@King1830747 @koko_matshela Increasing energy density is the path forward.
Sunlight < Wood < Coal < Oil < Nuclear.

Regress will never be progress.

'Renewables' is a propaganda term for decreasing energy density. It's retrogressive.

@talkcentss Then most consequential potential amendment to the constitution.
Monetary policy hard wired in the constitution is irrational.
No other change will make much of a difference.

@kzshabazz @SizweLo When logic & facts fail you, you get vulgar?
Religion has been used both to oppress & to liberate. This isn't complicated.
You're avoiding the issue: Christianity existed in Africa long, long ago while Europeans worshipped stones. They do not get to define the ancient faith.

@kzshabazz @SizweLo 2) Do you know what Christianity is (outside Western interpretation)? You have not thought about this sufficiently, hence you can't grasp what I'm saying.
If you can define Christianity, I'll show you evidence of it's pre-colonial prescence in Africa.

[Michael Katide @MichaelKatide]

@kzshabazz @SizweLo We often fail to recognise pre-colonial Christianity in Africa (other than the Ethiopian version) because we expect it to look like European Christianity.

If you know the cultural frameworks indispensable to Christianity but useless for anything else, you find the evidence.

[Michael Katide @MichaelKatide]

@kzshabazz @SizweLo No. You're unable to understand Christianity outside European orthodoxy.
Don't look for forms familiar to Europe, respect that African faith & theology are structurally different than European forms. Then you may see missionaries as corruptors & apostates of African Christianity

@RedRa28 @CelebiKrause @RamAbdu Brutality is Europe’s number one global export. Just happens to be a tad less discriminating these days.

@koko_matshela @kimheller3 The left-right dichotomy has not liberated us in 70yrs. Could it be that the European political paradigm is hopelessly impotent in our context? European class struggle was real. African nobility didn't own land, they were stewards.
This dichotomy is pointless in Africa.

[Michael Katide @MichaelKatide]

@Mngxitama2 Commitment to the "left" is a result of liberal education and has not broken our shackles in 70yrs!
Questioning this orthodoxy fails because it's uncritically labelled as selling out.
An organic African model is possible, iff we can break from the paralyzing left-right dichotomy.

@PhakelaMthakath @CetshwayoG One of Dr Ben Carson's heroes is Booker T Washington; he warned against two "parasitic professions" delaying economic development of freed Africans: politicians and pastors.

@SAReserveBank If SARB is serious about limiting inflation over the long term, it would insist on lending that promotes production rather than title transfers and speculation. When money goes into production increases, inflation declines.
Current policy protects capital when demand is low.

@penuelist_ Old RSA: Gov decided who would be poor and who would be rich.
DA RSA: Gov decides who is poor and who is rich.

Either way, Gov won't just get out of the way.
