🇹🇷🇬🇭 A single Turkish ship anchored off Ghana's coast generates over a quarter of the country's electricity. The MV Karadeniz Powership Osman Khan is 299 meters long and pumps out up to 480 MW of power. It has been doing this since 2017. No power plant to build. No years of construction delays. Karpowership, the Turkish private company behind it, has quietly turned this model into a global business, deploying floating plants to countries with chronic energy deficits across Africa and beyond. Africa has an infrastructure gap that traditional investment has failed to close for decades. Turkey found a way to monetize that gap with engineering.

[WATCH] “There’s a difference between an undocumented immigrant and an illegal immigrant," says Nigerian activist Solomon Izang Ashoms, who lives in SA. He claims the Operation Dudula and March and March protests against undocumented foreigners stem from a lack of education.

The 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 is a debt trap for young professionals. ‼️🚨 It’s been framed as “𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂” but really it is “𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀” I say this because if they really wanted to help, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗴𝗼 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗼 “𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹” 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 “𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁” ——- Let me explain: The first two years go towards only repaying the interest portion on your home loan and not the capital. (𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀’ 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻). With standard home loans, your monthly bond payment is split into two portions: 1️⃣Principal 2️⃣Interest For example, on a R1 million home loan at 10% over 20 years, your monthly payment would be R9,650, which is split like this: 1️⃣Principal = R1,316.88 2️⃣Interest = R8,333.33 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 = 𝗥𝟵𝟵𝟴,𝟲𝟴𝟯 ——— However, with the deferred principal strategy that FNB is using, it means you only have to pay the 2️⃣ interest portion on your home loan every month for 24 months. (R8,333) That means your monthly payment falls from R9,650 ——>R8,333, increasing your cashflow. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝗯𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗥𝟭 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻. For this privilege of keeping your debt the same, you save R1,317 month (R15,804 a year). ——— *After the two year “grace period” your 20 year home loan is compressed into 18 years and the loan reverts back to a standard home loan. Now you have a R1 million home loan at 10% (Or whatever the prevailing rate is) over 18 years. So the breakdown would now be: Monthly = R9,998 1️⃣Principal = R1,665.10 2️⃣Interest = R8,333.33 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 = R998,334 (25 months in) ———- Under a standard 20 year home loan agreement, you would pay back: ✅R2.31 million (R1.31 million interest) ——- Under FNB principal deferred structure, where they compress it into 18 years after the two year “grace period” you would pay back ✅R2.35 million (R1.35 million interest ) You pay back roughly R43,610 more than a standard home loan, however, the article does not mention if the loan would be compressed into 18 years after the two year “grace period” or if it would be an additional 20 years after the 2 year “grace period”, in that case costs can rise by at least R200,000 more.

So the investigating Officer in the Kagiso Lerutla speeding case could not see that the person who appeared in court was in fact not the same person he served the summons on? Maybe the Prosecutor and the Magistrate can be excused because they wouldn't have known the identity of the "correct" person if he had never appeared before them prior, but the Investigating Officer has some serious questions to answer.

🚦 On Lynnwood Road and University Road, traffic lights have not worked for weeks, road upgrades are dragging on, and congestion is getting worse by the day. Add the smell of sewerage in the surrounding area, and it is clear this is a city not being managed properly. Tshwane is definitely moving backwards under this ANC led coalition in Tshwane. 🗳️ Register to vote DA: check.da.org.za 💙
