Now this I can behind, the multiplier effect of this tax w.r.t its's effect on the cost of goods relative to how much it generates and it's intended application of those funds just is not necessary.

Unemployed doctors, defunct SANDF, dilapidating water infrastructure, under resourced border management, more private security guards then police officers, and yet we are still pursuing budget surpluses.

PetroSA Mossgas requires R5.8 bn restore its 18 000 barrels per day (bpd) A further R8.5bn to increase to 46 000 bpd. An important hedge against global supply shocks. MTBPS 2026 projects R140bn of primary budget surplus this year. Our Zombies in Parly are shameless.

And their economic growth is also higher than ours despite us being an "emerging market".

Learning that in America they buy their house mortgage at 3% interest rate😳, while us in SA with the highest unemployment rate, we buy them at 10,75.% 😭

From a unit economics perspective, MKP’s donors got such great ROI in terms of funding to votes ratio. The DA is one of the highest on the cost curve with BOSA and Rise being higher but understandable due to their place in the business cycle.

I found out only now that Moses Mabhida was based in Mozambique and deeply tied to the regional liberation movement, Mozambican President Samora Machel honored Moses Mabhida with a state funeral 💟

President Samora Machel and First Lady Graça Machel exchanging pleasantries with Oliver Tambo at Moses Mabhida's funeral in Maputo in March 1986. Machel was a great ally of the liberation movement. 7 months later that year he was gone. 📸: ANC Archives

The investors must be extremely concerned. This action is really going to FDI - the citizens should find a better outlet for their grievances.

We'll be told that economic growth is a local government competency when in reality one of biggest issues with our little economic growth is that it lacks localisation and disproportionately benefits the large urban centres and leaves our rural towns + provinces behind.
T@Uncle_ThapsOct 19
Why is lack of economic growth not an election issue, but immigration is? Are we being defocused?

🇪🇹 Ethiopia's "Made in Ethiopia" initiative revived 1,115 factories and created 1.58 million jobs between 2021 and 2025, driving import-substitution production to $5.96 billion. The Ministry of Industry announced the next phase will focus on expanding exports, building new capacity, and modernizing services.

Less than 10% of South African matriculants got 50% or higher in mathematics since 2008. A low number of people passing maths means an even lower number of capable maths teachers being produced. Give your kids all the support you can afford.
Wayne@WayneH__Oct 14
I’m hoping and I say HOPE because there’s really no confirming with kids… I hope I don’t have to do Kumon and the likes as they get older. It seems like a norm these days. We never had all that extra stuff and we passed. Now every child needs it. How come? Ay ay.

This austerity thinking is how we’re going to end up with dilapidated cultural institutions and no museums one day. Addressing issues of unemployment and underdevelopment can co-exist with creating a strong arts, culture and tourism sector.

I'm shocked at how Smoking made a comeback through vapes, the agenda against smoking was so strong growing up - I never thought we were gonna be a smoking generation.

No, you cannot walk 10,000 steps daily, get 8 hours of sleep, cook every night, clean every day, take care of a family, make time for your own hobbies, and still be productive at work every day. This is not just propaganda, it is nonsense. Free yourself from it.
