Unless your medical aid has unlimited cover you’re going to exhaust a million in 28 days.

A Malawian illegal foreigner says that other Africans tell each other South Africa's laws are lax, which is why most of them come here, they get to do whatever they want. He says he's been caught at the border many times, yet he's still a free man. 😳😳😳

Do you remember when FNB launched South Africa's first interest-only home loan for under-35s?

It allows graduates and young professionals two years of reduced repayments with loans up to 110% of property value.

Someone on the radio gave the best analogy of immigration with the example of a guest who arrives just before your family is about to dish up: Ubuntu says share the meat, but it doesn't stop everyone from resenting the guest, because that's one or two fewer pieces of meat to share with the family.

The moment the guest sits down, an invisible calculation begins. The family doesn’t stop loving each other they just notice the portions are smaller. This is the core tension in resource sharing: it isn’t the sharing that breeds resentment, it is the permanence of the reduction. Whether it’s jobs, housing, school places, hospital beds, or social grants every additional person is a fraction less for everyone already at the table.

On the food analogy, the children at the table feel the resentment most acutely; they are closest to the shrinking portions, the most vocal, the most restless. But no matter how deep that frustration runs, it is not their place to drag the guest out. Violence, intimidation, or mob action are not tools the children get to reach for, however justified their anger feels in the moment.

That responsibility belongs to the elders. The parents, the heads of the household those with the authority, the standing, and the wisdom to handle the situation with dignity. They decide when the guest has overstayed, they have the conversation, and they facilitate the departure firmly if necessary, but without chaos and without blood- and this is where as South Africans lose each other and I think with politicians involved it’s intentional.

So after decades of “anti-colonial” rhetoric, Zimbabwe is returning European-owned farms to secure debt relief from Western lenders.

This is what happens when economic collapse leaves a country with no leverage. Sovereignty starts being negotiated through debt restructuring meetings.

CASE UPDATE: Who is responsible for the residential building collapse in George that took the lives of 34 construction workers?

This 5-storey development collapsed in less than 2 seconds precisely one year ago on the 6th of May 2024 while under construction in George, Western Cape.

Rescue teams were at the scene for over a week to help survivors out of 6000 tonnes of rubble. The devastating collapse took the lives of 34 construction workers and injured 28 people.

The residential development known as 75 Victoria was due to be completed in July 2024. Two-bedroom apartments for sale in this development were previously advertised at R1.7 million each.

The National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC) and SAPS have been conducting a forensic investigation since the day of the collapse. To date, it has only been concluded that the cause of this building’s collapse was non-compliance with regulatory building standards, safety violations, unqualified personnel, and registration irregularities.

Moreover, they discovered problems with the approval process for construction plans throughout the project, as well as inaccurate statements from the construction company about what they could do and their overall capabilities. George Municipality also approved building plans while construction was already well underway.

The Western Cape Government also initiated their own independent investigation, and the findings were completed in January 2025. To date, their final report has remained under wraps and is now sitting with SAPS.

Unfortunately, the issues mentioned above relate more to administrative matters rather than to the actual reasons behind the building’s collapse. It’s a structural failure, and whose fault is that? We still require clarity on the cause of the collapse and who is ultimately responsible for it. Time will tell…

Some survivors are still recovering from this devastating collapse, and many remain unemployed. I watched a few of their most recent interviews, and it’s a painful watch to see their slow recovery, rising medical bills and the effect it’s having on their families. One survivor remained trapped under the rubble for 118 hours before he was found. I hope the victims and their families get justice soon.

Nike spent ten years trying to break the 2-hour marathon. They named a project after it. They built special shoes. They paid the greatest marathoner alive to chase it. Yesterday, a Kenyan runner finally did it in 1:59:30, wearing Adidas.

Sabastian Sawe used to be a pacemaker. A pacemaker is the kind of runner you hire to set the speed for the first few miles of a race and then drop out before the finish. In January 2022, Sawe got booked to do exactly that at a half-marathon in Spain. He'd never raced more than three miles in his life. He stayed in for the full 13 and won the whole thing. Adidas signed him not long after. Four years later, he became the first human ever to run an official marathon under 2 hours.

Nike, meanwhile, started this whole project in 2016 with a public goal called "Breaking2." They paid for the shoes, the pacemakers, the science labs, and Eliud Kipchoge himself. Kipchoge ran 1:59:40 in Vienna in 2019, but the event was a closed-course exhibition with rotating pacemakers and a pace car projecting a green laser line onto the road. The sport's governing body never recognized it as a real race. It didn't count.

Then Nike's running business cratered. Digital sales fell 26% in one quarter. Their share of footwear sold at Dick's Sporting Goods went from 39% to 32% in five months. On Running grew from $330 million to $1.8 billion between 2020 and 2025. Hoka nearly quadrupled. Roger Federer left Nike for On. Nike's board fired the CEO in October 2024.

Adidas spent the same period building a better shoe. The new Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3 took three years to develop. It weighs 97 grams, about 3.4 ounces, lighter than a deck of cards. A Wall Street Journal-cited study found that wearing a shoe 3.5 ounces lighter saves a runner around 57 seconds across a marathon. Sawe beat the third-place finisher by 58 seconds.

Adidas also did something Nike never did for Kipchoge. They wrote a $50,000 check to the official anti-doping body for track and field, asking it to test Sawe more aggressively than any other runner alive. He got tested 25 times in the two months before last year's Berlin Marathon, and Adidas signed up to fund this for the length of his contract. The logic: the moment Sawe ran a marathon this fast, the world was going to ask if he cheated, especially after his countrywoman Ruth Chepngetich got a 3-year doping ban in 2025. Adidas got out ahead of it.

The shoe retails at $500 and is barely available. Adidas's Adizero shoes won half of all major marathon races in 2024. Yesterday in London, four of the top five finishers wore the same Adidas shoe. Yomif Kejelcha crossed the line 11 seconds after Sawe and also broke 2 hours. The top three runners all beat the previous world record.

Nike's only response was an Instagram post. Three sentences long: "The clock has been reset. There is no finish line." That was their entire public reaction to losing a 10-year moonshot to their biggest rival.
