@CityofCT Good day. Thank you for coming back 2 me. I was advised by both Brackenfell & Kraaifontein that the City's credit control and debt collection plan has been revised. They are saying it's a new policy of the city of Cape Town. It was after I spoke to them that I asked for clarity.
@brettherron@HellenZille@CityofCT Could you please clarify the city of Cape Town debt collection plan. The city is deducting 70% without warning from prepaid electricity on a bill that is due by one month. They say accounts must be paid before the payable by date. Is this ok?
I feel profiled by the city of Cape Town. My account was up to date on the 20th of November 2024, yet they sent me an email telling me about the pattern of December 2023 and January 2024. This is a harassment. Why do some people receive warnings after the bill is due by 3 months?
Why is the idea of South Africa contested? That is the question we attempt to answer in this book. Among many, the book engages with manifestations of settler colonialism, South Africa’s place in global capitalism, the land question, resistance & national development trajectories
I can hardly think of anything I am proud of than these two bold moves:
1. risked everything (reputation and resources) and chose to take the fight against Maponga on behalf of all LGBTQ+
2. took a bold step to confront rape that was happening in my church...
No. When you win, you are happy. When you lose you are unhappy. Courts make judgments; we reflect on their judgments based on what we think about them. This is normal. Law academics do it ALL the time. They build careers on it. They just use scholarly language to make their point

Did you know that in March 2017 President Jacob Zuma recalled Pravin Gordhan from an investor roadshow to London & the US because Zuma alleged that he had an intelligence report that Gordhan & Jonas were using the trip to mobilise prominent people in London and the US to overthrow the state?
Gordhan travelled with business leaders and trade unionists.
Gordhan was subsequently fired as Minister of Finance.

South Africa does not have a bloated civil service. Common sense should remind you of this each time you queue for hours on end...

Great article by my favourite China economist. I never doubted China would achieve its 2023 GDP target of about 5%. To emulate China SA must have GDP target that is binding on Treasury and SARB. Without one we will keep failing as we have during the "30 wasted years" of ANC rule
