"Government is implementing interventions that cause market distortions. These distortions reduce the potential number of investors as well as the total value of investments, the investments required to increase efficiency and therefore lower prices."

It seems we vote for our government only to cheat us and ultimately violate our rights. Whenever we differ with our rulers, they respond with tougher laws and vindictive Statutory Instruments, Rejoice Ngwenya of #Zimbabwe writes at ⁦@AfricanLiberty⁩. https://t.co/ubsA7YlehQ

Good morning,

South Africa has among the highest youth unemployment rates globally, with 58% of 15-24 year olds not in jobs, education or training. In times of economic crisis, young people are the first to lose jobs and the last to gain them back.

Good morning,

The role of government is not to create jobs in our society. That’s not government’s role.

Government must focus on creating laws and frameworks within which jobs can be created by business.

Clear?

[Phumlani M. Majozi @PhumlaniMMajozi]

Good morning,

It’s not really about whether the policy works or doesn’t work - it’s about whether the policy maximizes individual freedom or not.

If the policy is not maximizing individual freedom - then it must be scrapped.

My SABC interview from yesterday is available online:

[Phumlani M. Majozi @PhumlaniMMajozi]

It baffles me, and it will always baffle me that with all the incompetence we have seen from government over the past years - there are people who still want more of government’s interventions in the economy.

The evidence is clear - government is harmful. What more do you want?

[Phumlani M. Majozi @PhumlaniMMajozi]

Good morning,

Sometime today, I urge you to take a moment and go look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself these questions:

Who owns my life? Who knows what’s best for me? Is it me, or is it an ANC government bureaucrat who’s never met me? Who exactly owns my life?
