    ConCourt rules for ANC in candidate lists case

    "The reasons will be handed down later." I realise that this might well be precedented from a legal pov but please man.... could they not make it so much easier to call this corruption? It does not take a genius to figure out that everyone outside the ANC is going to use this a "proof" that...

    South Africa’s problems started with the advent of democracy in 1994 – Herman Mashaba

    I guess he has to get votes from somewhere? Might as well try his luck with the conservatives?

    Protests in South Africa turn violent with cars torched and gunshots fired

    I saw a few videos over the weekend of this "protest". In several of them rioters were carrying weapons (Clubs, sticks) and actively attacking groups of police officers. The police were able to disarm them without taking any real hits. So I started wondering why? Why do the police accept this...

    One South African province mines 50% of the world’s platinum, yet 7 out of 10 residents cannot find a job

    Everybody wants to be the HR Manager, nobody wants to operate the drill.

    48-hour warning for homeowners in South Africa

    Wait... how screwed are we if someone can put up a shack in your yard while you are on holiday and then the burden is on you to go through a lengthy and costly legal process to get them to move? Or am I missing something here?

    The tax that punishes South Africans who save and invest their money

    I stopped investing in property the moment I figured this out.

    Presidency doubles down on BEE in South Africa

    At this point the ANC is like an idiot trying to put out a fire with petrol. Everyone is shouting at them that it's making it worse but they just point at the house and scream "But it's still burning" and carry on dumping petrol on it.

    Jehovah's Witness lifts ban on blood transfusions

    Not to bash religion... but how does something like this not totally open your eyes about it? How many people suffered and died because they were not allowed a blood transfusion for the fear of burning in hell for eternity... only for the church to change their mind a bit later.... oops sorry we...

    One year in prison for people who will not stop spam calling in South Africa

    There is a catch here that nobody is thinking about. Remember that competition you entered, or the 10% off voucher you wanted so you put your contact details into the little pop-up and ticked the box saying you read the terms and conditions? You likely not only gave that company, but also...

    President Cyril Ramaphosa refuses to condemn an incitement to kill white farmers in South Africa

    The USA (Trump) is 100% using the SA "Afrikaner refugee" narrative for their own personal political gain, I don't think they actually believe anything they say or that it actually matters to them. But what is also true is that they are not threatening SA with a war or trying to...

    South Africa must bring back the death penalty and hang murderers

    We can't find them because most of our police are under trained, under funded or corrupt and useless ,if we find them we can't convict them in court because we can't prove they did it because our labs are broken, under funded and our NPA is a hollowed out shell due to corruption and...

    R371 million housing project is now only unfinished houses which have been vandalised and stripped of anything of resale value

    The difference between corruption in SA and in other countries is that at least in other countries something gets built. The tender is awarded with a bribe or the price is inflated for a kick-back but at least something gets done. In SA as soon as the EFT hits the account for the councillor /...

    President Cyril Ramaphosa must condemn ‘Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer’

    This speaks to the core of the problem the ANC has. It's leader cannot afford to condemn, even slightly an obviously wrong thing for the fear of losing votes to the EFF / MK. Which in turn also shows that there is a significant number of ANC supporters who either do no see the problem with...

    Eskom wants to charge solar users and other people for not using its electricity

    Yes off course, but also; you are not entitled to connect to their infrastructure, unless you pay for it. There is no problem here from a single user perspective. The bigger issue Eskom has that they will scare away anyone who has money to pay them at all. Image a suburb of 100 houses where 90...

    Eskom wants to charge solar users and other people for not using its electricity

    Because they can recoup the maintenance costs from the "profit" they make selling you the electricity. If you don't buy, they don't make profit.
