This should have been President Thabo Mbeki’s real speech if he was genuine:
“I am a Thatcherite.
I owe my being to the financial markets and jobless economic growth, the privatised SOEs and the tyranny of the Reserve Bank, the currency manipulators, the banksters, the bondholders and the ever-fluctuating interest rates that define the face of our corporate wasteland.
I am a Thatcherite”.
Thatcherism is a belief in free markets and a weaker government. Rather than planning and regulating business and people's lives, the government's job is to get out of the way, be restricted to defence of the realm and the currency. Everything else should be left to corporations, rejecting state ownership of businesses and public economic planning.
Thatcherism advocates for controlling the money supply with high interest rates, which the South African Reserve Bank adopted under Thabo Mbeki in 2000, the same year he confirmed in Parliament that his programme of privatisation would continue.
Generally speaking, the point of Thatcherism is to satisfy global financial markets and to maintain currency stability, which was a dismal failure, by the way. Thabo Mbeki formally adopted his inflation-targeting framework on 23 February 2000. By December 2001, the rand had lost 47.4% of its value, and the cost to purchase one US dollar in rands surged by 90% over this 22-month window.
It went so pear-shaped that Mbeki appointed the Myburgh Commission of Inquiry into the Rapid Depreciation of the Rand in early 2002 to investigate the causes behind the crash. The cause was the policy.
So, even though Mbeki’s primary goal was to have an economy that looked good on paper regardless of the reality on the ground, his administration failed to do that as far as the currency was concerned.
Yes, the policies that Mbeki pioneered delivered strong financial stability and greater confidence among foreign investors. These achievements were widely praised by financial markets and much of the business press, contributing to a perception that South Africa was an economic success story under Mbeki’s presidency.
This is also why his fanboys are convinced his era was a time of prosperity, mostly because during the 2000s, South Africa experienced respectable GDP growth and stable macroeconomic indicators, and the corporate media loved it, even though the policies had little to no impact on inequality or poverty and instead led to long-term deindustrialisation rather than an active industrial policy aimed at deliberately creating mass employment.
So, regardless of what Mbeki and his supporters believe, under his presidency, financial stability became an end in itself rather than a means to achieving full employment and industrial development, in a country that desperately needed the latter.
These, ‘your boys’, are not finding creative means to enter into other countries illegally;
They have visas permitting then to do their work.. they are also not staying there for indefinite periods of time.
They are also not selling drugs that destroy communities.
Cummon, sir. Keep up! More than 1.5 million people voted for you; atleast pretend like you have common sense🙏🏾
My former PhD supervisor said I should get a student to supervise and give them the project im currently struggling with, in that way, I'll be teaching them on how to approach it and hence I'll look at it from a different perspective and understand it better
Yazi abafuni for real. IN ALL CAPS. Because what in the budget out of “nowhere” when the country has been plagued by so many social ills. I actually can’t stand them.
Do you understand why Palestine is in the state it's in today? Outsiders arrived as immigrants, settled permanently, took control of the land, and gradually displaced and oppressed the indigenous population. Exactly what we are seeing right now in South Africa.
THE LAND BETWEEN VRYHEID AND MELMOTH:
People will tell you the wealth of South Africa is in Johannesburg. In the Rand. In the Witwatersrand. They are not telling you about what is sitting quietly in the hills between Vryheid and Melmoth.
There is a gold and uranium belt stretching across this landscape, from Denny Dalton through the White uMfolozi Inlier, through uMhlatuze, through iNkandla, that has barely been touched.
The conglomerate rock in those hills carries gold that was washed down by ancient rivers into a sea so old that no human tongue has a word for its age, then locked inside stone and left there, waiting. Tens of millions of tons of uranium ore sit in that ground, and most South Africans have never even heard the name of the place.
In 1893 a man named Denny came, valued that reef, and announced it was worth over sixteen million pounds. There was a gold rush that history barely remembers. Then it went quiet. The fortune seekers left. And the gold stayed exactly where it always was, sitting in hills that look empty to those who do not know how to look.
Not far from there is Dingane’s Kraal. Holy ground. Sacred and untouched in a way that goes beyond history. Kings do not choose ground by accident. Ancient people, people who were still connected to the earth in ways we have since forgotten, always built their most sacred places on ground that carried something.
And this entire corridor, from Denny Dalton stretching toward Dingane’s Kraal and beyond toward Melmoth and Ndundulu, carries something the soul recognises before the mind does.
The air is the first sign. That lightness you notice when you breathe there, that cleanness that feels unlike anything in the cities or even in most of the countryside, is being produced by what is underneath you.
Beneath those quiet hills lie ancient ocean floors, the remains of volcanoes that went silent before memory began, and locked inside the limestone rock of that area are the fossilised remains of the very first living things that ever breathed on this earth. The first breath ever drawn on this planet was drawn in a place connected to this ground.
The gold, the uranium, the ancient iron formations, the organic matter compressed into stone across ages no calendar can measure, all of it creates an energy that most land simply does not carry. You feel it in the air because the air is carrying it up from the earth beneath you. This ground is not sleeping. It is ancient and it is awake, and it has been holding its secrets with a patience that puts all of human history to shame.
Most people will drive through and see hills and grass. They will see a quiet road between two towns they do not think about.🍃🫶🏽
Morty: Capitalism gives everyone a chance to get rich if they just work hard enough.
Rick: Oh my god, Morty! Capitalism doesn't work if everyone wins. It needs poverty to function. Someone has to take the low-paying jobs so the profits keep flowing upward. If everyone had real financial security, no one would take those positions and the system would collapse.
Morty: But Rick, that's just how the market works. Some people earn more because they provide more value.
Rick: Tell that to the kid assembling your iPhone overseas for pennies while some CEO makes millions off it. Capitalism doesn't reward work, it rewards ownership. You don't climb the ladder by working hard, you climb it by owning the ladder. The workers collectively produce infinitely more value than some shareholder living in the Bahamas.
Morty: Okay, but isn't it about freedom People can still move up if they make good choices. Look at people who came from nothing and became successful, like entrepreneurs or celebrities.
Rick: Those are exceptions, idiot. That's why they're on TV. For every one person who makes it out, millions stay stuck because they never had the same luck, connections, or safety nets. The system needs those stories so people believe it's fair.
This is Ronaldo in 2004 when he was being introduced to the national team, he saw his elders and respected them by helping them in every possible way, that Joao Neves comment is the most disrespectful comment I have heard from any player from Portugal, let that stup!d boy apologize or he should never step foot in the second game.
People really know too little about Pep as a player.
A spindly kid moved to the wing at La Masia because “he was too frail to be a midfielder”.
Cryuff spotted him at Barca B and immediately said “that boy is smart. Football is played with the brain not muscles” and moved him to DM.
He was the youngest player and regular starter in Johan Cryuff’s UCL winning team at 20.
Was already coaching on the field at that time—telling older and established superstars like Laudrup to release the ball on time 😂
The first La Masia player to win the UCL.
Busquets was a taller Josep Guardiola regen—which is why Pep immediately connected with him and built his whole Barca system around Busi—it was basically him replicating himself on the field and having someone as his eyes on the field.

Women like Amanda DuPont are so wrong for what they are doing to Bafana Sindane, by chowing his money. This guy was definitely a special needs child 😭💔
