South Africa scored 3.9 out of 10 on the 2026 National Entrepreneurship Context Index (NECI), ranking as the seventh weakest entrepreneurial ecosystem globally out of 56 economies assessed.

Not surprising.

I miss proper Jhb parties…

Going somewhere & seeing people know and that Hip Hop & House music combo doing the things.

I miss Taboo, Black O, Latinova, Icon & pop bottles.

Seems employers hate it when you as an employee have game outside of them. Makes no sense.

Especially in this economy

[Anele Mdoda @Anele]

You can’t demand an employee’s full attention while paying them half a living. If you want exclusivity, make the salary exclusive.

[eNCA @eNCA]

During the Madlanga Commission's proceedings, a recorded cellphone conversation between Drushantha Ramsamy and former IDAC head Andrea Johnson was presented. In this exchange, Johnson seemingly explored options to exempt Ramsamy from testifying before the commission. This conversation reportedly occurred on a day when Johnson herself was providing testimony to the commission. Tune in to #eNCA on #DStv403

Given the projections of the life we are currently living one thing is clear:

The age of ownership is dead.
Affordability index will insure that in future every is leased in the same way we are now forced to license music & video consumption.

All physical ownership will be optimised for the facilitating of lease agreements on everything in terms of subscriptions.
Already our devices are about making sure we are dependent on subscriptions for experiences.

Home ownership, tvs, phones are all part of the game now. Nobody also will want to commit to long term purchases as job security dwindles.

My girlfriend will sit on heavy news/tea and wait a day or 2 to tell me with extreme passion as if she just found out now. 😂😂😂

In the end our country is forever adapting to changes in the market but we are creating very little value over the long term.

As a result, only the few that are able to adapt to market changes or create unique value will be able to eat.

Increase your income as aggressively as you manage your expenses. Frugality has a ceiling, your ability to earn does not.
