@_melOh_ @RandomoneSa You still have to pass both programmes… it's not an automatic thing. The reason it does not happen often is because very few people can study two different fields at the same time, defend two (in her case three) PhD thesis one after the other, etc.

@RandomoneSa 1. Some schools offer double degrees, so you can get 2 degrees in the the time it’d take you to complete just one. 2. For some degrees, if you already have a degree in a particular field, a few years are shaved off to complete the degree you now seek. Money, have a lot of money.

@Iannem849 @City_Press This is false. IDC is mostly an equity investor and only sometimes a lender. Examples include Bronkhorstspruit Biogas Plant and other IPPs; Brimis Engineering, Mpact Polymers, and other manufacturers; Bokone Gas, Specpharm Group, Ledjadja Coal, Molybdos, etc. and many others.

@AnonymousCowar0 @City_Press IDC is development finance not commercial. It wants borrower skin in the game, but deals are structured so recovery comes from company assets, not your personal estate. Banks chase both business and personal wealth; IDC takes the asset hit, not your house.

ICYMI | Fezile Dlamini spent R9.5 million of his own money over eight years building Green Scooters. The IDC allegedly approved R69.9 million for a white-owned Cape Town competitor during the same period Dlamini’s applications were being declined. brnw.ch/21x11dU

@rgoodlaw This is a circus… the US government says the intelligence came from the Ecuadoreans and the operation was conducted jointly with the them. Meanwhile the Ecuadoreans say they relied on US intelligence to target the farm. Now I understand how 168 school girls were killed.

This is utterly extraordinary. If Hegseth et al got this wrong, think what else is happening with the drug boat strikes and much more. The U.S. Said It Helped Bomb a Drug Camp. It Was a Dairy Farm. Gets worse as you read it. 1/

@dontdorh Sadly he will likely end up as Chairman of the board (maybe after a year or two of garden leave to satisfy regulatory preference for the chairperson to be an independent board member). That has been the practice of most banks for their ex CEOs to retain their brain trust.

I don't understand why many more countries aren't doing this. We can't wait for this to become a crisis, have we not learned by now how this will eventually go if we don't help? How many lessons do we need exactly? Russia is brave to go it alone, but other countries can help by paying for this oil, while Russia delivers it. This will allow Russia to help them when it's their turn, because their turn will come. Helping Russia is in everyone's best interest at this point. China hopefully will follow with more help. We must resist the great axis of evil with good!

@Daniel18600672 @Knick_RSA Because the evidence you need to lay a case and prosecute is inside the bank. People who have tried to take on them in civil court to pry this evidence out of them have found themselves bankrupted by the legal costs because they bury you in expensive appeals and delays.

@AfrikaMayibuyei @City_Press The main reason is that our people are very poor at putting together good, investable business and project plans. So instead of having business development analysts to assist black people develop their business models and plans, IDC takes the least risky route of debt finance.

@MadiBoity If he is your CEO, just say "my CEO" because he is not "our CEO". As a Standard Bank shareholder I do not support him at the AGM, but as a tiny shareholder, my voice is too small to make a difference. But, the PIC could use its 14.7% to hold him accountable, but they don't.

Our black CEO is presiding over a bank that wanted to kill an educated Black woman after she proved that the bank had committed fraud against her and had almost killed her daughter in the process. Instead of protecting the Black woman, our Black CEO procured a top legal firm to intimidate her. Black leaders can embarrass you when they are in powerful positions.

@Heal_within96 There is a good chance that this racist is still very much alive today. Having raised her own children during apartheid, she is has probably been spewing this same vitriol upon her grand children in post apartheid. Her grand children are middle managers in corporate SA today.

@NoSpinZA @mybroadband True… Also, in many African countries, officials are intimidated by power… and when the richest man in the world comes knocking, doors open for him very quickly. It doesn't help that there are possibly some officials angling for a piece of his pie by being his BEE partner in SA

@Keanubtc Only a person like you would equate the acts of criminals breaking the law and committing murder in the shadows, to the acts of police enforcing apartheid laws by murdering unarmed protestors in full view of the public without realising the dark irony of what you are saying.

@NoSpinZA @mybroadband A lot of American companies operate in South Africa successfully and profitably without diluting their ownership (Facebook, Microsoft, IBM, to name a few). The law provides several ways of complying with BBBEE requirements. Elon Musk just believes the law should not apply to him.

@Volkstaat10 Unemployed people don't pay tax. In South Africa most people are either too poor to leave (that is where Trump's refugee offer comes in for poor Afrikaners), or too rich to leave (exchange controls put a hard limit on how much of your liquidated assets you can take).

About 500 Afrikaner Refugees leaving every other day, according to eyewitness reports at Johannesburg Airport. The South African Government deeply concerned over dwindling tax base as hundreds of thousands of thousands of Afrikaners (and other whites) leave, or have already left the country. The biggest concern is over-reliance on the small white taxpayer base: If too many more top earners emigrate, the tax base will shrink to critical level from which there is little chance of recovery. One of our Afrikaner contributors said, "On the one hand they hate us and want us dead and gone, while on the other hand they want our taxes. They will soon learn that they can't have both!"

@JasBilyeu @krassenstein You don't kill people based on "probably". This is the same logic that gets dairy farmers and school children killed because somebody decided "probably" was good enough. If you are not sure you double check, verify, and make sure… you don't murder people and then say "oh, sorry"

BREAKING: Back in March Trump claimed that the US blew up a "drug trafficking training camp," in Ecuador and released this video of the attack. Today we just found out, thanks to the New York Times, that it was actually a dairy farm. The US Government stated at the time: "At the request of Ecuador, the Department of War executed targeted action to advance our shared objective of dismantling narco-terrorist networks. This operation demonstrates the power of coordinated action and sends a clear message: narco-terrorist networks will not find refuge in our hemisphere." I am so f-cking embarrassed to be an American right now.
