Today, President @CyrilRamaphosa visited Zimbabwe and was photographed with Wicknell Chivayo, a man currently under investigation by South Africa's own FIC for allegedly laundering over R800 million in Zimbabwean public funds.

South Africa's Financial Intelligence Centre found that over R1.1 billion from Zimbabwe's Ministry of Finance @ZimTreasury flowed into a South African printing company, with more than R800 million rapidly transferred into accounts belonging to Chivayo-linked companies.

The Hawks, SARS and SAPS are all involved. A South African High Court has already frozen Chivayo's bank accounts at FNB, Absa and Standard Bank and grounded his private jet in a case brought by his estranged wife Louise Sonja Madzikanda.

But it gets worse.

Wicknell's younger brother, Joachim 'G6' Chivayo, was arrested in November 2024 by the Hawks' Serious Organised Crime Unit in Brakpan for possession of six gold bars worth approximately R15 million. He was granted bail of R20,000 with strict conditions; he could not leave Gauteng or South Africa. He then failed to appear in court, and a warrant of arrest was issued against him on March 11, 2025.

He jumped the border and never came back.

Joachim Chivayo was subsequently appointed ZANU-PF's deputy secretary for information and publicity in Harare province in September 2025, a fugitive from South African justice, rewarded with a political position.

So here is the full picture: South Africa's FIC is actively investigating the elder Chivayo. South Africa's Hawks have an outstanding warrant for the younger Chivayo. A South African court has frozen the family's assets. And Ramaphosa flew to Zimbabwe and posed for photographs with the man at the centre of all of it.

What does this say about South Africa's rule of law?

When a sitting president shares a frame with someone his own country's financial intelligence unit is investigating for money laundering and whose fugitive brother is sheltered by the very government hosting that visit, the message sent to criminals everywhere is clear: connections trump consequences.

You genuinely cannot make this up. 🇿🇦🇿🇼 @Leon_Schreib @Sophie_Mokoena

Can we just remind everyone that this man got caught stashing bucketloads of undeclared foreign currency in his couch with zero consequences.

But apparently if mere citizens legally buy crypto and store it on their own devices, they're the problem.

This madness also extends to foreign assets and gold, btw.

National Treasury has proposed giving itself the power to expropriate people's crypto assets should they hold more than a certain amount. https://t.co/e2atcWV1iN

Julius Malema is practically gloating, his chest puffed out now that Panyaza Lesufi has effectively handed the keys to Gauteng’s R180 billion treasury over to the EFF. In a move dripping with political swagger, Malema has summoned Nkululeko Dunga to the frontlines, ready to unveil him as the new gatekeeper of the province’s wealth.

This isn’t just a promotion; it’s an initiation. Malema is ushering Dunga into the smoke-filled rooms of the "gentlemen’s club"—the Bakgalabe—to rub shoulders with Joe Ferrari and the shadow elite who truly pull the strings. With Dunga now gripping the purse strings of a massive R180 billion budget, the stage is set: the "ghost companies" are already beginning to stir in the shadows. We are witnessing the raw, systematic capture of Gauteng in real-time, as they bypass the politics and go straight for the jugular—the provincial coffers

What a fokken disappointment you are @GaytonMcK. I liked your energy and against my better judgement gave you the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately you are just another polical puppet in it JUST for yourself. Everyone in this room is just putting on a show to appease the masses while engaging in the most demonic, most digusting, most decrepit circle jerk. Fokken siek man, fokken gross, sis.

When a country needs to tax its citizens even more, when they are already paying exorbitant taxes, and in return for little, as regards services, they need to start asking some long and hard questions…

1. Why is our tax base so small?
Have we failed to grow the economy through attracting domestic and foreign investment?

2. Is our foreign policy investment friendly? Well, when you deliberately alienate your second biggest trade partner, and that directly responsible for 250 000 jobs through AGOA alone, you need to consider the wisdom of your approach?

3. Are our domestic policies and acts, investment friendly or increasingly unfriendly? Do they foster trust and confidence in the Government as a safe haven to place hard-earned funds?

4. Are we incentivising or disincentivising our top tax payers? Are we killing the geese that lay the golden eggs? And is it fair?

I have no problem paying my current and very high PAYE, dividends withholding tax, Capital Gains Tax, Company tax, VAT, Estate duty etc in trying to create a more shared and inclusive economy.

But when the Government makes incredibly investment unfriendly decisions, and then when our tax money is not deployed judiciously and effectively, then it becomes hugely problematic for the country.

Increasing tax is always a sign of policy trouble. As Margaret Thatcher said “The problem with socialism, is that you eventually run out of other people’s money”.

Love her or loathe her, she was right about that.

Must really suck to be on the left right now, anywhere in the world. Losing, losing, losing. It’s a dumpster-fire of epic proportions. Reality has come to dismantle idiotic fantasy, and not a moment too soon.

5/14 There is a delusion that govt should build houses for everyone. This is totally unaffordable in a country of 62-million people with a mere 7,5-million registered personal taxpayers. When people get a free house AND free services, it bankrupts the municipality too.

@Wizards how on earth do you still have a bug in a game where you pay money to play a premium draft and the game will disconnect you and assess you with a loss? 3rd time happening. @MTG_Arena
No option to reconnect either. Internet connection stable. Nice way to take money

When DA nearly got 4 million votes in 2019 no one questioned where they got them, but today we are being bombarded with questions of where DA got over 2 million votes!?
Who said people who voted DA in 2019 have passed away?

I am no DA influencer but people must not be idiots.
