I thought I won’t respond because of huge respect I have for TM, I am a Mbekist and an Ankolan. But I have to outline success of the Buffalo:
President Cyril Ramaphosa’s key reported achievements (economy and infrastructure/buildings), in short point form:
Economy
• Attracted over R1.5 trillion in investment pledges through South Africa Investment Conferences since 2018 (with further large pledges such as ~R890 billion at the 6th conference in 2026); hundreds of billions have already flowed into projects.
• Ended prolonged load shedding — the country has gone well over a year (hundreds of consecutive days) without it, supported by Eskom recovery and private generation.
• Launched and advanced Operation Vulindlela structural reforms in electricity, freight logistics/rail, ports, water, telecoms/data costs, and visas to unlock growth.
• Stabilised public debt (now beginning to decline) and achieved primary budget surpluses since 2023.
• Secured South Africa’s removal from the FATF grey list (2025) and its first sovereign credit rating upgrade in over 16 years.
• Introduced the national minimum wage (2018), which raised earnings for a large share of workers.
Infrastructure and Buildings
• Committed more than R1 trillion in public infrastructure investment over three years (roads, dams, ports, rail, energy, water, schools, hospitals, and clinics) — described as one of the largest such programmes in the country’s history.
• Established the Infrastructure Fund and Infrastructure South Africa; the value of Strategic Integrated Projects (SIPs) has grown substantially (from around R340 billion to over R1.3–1.6 trillion).
• Advanced major water projects, including the Umzimvubu/Mzimvubu Water Project (Ntabelanga and Lalini dams in the Eastern Cape) and the Lesotho Highlands Water Project Phase 2 (Polihali Dam).
• Progress on roads (SANRAL upgrades), ports and logistics modernisation (e.g. Durban), renewable energy plants (such as Redstone CSP), the planned Mtentu Bridge (set to be Africa’s tallest), and the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) radio telescope in the Karoo.
• Continued housing delivery and projects such as Cornubia, alongside broader efforts to improve connectivity and service infrastructure.
@reese_704 Well, there’s a chance that the lion and the wolves are so focused on hissing at each other that they don’t even see you. I would try and slip past the lion and then run like crazy.

Building things from faith to sight is the most satisfying experience of living. It's a different kind of magic.
Thrilled at the existence of Fearless Filmmakers, a bold 3-month program in the EC. These storytellers get to produce 2 original short films. From Idea to Screen.🎥✨

MISSING PERSON: The Nxumalo family of Athlone in Pietermaritzburg is asking the public to help it find Ntombi Annalisa Nxumalo (29). She last made contact with them on 18 July 2024 after being paid for her newly found job as a teacher in Johannesburg.
She was preparing to visit home in KwaZulu-Natal.
She alternates as an isiZulu teacher between Laerskool Suidheuwels Primary School and Croestview Primary School in Alberton.
The family has been informed by her colleagues that she moved out of her previously known residence in Joburg after being paid, but nobody knows where she moved to since she didn't disclose it to anyone.
Anyone with information can contact the nearest police station or her family members on 063 934 8035 or 082 070 4893.
