Daily Maverick refuses to erect a paywall because a country this unequal cannot afford an information class system. Journalism behind a paywall is not a public good by definition, even though it may still generate societal value once others pick it up and extend it on to other platforms. We need a system that makes it more viable to make more journalism freely accessible to the public, and books more accessible to readers.

Some call her a psycho, others label her a Karen.
I call her brave.
Before you label her in a negative way I have a question for you..
"Do you have the testicular fortitude to call out corruption?"
If you don't - sit down!

🇿🇦 Illegal Mining and Excavation beneath the M2 Highway Bridge in Johannesburg have created deep cavities and compromised the bridge's support structures, posing a significant safety risk to thousands of daily commuters‼️
The Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) warns that these activities are part of a broader "iceberg" of underground damage caused by zama zamas illegally extracting gold from old mine shafts and blasting support pillars.
Extensive tunnelling has led to sinkholes, road collapses, and partial collapses of bridge abutments in areas like Selby, Booysens and along Heidelberg Road.

If you want to know what sort of person DAVID NIVEN (who left us 43yrs ago today, aged 73) was, the largest wreath at his funeral was from the Porters at Heathrow Airport.

It read:

“To the finest gentleman who ever walked through these halls. He made a Porter feel like a King.”

@bensmithrugby That’s a lie. A lot of us respect the very strong chances and acknowledge that the AB team this season is vastly improved and will be a massive threat. Everyone I speak to in SA echoes similar sentiments. Your assertion is sensationalist and non-factual

South Africans, at what point do we admit that we have normalised failure?

How do we accept a system where citizens can lose up to 41% of their salaries to tax, yet corruption continues to thrive, rural roads remain undrivable, municipalities collapse, and local councillors operate with little to no accountability?

Taxation without visible service delivery is not governance; it is betrayal.

This country does not lack money. It lacks ethical leadership, consequence management, and political will. We cannot keep comparing ourselves to countries like Qatar and pretending the difference is luck. The difference is leadership, planning, discipline and accountability.

South Africa deserves a government that respects every rand taken from its people. The amount of tax we are paying is just insane😭💔

Thank you for making the Nedbank International Polo 2026 such a vivid, unforgettable experience.

This isn’t goodbye!
It’s simply, “see you next time”.
Stay tuned for more.

@abelmike So sad to hear about his loss Mike. An ardent art collector also. We shared a deep love for Ephraim Ngatane’s work

I would love to know how much revenue the Bojanala District Municipality generates from municipal rates from all these massive mining operations!!!! Must be very lucrative. You’d think they’ll invest in infrastructure and roads/sewerage system. Looks a mess after the rains

@Airports_ZA Thank you for the response. Both domestic and international departures. At int’l, the lady pointed to a bottle of sanitizer some distance from her. Domestic they didn’t even bother explaining themselves. Instead, retorted aggressively with “I’m doing my job”

[Obsessed with Sparks Kamuzu Banda @cikodealer]

Can the @Airports_ZA security personnel use safety latex rubber hand gloves before they start picking on passengers hand luggage??? Just feels plain dirty to have an utter stranger picking through personal effects the way they do without any visible sanitation. PLEASE

Standard Bank Faces Backlash Over Rising Fraud Complaints and Customer Concerns

As digital banking expands across South Africa, financial institutions are under increasing pressure to strengthen security systems and respond quickly to fraud complaints.

Standard Bank Group, one of the largest financial institutions in South Africa, is facing growing backlash from customers and public commentators over the increasing number of fraud complaints linked to bank accounts and security breaches.

The criticism has intensified in recent months as reports of scams, account compromises, and alleged internal vulnerabilities continue to surface.

Many customers have taken to social media and consumer platforms to report incidents of fraud involving their accounts. Complaints range from unauthorised transactions and phishing scams to alleged delays in resolving disputes with the bank.

Cybercriminals have increasingly targeted bank clients using sophisticated methods such as phishing, vishing (voice phishing), and spoofing, where scammers impersonate legitimate bank officials to trick victims into revealing sensitive information. According to Standard Bank’s fraud risk management division, the use of AI-generated voices, fake emails, and manipulated caller IDs has made these scams significantly harder for customers to identify.

Bank officials say fraud cases often spike during periods of financial stress.

Adding to the bank’s reputational challenges are reports of internal fraud incidents. In one case, a former IT operator allegedly manipulated the bank’s systems to extend overdraft facilities on his own account, resulting in losses exceeding R1.9 million for the bank.

Separately, a court ruling in 2025 ordered the bank to repay more than R2.1 million that had been paid out to a fake executor from a deceased estate, highlighting weaknesses in verification processes.

The bank has also recently been caught in a political controversy involving allegations that confidential client information may have been shared during a public dispute involving an MP. The claims triggered backlash online, with some questioning whether the bank had violated privacy rules.

Standard Bank has however denied the allegations and reiterated that it strictly follows the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), stating that client data is never disclosed unless legally required.

These cases have fuelled public debate about whether banks are doing enough to protect customers from fraud.
