PA leader Gayton McKenzie says the GNU is still united despite there being discord around the budget. He explains that Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana presented the budget to GNU partners, and the DA and PA were among the parties who were dissatisfied. #BudgetSpeech2025

I have to ask Castro Ntobeko Ngobese 🛖 ⚫ 📚, what combination of parties do you think would have supported a VAT hike? I struggle to see a path to a majority on this issue. If anything DA/VF/PA are more likely to support such fiscal conservatism than any of the parties currently in opposition

Fuck. Is this what it is like to live in America? #BudgetSpeech2025

It’s now clear that the Donald J. Trump Administration computed reciprocal tariffs without using tariff data. This is to economics what creationism is to biology, astrology is to astronomy, or RFK thought is to vaccine science. The Trump tariff policy makes little sense EVEN if

A bit of an overreaction to the Woolies blueberry shortage imo...

Honestly, bringing Ernie Els is a stroke of genius. Trump loves a golf celebrity and is way more likely to be affable with one there

This is a fever dream

What I appreciate about this moment is the honesty with which President Ramaphosa, Steenhuisen, Johan Rupert etc are describing South Africa’s many challenges with crime, unemployment and inequality. While making it clear these challenges don’t amount to white genocide.
