    Are you for or against worker unions?

    Unions getting too strong is very bad for a country. Unions being non-existent is very bad for worker safety and basic rights. You need a balance. I support unions in their work to make workplaces safer, as well as ensuring reasonable reasons for being dismissed. On the other hand once a union...

    Had to go outside for a bit. While I am sick I have to say it felt like I was going into shock. It is freezing out there.

    Police investigate deaths of two Gauteng teenagers in Sabie

    His porn habits would be interesting to know. Saw a youtube video a while back saying the industry has taken a hard turn towards violence, choking, etc. WTF is wrong with people that that is even attractive to them.

    Teacher salaries must be cut in half

    The issue in SA is poor curriculum, and zero performance metrics for teachers. SADTU has blocked every attempt of the government to institute performance metrics on teachers and the ANC has rolled over and backed SADTU every time despite their own education departments begging for performance...

    Evidence that South African special forces murdered top detective shared with BBC

    Nasty stuff. Big move towards Putin style politics if the Army is now protecting the corrupt from the police.

    What is driving the current “anti alcohol” rhetoric online

    Glad to see alcohol use dying out. People are getting smarter about this. Alcohol has cost more lives and money than all the wars ever fought. In SA for instance alcohol was a factor in a little over 50% of murders and a significant portion of road deaths. Globally it sits at around 48%...

    A tax revolt is underway in South Africa

    Agree 100%. A lot of people I know who are leaving the country cite failing service delivery as part of why they go. We get very little back for our taxes. Those that are here are going the extra mile to reduce the tax they pay. Doing my part via crap like etolls and SABC TV licenses but the...

    ANC stalwart says it is unacceptable to build an Afrikaans university

    Afrikaans is a major spoken language of many people in SA including many people of colour. Mother tongue education has advantages. Saying this is just showing how racist she is.

    Warning for divorced people in South Africa

    Heard some horror stories over the years. Husband had wife cheat on him, leave him, and treat him like absolute schite. Re-married, happy for 20 years, husband finally dies and new family finds out he never updated beneficiaries on some of his policies and the money now goes to the ex who they...

    Eskom’s monopoly is coming to an end

    Again. This was planned out already I thought years back. Trigger was just never pulled. I have spoken to someone at Eskom who literally worked on the spin off plan prior to them leaving yonks back.

    Have you ever flown Business Class or First Class?

    Nope. Cattle class only so far. Not sure on exact count but I think I have been on about 20 flights in my life total ranging from very short hops to some endurance testing stints at the limit of how far airplanes can fly.

    Jacob Zuma’s R246 million Nkandla homestead deteriorating in front of everyone’s eyes

    Lol, that is a lot of ground to maintain. Gardens, thatch roofs that need replacement on a cycle. Walls need painting. Fire pools need maintenance. Makes me smile that he has to live with watching it all crumble.
