Candace Owens

They can call her crazy, paranoid, bitter or a conspiracy nut job, but they know she's very right about much of the things she says

One of the few media personalities who isn't actually owned

I hope she has serious security around herself and family, because she's a threat to the "elites"

This “matrix” looks neat, but it’s shallow. It cherry-picks indicators, ignores context, and pretends every presidency started on a clean slate.

First, context matters. de Klerk ruled the final years of apartheid, under sanctions, capital flight, a shrinking tax base, and structurally engineered inequality. Comparing his numbers directly with democratic administrations without acknowledging that distortion is misleading from the start.

Second, Mandela didn’t inherit a normal economy. He inherited a racially exclusive one. GDP growth of 3% in a transition economy rebuilding institutions, expanding social grants, electrification, housing, and access to water wasn’t “business as usual” growth; it was structural stabilization. Debt falling slightly during that period reflected fiscal caution, not a miracle reset.

Mbeki governed during a global commodity supercycle. China’s industrial boom lifted demand for minerals. Growth across many emerging markets was strong in that era. Yes, debt fell significantly and growth averaged above 4%, which is real credit to fiscal discipline and macro management. But it wasn’t created in a vacuum because global tailwinds matter. And unemployment remaining above 20% during peak growth years tells you growth wasn’t deeply labour-absorbing.

Motlanthe presidency was a caretaker, which gave us institutional and governance stability and continuity, that played a significant role in respect.

Then came Zuma in 2009 who started in the shadow of the 2008 global financial crisis. Every major economy contracted or slowed sharply. Growth dropping to under 2% can’t be separated from global recession and yes even domestic governance failures. Debt rising after 2009 also reflects stimulus spending and weaker revenue collection, not just corruption alone, though governance deterioration undeniably compounded the damage.

Ramaphosa inherited many crisises which government was slow or unable to coherently address, and not forgetting the largest global economic shutdown in a century. GDP numbers from 2020 alone distort any simple average. Debt jumping post-2020 happened worldwide due to pandemic spending. Murder rate spikes post-2020 also correlate with social stress, policing strain, and inequality shocks amplified by lockdown disruptions.

Now let’s talk about what that “matrix” ignores:

• Inequality (SA remains one of the highest Gini coefficient countries globally; across all administrations).
• Poverty headcount trends.
• Social grant expansion (now supporting over 18 million people).
• Electrification rates.
• Access to water and sanitation.
• Black middle-class expansion post-1994.
• Asset ownership shifts.

If we’re serious about “who improved anything,” the real question isn’t just GDP growth. It’s: growth for who?

Did macro stability under Mbeki benefit markets and big business? Yes. Did millions gain housing, electricity and social protection under Mandela and subsequent administrations? Also yes.
Did structural unemployment remain stubbornly high across all administrations? Yes.

The colonial-apartheid economy was designed for extraction and minority enrichment. None of these presidents fully dismantled that structure. Some stabilized it. Some expanded access to its benefits. None fundamentally transformed ownership patterns at scale.

So declaring “MBEKI is the best” based only on GDP, debt and murder rates ignores global cycles, inherited structural inequality, and distributional outcomes. It also ignores that growth without structural employment absorption leaves the majority excluded.

If you want a serious diagnosis, measure:

1. Growth quality (labour intensity).
2. Inequality trends.
3. Public service expansion.
4. Institutional integrity.
5. Long-term structural reform.

Politics isn’t a spreadsheet competition. It’s about who materially shifted the structure of opportunity for the majority.
And on that question, the debate is far more complex than a X matrix.

🚨 JUST IN: Canada just sent the clearest warning yet to Trump’s “take Greenland” fantasy.

PM Mark Carney: “Our full partnership and obligations to Article 5 stand. We stand FULLY BEHIND them.”

Translation: Canada will back Denmark and NATO if the U.S. tries to annex Greenland.

This isn’t a policy dispute anymore. It’s America vs. its own allies.

Venezuela has the highest oil reserves in the world at 303 billion barrels.

After sanctioning Venezuela & not allowing them to export crude to the USA, where it gets refined, China, Russia & Iran started getting closer to Venezuela to assist.

Trump claims that the Venezuelan president is a dictator & a drug cartel head. He claims all the boats they've bombed are drug boats & the lives lost on those boats are worth it.

I don't trust Trump.
I don't trust the USA.

I know they manufacture false propaganda like they did with White Genocide in South Africa.

I know they use local voices to make their propaganda seem legit, like Afriforum & Solidarity in SA.

Trump & the USA are always after money. They don't give 2 shits about helping other nations.

With that said, I wouldn't defend the Venezuelan govt... they may indeed be corrupt. They may be pushing drugs. They may be oppressing their own ppl.

We've seen this in Zimbabwe. We see it in SA with the ANC creating BEE fat cats, while letting their ppl languish in poverty, blackouts, high unemployment & an influx of undocumented foreigners who provide cheap exploited labour & help make money in the black market.

The world is a mess and nothing is going to change. I don't care about President Maduro. I don't care about President Trump.

I feel sorry for poor, innocent ppl in Venezuela, who are victims of global corruption, ruthless capitalists and false propaganda from all sides. Good, hardworking ppl, who just want to live in safe communities, do honest work & live dignified lives.
