Just checking if we’ve heard anything more from the journalists and pundits who told us that the G20 held in Johannesburg was going to change lives?
Other than making their miserable lives interesting for a weekend has anyone that matters actually benefited?
🎙️ Former SARS Commissioner @EdKieswetter:
“Our country is where it is because leaders take themselves too seriously instead of taking their work seriously. They lie about serving people and instead serve themselves.”
@GovernmentZA
This is what he said. Straight. No filter.
Hot take:
If Elon Musk had stayed in South Africa, we might never have heard of SpaceX, Tesla or Neuralink.
That tells you how much a country’s business environment matters for innovation and prosperity.
Africa is the poorest region in the world because our business environments don’t give entrepreneurs the freedom to innovate and create prosperity.
President Ramaphosa says Afrikaner persecution is a false narrative. I worked on the president’s farm when he was Vice President of South Africa.
I did my work honestly and correctly. I was mocked, threatened and had apartheid thrown in my face because I am a white man. People worked to get rid of me, and in the end they succeeded. The workers gave him an ultimatum and my contract was ended.
Before that, a fellow staff member warned me to get away from the farm, because they were going to stab me. I was threatened on the president’s own farm. It is all in my sworn affidavit, filed with USCIS.
President Trump looked at the facts and found that Afrikaners are persecuted. Yet USCIS found there is no pattern of persecution of Afrikaners, and on that basis says my family does not qualify. How can anyone call persecution a false narrative when it happened on the president’s farm?
We came to America legally. We are the Afrikaners already here. https://t.co/57BY7ak5Fh

Malatsi’s deeper point in Parliament that day was that companies like Starlink could still comply with aspects of the B-BBEE scorecard, namely skills development and socio-economic development.
They could invest directly in poor black communities and help those communities benefit.
But the ANC is so greedy and unreasonable that it cannot allow poor black people to benefit without its cadres securing ownership stakes in the process.
The justification for this greed? Simple. Ownership is also on the scorecard.
It's the final countdown 🎶
We're one step closer to Roman's first images! The observatory is now fully functional and the team is performing their final checks and calibrations before starting science observations.
