I can confirm that I have received the documents containing detailed information on foreign nationals employed at South Africa's public universities.
According to the records, by 2025 there were more than 7,000 foreign academics employed across public universities, with Zimbabwean nationals accounting for 27% and Nigerians 14% of the total. The University of Johannesburg employed the highest number, with more than 1,400 foreign academics.
I am currently reviewing the extensive documentation and will publish a detailed article with a full breakdown soon.
Special thanks to Chairperson Hon. Letsie, MP, for authorizing the Secretary of the Portfolio Committee on Higher Education to share the documents, making this important information accessible for public scrutiny and reporting.
Kin by Tayari Jones is a masterclass. This summer I just might be my 100 books for the summer goal like I used to before I became a mom. I have had the absolute pleasure of reading some of the most wonderful work these last few weeks. Here is to a summer of getting lost in words.
When does a TFSA make sense for a child?
1. When parents have maxed out their own TFSAs first.
2. If you plan to leave the money alone for decades.
3. If your child/you are unlikely to need to need the money for education or large early-life expenses like a car or home.
4. If you plan to invest the money in capital growth assets like ETFs and not cash.
5. If you plan to invest time & effort into your child's financial education.
If you don't plan to do all 5, leave those kids' limits alone please🥰

You allowed this to happen for too long. From taxi drivers deciding that e-hailing drivers, friends and relatives could not transport people, to this. Videos of non-state actors "enforcing" their jungle law on South African streets have been circulating for so long. These actors were proud of their "law enforcement" and actually recorded it. You and your government were spectators. It is a sign that you were absent or too scared to face the backlash should you act against South Africans breaking the law. It doesn't matter how valid grievances are, NO STATE should quietly watch a parallel state emerge, with non-state actors deciding who belongs snd who doesn't, who must live or die. Your government, led by you, did that.

#MonacoGP 🇲🇨 | Lewis Hamilton on Mercedes:
“It’s going to be hard to beat them [in Barcelona]. They’re just on another level at the moment, which I’m really happy for them. It’s my old family, old team. When they’re at their best… very very hard for anyone to beat.”
Whoever is advising the President is doing him a very HUGE disservice ‼️
The President needs to go back to the drawing board and understand how most of the things he is suggesting won’t even work! He needs to practically take time and go to home affairs, BMA, the border, refugee centres etc and understand the problem before he can even try and provide solutions. The President needs to take time and UNDERSTAND the problem or he will always fall short.
I’m disappointed that he continues to think this is a political and tribal issue…
