Trump just finalized the 30% tariff on South Africa. Another 10% on all BRICS countries, bringing the total up to 40%. AGOA gone. 300 000 jobs in the automotive industry lost. Thanks Ramaphosa, using Mugabe's "He must keep his America" tactics are paying off!

If this continues, America goes de facto bankrupt and all tax revenue will go to paying interest on the national debt with nothing left for anything else.
How did we arrive at a point in this country where 25% of all tax revenue goes to just paying the interest in $37 trillion in govt debt? Annually: US govt total reveneue = about $5 trillion US govt interest on debt = about $1.2 trillion US govt spending = about $7 trillion

This 155MW wind farm will supply 75% of the power needs of Seriti's Mpumalanga coal mines at a significantly lower cost than power from Eskom. This is the 1st phase of a 900MW project that will also include 800MWh of storage capacity

Guys British tourists spend more than R50bn on tourism in SA a year. With everyday South Africans; bnbs, taxi drivers, wine farmers, restaurant owners. The Spurs sponsorship is R300m a year. If it increases just British tourism by 1% it more than pays for itself.
Unpopular opinion. I quite like the idea of sponsoring Spurs.

As someone who has been vilified for being the "chatbot" space for 6 years, very successfully I'll add, I say: FINALLY. Dialogue/chat will always be at the centre of communication and interaction.

I asked #OpenAI: Since 2015, how many times has the South African government referred to #loadshedding becoming a thing of the past within 12 months? (This excludes the many incidents since 2021). I'm not aware of the energy sector making any such promises.

Why I want Argentina to win: I have just spent two months in Buenos Aires, and the fact is, they are more like us than any other country. They are insecure, worried, defensive, sidelined, impoverished, in trouble. Sport is the one place they can get arrogant - (contd)

I was not concerned about AI last week and I am concerned about AI today. Not in the "they're going to kill us" way, but in the "societies can adapt pretty quickly, but maybe not quite /this/ quickly" kind of way.

Let's review. Musk went on a bender and offered to buy Twitter at a price based on a weed meme. Then he agreed to a binding agreement to purchase it. Apparently he didn't fully grasp how binding it was. Then he tried to get out of the deal. Twitter sued to force him to ...
