Morelle: Here’s the problem whenever the president speaks—and I hate to make light of this because he’s the president—but it’s almost always just fantasy. This week he’s suddenly a scientist, telling us what we should do for a fever if you’re a pregnant woman. He can’t even…


Maybe the hapless Boks should have a "National Dialogue"

Visit of SANDF chief Gen Maphwanya to Iran would have been approved by Minister. Like Lady R it’s our actions that show SA true foreign policy orientation. Self-defeating defiance. Now try and get a better trade deal from US.

What a disgrace. I took our domestic worker to #HelenJoseph hospital “Breast Clinic” this morning, to have a scan (sonar or x-Ray) on orders from her doctor. @GautengHealth They took her R95 and then proceeded to tell her the “machine is broken”. Two other ladies there said this…

Or CR could behave less like an imperial president, and more like a first among equals in a coalition government. This could allow him to claim a mandate for pro-growth reforms, instead of doubling down on an agenda that has delivered dwindling per capita GDP.

All this debate around who influenced the VAT decision is hilarious. I mean it’s perfectly clear: Gondwana filed an affidavit 100% defending the VAT increase in every sense. He then asked to settle, after he was torn to shreds in court. I mean it’s not rocket science.
