Disclaimer: please excuse the uppercase usage for zuma, gigaba (abagig to this blog), davies (should be bolshie bob) and dud miyeni (in the land of sheer incompetence this one truly stands out, we are talking mkhwebane incompetent). It’s been almost a week since Cyril’s SONA and our initial euphoria has been tempered by Gigaba’s reality biting […]
Our good friend and dyed in the wool minister of trade and industry declined to sit on the anc's NEC in December. My thinking was that bolshie had done enough destruction for one lifetime, something which the country will pay for dearly long after bob is communing with Marx, Trotsky and Lenin in the hereafter,

Dear Cyril Ramaphosa (notice the uppercase – there are very few aNc [one third uppercase] politicians that I refer to in the uppercase) We've not met before although I have met a few of the people at your foundation and I am really impressed with the work that it does. My name is Paul Janisch and

You might have heard that the gupta-leak database is being made available to any investigative journalist who may have an interest in our dear country trashers. Alec Hogg sent out a notice last night telling us that But even worse came later for the plundering friends of president Jacob Zuma. At the request of the

This is an updated version of an earlier post Recently (actually 2011 but the sentiment remains and the language is much stronger) my friend Kevin announced that the ANC couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery. This is an appreciation of the anc government's ability to organise a piss-up in a brewery, or organise anything for

A persistent question arises from the chamber’s affidavit: why did it not at the time contest the second iteration of the charter implemented in 2010 when it contends so strongly in the affidavit how unhappy it was with some of the clauses? It does make the point that it did not sign the 2010 charter.

It would be a mistake to react to the recession by focusing only on the growth of established business and letting economic transformation fall by the wayside, said Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba on Thursday. Addressing the media to chart the way forward following South Africa’s entrance of a recession, Gigaba said during the meetings government

There are two personages that should not be spared today's vitriol. awdoz is the bee commissioner – great name when spelled backwards. wabenzi-gupta boy's name spelled backwards is enawz. awdoz and enawz are attempting to rule by decree. Let's start with enawz (you can pronounce is ehnause or eenouse if you choose). enawz has pushed
