Lionel Messi at a UNICEF fundraising photoshoot.

Today, their achievements on the pitch inspire millions. Off the pitch, both Messi and Lamine Yamal use their voices and platforms as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors to support and advocate for children around the world.

The goal? That every child survives, thrives, and fulfils their potential.

We are proud to have them on our team.

I have served long enough in leadership to recognise a troubling pattern. Too many among South Africa’s elite - black and white - appear to believe the rules that govern the rest of us do not apply to them.

As chairman of an SOE, I am regularly approached by business leaders asking me to intervene in operational or procurement matters. When I explain that my role is governance and oversight, not management, they say they understand. Yet the requests continue. This reveals a belief that exceptions exist for the connected few.

It was therefore striking to see Business Leadership South Africa and BUSA, organisations that have been vocal against state capture and political interference in state-owned enterprises, actively advocate for political intervention to transfer transmission assets to the Transmission System Operator. These are the same bodies that insist on corporate governance and board independence. Where, then, is the role of the SOE board? What exactly do they believe in?

Equally concerning are recent allegations involving former Democratic Alliance leader Tony Leon. Senior figures within his own party, including John Steenhuisen and Dion George, have raised issues that appear to involve conflicts of interest and undue influence. This from a voice that has long lectured on ethical standards and clean governance. Do these rules apply to everyone, or only when politically convenient? Selective morality is not morality at all.

When those who position themselves as guardians of good governance apply different standards to themselves, public trust erodes. But South Africans are watching. We see the inconsistencies. We now know where people stand.

The path forward requires courage. We must expose wrongdoing wherever it occurs without fear or favour. We must demand that those who preach accountability live it consistently. We must insist that rules bind the powerful as they bind ordinary citizens. And we must model the ethical society we want to build.

South Africa does not lack good people. What we need is the collective will to insist that principle applies to all. Let us find that courage. Let us call out double standards and build a nation where no one is above the law. That is the South Africa worth fighting for. #ProudlySA

EEUU sigue humillando a las selecciones de fútbol que juegan en el Mundial. Ahora le tocó a Uruguay. Los jugadores fueron tratados como narcos, con inspección de perros antidrogas y uniformados con detectores de metales.
La FIFA perpetró una vergüenza histórica este año.
