Rob Davies – Act 1 Scene 1 – the demise of white monopoly capital. A play in one scene

[Enter Post Title Here] The scene – a room in a prime office in Meintjies Street Pretoria.  A nondescript bearded man in a Mandela shirt is reading the news online whilst he fondles his made-to-scale replica of Marx’s gravestone.

bobby the brave, the bolshevik remains

What to do?  My last post which was published on Biznews this morning.  In this article I reverted back to type and poured out my usual anti-davies vitriol, all of which hoped that Rob Davies (uppercase because of search engines) would have declined the post of minster of trade and industry.

The BEE commissioner – zords drawn and ready for battle

You have to give it to the gung-ho BEE commissioner, she really is gung-ho.  And before you take exception to the title it’s a pun on Zodwa Ntuli’s name.  To a certain extent, she is a breath of fresh air – her writing is consistent, well thought out and comprehensible.  This is a not a
