Ivo Vegter: "Instead of moderating his cataclysmic forecasts in the face of overwhelming evidence that he has always been spectacularly wrong, he kept doubling down. He spent his dotage, like his life, claiming that he was more alarmed than he ever was before." #population #apocalypse #worldview Read more here: dailyfriend.co.za/2026/03/20/rot…

Hermann Pretorius: "It is a way of ensuring that the next time the DA reaches parity with the ANC, it does not do so briefly, but sustainably." #DemocraticAlliance #costofliving @IRR_SouthAfrica Read more here: dailyfriend.co.za/2026/03/20/pol…

Simon Lincoln Reader: "Michael White is a former political editor of the Guardian, and the father of Sam White, one of Keir Starmer’s inner circle. Michael White describes himself today as “elderly sage and hack”, so I used him as lead donkey – final boss boomer – for the last parts of our comparitive analysis." #boomer #genz #generationalbeef Read more here: dailyfriend.co.za/2026/03/20/com…

Martin van Staden: "This led me down the path of learning about the justifications for liberty and self-ownership and all the wonderful ideas that make up the philosophy of freedom. But that was not the thought." #freedom #Liberals #prosperity Read more here: dailyfriend.co.za/2026/03/19/the…

Benji Shulman: "The real question before Parliament should not only be what happens next in Tehran, but how South Africa ended up so deeply entangled with one of the world’s most repressive regimes." #urgent #IranWar‌ #repressiveregime For more read here: dailyfriend.co.za/2026/03/19/why…

Joburg ANC tears itself apart x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Jonathan Katzenellenbogen: "In SA, tougher economic conditions — combined with the water crisis and the overall collapse of municipal services — point to a poor ANC performance in the upcoming local government elections. By the time voters go to the polls, the war and the closure of the Strait may be over, but the economic aftershocks may persist." #SouthAfrica #Economy #economicuncertainty Read more here: dailyfriend.co.za/2026/03/18/sa-…

Steven Boykey Sidley: "But this is the bigger story. What Conyngham demonstrated is that this research and treatment (previously confined to well-funded research institutions and pharmaceutical giants) is now technically accessible to a motivated individual with only domain-adjacent skills and access to public AI tools." #ChatGPT #cancer #vaccine Read more here: dailyfriend.co.za/2026/03/18/the…

Ivo Vegter: "At first, I had hoped that he had more of a plan than he was letting on. Perhaps he was executing a plan drafted by real military and geo-strategic experts, instead of by, say, a bombastic former Fox News commentator and faux frat-house muscle-boy Pete Hegseth." #IranWar‌ #America #Oil Read more here: dailyfriend.co.za/2026/03/17/pew…

Greg Mills: "The market is there. The question is can Argentina put in place sustainable policies and act quickly in getting to the front of the queue? The answer, so far, appears to be ‘Yes’." #Argentina #Economy #Milei Read more here: dailyfriend.co.za/2026/03/17/mak…

Peter Swanepoel: "The choice of the Rothschilds as symbols was not incidental — they were Jewish, wealthy, and international, making them perfect targets for conspiracies that blamed Jews for modernity’s dislocations. This antisemitic dimension has never fully disappeared from Rothschild narratives, even when contemporary versions avoid explicitly racial language." #epsteinfiles #rothschilds #conspiracytheory Read more here: dailyfriend.co.za/2026/03/17/the…
