So I have a few results after using the NIDS dataset. The below is a table summarizing the effects among employed South Africans.

How are racial wealth and income inequality affected by age demographics? It would also be interesting to understand the effects of white emigration on those metrics β€” younger people are more prone to emigrate, leaving an older population behind with more work experience, savings, property, etc. Also, many young white South Africans leave the country, and when they come back with savings in a stronger currency, racial wealth inequality could increase. I suspect that if this happens on a large enough scale, it will form a spiral where inequality keeps rising and policies to β€œcorrect” it become ever more draconian. Would be interesting to understand the exact impact. Maybe the scale of this is negligible?

Kind of baffling that biltong hasn't conquered the US by now. Superior to American jerky in every way. 1-3 billion dollar industry there for the taking.

Recent Afrobarometer report highlights how local government has become truly rotten in the public's mind.

It just all came crashing down on me to realise that people really don't know that all their data and internet activism is stored in data centres. "No to data centres" is such a preposterous notion, again, that I struggle to accept it is real. Psychosis is right!
