Serial note taker. I may not agree with you, but I will fight for your freedom to speak. Business Maverick journalist.

@CapeTown_Bru I’ll own it. Splashed in the blue waters because the other ward councillors are not great choices and GHL at least is willing to listen and talk.

staff at retailers and all over had to work, cos its still no work no pay. I hear you, but also understand, that 250 rand for one day's work was more important than voting. It is sad, it is reality and its all round kak en klaar. food and lights over an x on a ballot

@stashwashere I did vote super selfish this time around. I hope the public servants i voted to keep in remain in their positions so that they can answer for some of their misdeeds.

Dear newsrooms, let's bring back basic research into our profession. SACCUSA is a discredited private NPO run by Neil Diamond (🇿🇦 expat)—a simple search lists his past controversies like municipal land-swap probes to bitter property grab disputes with vulnerable widows. He recently reportedly fabricated a fictitious list of "67,000 Afrikaner refugees" to harvest data, only to be humiliated & publicly bypassed by the US Gov. Please speak to legit business organisations in the USA & SA to get informed, credible & reliable views/data on 🇺🇲🇿🇦 bilateral matters.

I guess the Indian government must also be *checks notes* "far too interested in in enriching a handful of politically connected elites through equity ownership, than delivering internet connectivity to the people"

From India to Canada to the Middle East to Europe, countries no longer know whether they can trust America.

The consequences could be disastrous.

My take:

[Institute for Economic Justice @IEJ_SA]

1/8 In Daily Maverick, @SharpSchutters highlights additional funding for GBV prevention and early childhood development in the #MTBPS2026.

These are vital commitments. How they are funded and what grant “savings” mean for households also deserve scrutiny.

I’ve observed the importance of NSFAS in assisting people who would otherwise have no options to build themselves up & get out of toxic communities & even move away from environments of crime. If we change everything else, it is the one thing that we must keep in some form.

[Lindsey Schutters @SharpSchutters]

@SZondi I had the pleasure of interviewing a grad who came through your tutelage and can confirm that you, sir, are doing the most. And an excellent job at it.
