South Africa should be $10 000 GDP per capita by now with GDP of $650 billion. We lost potentially $260 billion (R4.4 trillion). Things started going south after 2010? Anybody know why? Seems we didn't benefit at all from FIFA world cup. We need to fix this!!!

@BusInsiderSSA MTN or Naspers.

Name one African company you think expanded brilliantly.

@KennedyWandera_ Trump doesn't want to sit on the same table with South Africa and thats okay. We are holding our breath until Nov mid-terms for an end to this global lunacy.

Kenya will attend #G7; South Africa disinvited. A geopolitical shift? Diplomatically, does this imply that Kenya is being elevated (gaining influence, access, legitimacy) as South Africa is being sidelined (losing visibility and leverage)? Let's see what diplomatic experts say!

Surprised to see South Africa on the list?🤔

@jacksonhinklle I was looking for that one country in Africa that voted against.

🚨🇺🇳 BREAKING: The United Nations has voted 123-3 in favor to condemn the enslavement of millions of Africans and the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The three countries voting against it: 🇺🇸 USA 🇮🇱 Israel 🇦🇷 Argentina Nearly all of Europe abstained.

@NewsAlgebraIND What's called when you have reached a stage where you start believing your own lies?

🚨 TRUMP -- "Iran proposed making me Supreme Leader" 😳 "I said No. Thankyou. They were so insisting" "They want to make a deal so BADLY, but they're afraid to say it because they figure they'll be killed by their own people" "They're also afraid they'll be killed by United States" "There's never been a head of a country that wanted that job less than being the head of Iran" "And I tell you.. We are winning so big"

This is exactly the kind of work I hoped to be doing at this stage of my life. I'm grateful to God for the privilege of living that reality. The CII Graphical Abstract explains why the status quo is a "Velocity Trap. We are retiring coal too fast for the current grid to integrate renewables, and the "gas bridge" designed to save the situation is financially unbankable. Here is the link dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.5…

This lady tells 1 year of studying quantum physics in under 60 seconds: Quantum physics isn't just science; it's logical spirituality. You don't attract what you want; you align with what you already are. In the quantum field, every version of you already exists, the wealthy you, the happy you, the successful you. Your thoughts and emotions broadcast a frequency that your life mirrors back to you. The quantum field responds to certainty, not begging. Visualization is your most powerful tool because our minds can't distinguish between imagination and reality. Pull your future into the now and recode your past. Everything is accessible right now. You aren't just a person in the universe; you are the universe experiencing itself through you. Go live like the miracle you are!

I thought I understood Epstein, Israel, and the war in Iran… until this conversation. In this sit down, CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou walks me through why he believes Epstein was working as an access agent, how Israel and Mossad might sit at the center of more than we think, why the Kennedy files still aren’t fully released 60 years later, and what’s really behind the Iran war and Trump’s decisions. I don’t say this lightly: this one actually made me rethink some things.

@DumaGqubule @FebePotgieter Congratulations to Khalo!👏👏👏

Proud parents @FebePotgieter and i arriving at Great Hall for our son Khalo's graduation. I cant believe we saw his results in December but all three of us only discovered recently that he gets BMus with a distinction

South Africa offers many advantages for foreign investments: good infrastructure, a robust banking sector, world-class universities and first and foremost, a functioning justice system relying on well entrenched democratic values. @david_martinon

From picking up waste on the streets… to building a recycling empire ♻️🔥 Meet Tshepo Mazibuko. He started with nothing but hustle. Joined a mentorship programme, learned the game, and turned trash into opportunity. Today, he owns K1 Recycling Waste Management in Katlehong — and works with nearly 1000 waste collectors supplying his business. Proof that your starting point doesn’t define your finish line. 🚀

Germany didn’t become an industrial powerhouse by sending everyone to university. They built something smarter. It’s called Ausbildung, a structured apprenticeship system where young people earn while they learn inside real companies. A 17-year-old in Germany can train to become: • a mechatronics engineer • an industrial technician • an automotive systems expert • a precision machinist • a medical equipment technician They are paid during training. They graduate with globally respected skills. And many of them end up earning more than university graduates. Over 50% of German youth pass through this system. Now look at Nigeria. We push everyone into universities. Millions graduate every year. But the country is still importing basic technical expertise. We have degrees but we don’t have enough skills. This is why we are studying the German Ausbildung model closely to implement in the South East. Because the South East must lead Africa’s skills revolution. Imagine a structured apprenticeship system across Aba, Nnewi, Onitsha, Enugu and beyond where young people can train to become: • industrial fabricators • automotive engineers • robotics technicians • electronics specialists • renewable energy installers • precision manufacturing experts Training will happen inside real companies. With structured certification, modern tools and clear career paths. Not the informal “Igba Boy” system, but a world-class apprenticeship ecosystem. The South East already has the largest concentration of indigenous manufacturers and traders in Africa. What we need now is structure, technology, and certification. If Germany can power Europe’s manufacturing through apprenticeships, there is no reason the South East cannot power Africa’s industrial future. The next generation of millionaires in Africa will not only be software founders. Many will be master craftsmen, engineers, and industrial builders. And when Africa finally fixes its skills crisis, history may remember that the revolution started in the South East.
