Chaos at Lanseria. It a free for all on the plane. Even business class passengers are forced to sit in other areas of the plane. Poor controls by ground and flight staff. Can’t believe they couldn’t even keep the first three lines of seats open for business passengers .

Chaos at Lanseria as systems are down and everything from issuing tickets is been done by hand. No such thing as priority as there is chaos. Now told that your pre booked seat may no longer be allocated to you as passengers checking in are not been allocated seats.

LIVING WAGE vs PENSIONER: The LIVING WAGE RISES to £11.44ph for a 35hr week. That’s £20,820.80 pa. If that’s how much is needed to live on then please explain how PENSIONERS are expected to SURVIVE on £11.492pa? They have paid their dues & deserve better. REPOST if you agree.

US Ambassador warns of ANC govt contraventions of its own “non-alignment” policy. Instead of dealing with it they attack the Ambassador. De Ruyter warns Eskom is losing billions a month to corruption. Instead of investigating the corruption they investigate him. See a pattern?

China’s civil service has had a rigorous entry exam for over a thousand years. Countries like the US, France and South Korea have clear, merit and exam-based application systems to enter the public service. We have cadre deployment. dailymaverick.co.za/opinioni…

Eskom is not just a feeding trough for the ANC but for private companies as well which have been feeding from the ailing utility, Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan told Parliament's standing committee on public accounts on Wednesday. | @City_Press news24.com/citypress/busines…

The ANC is trading lives for its old, misplaced loyalty to Russia: "South African households are already battling a government-induced cost of living crisis. Destroying our economic relationship with the US will make that crisis look like a picnic." - Dr Dion George DA MP

Over the past five years, South Africa’s total exports to Russia averaged a mere 0,4% per annum. Russia is the 52nd largest export market for South Africa. China, the US, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Mozambique, India, Botswana, Belgium, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and many other countries are far more critical from an export perspective than Russia. This is not about agriculture but all goods.

It is important to mention that even at the height of Soviet Union support for the ANC, the Soviets took some strategic positions in support of the USA at the UN & the ANC capitulated. Also it was Russia that gave the USA intelligence on SA's nuclear arms. The point here
Unfortunately SA has become a useful idiot in this great power competition. It is completely overstating its level of clout and influence, without deriving any real strategic benefit. Positioning is either ideological, naïve, malicious or (prob) a combination of the above.
