🚨 Premier League confirms Manchester City ruled guilty of every charge related to financial rule breaches across 9 seasons + majority of charges on #ManCity failure to co-operate with probe. Situation discussed w/ @JamesHorncastle @kvlmason @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/eqQJBGqzSu

48%.

That is the effective tax burden on someone earning R30,000 a month in South Africa. Same rate as someone earning R432,000 a month in a top European country.

The numbers sound wrong. They are not.

​​Where the 48% comes from.​​

PAYE is what people see on the payslip. It is not the whole picture.

VAT - 15% on almost everything. Every swipe. Every fill-up. Most people do not think of VAT as a tax. It is the largest single source of government revenue after income tax.

Fuel levy - built into every litre. Petrol at R26.92 inland includes roughly R3.80 in fuel levy and Road Accident Fund levy. That is a tax on getting to work.

Then there are the charges that look like fees but function like taxes. E-tolls. Municipal surcharges. Electricity tariffs with embedded levies.

Add the visible and the invisible - you get 48%.

​​The key difference with Europe.​​

In the Netherlands. In Denmark. In Germany. High taxes come with a social contract.

Free tertiary education. Universal healthcare that does not require medical aid. Childcare subsidies. Paid parental leave that covers an actual year. Robust unemployment support.

You pay 45%. And you get services back.

In South Africa you pay 48%. And then you pay again - privately.

Medical aid because public healthcare is collapsed. Security because policing is broken. Private schools because public education cannot be trusted. Solar panels or a generator because Eskom cannot guarantee power. Water tanks because the municipality cannot guarantee supply.

The middle-class earner pays twice. Once in tax. Once in escape.

​​Who actually pays.​​

There are about 8.3 million personal income taxpayers in South Africa. A relatively small slice of the population. The top earners supply most of the revenue.

Corporations optimise. The wealthy structure. Offshore trusts. Semigration. Emigration. The R30,000 earner cannot escape - it comes out before they see the money.

The base is narrow. The burden is concentrated. The services are not.

​​Why it accumulated this way.​​

No one designed this system. It grew.

Income tax funds the general budget. VAT funds the general budget. Fuel levy funds roads and the general budget. Each mechanism made sense when it was introduced. Each one expanded quietly.

Raising income tax visibly upsets people. Raising VAT is less visible - it is embedded in the price. Raising fuel levy is buried in the pump price. Municipal charges are non-negotiable.

The objective was not fairness to the middle class. It was revenue extraction with minimum political friction.

​​The uncomfortable part.​​

This is not a policy failure. It is a policy success. The system extracts efficiently. It offends quietly. And the people who carry it do not have the means to opt out.

The question is not whether 48% is too high.

It is how long the R30,000 earner can pay twice - once in tax and once in escape - before something breaks.

Football is finished, man. Soon, there won’t even be many people left who actually know how to watch it.

Look at Dani Olmo yesterday. He put in a reference level performance as a No.10, one of those games where you can actually learn something by watching him — and barely anyone said a word.

Then you wake up today and X is flooded with posts praising Bellingham.

That’s what football has become for a lot of people. They don’t necessarily talk about the player who actually played the best football; they talk about whoever is more popular, more hyped or gets the most attention.

It’s not about understanding the game anymore. It’s about repeating the names everyone else is talking about.

Olmo can dominate a game technically and tactically, and people will ignore it because he isn’t as popular as Bellingham.

Actually watch football instead of watching the hype.

🚨𝗠𝗔𝗝𝗢𝗥 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: It's reported that, Manchester city paid more than £51m for Erling Haaland, they paid more than what PSG paid for Neymar (€222m) in 2017.

Allegedly, City paid close to €250m but reached a secret agreement with Dortmund not to disclose the actual amount and also, Some journalists were paid to report £51m as the transfer fee.

If you see the white crosses in DC, let me tell you as an Afrikaans South African, there is no “white genocide” or persecution in South Africa. There never has been. Their stunt is to solicit donations and drive an agenda.

Thank you all so much for your incredible support and continued prayers for me. 🙏🏻

I’m grateful to share that I have now been released and am safe with my husband, Michael, in Dubai.

Remote Viewing, Sacred Geometry, 5th Dimension, Astral Projection, Stargate and Third Eye. All means seeing in high definition when you close your eyes.

It can only be accomplished with an activated pineal gland. Our true ancient knowledge of telepathy is returning and this is what the 1% have been keeping hidden from us.

Soon everyone will be talking about human to human telephone aka instant quantum communication through the pineal gland, you just haven’t activated it yet.

Unfortunately it takes three humans who activated their pineal gland to focus their tinnitus frequencies to lock onto yours. These three frequencies travel through the ear down the cochlea to the pineal gland and these invisible frequencies cause the cells in the pineal gland to arrange like cymatics and cracks it open quantum linking the two together with the practitioners that activated you.

Thus, illumation happens, and invisible strings of light travel through your eyes to your pineal gland unlocking aka quantum telepathy and you have telephone/astral projection/ heaps of god like super human abilities.
