Hi South Africans ๐ฟ๐ฆ
I just thought you guys would want to know that your IDs are being produced in NIGERIA and being sent all around the world so they can gain access in other countries and then call you Xenophobic โผ๏ธโผ๏ธ And then your @GovernmentZA will pretend not to know or see all of this, the same way they donโt see Sizokthola๐ค
Letsile Tebogo ๐ง๐ผ wins the men's 200m at the Lausanne Diamond League in 19.87s (-0.3).
Sinesipho Dambile ๐ฟ๐ฆ was 2nd in 19.98s, while Makanakaishe Charamba ๐ฟ๐ผ came from behind for 3rd in 20.14s.
A Southern Africa 1-2-3.
A Big Mac costs R56.90 in South Africa and $6.22 in the United States.
This translates to ZAR9.14/USD under purchasing power parity. But the market says R16.01 on a Friday afternoon. The difference might be some combination of emerging market discount, policy uncertainty, and country-specific risk.
I've got a 15-handle on the rand (not a forecast, insert smiley).

In July 2025, Eskom bought 40 million litres of diesel from a supplier. It recorded it as โreceivedโ it in its books and paid R721-million. But a year later, the diesel โ now worth R1-billion โ has not been delivered.ย
Three weeks ago, Eskom released a quiet press statement saying: โEskom โฆ received an independent verification report confirming that there were no discrepancies between the diesel delivered or available to Eskom and the amounts paidโ.
But amaBhunganeโs investigation digs deeper, exposing how Eskom prepaid hundreds of millions for little more than an IOU for diesel to be delivered at a later stage.ย
