My dad's stepfather was a civil engineer in the City
In his belongings was a survey map with a giant empty space where khayelitsha was, with the zone marked "unsuitable for construction"
I am a COMMUNIST,my pain comes from the fact that u guys make uneducated votes because alot of u dont vote based on material gains,u vote based on herd thinking...herd thinking that doesn't even make sense. u are voting for a capitalists as u suffer the conditions of CAPTALISM?🤦🏾
It’s not that property prices and rentals will suddenly become unaffordable. A key part of the DA’s manifesto is restoring fiscal balance through increased revenue collection..
I seem to recall the EFF fighting against the VAT increase, pushing to end data expiry from telecommunications providers, tabling the Insourcing Bill, and tabling the Student Debt Cancellation Bill—all since the 2024 elections . Yet because they don't sing "abahambe," you claim they aren't prioritizing South Africans? Ehh
Our third set of CSIR election modelling predictions are out, completing the provincial predictions. Next up - metros!

“We have a political economy of inefficiency and it’s by design.
We churn out policies like GEAR, RDP, ASGISA, NDP - these give an optical illusion that something is being done.
Where are all these policies today?”

So proud of my wife, Dr Kgwerano Khulu, as she opens her practice at Wits University Donald Gordon Medical Centre. Years of hard work and dedication have led to this moment. Wishing you every success, my love! Please share and help spread the word. ❤️
Last week the Handbook on Energy Transitions in Africa was launched.
I wrote chapter 2: The Geopolitics of Energy in Africa: Resources, Trade and Global Interest.
Dear newsrooms, let's bring back basic research into our profession. SACCUSA is a discredited private NPO run by Neil Diamond (🇿🇦 expat)—a simple search lists his past controversies like municipal land-swap probes to bitter property grab disputes with vulnerable widows. He recently reportedly fabricated a fictitious list of "67,000 Afrikaner refugees" to harvest data, only to be humiliated & publicly bypassed by the US Gov. Please speak to legit business organisations in the USA & SA to get informed, credible & reliable views/data on 🇺🇲🇿🇦 bilateral matters.
2026 has been a year of growth for us @Phungela_ZA 📈

Premier Mbhazima Shilowa and MEC’s Paul Mashatile & Jabu Moleketi did a solid with this one. Mashatile actually saw it through from start to ‘finish”, as MEC and then Premier.
Real legacy work. To more! 🫰🏾🥂

"For years, when Eskom deteriorated under André de Ruyter, we were repeatedly and often correctly reminded of the context he inherited: corruption, sabotage, criminal syndicates, political interference, ageing plants and years of inadequate maintenance.
Yet when Eskom improves under a Black chairperson, a Black chief executive and a predominantly Black executive leadership, suddenly context becomes not mitigation but explanation. The improvement is because of solar. Because of business. Because demand is down. Because of government intervention. Because of reforms already under way. Blah blah blah. And almost on cue, hit pieces from Business Tech, fixating on the CEO’s remuneration, suddenly surface.
South Africa has developed a peculiar evidentiary test for Black competence. Failure tends to come with names attached but success somehow belongs to everyone."
Eskom board chair Mteto Nyati’s public dressing-down plays into an old racial trope https://t.co/XUgqjzFaC0
This is not true, there are some countries where you cannot book things yourself online i.e. Cuba
Also there’s convenience, especially when things go wrong, facilitating refunds etc
They also provide a seamless end to end service without you having to worry about it.
@SABCNews The irony: I haven't seen a single individual give credit to the ANC for this success. But when there are issues, they all blame the ANC even in municipalities that aren't led by the ANC.
