@_Bongekile_ Digitisation of police stations could be greatly assisted with Starlink in rural areas - another reason ANC probably doesnt like Starlink as it could improve policing integrity.

@jaredwright17 And the fact the Bok coaches couldn’t select him for long periods because he was playing in France. Should have had well over 100 test caps.

Might sound stupid considering he won World Cups 12 years apart but Frans Steyn.

Who is the ultimate ‘What if’ player in rugby history? Someone who was incredible talented, but didn’t live up to their potential because of injuries…

Thirty years into a stalled economy, South Africa has hit a dangerous "overbend" where national debt is no longer a tool for growth but a trap for survival. In a healthy system, borrowing builds infrastructure that pays for itself through new jobs and more taxpayers. Instead, we have fallen into a debt death spiral, borrowing billions just to keep the lights on and pay civil servant salaries. Because the economy isn't growing, tax revenue can't keep up with the interest, forcing the state to issue new bonds just to pay off the old ones.
The scale of this collapse is clearest at Eskom, which is now technically insolvent with liabilities of R633.4 billion outweighing its assets. While the utility claims a R16 billion profit, this is a mask for a core that can't survive without a R254 billion taxpayer bailout. As businesses and homes switch to solar, Eskom’s revenue shrinks, leaving the remaining taxpayers to fund a bloated R43.2 billion wage bill and a "mad tariff" that would hit 300c/kWh if the state stopped the bailouts. We are no longer investing in the future; we are simply borrowing to manage the wreckage of the past.
A government bond is a formal contract where the state borrows massive sums of money from commercial banks, pension funds, and external international lenders. When these institutions "buy" a bond, they are essentially giving the government a cash loan to fund the national budget. In return, the government gives them an IOU promising to pay back the full amount by a specific date, along with regular interest payments until then.
For banks and pension funds, these bonds are usually seen as safe, reliable investments for your retirement savings. However, the system relies on the government’s ability to collect enough tax to pay that money back. If the state spends more than it earns and the economy stalls, these lenders start to worry. This is where the "death spiral" kicks in: if the lenders lose confidence, they demand higher interest rates to cover the risk, or the government is forced to borrow from one bank just to pay back another, effectively turning your pension fund into a life-support machine for a failing state.

SANParks has launched an investigation to trace and identify a man seen in viral social media footage allegedly engaging in dangerous and unlawful driving inside the Kruger National Park. They described the incident as deeply concerning and condemned the driver’s actions as reckless, irresponsible and a serious violation of conservation laws.
According to SANParks, the footage shows the individual illegally crossing rivers with a vehicle, driving on roads that had officially been closed, and operating the vehicle recklessly within the protected area.
Authorities said the conduct displayed a blatant disregard for public safety, environmental protection measures, conservation regulations and the authority of park management.
SANParks stressed that national parks are protected under strict environmental legislation, including the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA) and the National Environmental Management: Protected Areas Act (NEMPAA).
These laws prohibit activities that could damage ecosystems, threaten biodiversity, endanger wildlife or compromise visitor safety.
The organisation warned that violations could result in criminal charges, substantial fines, imprisonment, civil claims for damages and administrative sanctions.
The agency highlighted that driving through rivers and ignoring road closures can severely damage sensitive ecosystems and infrastructure, while also putting both humans and animals at risk.
Road closures in the park are often implemented for critical safety reasons, including flooding, poor road conditions and wildlife movement.
SANParks confirmed that officials are actively working to identify the suspect and warned that once located, he could face the full might of the law, including fines and a possible ban from all SANParks-managed protected areas.
SANParks said, “We are looking for this individual, and he will face the music.”
The organisation also confirmed that gate officials allegedly seen in the video encouraging or supporting the conduct will face consequences for violating park regulations and staff conduct rules.
Members of the public with information that may assist investigators have been urged to contact SANParks or the nearest law enforcement authorities.
