@kingbolumbu @myles_premium_ Now imagine if America, as a whole, took football seriously and put their best athletes from a young age in academies that have the resources and facilities that their college system does

@theashrb I’d take it, but this is just an idea from a think tank, there’s no way government will actually adopt it. Pensioners almost toppled the government over the winter fuel allowance. Can you imagine what they’ll do if young people get (what boomers perceive to be) a freebie?

@QaanitahHunter If anything, this would prove that BEE only helps the elites and politically connected. I support transformation but the current framework is just an ANC cash cow

@bocasho_braaf We also don’t need to manufacture everything. We just need to leverage the resources we have to produce what makes the most commercial sense. The think tanks will cry communism, but government can also slap tariffs on certain goods, like steel, to stop China dumping goods here

@bocasho_braaf They usually show it at the Melrose Arch, although I’d arrive a little early because the crowds can get big

@Malatjie_ The major European leagues do a version of this every season , that’s why Lyle and Ime knew what to do.

@Reece_Parkinson @_Unknown_D_ You Elon fanboys are insufferable 😂😂😂

@bocasho_braaf @feziledhlamini_ Give the major players some kind of tax incentive to move production to SA. That, plus proximity to the minerals could make us a major production and export hub

[m. @WhyAlwaysMoe_]

@bocasho_braaf We have a decent amount of industrial capacity and expertise (for now), we might be able to do that just by decreasing industrial energy costs and eventually slapping tariffs on imported goods that we want to be produced locally

@talkcentss I get you, but upskilling/retraining usually takes time and money. How many people can afford to take time out of work or pay for extra courses, especially those working in retail?

[m. @WhyAlwaysMoe_]

@bocasho_braaf @MxolisiBob 100%. It would be genuinely transformational. But how do you convince politicians, especially people like King Mswati, to join in? Maybe retaining devolved parliaments in each state, like they have in Scotland?

[m. @WhyAlwaysMoe_]

@bocasho_braaf Sometimes I wonder if they intentionally ignore the issue, but my current view is that they’re just too greedy and incompetent to create and implement a strategy that transformational. They’re too busy eating

[m. @WhyAlwaysMoe_]

@bocasho_braaf Mozambique just banned the export of raw minerals that aren’t processed/refined locally, but we’ll never get that because our government is asleep and a certain group of people will lecture us about free markets

[m. @WhyAlwaysMoe_]

@MxolisiBob Even if she was telling the truth, the difference is that China first invested in the industries that would eventually employ their graduates. We need to start with industrialisation. What’s the point in churning out graduates when there aren’t enough prospective employers?

@SLe32029 Shabba is still eating from that goal in 2010 🔥

[m. @WhyAlwaysMoe_]

@bocasho_braaf We should trade with everyone anyway, but in my experience American companies take a longer term view when investing and contribute more to local development and training than Chinese firms do. We just need to hold on until their leader changes, then the relationship will reset

@KickOffMagazine He’s not wrong. I went to Mexico last year. Once you leave Mexico City or your resort you are in one of the scariest places on earth. It makes SA looks like a walk in the park.

@JoeFerg58678029 @KickOffMagazine He’s not wrong. I went to Mexico last year. Once you leave Mexico City you are in a lawless country. Genuinely, one one the scariest places on earth. It makes SA looks like a walk in the park.
