This is not applicable to half brain thinkers. I dont subscribe to some of the things and that doesn't mean I am flip flopping, I just grew and understand better. @TuckerCarlson

@NWoodeSmith This is a common misconception. BEE is a solid concept, and absolutely vital for restoring a truly competitive economic environment. The issue has been with implementation. Sadly, the ANC has become an incompetent vehicle for these policies.

@MartynMCGrath @NWoodeSmith Thank you Martyn 😊

BEE has done immense damage to growth, investment, and trust. Scrapping it would help South Africa immeasurably.

lnkd.in/dkAeBGfG Fadhel Kaboub is cautious about these patterns of foreign dependency. He warns of over reliance of AI built in the Global North arguing it risks reproducing a digital form of economic colonialism across Sadc.

AI writes well because people have been writing well for so long. AI tools are trained on actual writings by real people. To now assume every good piece of writing is enabled by AI is so unfair to those who have crafted the art well before AI.

@uLuyanda_Gama Actually if you pay attention, you will notice how overlapping are professional areas, atleast some segments. Bureaucracy is the only gatekeeper.

No Engineer would pass CTA 😭

a Zionist fanatic at the Oxford Union angrily asks George Galloway if he is racist because of his opposition to the genocidal Israeli occupation, and is applauded by the audience. Here's Galloway's response that gets the audience to applaud him by the end:

Dear Mister president @CyrilRamaphosa it would be great if Glencore, the company that your brother in law is involved with stops selling coal to Israel.

The 5 lies of Jaco Kleynhans, former spokesperson of the Orania Movement: Lie 1: Iran posed an “imminent existential threat”. Fact: IAEA Director General stated no structured nuclear weapons program and Iran was not days/weeks from a bomb. Strikes hit Iran during active negotiations, not an emergency. The USA and Israel disrupted the negotiations. Lie 2: Diplomacy & sanctions were total failures. Fact: Nuclear talks were ongoing into late February 2026 with Iranian offers on enrichment. The US demanded full capitulation. Strikes killed Khamenei and derailed diplomacy. Iran additionally complied with the JCPOA agreements, Trump deliberately tore it up. Lie 3: Operation Epic Fury was a limited, well-planned campaign with clear exit. Fact: It became a broad decapitation strike with regime-change signals. Iran retaliated, closed the Strait of Hormuz, and installed hardliner Mojtaba Khamenei. No clean settlement was achieved. Lie 4: Strikes destroyed 90%+ of Iran’s capabilities and set it back 20 years. Fact: Significant damage occurred, but enriched uranium stocks, know-how and underground sites largely survived. Nobody has an exact figure of what is destroyed. Lie 5: This brings “long-term stability” and lower future oil prices. Fact: Oil spiked over $110–$126/barrel due to Hormuz disruptions. Civilian casualties, regional escalation and depleted defenses point to higher costs and instability, not peace. Another Iraq in the making.

@A_T_C_A @tebogokhaas @Abramjee @pule_jones @eNCA To add: I doubt if they would have agreed to be interviewed by any other media house.

@tebogokhaas @Abramjee @pule_jones @eNCA 🙄 They are giving their criminal friends a platform and you're clapping. This is why it's so easy for the media to fool people.

morning @airportsza, ortambo needs security personnel stationed at the security check in queue in the early mornings. the tension among passengers patiently waiting in line versus those skipping the queue will blow up one day. disclaimer: i have been both those passengers 🙈

If you have a library nearby, please get a library card! It’s boosts library stats, which helps keep them funded and open for kids who need them the most, I beg!🥹🙏🏾

@biccapital @ClaysonMonyela Delete.

@ClaysonMonyela My bad, I meant department of Communication

After canceling Clements Show. Interesting stuff there by DIRCO

@KhuselaS @MightiJamie @SizweMpofuWalsh Good night, Dear. Sleep please.

Nothing explosive here from an untested, unsigned hardly identifiable scribble (it’s a stretch to call it either a letter or God forbid - affidavit). The presentation of this by the Lt-Gen in his testimony was for me the lowest point of his testimony and it was rightly rejected and ignored by the AdHoc Committee

This is an explosive episode of SMWX youtu.be/aI68ygJh9fI?si…

@sowazis @S_Gwiliza @TheRealClementM But the @SpokespersonRSA didn't ask for theatrics. He said the two parties should put things in perspective. Also, the decision seem to have been communicated 3 months earlier. So don't understand.. really.

@S_Gwiliza Did you see this👇 @S_Gwiliza I don't think @TheRealClementM created any story...I also do believe that we need to be fair in addressing issues as we have no idea what tomorrow holds!

Clement must accept the decision by the SABC and not come create stories about people being responsible for shows being canned. Operational decisions are made by management.

@JuliRee_Mts @DenzilTaylor 🤣🤣🤣🤣 been asking myself. But again, young man did ask unpatriotic question during the white house visit. That was low key and I knew he isn't gonna last there.

@Constitution_94 @SollyMalatsi Look, you are godsend.. caders are generally ignorant. Adhering to governance principles isn't their thing. The only question to ask, is "after establishing facts, what then?" Any attempt to rescind board decision is gross interference.

@SollyMalatsi Read the Zondo Report on the interference by Communications Ministers on SABC's editorial and operational decision-making processes, wena Dina Pule and Faith Muthambi wannabe

I note the allegations regarding the SABC’s decision to terminate Face of the Nation. Any suggestion of political pressure on the SABC is deeply concerning. Editorial independence is sacrosanct and must be protected. I have written to the SABC Board Chairperson requesting a full report on the reasons for this decision. We must establish the facts to ensure this matter was handled fairly and without compromising the principles of robust journalism.

@PresidencyZA @CyrilRamaphosa @LIV @SportArtsCultur This is beautiful guys. I know we have our dirty politics and all horrible things to say as a result of frustrations. But this is excellent and well executed event. Only if we can all draw lessons. We can only live well if we create a environment that allows coexistence. SA 🇿🇦❤️
