South Africa is collapsing and black South Africans, the 80% of voters deciding the country's trajectory, are still preoccupied with wagging their finger at white South Africans. Wake up, friends. You're at the wheel. Stop berating your passengers and pay attention to the road.

Joburg WAS an important city because of the momentum it had as a mining city. Joburg has squandered that momentum on the ANC.
Now Cape Town is the important city. It is the refuge from the disaster zone that the rest of South Africa has become.
@hiltontarrant
Visited SA this one time and went to the JHB CBD … It’s a disaster…
But places like New York and Medellin Colombia managed to fix a similar situation.
Better policing and citizens coming together should be able to do that. JHB is too important a city to allow such decay

The price of 6 milk cartons? Now R111 from R76. Those 4 packs of pasta ? Now over R70. Those 4 juice? R86. Don’t get me started on potatoes and yoghurt.

Something unappreciated about the Simon's Town / Cape Point fires is that Cape Town has been restoring water supply lost in that area during the fire. If this happened in Joburg or Durban, residents would have no water to protect themselves. DA governance makes a difference.

I really like this method for decision-making I came across last night. Pick two options (or three, or four, but there are diminishing returns) at random, then pick the best one of those.
A favorite load balancing technique at AWS is "the power of two random choices"
On the left, nodes are chosen and used at random
On the right, 2 nodes are chosen at random, but only the minimum is used
This simple technique balances load very well

There was a time when I would have held Ivo's opinion but that time is long past—if the state will not foster a lawful society, it is up to everyday South Africans to do it with the tools available to them—which may include death as a response to robbery.

This tells you all you need to know, folks: vote
@Our_DA
for real results.
Imagine what the tiny mayor can do as premier of KwaZulu-Natal.
The ANC's Cyril Ramaphosa celebrating the opening of a tap is no different from the DA's Chris Pappas celebrating the re-gravelling of a road.
This tells you that there is no fundamental difference between the ANC and the DA.

It's worth noting that much of this scientific research is funded by the public and then it is put behind a paywall by greedy publishers. The public has a right to access the research it has paid for.
Some people don't like to speak favorably about Alexandra because she is a communist, but granting free access to 90 million paywalled scientific articles is without a doubt one of the greatest things to have happened to the internet. Queen of piracy.

Unfortunately, black South Africans mostly refuse to acknowledge their own violent, colonialist history, and in doing so, they deprive themselves of accountability, agency, and, ironically, dignity.
Fellow blacks, as descendants of the Bantu settlers who slaughtered and enslaved the Khoisan, we have lost the moral high ground to regard the whites as inheritors of violence and theft. We share in the occupation of the Khoisan's usurped land. It's time we relinquish this land😏
