It is estimated that South African farmers will export a whopping
R 270 000 000 000 worth of farm produce in 2025 bringing much needed foreign currency reserves into our economy. Let's give our hard-working farmers a round of applause and wish them a Merry Christmas. Bravo

⚖️ Victory for the DA! We note the scathing judgment of the Western Cape High Court in the appeal of John Hlophe and the MK Party against the decision taken in September granting an interdict against the participation of Hlophe in the JSC deliberations.

'Leftwing'? 'Progressive'? By any rational, internationally acceptable measure MK Party is a rightwing, ethno-nationalist fascist cult praying to one corrupt narcissist

Whatever you might think of the DA's "flag burning" election ad, the SABC's decision to ban it from its television channels is outrageous and a MASSIVE own goal by the public broadcaster!

Ramaphosa won't attend a single presidential debate ahead of the election. Yes, that's how little he thinks of the voters. Under Zuma it was the same thing. The ANC has no respect for you all and you know it. Punish them at the polls so they take you seriously!

Maybe im uninformed, but Ive never heard of sex or cash for jobs in large JSE listed companies. Isnt this only an occurance in public sector such as hospitals, schools and government departments?

Can we nip in the bud the convention of starting business emails and messages with the infuriating and insultingly formulaic "I hope you're well"? Or is it already too late?

You have had 30 years to turn the legacy of Apartheid around. You had Trillions of Rands, you were the darling of the Western world. And you managed to fail on every SINGLE metric and goal. Yet you still blame Apartheid 30 years later because you are completely incompetent.
President Cyril Ramaphosa said the economy is where it is today because the Apartheid government crippled it.

My gut-feel is that, one way or another, Ramaphosa will not see out 2024 as President.

Dr Mathebula makes a crucial point: the international protocol is that honourary doctorate recipients cannot ethically use the Dr title. Only the institution that has awarded you that honour (note: honour, not qualification) is allowed to address you as Dr. I think the South African Association of PhDs should lobby for that legislation, in the same way that the Department of Higher Education legislated that only public institutions of higher learning can call themselves “universities” and not private ones.

Thirty years after that massacre, Rwanda can proudly boast that it has recorded an average GDP growth of about 8% per year. SA will be lucky if it reaches 1% growth, writes @justicemalala

World Bank study shows 10% of South Africa's gross domestic product is lost because of runaway crime. Crime costs SA R640bn every year. 76 people murdered in SA each day. Last year Transport Minister Sindisiwe Chikunga was hijacked with her bodyguards.
