WATCH | A new think tank, Vuka Azania, has launched in Johannesburg with a mission to advance the decolonisation and empowerment of Black South Africans. One of its founders, Advocate Muzi Sikhakhane, says the condition of Black people has not fundamentally changed.

Zimbabwean-born MTN Group chief executive Ralph Mupita says 82% of the company's revenue is generated outside of South Africa, pointing to pan-African economic integration - not isolation - and cooperation as essential for the continent's future growth and prosperity.
Speaking at the Kgalema Motlanthe Foundation Winter Seminar yesterday, Mupita said Africa's growth and future depends on shared economic opportunities and integration rather than divisions, too restrictive borders and anti-immigrant hostilities.
This comes in the wake of massive anti-immigrant protests in South Africa, and removal of thousands of Africans, mainly from Malawi, Lesotho, Mozambique, Ghana, Nigeria and Zimbabwe.
Mupita, hails from Mutare and has been in South Africa for 35 years where he is now married locally in Limpopo province, says Africa is the commercial heartbeat of MTN, the continent’s largest telecoms company with over 300 million subscribers.
MTN operates in over 15 markets across Africa and the Middle East, with major hubs like Nigeria and Ghana contributing significantly to the group's overall performance.
MTN Group reported a total service revenue of R218.5 billion for the financial year ended 31 December 2025, a 22.9% increase year-on-year.
Mupita's remarks came amid discussions on regional mobility, cautioning against retaliatory actions or boycotts of pan-African businesses during localised social tensions.
MTN, founded in 1993, although it started operating in 1994, has a history with Zimbabweans.
The late Sifiso Dabengwa, who hailed from Zimbabwe, became the chief executive of the company in 2011, succeeding Phuthuma Nhleko.
Before taking the helm, Dabengwa joined the company in 1999 as the managing director and later served as group chief operating officer.
He remained chief executive until his resignation in November 2015.
Dabengwa died in 2024.

ℹ️ Migration myths don’t add up, says Standard Bank CEO

Sim Tshabalala says migrants don’t steal jobs or push down wages. They create demand, which creates employment.

Speaking at a Kgalema Motlanthe Foundation seminar on migration, the Standard Bank CEO says his bank operates in 20 African countries. It earned R49 billion last year, with about 40% of that coming from outside SA.

The O Level was never designed as a universal school-leaving qualification. In Britain, where it originated, it was intended for roughly the top 20% of pupils on the academic grammar school track. The remaining 80% followed vocational and technical pathways. Yet Zimbabwe persists with the fiction that every child should clear an examination never meant for everyone. The predictable result is that fewer than a third “pass”, while the majority are casually branded failures.

Rural industrialisation begins by abandoning this absurdity. Every province should define its own labour absorption strategy around its comparative advantages, whether agriculture, mining, fishing or manufacturing. A minority should pursue the academic route. The majority should graduate with recognised certificates of vocational or technical competence, developed and championed by industry itself. That is how productive labour is created and productive labour is how economies grow.

In 15 years of investing across Africa, I haven't found people more clued up on finance and economics than Kenyans and Zimbabweans.

It is interesting that, in this season of Afrophobia, the xenophobes and Afrophobes seem reluctant to respond when remarks as in this video come from white people, yet they react with outrage when a black person says the same thing.

That raises an obvious question, was Julius Malema right when he argued that the xenophobes are afraid of confronting white people? If the principle is truly the issue, then it should be applied consistently, regardless of who is speaking.

One of the leaders of the xenophobic movement, Ngizwe Mchunu, recently declared that a German living in South Africa is no longer German but South African.
Yet the same individual, together with Jacob Zuma and his MK Party, is demanding that Africans who are legally documented and living lawfully in South Africa should leave the country.

If nationality and belonging are determined by residence and legal status in one case, why is the same principle not applied consistently to legally documented Africans? Is this inconsistency driven by a reluctance to confront white people, while directing hostility towards fellow Africans instead?

Could it be because Jacob Zuma is working with AfriForum? If so, is that influencing who is criticised and who is spared?

What is interesting is that this white South African has described the xenophobes and Afrophobes as not just stupid, but even more stupid than he had previously thought. Yet there has been complete silence from them.

When black people make similar criticisms, they erupt with outrage. But when a white South African says it, they suddenly go quiet. Perhaps Julius Malema was right after all when he suggested that they are afraid of confronting white people.

If they truly stand by their convictions, they should respond consistently, regardless of who is speaking. But quite clearly, they are cowards who only gain their courage against fellow black Africans. Hypocrites!
