The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts — Bertrand Russell

It is very hard to overstate how important a battered but determined press has been in connecting open justice, accountability, and the battle against state capture. Litigation here by @amaBhungane, @News24 and @dailymaverick continues that track record.
A win for open justice and access as the SSA capitulates at the Pretoria High Court. The media and public now have access to a major state capture trial. news24.com/investigations/ss…

Had it not been for the media and civil society, the public would have had no knowledge that this trial was proceeding or how it is being conducted. Well done to our co-applicants, @News24 @dailymaverick @amaBhungane and our spectacular legal team.

🇿🇦How can Postbank take R9,45 billion in deposits from the public if it doesn’t have a banking licence? (and what has it done with the money)🇿🇦@Treasury_RSA @AuditorGen_SA @SollyMalatsi

Suzman said, go see for yourself. @geordinhl taking that advice to a whole new level. Brilliant.
I moved into Mitchells Plain this past week so that I could spend every day and night joining our Cape Town Metro Police officers and Neighbourhood Watches on safety patrols, drug raids, traffic stops and drone ops 🚨👮♂️
Stay tuned to see what happened. Looking forward to sharing with you all the work our Cape Town Officers are doing to support SAPS to make our city safer for all.
William the New York Times has reported brilliantly on this before...

🇿🇦The FACTS :
1. Postbank did not “emerge” from SAPO (it was taken, for no payment); and
2. SAPO had no debt (AFS 2019) and did not owe Postbank R4,6bn when I resigned as Group CEO
Where is the money?!🇿🇦@TimesLIVE @AuditorGen_SA @Treasury_RSA @SollyMalatsi

Glad the SRF has resorted to mindless ad hominem insults! Opens the door to be honest about Simon Lincoln Reader. He is a an irrelevant wanker, with no ability to argue, who is up Trumps arse, and stupid as a result. Yay. Great being a child, thanks SRF! youtu.be/mIYluQ88jLE?si=GQ1t…

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

Imagine how much you must hate some of your fellow South Africans if you could revere a man like this, fawn over him, support him in his threats and insults of your country

A South African jurist, Navi Pillay, has just won the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for her work on Palestine. It’s a victory for decency and one in the eye for Trump, but it’ll pass. Basically, for now, here, Trump and his shameful legions win, writes @Bruceps.
