Very excited to have signed a book contract with @routledgebooks for my first monograph, provisionally entitled 'Dangerous Technologies: Crime and Digital Divides in (South) Africa'. The book explores why digital technologies have featured at the heart of S.A.'s crime crisis.

@Sinawo_Thambo I think SAn politics has entered a phase similar to Mexico’s, during the era of the late ruthless drug cartel Pablo Escobar. When criminals didn’t just bribe or intimidate politicians but became part of politics itself, even gaining seats in Colombia’s Chamber of Representatives.

[ICYMI] Political analyst Moeletsi Mbeki has called out South Africa's political elite, saying their focus on personal enrichment has been to the detriment of the poor. enca.com/videos/archite…

In media this is called posturing or political signalling. When someone publicly associates themselves with a presidential run, like posting campaign-style content with their name, while saying “this is not the time”, they are testing the waters without fully committing. It is a way to gauge public reaction and position themselves without facing immediate political risks.🤣🤣🤣🤣

ANC SECRETARY GENERAL | Fikile Mbalula
I urge all members of the Anc not to be enticed by the discussion of leadership, This will have its own time and space and we will have plenty of time to reflect. We are a 40% party anyone who is engaged in this discussion and campaign doesn't appreciate the moment we find ourselves in as an organization and the movement in general led by the Anc. Anc members must be alert to the work of agent provocauters who seek to drown our organisation into this unrewarding , destructive discussion.

And so, dear Europe, we are on our own. Way too much time and opportunities have been wasted on false illusions and self-deceit, but we have to deal with what we have. There's always a way to go for those who don't give up and never accept surrender and death as an option. Ukraine has been a more than vivid illustration of the fact that we can do it. The heart of the Free World gets back to the eastern side of the Atlantic, and we'll pull this through together as America, unfortunately, abandons reason for madness.

Syria has shown that Russia: 1. Extremely weak. 2. Has thrown all its resources at Ukraine. This is a very important signal for everyone who has territorial or other conflicts with Russia. Take action.

@govanwhittles Yes people think it's a rosy town, but has a very sinister side to it, especially at night. Relatively well-off students are easy pickings. Skelmbos.

I was just in Stellenbosch filming the #Botmaskop story and I actually walked through the town to dinner one night. Didn't realize how dangerous that's become for students. #CarteBlanche

@RyanCoetzee The latest are Gayton's speeches "from the heart", making him 'presidential' all of a sudden. We love kakpraters too much.

Despite Macpherson not naming any party, EFF MP Veronica Mente said: "The minister just insulted us. He said some parties are very close to construction mafias. You can't generalise on a statement like that. You are insulting us. He must withdraw that." news24.com/news24/politic…

From day one; Pauli van Wyk, told South Africans exactly what happened in VBS. Her story did not change, she came with all the facts and with receipts. She was maligned. She was victimized. She was insulted. They hurled abuses at her. @PaulivW was 100% correct about Julius Malema, Floyd Shivambu and the EFF. Pauli has been vindicated. Pauli's VBS story was journalism at its best.
