@Discovery_SA No other bank in SA does this (that I am aware of). What changed to make you all of sudden charge us a crazy 2%. 2% is huge in the payments industry and this is on top of the normal issuer fees and punitive fx spreads you charge.

[Greg Longe @GregLonge]

@discovery_sa now charging an extra 2% fee on “international” merchants ie Rand transactions on Spotify, Apple, Netflix, Playtomic, Nike etc is insane. Talk about short term profiteering. How can you build out a bank and then rip off your high end clients?

@Discovery_SA Just because a million pages of terms and conditions allow something doesnt mean that it’s a good decision to do it.

What a great thread with so many pearls of wisdom.

1) Given how manifestly terrible most boards are at capital allocation, I think companies should have "Capital Allocation Officers" who are in charge of buybacks, capital structure, issuance.

A majority of the board can overrule them, but the details of this vote must be public.

In SA we always focus on the 2 or 3 popular sporting codes but I’ve had the privilege of getting to know one of SA’s greatest ever sportsman in terms of international accolades, @GregMinnaar is the Goat, take a look why… https://t.co/PdHZfQhyvJ

Unpopular opinions: We're living in the greatest time ever for the most people ever, things are getting better and have been for a long time, the technology we're addicted to is mostly awesome, and the challenges that face us are solvable.

When intermittent fasting, it’s easier to eat healthy in the daytime than in the evening, before willpower depletion and social pressures set in.

@HomeAffairsSA @GovernmentZA Now over 5hours for something that could take 5mins online. What a waste

[Greg Longe @GregLonge]

@HomeAffairsSA @GovernmentZA 2hours and counting with a newborn at Wynberg branch and still nowhere near getting served. How is a simple birth certificate application not available online? Forcing people to spend hours in close proximity in queues for routine docs is not just inefficient, it’s dangerous.

[Greg Longe @GregLonge]

@HomeAffairsSA @GovernmentZA Make that 3 hours and still waiting to get in the door. Wish I could say it’s a go slow but this is normal for home affairs. @CyrilRamaphosa fight covid, move home affairs online for basic obvious tasks
