There are half a million signatures in the anti-tobacco ban petition. That's 500,000 (yes five hundred thousand South Africans) who oppose this ban. BAT had a problem too with the ban and threatened to go to court, but now they have dropped their case (for now they say). Kieswetter has told parliament how much shit

This is not my work, I didn't write any of it. I took it from JZA's most recent newsletter. I did promise to update this blog when something interesting comes along. I couldn't write this any better myself. COVID-19 Lockdown: Relief Programs for Businesses and SMMEs The President, telling the nation that “We will prioritise
Further to my post yesterday on the worst of times, Ray Mahlaka penned (and Tim Cohen – although the style seems to be more like Ray's) a discussion on this 51% requirement. I mentioned that there were people that are out there that have a political and narrow agenda when it comes to non-black-owned businesses

Well this was the original intention, until bolshie bob was launched upon us. His commie-addled mind could not understand that you can't grow and share if there is no growth. It wasn't a surprise that this little vignette hit the news A day after President Cyril Ramaphosa announced a nationwide shutdown and relief measures to
