"For years, when Eskom deteriorated under André de Ruyter, we were repeatedly and often correctly reminded of the context he inherited: corruption, sabotage, criminal syndicates, political interference, ageing plants and years of inadequate maintenance.
Yet when Eskom improves under a Black chairperson, a Black chief executive and a predominantly Black executive leadership, suddenly context becomes not mitigation but explanation. The improvement is because of solar. Because of business. Because demand is down. Because of government intervention. Because of reforms already under way. Blah blah blah. And almost on cue, hit pieces from Business Tech, fixating on the CEO’s remuneration, suddenly surface.
South Africa has developed a peculiar evidentiary test for Black competence. Failure tends to come with names attached but success somehow belongs to everyone."

Perception is such an interesting thing. Bombela is still running Gautrain as before Government just now owns it 100%. You’re more aware of any delays because your mind has a target to blame now

We really used to go to the computer lab, get on the internet… and then LEAVE THE INTERNET THERE.

I can’t believe our parents and grandparents survived a genocide and a crime against humanity and some of us today are even thinking of voting for Helen.

Capitalists and its supporters are a funny lot. Hypocrites in fact. When workers complain about the use of cheap labour and non-unionised, they’re told that’s how free market works. When “cheap cars” enter the markets they want protection and subsidies. Makes you think

When you were also a journalist, Credo Mutwa accused you of misrepresenting his 1976 testimony portraying him as calling for the army to suppress the Soweto uprising. His home was attacked, his wife was raped, his children beaten, and he was stabbed and nearly burned alive.He had to flee to KZN!
Before I was a politician, I was a journalist chasing the truth in a regime that wanted to silence anyone who stood against apartheid.
That’s the same conviction I will bring to Joburg if you elect me your mayor on 4 November.
Vote DA on BOTH BALLOTS to get our city working! 🗳️🇿🇦

I can’t believe this tweet is still up. 😭
A cute campaign can change the packaging, but unfortunately it can’t erase the archives. We’re just never going to forget who you are.
