In one hand: a clothespin from the 1960s. Solid hardwood, smooth from decades of use. It still works perfectly, some 60 years later.
In the other: a clothespin from 2025. Lighter, paler wood, brittle. The spring is thin and unstable. Marketed as “extra durable,” my dad just raised an eyebrow.
At first glance, it’s just two clothespins. But they tell a bigger story — the shift from durability to disposability, from craftsmanship to cost-cutting, from stewardship to constant consumption. This is planned obsolescence in action.
Products are designed to fail so we must keep buying. Slowly, subtly, they break. Frayed wires, cracked hinges, brittle springs. Not because we want more, but because the old was never built to last.
The costs are everywhere. Landfills overflow. Wallets empty. And maybe most quietly, our spirits grow accustomed to impermanence, to the idea that nothing is meant to endure.
What if this philosophy extends beyond objects? What if it shapes how we treat relationships, communities, homes, even the Earth — as temporary, replaceable, disposable?
It doesn’t have to be this way. That 1960s clothespin reminds us another path is possible. That we once made things to last, and we can again. That quality, care, and intention matter. That we can design for repair, for continuity, for meaning.
@TimesLIVE Or perhaps because the ANC has failed the electorate. Unemployment, lack of service delivery, pathetic education and deteriorating medical services. A wonderful track record!
President Cyril Ramaphosa has attributed the ANC’s significant decline in the May 2024 general elections primarily to a failure in maintaining a rigorous door-to-door campaigning culture.

It's likely that–at times–you have felt up against insurmountable odds.
But God doesn't even blink at the roadblocks in front of you. He has already torn down the biggest obstacle we will ever face, the veil of our sin that separated us from His holy embrace.
He will, in the same way, lead you through every challenge you will ever face.
@dolfi1920 I have been waiting since 03 September for compensation for a suitcase that Lufthansa managed to annihilate. When is my payment going to be processed?
Such a great point was made about online gambling at the Budget breakfast. As most people who gamble are grant recipients, it is SA taxpayers who are funding these online, offshore gambling businesses…
[VIEWER QUESTION] Sport has the power to uplift the country in the darkest of times. Bafana Bafana's victory in Mbombela has secured them a spot in the 2026 Fifa World Cup. And since that historic win, the happiness levels in the country have soared. What else makes you positive about our country? #TheSouthAfricanMorning#DStv403#DStv194#QuestionThinkAct
@nicd_sa That fruit juice is loaded with sugar. Bread is an UPF. Add healthy animal fats and protein to provide a nutritious meal that will keep them satiated longer
Parents and caregivers: if your child brings lunch from home, please pack a balanced lunch with fruit or veg, whole grains and water. Nutritious choices support steady energy and concentration.
WARNING: If you or your parents live in a retirement complex in KZN, know that fraudsters impersonating bank officials (in uniform) are gaining access and targeting residents.
A 91-year-old resident of a Durban retirement village was recently defrauded of more than R200 000 in this way. Security at the complex entrance did zero vetting.😡
The managers of these places had best put strict protocols in place to protect their residents.
I’m investigating…
@eNCA If all members of parliament and all government employees were forced to use only government health care, the problems would immediately be solved
[VIEWER QUESTION] South Africa's public healthcare system has been under strain for years. It's confronted by an increase in patients, while the funding cannot keep up. So this morning we're asking you: What should happen to save our public healthcare system?
Send us your thoughts. #PublicHealth#eNCA
The ANC’s “National Dialogue” is like putting perfume on a landfill — they thought it would mask the stench of 30 years of failure, but all it’s done is make the rot easier to smell. I used to oppose the idea; now I’m cheering it on. Let them talk — every word is another nail in their electoral coffin.
Prov 18:23 The poor speak in soft supplications; the rich bark out answers. @MYANC@PresidencyZA net worth was estimated at over R6.4 billion @PMashatile properties with a combined value of R65 million,
@eNCA He is a spineless cupcake. His consultative approach is simply a cop out because he is too scared to make the required unpopular decisions against the ANC thieves in government
President Cyril Ramaphosa has often been criticised for his lack of decisiveness. We want to know what you make of the President’s leadership style. eNCA's Theodor Mashele is on the streets of Johannesburg to hear your views. #DStv403#eNCA
I only bring out the Romano on special occasions. Want to smell my best for the Two Oceans Board meeting this evening.
Think I'll be really extravagant and give myself three sprays from this exclusive item from this year's goodie bag.
