Eugene de Kock undoubtedly has quite a bit to say.
One would think that after 20 years in prison, after being handed two life sentences plus an additional 212 years' imprisonment, when those who ordered your actions came off scot-free, you'd be ready to sing like a canary.
On both sides, everyone who was ordered to do the dirty work bit the bullet, while those giving the orders became "leaders"
That will fuck you up after a few years in jail.
SARS: Remember that you need to submit your social media income.
🤠: Yeah I did, I had some X revenue payouts.
SARS: Thanks for submitting that, but now you're a provisional taxpayer because it's an additional income to your salary / R30 000 then you're supposed to submit every six months.
🤠: Well, no - because I didn't know I'd be paid that. I had one viral post that pushed me over at the end of the tax year.
SARS: Well, now you're a provisional taxpayer.
🤠: Well, no, because X ended the revenue sharing so I no longer receive anything.
They aren't ready for half the stuff they want people to declare.
Jack Black has put together one hell of a stout.
It's coffee beans to the max if you enjoy a stout .

There is no "splitting the vote" if you choose a smaller party. I know some parties want you to believe that.
They campaign on wanting you to surrender your political choices today because, apparently, that's the only way to preserve your political choices tomorrow.
The "moonshot" to prevent "doomsday"
Ask yourself one very simple question:
Is the price of having democracy continually surrendering the freedom to choose? And if so, is that truly democracy?
Then you have your answer.
Why I won't vote DA is quite simple really.
I have no issues with their people. I have an issue with their direction.
Modern liberalism isn't a governing philosophy.
That's what they sell it as, but it's a Trojan horse.
It is an ideology of dismantlement.
Modern liberalism CANNOT stand on its own.
It inherited nations, institutions, cultural identities and the social cohesion necessary for individual liberty to flourish.
It DID NOT CREATE these foundations on its own.
Yet today, it increasingly treats nationalism as dangerous, borders as obstacles, and tradition as oppression.
It taught you that girls can be boys.
The great irony is that liberalism depends on the very foundations its modern advocates seek to dismantle. And you will slowly keep handing over those liberties until it achieves statism, in which whatever liberties remain are granted THROUGH the state.
That is not freedom.
Freedom cannot survive on individual rights alone. It requires a functioning nation, shared obligations, and people willing to defend both. This is why modern liberal cities are becoming warzones.
Modern liberalism is the Trojan horse that enters a nation promising liberation, only to hollow out the foundations that make liberty possible.
Modern liberalism isn't a governing philosophy.
It's a globalist tactic to overthrow your country.
When local government elections are over...
It's time to have a chat.
There's no need to keep this current GoVeRnMeNt in place.
Took the plunge on @CivGame Civilization 7 yesterday.
Massive sale going on, and the reviews (vs price) were putting me off, but I have to say, I'm sorry I waited so long.
I actually really enjoy what they've done with it.
Those who oppose @elonmusk @Starlink in South Africa claim it's a security risk...
What's he going to do?
Erode our borders?
Flood us with illegal immigrants?
Turn us into the murder and rape capitals of the world?
Covertly murder farmers at night?
Cause GBV cases?
Render half of SAPS vechiles not operational?
Cause power blackouts?
Send infected water through your taps?
Steal your taxes?
Our own government does that to us!
Smart boys be like: "Nah bra, he might turn off the internet"

446 votes • Final resultsTheres a lot of nonsense floating about in South Africa about Elon using Starlink as a weapon in Ukraine.
The Ukrainian military is using StarShield. It's a military variant of Starlink that allows for usage at higher speeds.
Elon didn't provide Ukraine with access to it. Access to Starshield is issued by the US Department of Defense.
They allowed Ukraine to use it.
They can take it away.
Usage speeds were throttled to 100mph which is still alot faster than Starlinks usual 70 km/h because Ukraine was attacking oil refineries and in some cases using Starlink for war. Elon previously denied them access when they wanted ro use it Crimea for a planned sea-drone attack on the Russian Black Sea Fleet using Starlink.
If anything, Elon is restricting the use of Starlink as a weapon.
People are overly optimistic about the White Paper on Local Government, with too few questions being asked.
They're essentially suggesting we separate government from service, something I have been advocating for, once service delivery ends up in private hands, you can no longer vote it out.
This movement doesn't stop capture.
Who's issuing the licenses?
How transparent will that be?
What stops it from just being captured in the new model?
None of these questions have been answered yet, and if services end up being captured, when councils can no longer be elected, you're strapped in a new kind of fucked where the connected elite now technically have control over the service income (which is what they always wanted) without having to pose as government officials.

1.8 million additional earning opportunities by 2030 😂
If you listened to it, it was all grandstanding.
Businesses must hire. Businesses must train. Funds to assist employment. All ideas on how to cram the unemployed into the existing structure.
The problem they don't address: FOUNDATIONAL WEAKNESS. Creating the actual jobs or setting the market free.
Beautiful to address access to jobs when no one is hiring and suggest businesses take on bloat when there isn't space for people, and many have scaled down.
Capital doesn't care much about socialist wet dreams.
They are completely out of touch with reality.
