It’s ridiculous that Anushka Bogdanov, having fraudulently represented that she has a PHD from London Business School, would assume the role of Ethics chair of a listed company. She should be banned from assuming any fiduciary position at any company.

Lest We Forget
04 June, let us pause to remember these young men from our Generation who answered the Sunset call.

04 June 1980: Three members from 32 Battalion were Killed in Action South of Mutuanjamba (approximately 80 km inside Angola) during the first phase of Operation Sceptic while carrying out area clearing and domination operations in order to establish a Tactical Headquarters at Mulemba. When their patrol crossed a gravel road in the kill zone of a vehicle ambush, they walked into a large SWAPO/PLAN insurgent force that were dug in with mortars and machine guns and were able to inflict casualties and pin down the patrol. 2/Lieutenant van der Walt was killed instantly after being shot multiple times by a Soviet PKM machine gun. Staff Sergeant Braz immediately went to his aid and was hit multiple times by the same dug in PKM machine gun. He was still alive when the Casevac Helicopter arrived but succumbed to his wounds a short while later. 32 Battalion reinforcements arrived on the scene and successfully attacked and dislodged the ambushing force but elected to secure the immediate area and attend to casualties rather than pursue the retreating enemy force. Rifleman Joao was critically wounded in the initial exchange of fire and attempted to return to a temporary TB but apparently became lost and subsequently died of wounds. He has no known grave and remains unaccounted for. 2/Lieutenant Van Der Walt had narrowly escaped death on a previous occasion when he was wounded in the head by enemy small arms fire while flying as a passenger on a C160Z Transall after the aircraft was shot at by a SWAPO/PLAN patrol between Eenhana and AFB Ondangwa.

Dit sê nogal baie dat beide die twee maatskappye deur lede van die uiteindelik mees gemarginaliseerde BEE-rasgeteikende groepe gevestig is. Dit bevestig maar net dat Suid-Afrika 'n baie beter plek vir almal sou gewees het was dit nie vir die rou haat (of dalk nyd?) van die korrupte swart elíte teenoor die Afrikaner nie.
BREAKING 🔴
The United Arab Emirates, OPEC’s 3rd largest oil producer, announced it will leave OPEC and OPEC+ effective May 1.
The move would free the UAE from cartel production quotas, allowing it to pump oil at full capacity, set its own export strategy and price crude without group restrictions.
That could pave the way for higher UAE output, stronger state revenues and downward pressure on global oil prices.
Lower prices and increased supply would likely be welcomed by President Trump, who has long criticized OPEC production limits and called for cheaper energy.
R2.2b of corrupt Tembisa Hospital tenders. Eg 5 nylon bristle brooms - R242k. 4 plastic buckets -R19600. Babita Deokaran reports fraudulent tenders to her boss, Lerato Madyo and days later she’s shot dead. Ashley Mtunza the CEO refuses to investigate the fraud. No convictions.
30% to 45% of South African software developers are White males. New government targets aim to reduce that to 8.3% within 5 years. That means no new White male hires.

Not whining, it's just that being unemployed and legally unemployable is an existential risk.
South Africa is full of capable, driven, qualified people who are passed over, not because they can't do the job, but because they don't know the right names.

No country that engages in severe deprivations of the liberty of its people is sovereign.
"Sovereignty" is a word not only of right, but responsibility.
You cannot rely on it to excuse atrocious behaviour. Rather behave better, and see your sovereignty respected.
Let this sink in… 😭🌍
Angola is the 2nd largest exporter of crude oil in Africa… right next door 🇦🇴⛽
But somehow… we’re still importing fuel like we don’t live on the same continent
So what are we exporting… and what exactly are we buying back? 🔥
IDF confirms two major strike waves across Tehran and central Iran
Dozens of targets hit, including:
• Missile factories
• Weapons production sites
• Ballistic missile storage & launch infrastructure
Meanwhile, CENTCOM released footage of precision strikes on IRGC-linked assets, including vessels tied to terror financing networks.
From Tehran to the Pacific, IRGC networks are being hit.
On 16 March 2026, Brigadier General Soleimani and Ali Larijani were killed in US-Israeli airstrikes. The strikes targeted Iran’s key internal security figures, weakening the regime's control.
Larijani’s leadership and Soleimani’s Basij militia played major roles in suppressing dissent. Their deaths may lead to greater instability within the regime.
These events shift the conflict’s dynamics. For further insights, read our Special Scenarios report.

Happy Human Rights Day! 🇿🇦
We burn schools over confiscated phones, torch infrastructure when things don't go our way, destroy stages when artists no-show, and sabotage substations to hurt ourselves — but stay silent when trillions get funneled to a tiny elite through dodgy BEE deals. Time to direct the anger where it belongs!
