Life in South Africa will make sense and you will feel a lot less anxious if you accept and understand that there is no real government nor real state institutions here. At the top level, there is a gang of thieves and conmen masquerading as government. They don’t really care…

I was recently in a place where many publicly accessible toilets frequently charge about R2 to use them. This is fine because each one has a caretaker who uses the money to clean and maintain them. The caretaker is often absent but there is usually just a table outside the…

So Cyril is pretending he has no idea why the US is imposing sanctions on them and now that it’s personal he suddenly cares to engage? Didn’t give a shit about what deteriorating relations with the US and harsh tariffs meant for the average South African, but now that it’s…

The South African government “has formally notified Taiwan it will no longer recognise its diplomatic mission in Pretoria, reinforcing its adherence to the “One China” policy.”, Business Day reports. Of course, South Africa was instructed by China to do this. Sickening!

Recently re-read Atlas Shrugged. Detractors make fun of it as a naïve and elitist polemic that oversimplifies the debate between capitalism vs collectivism. Any sensible South African will read it and nod along as it resonates so accurately with our current situation.

Wow. The DA really is coming out of the commie totalitarian closet these days.

If you accept the theory that there is a good chance we live in a simulation, has it occurred to you that this makes us the real AIs?

They don't want to extend driver's licenses to 8 yrs because they'll lose too much money. Then maybe they should have spent some of it on buying more modern, cheaper machines at some point in the last 30 years. Greedy morons. mybroadband.co.za/news/motoring/…

PERFECT (and hilarious) two minute summary of the Covid years. 🤣

"Let me repeat that: Cape Town paid 230 billion rand, and we got back just under 5 billion rand. Cllr Jack Miller - CIP

It just boggles my mind that a governing party that does this kind of thing gets any votes at all in the next election. Yet here we are.... sowetanlive.co.za/news/2025-07-1…

Has Cyril Ramaphosa ever taken unscripted questions from the media in a public forum?

It appears ANC had full knowledge of the Hamas Oct. 7 attacks on Israeli civilians (and others) long before the event happened, and ANC acted as Hamas's primary accomplice in this event. If so, it'll be the ANC's death-knell. On the world stage, nogal. Have DA/VF+/etc a plan?

Helen Suzman’s response in Parliament when accused of asking tough questions the Apartheid government claimed were embarrassing to the country: “it’s not my questions that embarrass South Africa, it is your answers”. 50 years later… Statement by the ANC-led government to DA MP…

Has Britain gone completely mad? They’re lowering the voting age to 16. Can someone explain how a child who pays no tax, has zero lived experience and probably could care less about politics is going to make an informed choice at the polls? If it was up to me I’d raise the…

Most people don’t seem to realize that we already have significant wealth taxes in South Africa. Property rates, progressive income tax, inheritance tax, CGT, even transfer fees, are all inherently wealth taxes. You could even argue that VAT is a wealth tax since the amount you…

The only decrease in an income gap you would celebrate if you were not a rabid racist would be if one group closed it by increasing their income, not that it was closed by the other group getting poorer, largely due to your racist policies against them.

According to two sources close to the situation, not a single US official has seen or heard of Mcebisi Jonas since he was appointed by President Ramaphosa as South Africa's special envoy to the United States in April. This during one of the most serious diplomatic crises South…
