[Chalyn.Rugby @ChalynRugby]

There’s a big discussion at The Breakdown today about the Springboks and their depth: “There are only 23 players can play on the day and that’s what you are up against “

And that’s a fact. There are only 23 players on the field, and I know for a fact that South Africa knows exactly what their best side is. That best side played against the All Blacks in all 4 Tests. That’s a fact.

But do you know what depth gives you?

Longevity.

The Bok players are getting older and many of them are reaching the latter stages of their careers. But their incredible depth means they don’t have to play every single game. They only have to play the important games because they have quality, like-for-like replacements waiting outside the 23.

And that’s where South Africa’s depth becomes so frightening.

Rassie Erasmus has created an environment where you can bring a player into the team and expect him to perform because everyone understands their role. The system is clear. The standards are clear. The cohesion isn’t necessarily a problem because the players coming in already understand how the team operates.

Compare that with the All Blacks.

Can we rest Cam Roigard against Scotland? Can we rest Jordie Barrett? I don’t think we can.

South Africa can say: “Damian de Allende and Jesse Kriel aren’t playing this week. We’ll put Damian Willemse at 12 and André Esterhuizen at 13,” or make other combinations within their system, and they can still expect those players to perform the same roles at an incredibly high level.

That is what depth gives you.

It’s not about having a 23-man team that is better than everyone else’s 23. If it’s simply 23 vs 23, the difference might not be that significant.

It’s what happens over an entire season and especially over a Rugby World Cup cycle.

In 2027, you will see South Africa rotate heavily through the pool stages. Maybe some pool games will feature a completely different side. Maybe one of the games they field their strongest XV. Then, when they reach the knockout stages, they can bring their best players back in fresh and ready for the Round of 16, quarter-final and beyond.

And the biggest advantage is that they have the luxury of bringing almost anyone into that environment and expecting them to play the same way as the person they’re replacing.

That’s the scary part. The rest of the world shouldn’t just be scared of South Africa’s best 23. They should be scared of South Africa’s depth and what that depth does to the longevity of their best players.

And you have to give Rassie Erasmus enormous credit for creating an environment where that is possible.

The HAWKS said they get instructions from Union Buildings to target citizens. Directly from the Office of the Presidency.

They even called the Head of the NPA [Shamila Batohi] to do unlawful prosecutions on people, and political opponents. The office of the Public Protector [Gcaleka] too.

[Koen Godderis @koengodderis]

Laat ik je even uitleggen wat er straks gebeurt.

De EU voert al een paar jaar oorlog tegen Rusland via Oekraïne. Aanvankelijk was dat ook de VS via de democraten. Meer nog, de VS heeft die oorlog in 2014 opgestart door de mensen in Donbas van Russische afkomst te vermoorden. Om zo Rusland uit hun kot te lokken.

Poetin wil geen oorlog met Europa. Rusland heeft Europa niet nodig. Er is geen enkele reden waarom Rusland Europa zou aanvallen. En dat zegt Poetin publiekelijk ook. Meermaals zelfs.

Rusland heeft een lage staatsschuld, lage werkloosheid, massa's gas en olie,... Rusland is een rijk land. Niet kapot te krijgen. Hitler en Napoleon dachten ook even Rusland te kunnen bekampen. Het werd hun ondergang.

En was het niet van de Russen in WO2 of we spraken hier nu allemaal Duits, mannen droegen een snorreke en we liepen op straat met een gestrekt armpje. De geallieerden ons bevrijd van de nazi-Duitsland? Toch best nog maar eens de geschiedenisboeken induiken dan. De klus was door de Russen al geklaard toen ze hier kwamen.

Uiteraard heeft Rusland ook zijn mindere kanten uit het verleden. En dat is dan nog zacht uitgedrukt. Daar bestaat geen discussie over. Maar Rusland vandaag is niet meer de Sovjetunie van vroeger. We zitten anno 2026 toch ook niet elke Duitser uit te kafferen voor nazi? Terwijl Duitsland al twee keer een wereldoorlog heeft veroorzaakt.

Het begint Poetin wel op zijn systeem te werken dat de EU maar blijft en blijft Rusland provoceren en geen vrede wil. EU is in oorlog met Rusland. En niet omgekeerd.

En daar blijft het niet bij, want de EU met opper Führer Ursula stampt ook graag tegen de scheentjes van Trump. En schoot de hoofdvogel de voorbije dagen nog af met Cananda dat op één of andere manier de kant van de EU kiest.

Ook de framing van de gepolitiseerde Lügenpresse staat Trump niet aan. De bevolking wordt wijs gemaakt dat de VS steeds dreigt met hogere importtarieven, maar de waarheid is dat wat vanuit de VS naar de EU vertrekt veel hoger is aan taks dan omgekeerd.

Zowel Poetin en Trump zijn met deze EU klaar. Genoeg door de EU geprovoceerd en tegen de schenen gestampt. De EU vindt van zichzelf dat ze nu een wereldmacht is en dat ze zich kunnen permitteren om tegen de schenen te stampen van Jan en alleman. De waarheid is dat de EU in 1990 nog 30% van het wereldwijde BBP had. Anno 2026 is dat nog slechts 15%. De EU is niet alleen ondemocratisch en corrupt, maar vooral verarmend.

Wat gaat er komende tijd gebeuren? De EU wil oorlog met de VS en Rusland? Geen probleem. Trump en Poetin (die nota bene een goede verstandhouding hebben) houden voortaan de olieprijs hoog. En wie van de 3 wereldmachten gaat dat niet overleven? Exact! De EU.

Wie verliest straks de oorlog? Inderdaad, diegene die oorlogje wilden met Jan en alleman, de EU. Een zelfverklaarde wereldmacht, maar die dat helemaal niet is.

Mensen, geloof niets van wat de VRT, NPO, HLN, Nieuwsblad, Telegraaf, AD, etc... verspreiden. Het zijn voor 99% hele leugens en halve waarheden. En de mensen trappen er nog in ook.

Ik kom zelf uit de media en was zelfs geen klein garnaaltje. Diverse binnenlandse en buitenlandse grote mediaspelers wilden me op topposities.

Weet je dat Mediahuis (radio Nostalgie, Veronica, 100% NL, Nieuwsblad, Standaard,..) maandenlang hard aan m'n mouw heeft getrokken om hun radiotak op te richten en te leiden? Ik werd daar door de top meermaals met open armen ontvangen, maar ik had nog maar net eigen activiteiten opgestart en kon niet ingaan op het aanbod.

Dus kom me niet zeggen dat ik niet weet hoe media werken. Anno 2026 zijn ze jammer genoeg allemaal een verlengstuk van de regerende politiek. Via subsidies en marktbescherming. Niets is nog onafhankelijk. Ook niet de verslaggeving over Oekraïne.

Hopelijk zijn jullie bij deze wat wijzer geworden. Dankt u.

En oh ja, bekijken jullie dit nog eens?

Germany turns subways into bomb shelters.
Finland drafts men up to age 65.

They don't want you reading the files.
They don't want you questioning the state.

They want you terrified in a basement,

Beware of the lies of the politicians. Like the ANC, PA makes empty promises. Every where they have been in coalition they have destroyed. Look at Kynsna🤦🏾‍♀️. I don't understand why democracy must mean allowing dodgy business men and convicted criminals to come anywhere near our politics. They have nothing to offer except poor service delivery and alledged corruption.

Prof Fikeni told the Madlanga Commission that South Africa has more delegates in international events and conferences than other countries.

He says most officials do this to claim overtime and travel allowance, not that they are contributing anything in this events.

[Khangisa (Prof) @Siyakhangisa]

Professor Somadoda Fikeni took the stand on Day 176 and said something that should have stopped the room.

South Africa's implementation failures are not incompetence.

They are design.

He called it a "political economy of inefficiency." An appearance of action while the system is structured so that policies and programmes do not actually work.

Okay. Let me walk through what he actually said.

1. South Africa has some of the best governance policies on paper.

Fikeni should know. He chairs the Public Service Commission. His job is to evaluate whether those papers mean anything.

He said he has seen four ministers in five years at the PSC. High turnover is not chaos. It is a feature — because every new minister restarts the clock, and the system behind the minister keeps running.

But then he said the quiet part:

"The unwillingness to implement, but the presentation of a facade that we want to implement. Okay, let them push, but we'll make sure that it doesn't work."

2. The drone example.

The Border Management Authority has four drones for 71 ports of entry.

Fifty-two of those ports are land borders.

The BMA says it cannot procure more because the budget goes to salaries, with almost nothing left for operations and equipment. Officials have applied for extra funding through the Criminal Assets Recovery Account.

Four drones. Seventy-one ports.

That is not a budget shortfall. That is a statement.

3. But the drone gap is not the story. The story is the rest of the inventory.

Fikeni pointed to a wider pattern: idle equipment. Unspent grants. Software licences purchased and never activated. ICT systems bought and never switched on.

Money has been spent. The receipt exists. The box was delivered. It was never opened.

This is not theft. It is worse. Theft requires someone to want something. This requires no one to want anything to work.

4. Here is what "political economy of inefficiency" actually means.

It is not that the system is broken. It is that the system produces exactly the outcome it was designed to produce:

- Appearances of action for the annual report.
- Delays long enough for the political cycle to turn.
- Just enough functionality to keep the lights on while the wiring corrodes.

When a minister announces a new programme, the announcement is the deliverable.

The programme is optional.

5. The uncomfortable truth:

Incompetence can be fixed. You train people. You hire better ones. You restructure.

A system designed to look like it is working while ensuring it does not work cannot be reformed from within.

Because the people who would have to fix it are the same people who benefit from it staying broken.

Fikeni did not say that last part.

He did not have to.

Four drones for seventy-one borders said it for him.

[Bridgett Fertig @LightOnLiberty]

Julian Assange exposed that Ukraine wasn't the first war disguised as a money laundering operation. Elites used Afghanistan and MANY other wars THEY STARTED to steal our tax dollars too.

Julian Assange on wars being used for money laundering:

"The goal is to use Afghanistan to wash money out of the tax bases of the United States, out of the tax bases of European countries through Afghanistan and back into the hands of a transnational security only. The goal is to have an endless war, not to be successful." (To keep wars going to keep laundering our tax dollars)

This was all proven to be true as we all watched them do this right in our faces.

We recently learned Joe Biden and the entire DNC kept funneling our tax dollars to Ukraine to launder it back to themselves!

Zelensky's government conspired with Biden's USAID insiders to launder $200 million in American taxpayer dollars straight into Joe Biden's campaign and the DNC through layered fake infrastructure schemes.

Endless wars against the enemies they fund, to keep the racket going which is what President Trump is working overtime to stop.

That's why the Military Industrial Complex is fighting President Trump at every turn.

🇿🇦 RUBEN KRUGER — 36 CAPS, ONE WORLD CUP WINNER, AND A LEGACY OF GIVING 🏉

Ruben Kruger would have turned 56 this year. The Silent Assassin won a World Cup for South Africa in 1995, then spent the next fifteen years proving character mattered more than the jersey

He skipped his own Invictus premiere to sit with a sick seven-year-old daughter instead. Years later, that same daughter gave a tennis opponent her spare shoes so the match would be fair.

His daughters Zoë and Isabella are both professional tennis players now — Isabella reached the Wimbledon juniors quarter-final and plays NCAA tennis at Auburn, while Zoë is chasing her own career and studying genetics, inspired by the brain tumour that took their father in 2010.
