@CoruscaKhaya I am reminded of Milton Friedman

@kimheller3 The Duke of Magoebaskloof used to refer to Rwanda for such a reason and he was right !

A good day for SA journalism: the relaunched Financial Mail (where I worked in the 1980s) after merging (reuniting) with the brilliant Currency team. Good luck! https://t.co/SiuQml5gMA

DL Hughley on Zohran Mamdani: “This Muslim is putting Christians to shame. There is more to say for a man that lifts the poor, that feeds the hungry, that walks among the people, than powerful white men who consort with a pedophile. Who’s the more Christlike?”

Korry is 17 years old and he just scored a perfect 1600 on the SAT. Fewer than 0.05% of all test takers ever reach that score. His mother said it best. In a world where it can go a different way for a young Black male, it's refreshing to see him celebrated. Korry wants to study engineering at Yale and then go to law school. The sky holds no limit for this young king! 👏🏿

Yoh. I’m not sure everyone appreciates just how diabolical Andrea Johnson appears to be.

If the evidence is accurate, she successfully manipulated the NDPP, a political party, two top investigative journalists, and lied to an Ad Hoc Committee in Parliament - all highly experienced, consummate BS detectors. She bypassed their psychological security against manipulation. That is an extraordinary feat.

I mean, reputations were put on the line to defend her. She was even hailed as a modern-day Winnie Mandela, all while concealing dastardly and devious deeds.

As an avid watcher of true crime documentaries… 🙂‍↔️ Dearly beloved, if the allegations are true, that is one highly dangerous woman.

Random facts: In South Africa, a participant may lawfully record a conversation without the other party’s knowledge or consent. RICA s 4(1) expressly permits interception by a ‘party to the communication’ (unless done to commit an offence). Also see in S v Kidson 1999 (1) SACR 338 (W). You are not “bugging” anybody. As long as one participant permits and knows. Basically. These are typically referred to as “participant recordings”. It’s kind of like digitising your memory or written notes you take when at a meeting and then being sure of what transpired. 🙏

I miss our Uncle T, man. A Twitter legend who built a community around sharing photos of his terrible cooking because he knew they made us laugh. A man authentically himself sharing the simple pleasures of post-politics life. RIP, Governor! Siyak’mista.🕯️🕊️🧄
