Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Imagine sitting on a 50-billion endowment and not taking the opportunity to spearhead the defence of academic freedom in your country.
Well at least we know now what these sorts of schools are all about.

Spent summer break in SA - Durban, Cape Town and JHB. I am utterly astonished at the turnaround in Durban. From the hedges on the roads being cut, to security on its beaches, to the cleanliness of its city centre which I visited, what a turnaround. Shows you cities can be turned!

Folks, South Africa has progressed in land reform.
We are NOT at the 9% progress that people often cite. We are around 25% progress.
And yes, the 30% target won't be the end.
Land reform must continue sustainably. Read our piece here on the progress.
