@WarrenRcomedian @Lolita721611021 You send your children to 0 fee schools, have no medical aid, no private security, no property insurance, no life insurance and you use only public transport. Well done!

BEE has cost South Africa roughly R5 trillion in lost economic activity, while black poverty has worsened.

Only a small, politically connected elite has benefited. “This is a feature, not a bug,” says FMF CEO @DavidAnsara.

It's the ANC's birthday today!

No need to buy them a present, they have already stolen one for themselves.

The United States and South African officials reached an agreement during a closed-door meeting in late December to allow America to continue its controversial effort to bring white South Africans to the U.S. as refugees.

We're not using the harbour, are we? Do we still have a navy? Maybe we can make a few bucks. They can have a last hoorah before those ships get "confiscated".

Chinese and Russian warships are docked in Simon’s Town, and Iranian vessels have arrived.

This is not what “non-alignment" looks like.

@AdriaanBasson @elonmusk @TimPlewman I think the anti-black laws were way more extreme under apartheid. The number of laws might be correct. I'm not sure.

It's still a valid point that racial discrimination under law is wrong. Especially 32 years after apartheid ended.

[Ernst Roets @ErnstRoets]

We should all be vehemently in favour of the pursuit to eradicate poverty and unemployment. This requires good education, good policies and people willing to develop their skills, work hard and live within their means.

Unfortunately, too many people want us to believe that poverty, unemployment and inequality are synonymous. I suspect it's because many on the Left are more driven by hatred for the "haves" than empathy and support for the "have nots".

And so, they frame the pursuit to eradicate poverty (which is attainable) as a pursuit for equality of outcome (which is unattainable). In this pursuit, they would like us to believe the solution is government intervention at the expense of property rights, and freedom in the market. The consequence is never that higher levels of equality is achieved, but it always leads to higher levels of poverty and unemployment.

So, ironically, the pursuit of equality has become a pursuit to increase poverty and unemployment.

It's really not rocket science, but people respond to this very basic idea aggressively, because their ideology dictates that they should sacrifice reality on the altar of political theory.

@SongezoZibi Don't worry. We don't have oil.

Would be nice if we did, but we don't.
