@GaytonMcK love the sentiment below, artists are different from national sportsman in ‘Cinderella sports’ that you can’t make a professional living out of

[Isaac @isaacrrr7]

Javier Milei: “No tengo nada en contra de los artistas. Yo mismo tuve una banda de rock. Mi problema es que si necesitas una subvención del gobierno para hacer arte, ya no eres un artista, eres un empleado público.”

Milei es un número uno.

@PercyMaluleke @HermanMashaba Asking for a friend, does governance include the democratic election of the party leader?

This will be worth a listen

Do you really need more content — or just better content?

The internet solved access to information, but it did not solve wisdom, context, discernment, or signal-to-noise ratio.

After 22,000+ hours of interviews, analysis, broadcasting, and public discourse, I’ve decided to build the kind of daily briefing I’d actually want to consume myself.

Short. Sharp. Clear. Useful.

A daily operating system for understanding the world properly.

The Gareth Cliff Daily Briefing

Launching next week.

[Justin Howard @JPHoward69]

Always worth a listen

[Gareth Cliff @GarethCliff]

What if the smartest thing you consumed tomorrow only took 15 minutes?

I’ve spent the last 27 years in media watching intelligent people drown in noise, propaganda, clickbait, outrage, and “analysis” by people who learned what a microphone was on Tuesday.

So I built something different.

A concise daily briefing for people who value clarity over chaos.

Politics. Economics. Culture. Media. What matters. Why it matters. What to ignore.

No activism. No theatre. No fluff.

Launching next week.

The Gareth Cliff Daily Briefing.

🚨📍 WHY BBBEE MUST GO!

Here’s the funniest and saddest thing about how parts of BBBEE public procurement works in South Africa. 😭

Government needs to buy an X-ray machine worth around R800,000.

But because there may not be a Black-owned manufacturer or supplier with the product directly available, the system sometimes creates a middleman arrangement where a third-party BBBEE company buys the SAME machine from an existing supplier… then resells it back to government for R2 MILLION.

So taxpayers end up paying an extra R1.2 million not because the machine improved, not because technology changed, not because service got better… but simply because paperwork now says “empowerment.”

How is this sustainable in an economy already struggling with corruption, debt, collapsing hospitals and budget shortages?

Real empowerment should mean:
• building Black manufacturers
• creating engineers
• funding innovation
• developing skills and ownership

Not creating expensive middlemen who inflate prices while hospitals, schools and citizens pay the price.

South Africans we must ask itself a serious question: are we empowering people… or just recycling procurement money through politically acceptable channels? 🚨

[Lesego Futurist 🇧🇼 @LesegoFuturist]

Being an "African" is not an "excuse" to not respect laws in other African countries.

Just because you are "black" doesn't mean you're immune to abiding by the law in countries for black people.

Lastly, being held accountable for your actions and wrongdoings is not "racism".

The ANC just can't adapt to a new prosperous South Africa.
It's all about their Cadre deployment, racism and BEE.
They are totally stucked.

Italian olive oil is one of the most adulterated products in the global food supply. Estimates suggest 70 to 80% of "extra virgin olive oil" sold worldwide is either mislabelled lower-grade oil or cut with cheaper seed oils.

The fraud is run by organised crime. The 'Ndrangheta operates olive oil adulteration rings that generate more profit than cocaine trafficking. They import cheap oil from Tunisia, Morocco, and Turkey, relabel it as Italian, and export it at premium prices to people who think they're buying authenticity.

Or they cut extra virgin with refined olive oil, lampante (lamp oil grade, unfit for human consumption), or seed oils like sunflower and soybean, then sell the mixture as pure extra virgin to supermarkets and restaurants.

The Italian government knows. The EU knows. Occasional busts happen, the headlines run for a week, the fraud continues. The margins are enormous. The penalties are a rounding error.

Even the legitimate stuff has problems. Intensive olive cultivation in Spain has eroded hillsides, drained aquifers, and contaminated groundwater with pesticide runoff. Traditional groves are being torn out and replaced with high-density intensive plantations that demand irrigation in arid climates, heavy spraying, and mechanical harvesting that wrecks the soil.

The waste water is highly polluting. Every litre of olive oil produces 1 to 1.5 litres of effluent loaded with organic compounds, phenols, and residual oil. It gets dumped in evaporation ponds or discharged with token treatment.

Your £12 bottle of "Italian extra virgin" is probably mislabelled Tunisian oil cut with sunflower, possibly sold by organised crime, definitely draining a Mediterranean aquifer, and generating toxic waste at the press.

But it's from plants. So it's definitely healthier than butter from a British dairy cow grazing on rain-fed grass three miles down the road.

@ftenergy @TimModise Really? Perhaps ask the mines and smelters that have closed

Allow me to translate socialist to English.

When Mamdani says, "NYC faces a budget crisis," he means, "we ran out of other people's money."

When he says, "we need new revenue," he means, "we're going to tax people more."

But wait, he already "taxed the rich" straight out of the city. So, who does that leave him to tax now?

The next richest class. Then the one below that. And the one below that. It happens the same way every time.

Isn't socialism neat?

I’m not a big DA supporter and I haven’t voted for them past 2 elections but you bet I’m voting for Helen Zille in the upcoming municipals and I’m even prepared to campaign for her. We can’t keep supporting parties that let us down, this is not a football club. Joburg needs her!
