Wow. Turns out locking up criminals stops crime.
El Salvador used to be murder capitol of the world. Now it's the 2nd to safest country in the Western Hemisphere. How did President Nayib Bukele do it? He cracked down on crime and jailed more than 65,000 gang members. El Salvador now has the world's highest incarceration rate by far and a national homicide rate that's down by 92%. His approval rating now stands at 90%. The Bukele Model can and should be replicated everywhere. It works.

106 lots going under the hammer featuring mature SA & French fine wines. The wines of Burgundy & single vineyard Champagnes are produced in small quantities & command high prices. Rarely traded, mature bottles are even more rare in our small market. straussart.co.za/auctions/deโ€ฆ

What do the names Seadragon, Ava Marie and Ignis have in common? Following the exponential quality curve of South African wine, single vineyard designations are only going to become more important. My column for @michaelfridjhon winewizard.co.za/column/1168 #TheSinglesClub

Huge congratulations to @rosa_kruger, this year's recipient of @Decanter's #HallofFame award. A 'deserving choice' says @TimAtkin of the first viticulturist (or farm manager) to be so honoured, as well as the first South African. Read the full interview: decanter.com/premium/rosa-krโ€ฆ
