A South African think tank cheekily urges world leaders who will attend the G20 in Johannesburg to insist on being racially classified in the same way the South African government classifies its own citizens. Satire is a powerful tool for exposing absurdity and cruelty.

This guy from The Netherlands emailed me asking if I'd come on his podcast. I didn't want to, so I used my usual line: "I'll only do it in person in Victoria." Welp, the SOB called my bluff. Flew 12 hours, mic in hand. Well played, @WouterTeunissen. It turned out great:

Our patriotic Afrikaner friend has figured out the best response to @MYANC failures and it's very very effective. I am buying spray paint to do it across the country. @lolobee052 @zibuseman @AyandaAllie @VuyiswaRamokgop @ActSAParklands @FuellevyHeist guys this is it. Let's work

If you're a fringe country like SA, there's no need to protect 'strategic' industries. Just import the cheapest stuff & let downstream industries flourish (the biggest job creators). We're not in an arms race with China, America or anyone else, FFS...

If the ANC was so concerned about tariffs, they wouldn't put a giant BEE tariff on every business in South Africa.

An incredibly important interview about the Pretoria Girls saga - our elites want to destroy every vestige of competency and its not to be taken lightly. youtube.com/watch?v=K6MTyFsE…

Opposition parties the next election is yours to loose. We are done with the ANC. Don’t waste time reminding us why they’re trash. We know. We lived it. Now tell us why you deserve our vote. We’re free agents. Seduce us. Woo us. Whisper sweet policies and how you plan to enforce them in our ears. We’re waiting!

Vincent and Emmanuel Tshituka came to SA as child refugees from DRC. Yesterday, I had the honour of watching Vincent make his debut for the Springboks after naturalising them. The latest reminder from our Boks that - no matter our background - we truly are Stronger Together 🇿🇦
