@grok is there a white genocide happening in South Africa?

Abolish stock markets! Our lives cannot revolve around computer money

@candywar @DailyInvestorSA Your mother

@DeanLew74 @DailyInvestorSA Who touched you

Magda Wierzycka has returned to South Africa from the UK due to unfavourable tax changes and economic conditions, while expressing optimism about South Africa’s prospects and a desire to play a more active role in growing her company dailyinvestor.com/investing/1250…

@LawrenceBailey0 Which town? South Africa, has, enough diesel

So my Town has run out of diesel, no diesel anywhere, definitely starting to feel the effects of the ongoing war right now.

@FanieSP @Recon1_ZA He also said three days😅 and it will end when he feels it in his bones😅 and that the war is practically over

@Recon1_ZA I am very confident that Trompie will not allow this to drag on much longer. He said a matter of weeks.

I don't think South Africans truly appreciate what a fine line we're walking. Imagine a global energy crisis at the height of Stage 6 loadshedding. Eskom's exposure in the next 3 to 6 months should be interesting to watch if this turns into a prolonged issue.

@WandileSihlobo I JUST spend my evening reading up on how to produce urea fertilizer 😁

FERTILISER SUPPLY AND FOOD PRICES IN SOUTH AFRICA I have been monitoring online comments about the situation in the Middle East and its implications for our agricultural sector. There are concerns about fuel and fertiliser supplies and price increases. I want to comment on the fertiliser market for now. -We don’t have a fertiliser supply issue for now, but prices are rising due to fears of global supply disruptions. -The events in the Middle East are material for the global fertiliser market, and we see a surge in prices and the region’s growing importance as a source of fertiliser ingredients. -What will matter the most in all this is the duration of the war — how long will the disruptions last? -The next major fertiliser usage period in South Africa and Southern Africa at large is from October 2026, when we plant summer crops. Another issue is how the fertiliser surge will influence consumer food prices. On this, I will say: -Farmers can’t pass on fertiliser costs to consumers. They are price takers. In extreme cases, they can mainly influence prices by adjusting the area planted. We don’t see this as a near-term possibility. And the new crop is only planted in October 2026. -This also means farmers will be under immense strain if the fertiliser prices remain elevated for some time. Fertiliser accounts for 35% of grain farmers’ input costs. -Again, this is still early, and we don’t know much about how long the disruptions or the Middle East war will last. I also want to note that we expect South Africa’s consumer food price inflation to moderate in 2026. We haven’t shifted from this view, but we are increasingly worried that higher fuel prices due to the war in the Middle East may alter this optimistic food inflation path if the war continues for longer. The latest data released by Statistics South Africa has not accounted for the war in the Middle East and still indicates a moderating path for food price inflation, underpinned by ample domestic supplies of grain, fruit, and vegetables. The data show that consumer food price inflation slowed to 3.7% in February 2026, down from 4.0% in January. In essence, we expect South Africa’s consumer food price inflation to slow in 2026, but fuel prices remain a major upside risk, as they account for a substantial share of the distribution costs of food products. Fuel accounts for 13% of grain farmers’ input costs, but farmers are price takers and can’t pass this cost on to consumers except through adjustments in their planting decisions in the next season. -Wandile Sihlobo Presidential Envoy on Agriculture and Land

@mark_barnes56 Mark Barnes is as obsessed with the Post Office as Cilliers Brink is with the mayorship of Tshwane 😅😅😅

🇿🇦How did SAPO go from being debt free with R10,65bn in cash and financial assets in 2019 to writing off R7,4bn of debt in 2024, despite a further R2,3bn capital injection in 2023?!🇿🇦 news24.com/business/econo…

@Khumology @MissNthabeleng Perfect example of an overreaction👉

Solution would be, never set foot in Clicks again. That R3 cost them an entire customer. In the long run, they’re chasing their own customers away. They’re driving themselves into liquidation. Sometimes you think you’re outsmarting people only to later realize you’ve finessed yourself

I went to Clicks to buy plugs, on the shelf it was R200.00 when I got to the till it was R203.00. After paying I asked why am I paying more when at the shelf it was R200 not R203. The lady went to check for herself and called her manager for a R3.00 refund…. As I was waiting for this R3 refund, I had a business meeting in my head, called an urgent board meeting, there was only 1 item on the agenda. Agenda 1. Was waiting for the R3 refund worth the time I waited for the lady to go check and call her manager? The debate ensued, 1. there was nothing in store that was worth R3 so even if I wanted to buy something I would have needed to add more. 2. I had been at this shopping complex for over 3 hours so my parking ticket is way more than R3 3. When I buy puffs from the street hawkers I pay R5 4. The other store where I left they were charging me R6 for a bag, I said NO and I left 5. The R3 is my money, the store mustn’t overcharge customers, imagine if 100 000 customers left their R3, who benefits from that money? The Board in my head then voted, the verdict was I had to wait for my R3.00

@Bikomfident Too early. I'd even argue the increases on fuel is too early. In two weeks' time we'll have a better idea of the ME situation bc right now even the Americans don't know what they want to do. Gov already said there's no need to panic yet.

The SAn government needs to urgently announce a mandatory work-from-home (WFH) policy across all state departments and entities. Allow employees to work from the office on Mondays and Fridays, while Tuesday to Thursday should be WFH. We need agility during times like these.

We’re barely making it and yet everything is about to go up🤣💔

@StevevB8 @adrian_slabbert You jUst missed out on the G team😅

@adrian_slabbert So if you're playing for the U19 H side you're not to bad

Affies heading to Paul Roos this weekend. They have an U19M side. Thats 13 open teams! Unfortunately Paul Roos dont go that deep 🤣🤣 I heard Affies can also field an U14L side this year!!

@skhumali @AfikaSoyamba @Ant_089 @feziledhlamini_ This seems to be the case yes. They don't fund stuff they don't know and more money seems to go towards established businesses

@AfikaSoyamba @Ant_089 @feziledhlamini_ In short, these DFI’s are NOT created for start ups. They need to stop selling themselves as such. Thank you for this and taking your time.

. @feziledhlamini_ The IDC and Black founders is trending. So I did what nobody else is doing, I pulled the actual funding data.854 companies. R65.9 Billion. 7 fiscal years. Every deal. Every shareholder name. Public record.The data is now live. Go look for yourself 👇 📊 bit.ly/IDCFUNDED SHORT PRESENTATION canva.com/design/DAHEMN0… (E&OE)

@Katli_T The 'shortage' is due to distributors waiting for the price to go up. If they keep the 'cheaper' fuel they have now, they sell at a huge margin in April. South Africa itself doesn't have a shortage

So basically if you’re driving a 50L tank, expect to pay R225 more per full tank. I also heard that petrol stations will be running low on petrol soon.. buckle up guys! Kubi and its about to get worse 😭

@feziledhlamini_ @IDCSouthAfrica They have now stepped into the ring. Finish them

The @IDCSouthAfrica has issued a response. I note that it does not address: 1. The Matshekga directive (July 2019) that was never executed 2. The Marumo admission of ‘inconsistencies’ (22 Jan 2026) 3. The Mellowcabs comparison (R69.9m vs R0) 4. The circular referral that blocked access to BIS and MCEP 5. The TASEZ bottleneck 6. The PAIA refusal It repeats the claim that I have not submitted information. Ms Lebo Bodibe acknowledged receipt of all materials by email on 17 Feb, 24 Feb, and 6 Mar 2026. This is also a repeat of information you issued in 2020. The evidence is filed with Parliament (Ref: Portfolio Committee petition, 9 March 2026), the Public Protector (Ref: 7/2-004484/21), and NAFCOC. I welcome any public inquiry into the facts. I’ve attached my letter I sent to your acting COO, Jarvis.

@KaraboNotMoroka @IDCSouthAfrica @TshepoRamodibe

@IDCSouthAfrica Twitter investigators. You know what to do. Who’s this chap?

We note social media commentary on Mr Fezile Dlhamini’s IDC funding application. All applications follow due diligence and governance checks, incl. market access & commercial viability. The IDC has repeatedly requested outstanding info; it remains unsubmitted. We welcome good-faith engagement. Read our full statement here: idc.co.za/social-media-c…

@IDCSouthAfrica This is gonna end in tears. Fezile has responded w receipts.

@LebooooR @xgseagugx lebo you’re always fighting

what cracks me up on this app is how some women insist they don’t care about men’s opinions, yet get visibly bothered the moment a man calls another woman “wife material.” no one hates to see a woman be appreciated than another woman, it’s ridiculous

@Compaqllow You guys are a bunch of weirdos

Just ran through her following list on instagram and it told me everything I need to know

@smalltalkdaily Distributors are trying to cash in on coming increase by stocking up but holding back. Main suppliers have got wind of this and are now also rationing stock

And speaking to a contact of mine this morning who works in the fuel trading division of a global commodities house ... they told me Astron refinery is closed for planned maintenance so that is putting some extra pressure on the Cape Most (fuel) suppliers are acting as if there is a shortage of product (fear through fear) but April (fuel) cargos are booked and on their way Overall the market is very uncertain and everyone is acting like they are short (or fuel)
