NEW RACE QUOTAS - FULL-SCALE ATTACK ON BUSINESS FREEDOM

Piet le Roux (Sakeliga) & Gerhard Papenfus (NEASA) ⬇️

"Companies in SA are facing the most outrageous — and impossible — diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI) programme in the world"

The National Health Insurance Act (NHI) is a disastrous proposal and must be opposed until it is undone or rendered practically impotent.

@EstateRanger Dont pick up pennies infront of a bulldozer….😎

[Sakeliga @Sakeliga]

Sakeliga rejects the Eskomification of healthcare.

Lifeshedding is not an option.

Join thousands of mission-aligned funders and help Sakeliga resist the NHI and build a state-proof future for healthcare. 🛡️

Fortunately, the EEAA is impossible to implement, unconstitutional, and beyond the enforcement powers of a failing state.

LATEST: What the Employment Equity Amendment Act means and how Sakeliga will oppose it

FULL NOTE: https://t.co/UrBTBo2e1i

Sakeliga will never accept the EEAA and view it as our task to oppose it to the point where it is officially reversed or of no effect.

[Sakeliga @Sakeliga]

Obstructions to alternative supply must be overcome. Those who want to make concrete efforts to generate, distribute, sell or purchase electricity and have specific needs for legal assistance on a principled basis, should approach us. Read more here: https://t.co/ztwVv2oWMC

Incredible how much good content in the Daily Maverick print version. Lovely morning read. Like the good old days of Sunday Times, except Saturday 😀

[Russell Lamberti @RussLamberti]

BEE and local content procurement rules are breaking state institutions and many have been desperate to escape (including De Ruyter and Mantashe), requesting exemptions from National Treasury. They are now free to cut out "non-value-adding intermediaries."

Note the value of strategic litigation! -->
Government admits that @Sakeliga's litigation, to put the municipality's finances under control of external auditors, appointed as a special master by the court, helped trigger the province's belated intervention.

[Piet le Roux @pietleroux]

The state is performing an uncontrolled evacuation of itself from North West, South Africa. The province is disbanding the municipal council, putting nothing in its stead. Sakeliga is pursuing remaining legal avenues to restore temporary order. Long-run answer? State-proofing.

I’m sorry but that was abysmal officiating. You have to hand it to Gatland.

His week long psychological warfare against a fairly simple Afrikaans fellow in the TMO box won his team this Test match.

He was my MoM

[Centre for Risk Analysis @centre_risk]

There are many conspiracy theories being advanced by the South African government and in the media about the causes of last week's riots and looting.

@DavidAnsara & Frans Cronje discuss the real reasons for the violence and why the government was unable to foresee the crisis.

[Darren Olivier @darren_olivier]

The Minister of Defence just told Parliament that the number of SANDF personnel deployed to restore order will be increased to 25 000 for three months. Not all will be ground troops, with some portion in support roles, but it's still the SANDF's biggest deployment since 1994. 1/

The Left (the side of the political horseshoe / möbius strip I identify with) has taken residence in Gloatsville, for obvious reasons. Unsurprisingly, what's being said is serving only to ratify the Right's criticisms. Allow me to get onto my high horse for a quick thread...

Are you one of the lucky few who will survive COVID-19 if you get it?

[Acclaimed Journalist @Jonathan_Witt]

Let’s recap:

- Lockdowns don’t work
- Primary ventilation doesn’t work
- Fabric masks don’t work
- Quarantining the healthy doesn’t work
- Testing asymptomatics doesn’t work
- Hiding for a vaccine doesn’t work
- Banning all travel doesn’t work
- Closing schools doesn’t work

[Acclaimed Journalist @Jonathan_Witt]

Our official guideline for certifying death due to COVID, and also the reason our numbers are almost certainly wrong and inflated.

[Acclaimed Journalist @Jonathan_Witt]

One of the main reasons we have this draconian lockdown and irrational panic is thanks to modeling by the South African COVID-19 Modeling Consortium (Moultrie brothers and co.) which has been so wrong it’s arguably criminal.

Grey, red and blue are their models.
Black is actual.
