Youth unemployment specifically & unemployment generally is extraordinarily high & not reflective of anything ‘normal’. The cause is internal-self inflicted by ANC govt policies & institutional neglect/destruction. BEE legislation; rule of law (lack); property rights key reasons.
No one cares for the youth like Cyril. Young people should not have to work for a living. They deserve better. 👍

One of the worst taxes. Capital is needed to grow and the tax converts capital into consumption. It is an anti-growth and anti-job creation tax. No emerging market can justify this tax. Like eating seeds.
Paying taxes on money you never made? It happens. Inflation can raise capital gains taxes to levels exceeding real returns. @adamnmichel explains this flaw in the tax code and makes the case for repealing the capital gains tax:

We can see the familiar pattern here in SA. 15 year# of economic stagnation (GDP per capita decline) and rising unemployment, rampant corruption, compromised institutions just some of the symptoms.
Today in 1945, George Orwell published a devastating critique of Communism. Animal Farm reveals why every communist revolution follows the same tragic pattern: liberation to corruption to oppression. Here are 10 truths from Animal Farm Orwell warned us never to forget 🧵👇🏼

BEE legislation results in Black Economic Dis-empowerment. It’s radically anti-growth - an investment and job killer.
🚫BEE isn't building — it's blocking. It’s a barrier to growth, jobs, and merit. South Africa doesn’t need elite enrichment schemes. It needs a skills-first economy. 💼

Is this heading for South Africa?.
🚨BREAKING: The U.S. has officially sanctioned a sitting Supreme Court Justice of Brazil for acting like a dictator. Alexandre de Moraes is censoring Americans, jailing political opponents, and targeting Elon Musk. Now Trump’s team is hitting back—hard. 🧵

BEE legislation achieves the exact opposite of the headline marketing.
BEE was supposed to offer a step up for a promising group of South African entrepreneurs. Instead it killed off those entrepreneurs and bred a band of freeloaders and thieves. Trillions wasted and unemployment at its historical worst. That is the legacy of BEE and the ANC.

Rule of lawfare.
This is how it goes in South Africa. Principal’s husband helps maintain school’s garden for free:.- Principal suspended without pay. Police Minister is accused of working with the crime underworld:.- Put on leave with full pay.

Track record would validate this view.
FACT:.1. From the very beginning, the ANC’s main agenda was to steal public money. 2. The so-called struggle for liberation was for self-enriching comrades and their families. 3. They have been exposed as nothing but a bunch of heartless hyenas masquerading as politicians.

If the allegations are true, then suspension/dismissal is the correct action. However, I missed Action SA’s call for the same for most other ANC ministers, heads of depts, mayors… with far more serious alleged clouds. Or is this just feud politicking?.

Capital Gains Tax is a wealth tax which has the economic effect of converting capital into consumption. Economic growth needs capital investment. Capital gains tax is the equivalent of eating seeds and wondering why there is no harvest.
🚨BREAKING: TRUMP MAY ABOLISH CAPITAL GAINS TAX ON HOMES. Imagine selling your house and keeping every penny—no IRS cut. Trump’s thinking about doing exactly that. It could unlock the biggest housing boom in decades. 🏠💥🧵
