"South Africa differs from 'failed states' in one important aspect: we have a vibrant, competent, committed private sector. Whatever gov cannot do, the private sector can fix it tomorrow. If government gets out of the way, this country can turn on a tickey." — Christo Wiese

@cyclecapepoint @DailyInvestorSA Thanks Sandy, I have sent an email and made my contribution. It’s an overreach by the State who should not be able to make determinations on investment thresholds.

It’ll change how you think.

Her ideas:
• Your brain constructs reality
• Damage can erase abilities
• Why children recover (but adults don't)

12 lessons on the human brain:

German Chancellor Merz:

We are simply no longer productive enough. Each individual may say, “I already do quite a lot.” And that may be true.

But when you return from China, ladies and gentlemen, you see things more clearly.

With work-life balance and a four-day week, long-term prosperity in our country cannot be maintained. We will simply have to do a bit more.

When your plans are backed by resources and money no amount of announcements will change the outcome. However when they are backed by hope and favours, announcing them makes the outcome feel fragile.

If I have R3M to buy a car, what can possibly change the outcome if I announce?

You can disagree with your government, but taking pleasure in your country’s struggles just to validate your own bitterness is something else entirely.

South Africa is hosting the G20, one of the world’s most influential gatherings where leaders of the largest global economies meet to shape international policy, development, finance, peace, and cooperation.

These are not ordinary leaders, they include Heads of State, Presidents, Prime Ministers, Finance Ministers, Central Bank Governors, and high-level diplomatic delegations. Their decisions affect global markets, security, and international relations.

Let’s respect the broader African agenda. This moment is bigger than any organisation, it’s about protecting the continent’s image, unity, and future while the world’s eyes are on us, any disruption affects how South Africa is viewed globally.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

I read an advance copy of Andrew Sorkin’s new book ‘1929’. Like ‘Too Big to Fail’, 1929 puts you in the room as the events leading up to the crash and the Great Depression are born and develop. You get to understand the history, meet the players, and watch history unfold.

It’s a great read for anyone interested in investing, markets, history, economics, government, politics, and
I have recommended only a few books on @X. This is a great one. Not to be missed.

I look forward to the movie.
