Paul Mashatile cut his teeth as a political activist in the tumult of 1980s Alex, he was detained without trial & after 1994 built a power base in Gauteng. He now wants to be president. But what does he stand for, to whom is he beholden, and how do his networks function?

The US president, clearly advised by Elon Musk, really has no idea what he’s talking about. The post-truth world of disinformation and misinformation will hit us hard.

South Africa is confiscating land, and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY. It is a bad situation that the Radical Left Media doesn’t want to so much as mention. A massive Human Rights VIOLATION, at a minimum, is happening for all to see. The United States won’t stand

Some questions: is there a test to determine your Afrikanership? Must you hold AfriForum membership? Can you take stuff with you? Will Elon help with some startup cash on the other side? Can you still come back for December holidays and so on? Are there bakkies in the US?

Chaos at the Midmar Mile in KZN as hundreds of oppressed try to empty the beertent before storming to the US consulate in Durban. Although, Bulls v Stormers at 2 and SA20 final at 17:30. Ok, Monday then.

The footage makes it patently clear what happened. And rubbishes the “alternative” version put forward by right wing activists.

Johannesburg is now really coming apart at the seams: no water, no electricity, roads potholed, sidewalks dug up and left as is, sidewalks broken and overgrown, traffic lights run over by drunks and left to rust away. What’s the point?

What’s happening in the US is reprehensible, but remember the EFF and Julius Malema have done pretty much the same thing in our parliament for years now, storming the podium, stoking violence in the NA, subverting process and procedure.

So VIPs, political VIPs, can now use their blue lights and black BMWs and elbow other cars out of the road to deposit their children at school while the rest of us have to wait at traffic lights that don’t work because of loadshedding?

My new book, 'The ANC Billionaires: Big Capital's Gambit and the Rise of the Few' tracks how capital influenced the ANC, how it helped direct the transition, and the rise of a few connected politician-billionaires. Out on 31 October from Jonathan Ball Publishers.

Despite the white noise and horror on social media, it seems that Cyril Ramaphosa, David Makhura and their team, and John Steenhuisen, Helen Zille and their team, might be steering SA towards a broadly acceptable settlement. The next 48 hours could be historic.

Julius Malema has nothing left to offer. Bluster, racism, violence, conspiracies. That’s all there is. Ends.

After 15 years of capture and misrule, we cannot afford economically illiterate and irrational people in the national executive. We need serious thinkers to address our major structural, economic crises. This type of crassness simply won’t cut it.

The Rand is a card carrying member of the DA in very good standing also. You touch the DA you touch the Rand.
