If only government focused as hard on creating jobs as they do on making it less attractive to employ people.

In July 2025, South Africa's Transport Minister, Barbara Creecy, told Parliament that South African Airways was "operating independently" and no longer relied on government guarantees.
This week? A brand-new R1 billion government guarantee for SAA.
When you break down the numbers, a profit helped by one-offs is a bit like a salary boosted by selling the couch. Nice month, hard to repeat.
Catch the full breakdown in my latest video, link in comments.

I never hear the President lecture illegal aliens the way he lectures South Africans 🙄🚮
South Africa is NOT race regulated you say? 🫤
Except now they've changed the wording to say "historically disadvantaged". Then why is it called BBBEE? Broad based BLACK economic empowerment. Or has cyril finally come to his senses?
Nice try. But no.
Internet service providers and network operators in South Africa that are not 30% owned by historically disadvantaged groups will have to shut down when their licences come up for renewal in 2028.

Only in South Africa does the failure of government become the argument for expanding government.

My fellow South Africans
We stole your electricity
We stole your oil reserve
We stole your airline
We stole your railways
We stole your roads
We stole your education
We stole your jobs
We stole your hope
We stole your safety.
Please give us a few more years.
Trusting the ANC
Asked why people should continue trusting the ANC, Ramaphosa said the party has a record of running the country for the past 32 years.
“Well, the ANC has been running government for 32 years and the transformation that we see in our country, whether people like it or not, whether they hate the ANC or not, has been brought about by the African National Congress.”
Are you for real Cyril?

If I was black, I would be outraged at the way this made me look pretty pathetic.
A Wits/UJ professor claims the mere presence of white people causes workplace trauma to black South Africans.
Vasintha Pather argues that “whiteness” — including things like punctuality and accurate calculation creates anxiety for black and Indian colleagues.
This is what is being published and taught as academic work in South Africa:
