Julius Nyerere said in this powerful speech "i reject the glorification of the nation-state that we inherited from colonialism, and the artificial nations we are trying to forge from that inheritance." newafricanmagazine.com/3234/
If the IMF, World Bank etc really aim to benefit the developing world, why is it that they lend forex denominated loans, when they could instead buy local currency and lend to countries with loans denominated in that country’s local sovereign currency. They know that taking on…
Many people liked my column about fake BEE stats. why would anyone believe that R1 trillion was transferred to 100 individuals or that black people own 30% of JSE? DUMA GQUBULE: The voodoo system of accounting for black ownership businesslive.co.za/bd/opinion/202… via @BusinessLiveSA
This is a domkop programme with no results. This year we will have the third consecutive year of GDP growth that is less than one percent. They keep repeating the same failed neoliberal policies Operation Vulindlela: Big on policy but low on results mg.co.za/news/2025-07-2…
This is the full list of countries that can now enter Kenya without a visa. You no longer need to apply for an eTA or pay for anything
It seems they do not say cousin any more. We have overcrowded classrooms, fewer police stations, needs more doctors and nurses. How do you invest in Human Resources and education that he preaches yet cut teachers. Reduce crime with fewer police? news24.com/business/econo…
I don't know why Israel starving Palestinians seems - for the moment - to have caught the world's attention over all the other genocidal acts Israel has committed in this years long genocide, but I don't really care right now.
Hatred for African migrants is what drives many South Africans vote blindly for criminals like Gayton McKenzie and Kenny Kunene. All they had to do is shout "abahambe", and people voted for them
We learn everyday. Yesterday i was at NUM conference. In my commission there was a heated debate about discriminatory body mass index health assessments. People had even been fired. There was a resolution that rejected the BMI and called for holistic health assessments.
We can afford to run elections, build schools, and fulfill the promise of our Constitution. What we can't afford to do is liquidate the state and our democracy by persisting with austerity.
Austerity was always centrally concerned with self destructively damaging state capacity and has always been fundementally anti-democratic. Here, it just happens to be painfully obvious.
The Electoral Commission of South Africa has to cut operational expenses because the “cost of elections is spiralling and very soon we will not be able to afford elections”, the commission’s former GM of operations Granville Abrahams said. timeslive.co.za/sunday-times-d…
How can a political party name itself after MK and then actively support the colonial occupation of the Sahrawi Republic? This is a fatal contradiction. Imagine if someone like Samora Machel had supported Bantustans as a 'solution' to the anti-Apartheid struggle.
I cant understand what is so difficult for the President and the ANC to grow the economy and reduce the unemployment rate They have failed for so long and i do not think they care. Surely it is reasonable to say that they should resign if they cannot achieve this simple task.

The claim that South Africa is the only African state offering free healthcare to foreigners is false. Uganda, Rwanda & Kenya offer free primary care to migrants & refugees in order to affirm their ICESCR obligations to health for ALL.
Ya ne South Africa 🚮
Investec has stated that South Africa's GDP is significantly smaller than it would have been if the country had maintained growth comparable to its emerging market peers. Specifically, Investec estimates that South Africa's economy is 37% smaller than it would have been if it had…
Neo-liberal, "there's in no money", "taxpayers money" drivel. This coming from ZAR Sovereign Currency Issuer who is unrestricted to meet all its financial needs in own currency and is only constrained by inflation. The evil Thatcherite ideology of the ANC and DA is responsible
Privatisation inevitably involves officials taking kickbacks for selling valuable public assets cheaply.

How dilapidated must our public institutions get before @TreasuryRSA stops pretending that the rand issuing state magically has no rand to maintain essential and strategic organs of state?
The head of the South African Navy, Admiral Monde Lobese, accused the National Treasury of sabotaging the South African National Defence Force, risking national security in the face of “forces of doom”. | @gerbjan brnw.ch/21wUgpT
This is bullshit and you know it. Have some shame AOC. I can’t stand MYG but if even she, as reptilian as she iis, has the courage to cut some aid to Israel (however small) then your diatribe is cowardly bullshit in the face of genocide of Palestinians.
You actually voted to aid killing Palestinians. That's the bottomline. You're just as bad as the rest of the Zionist cult. Had high hopes for you, but I guess you're just as compromised.
