The biggest export South Africa never authorised may be its culture.
Our audit of major AI training datasets identified dozens of South African artists appearing across publicly documented training corpora used to develop the next generation of AI music systems.

Morty: Capitalism gives everyone a chance to get rich if they just work hard enough.
Rick: Oh my god, Morty! Capitalism doesn't work if everyone wins. It needs poverty to function. Someone has to take the low-paying jobs so the profits keep flowing upward. If everyone had real financial security, no one would take those positions and the system would collapse.
Morty: But Rick, that's just how the market works. Some people earn more because they provide more value.
Rick: Tell that to the kid assembling your iPhone overseas for pennies while some CEO makes millions off it. Capitalism doesn't reward work, it rewards ownership. You don't climb the ladder by working hard, you climb it by owning the ladder. The workers collectively produce infinitely more value than some shareholder living in the Bahamas.
Morty: Okay, but isn't it about freedom People can still move up if they make good choices. Look at people who came from nothing and became successful, like entrepreneurs or celebrities.
Rick: Those are exceptions, idiot. That's why they're on TV. For every one person who makes it out, millions stay stuck because they never had the same luck, connections, or safety nets. The system needs those stories so people believe it's fair.

Before you wake up, walk, & stand in line to register to vote, remember this. 😢💔
This is why SARS is increasingly viewed to be an oppressive bully.
SARS needs to provide a service. In Switzerland the revenue services send taxpayers thank you letters for paying tax. SARS needs to reform or we will remind it of what happened to the SABC's TV license @sarstax
Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma, leader of the March and March movement, has opened a new TikTok account after her previous profile was banned.
Announcing the new account, Ngobese-Zuma also urged young people to register to vote ahead of upcoming elections
It took three people: Jacinta Ngobeze-Zuma, Ngizwe Mchunu and ‘PhekelaMthakhati’ to force companies to comply with basic employment laws. Meanwhile we have over 400 Members of Parliament who sit idly while companies break laws daily 😪
