Just a reminder: the same countries to which these trucks are hauling our coal, while causing carnage on our roads - are the same countries that have told us not to build new coal-fired power plants, while funding NGOs that challenge such projects through the courts.
And @CyrilRamaphosa is their JET lobbyist.

🚨🗣️ Kylian Mbappé on Real Madrid’s situation and the reported tension between Valverde and Tchouaméni:
“I see everything people are saying on social media. Many fans think I destroyed the dressing room or changed the atmosphere of the team, but honestly I cannot speak deeply about that. I can only speak for myself.”
“I know there are rumors everywhere saying Mbappé should leave Madrid, that maybe the project is failing, but I want people to understand something clearly… I am staying. This is the club I chose. I came here to play football, to win trophies and to fight for this badge.”
“In football, difficult moments always exist. Big clubs go through pressure, criticism, emotions, arguments… this is normal. What happened between Valverde and Tchouaméni is something internal. We already spoke together as a team, with the coach and also with president Florentino Pérez.”
“There is respect inside this dressing room. We all want the same thing — to bring Real Madrid back to the top again. Nobody is bigger than the club. We move forward together.”
🚨 OFFICIAL: Kylian Mbappe’s camp reacts with a statement to AFP on recent criticism.
“Part of the criticisms are based on an overinterpretation of elements related to a recovery period strictly supervised by the club”.
“This is NOT corresponding to the reality of the commitment and the work that Kylian does daily for the good of the team”.
Nothing will change. He will continue scoring as he’s always done. He never argues with opponents or referees, he never insults teammates publicly, he never throws tantrums on the pitch, he never disrespects his coach in broad day light.
What he does best is to score goals and he’s not going to change that to anything else . If the others won’t do their jobs well that’s not up to him. Imagine scoring a hat trick in a clasico only for you to lose 4:3
That’s his fault too?
Kylian will stay like that and once you build a better surroundings Real Madrid will win again. Not players who only turn up when the season is over to try to prove a point.
Kylian is here to stay and with the right team building Real Madrid will dominate again. 💡
South Africa remains stagnant and failing because it traded the engineer for the lawyer
Substituted the factory manager for the chartered accountant
Swapped the materials scientist for the banker
Glorified the finance manager over the artisan
Prematurely gave up the bullet for the ballot
Rewarded the office park over the industrial park
Magnified the tender consultant over the town planner
Elevated the compliance officer over the soil scientist
Worshipped glorified credentials over capability
Idolised the procurement officer over the inventor
Traded the civil engineer for the civil servant
Traded the mine surveyor for the mining indaba
Chose the consultant over the craftsman
The common thread in South Africa is the rise of the intermediary.
In a healthy industrial economy, value is created at the source, which is the factory, the farm and the mine.
In an economy like SA’s that has swapped the artisan for the accountant, the primary mechanism of wealth generation becomes the cut taken by the middle man who does not necessarily add value to the physical product, only extracting value from the transaction.
You cannot and will not develop a nation by attempting to skip the industrialisation phase and jumping head-first into a service-based global economy.
When the primary route to wealth runs through state tenders, compliance, licensing and procurement, you get rent-seeking rather than value creation where incentives point away from building things and toward positioning yourself between the builder and the buyer.
This is not about Fana Hlongwane or Ze Nxumalo, but yes, just like that.
