So @FNBSA would rather give a debt consolidation company a rate of 3.5% interest instead of THEIR client, so screw the client on interest until they consolidate and then lose the client in the long run all together. Make it make sense please. #uselessbank

@PhumlaniMMajozi All valid points but you know it will never happen. As for the tax reduction, how are the ANC supposed to get rich? It’s like you expect them to actually work for once??

Good evening, Here's how the South African government should address the unemployment crisis: 1. Scrap the current national minimum wage. It’s a senseless policy. 2. Reduce the Labour Relations Act to less than 10 pages. It’s currently more than 200 pages. 3. Stop illegal immigration. It’s negatively affecting our labour markets. 4. End BEE and other costly regulations. 5. Slash taxes! South Africa is one of the countries with a very high tax burden in emerging markets. 6. Collaborate with the private sector to invest in investable entrepreneurs. The skin colour of entrepreneurs doesn’t matter. 7. Invest in globally competitive skills development programs. You agree with these recommendations? #economy #politics #markets

@Mafioso203 @Rb__sa I agree with you. Will offer a company a rate of 3.5% to settle my debt, not in loans but reduced payments. So the bank gives them but keeps going in dry with me!!

@Rb__sa What clarity? A debt counselor offered me 3.5% to settle my debt. All you do is take the baseline away and keep screwing me. How can they get that rate? Why don’t you give me a 10% inter was t rate, you still screwing me but at least I can get out the hole.

Minister of Mineral and Petroleum Resources, Gwede Mantashe, says South Africa needs to fast-track the establishment of a new state-owned company to address rising fuel prices. According to the minister, one of the key reasons South Africa’s fuel prices suffer during global oil-price turmoil is its over-reliance on imports. “The reality confronting us is that South Africa remains overly dependent on imported refined petroleum products,” he said. WELL YOU FN IDIOT. THAT IS WHY WE USED TO HAVE SAPREF UNTIL THE ANC KILLED IT, IN FAVOUR OF IMPORTS. @MYANC is a curse upon this land. VOETSEK.

SA is so anti progress. Why would anybody like to beg over being efficient??
Handre@Handre

The South African Reserve Bank has a long history of hiking rates to hit its 3-6% inflation target while the economy collapses around them. This obsession with statistical price stability over genuine economic health perfectly captures the intellectual bankruptcy of modern central banking. SARB raised rates 475 basis points between November 2021 and June 2023, pushing the repo rate to 8.25%. Meanwhile, unemployment sits at 32.9%, GDP growth stagnates below 1%, and load-shedding has destroyed productive capacity. The bank treats these symptoms as unfortunate externalities rather than the predictable consequences of monetary central planning. Sustainable price stability emerges from increased production and voluntary exchange, not interest rate manipulation. When you artificially suppress demand through higher rates while ignoring supply-side destruction (thanks to government interference in energy markets), you create stagnation without addressing the root causes of price increases. The Reserve Bank fights the thermometer instead of the fever. The tragedy extends beyond South Africa's borders. Emerging market central banks worldwide copy this failed playbook, sacrificing real economic growth for the illusion of monetary control. They target narrow price indices while ignoring asset bubbles, credit misallocation, and the systematic destruction of savings through currency debasement. Every rate hike that pushes another business into bankruptcy while politicians celebrate "inflation progress" proves that central banks serve political masters, not economic reality.

Today we joined Eskom gaurdians at Megawatt Park as they delivered 365 days without loadshedding, advancing the economy. This milestone marks a decisive turning point and a structural shift from a recovering grid to a stable, high-performing power system. #LeaveNoOneBehind🇿🇦

@pookiepolls @AardvarkBloody Sadly once the DA got the National Government posts they wanted they showed their true colours. Who do you vote for in this cesspit of a country? Politicians are all the SAME. If they not bashing each other the copying each other. Shame on me for hoping my vote could change SA!!

I saw this on FB and it made me very sad. Is their absolutely NOTHING that this criminal government can do properly. Written by James Deacon. I am about to write what has to be one of the most difficult and painful posts for me to write on Facebook. On Friday I was given news which unfortunately I cannot disclose yet that has forced me to turn my back on something I truly love with all my heart: Kirstenbosch Garden. I have been involved there for 19 years due to my love and passion for the garden. However Kirstenbosch is no longer a place that brings me joy and happiness but rather pain and sadness. When I walk through nursery now I see neglect, decay and death. The amazing plant collections that have taken decades and more to establish sit neglected slowly dying. The Protea collection is less than a third of what it was and only a fraction of the Ericas remain. One plant has gone from extinct in the wild to completely extinct purely due to lack effort to keep it going. Places once full of plants sit empty and in some cases full of weeds because the production of plants is so diminished. Great plantsmen and women like Ernst van Jaarsveld, Monique McQuillan , Louise Nurrish , Cherise Viljoen , Anthony Hitchcock who I admired and looked up to all left way before they should have because working there had become so unpleasant and because things like procurement made it impossible for them to do their jobs. One told me when they tried to order pots the response they got from the management of SANBI the SOE that runs many of the country's botanical gardens was what were they cooking. Another ordered pots and three years later they yet to arrive. Poor financial management has resulted in the organisation having to use funds donated for educational purpose to pay staff salaries. Kirstenbosch no longer has a Protea or an Erica expert and hasn't had either for years. Staff morale is at an all time low and respect for the leadership of the garden has broken down. The garden cannot produce metal labels to tell visitor what the names of the plants are. I say all these things not out of animosity to anyone or with the desire to see people in trouble. I say these things because I love the garden and what I am seeing is breaking my heart. I am also saying these things because after all the friends, experiences, knowledge and memories the garden has given me I feel I have a duty to speak out for the garden in difficult times such as these. I don't know what will happen to me for saying all this. Maybe I will be banned from the garden or get into trouble. However I refuse to stay silent and standby while the things and people that I care about suffer. I also feel that we the current custodians of the garden have a duty to preserve and protect the work of those custodians of the past for the custodians of the future. We have two choices to be remembered as those who fought for Kirstenbosch during its most difficult and challenging times or as those who sat idly by and allowed it break down and be ruined. I don't know if anyone will read this or if it will achieve anything but I will not keep silent while the place I love suffers and will continue to speak out against what is happening.

China must be South Africa’s guiding compass for the development of South African people, particularly the majority. For more than 300 years, our interaction with the West has not improved our conditions or developed our economy for our people. Capitalism has failed, and it is now time for a vibrant socialist market economy.

President Cyril Ramaphosa is an illegitimate president. The Progressive Caucus in Parliament did an honourable thing. The President cannot stand in front of the elected representatives in Parliament and address the nation in front of South Africans. President Ramaphosa is now a Temu president with an illegal mandate to lead our nation with Temu cabinet.

Five individuals met an untimely end in Kruger National Park after being shot by rangers while engaged in an unsanctioned rhino horn Poaching. The gentlemen had already successfully shot down two rhinos and were in the process of harvesting the horn from one when they themselves were abruptly "harvested" by the park's anti-poaching unit.
