With the ANC - African National Congress goverment unable or unwilling to make headway in Washington -- the embassy there's not had a full-time leader for three years-- Democratic Alliance foreign affairs boss thought she could help. Now she's being harassed by Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 's intelligence operatives..,,

In light of Minister MacPherson releasing the findings of the PwC report, I think it’s important to remember that when this story first broke and the smear campaign against the Minister started, ASA were very quick to demand his suspension. I wonder if they now rescind that ?

My friend and comrade gets a free pass from most in the media. Forget the ANC resolution on the Scorpions. He called for their heads complaining of Hollywood raid style. He fired Pikoli even after he was cleared by the Ginwala inquiry. Then he complains of decline in capacity

As I understand it ISA can't do the building. SOEs and the three tiers of government have to select private sector partners, award tenders and hold contractors to account...

Emma Powell was hounded by her government and betrayed by her party. Her ordeal is a measure of the ANC’s determination to exclude the DA from meaningful participation in the GNU. It’s also a failure of leadership by John Steenhuisen. WSM’s column on Politicsweb

That we have not had a fully functioning embassy in Washington for years is entirely the ANC's fault. Now when we need experienced hands, we have nothing, writes Peter Bruce. timeslive.co.za/sunday-times/o…

A particularly painful lament from Peter Bruce We could be the most amazing country for all citizens - instead we are led by incompetent donkeys with an evil disposition. PETER BRUCE | We're stuck in mud of our own making — better call the help desk timeslive.co.za/sunday-times/o…

The madness of South African industrial "policy"... screw the businesses who use steel and coddle the dinosaur that makes it...

Yes, and when I brought this up as part of budget negotiations one of the people I was talking to said they were worried about job losses. I tired to explain that for every one loss you can see, there are 10 you don’t. Those ten people also matter, but not to the ANC.

Kudos to the Sunday Times for running this. It is one of the most remarkable modern characteristics of South Africa, that we have an assassination pandemic, but it is not on the front pages every day. Staggering. Just staggering. timeslive.co.za/sunday-times/n…

Exclusive Video: Suspended IDT CEO, spokesperson offer Daily Maverick journalist R60K in cash to quash investigation dailymaverick.co.za/article/2025-0…

Along with many South African’s this morning, I have watched with disbelief the video as related to the suspended IDT CEO. I will be addressing this matter as soon as possible after consulting with the IDT board which I plan to do today.
