According to Corruption Watch, South Africa went from being one of the least corrupt countries in the world in 1995, ranking alongside Belgium and Japan, to one of the most corrupt countries in the world, ranking alongside Cuba and Kazakhstan in 2026.

A boy from Pretoria, South Africa, has become the world's first trillionaire, but with an American citizenship and an American portfolio. His success is a mirror that reflects South Africa's absolute failure. Elon Musk's historic milestone proves that wealth, progress, and monumental breakthroughs are created through merit, relentless innovation, and visionary execution. They are not created through bureaucratic gatekeeping, red tape, and ideological obsession. South African politicians hate him because his mere existence exposes their profound failure to build anything of lasting value. Elon Musk's story is the absolute opposite of the South African story. Had the environment allowed it, he could have built SpaceX in South Africa. Decades ago, the country possessed a first world military space and missile infrastructure. Instead of being nurtured into a global commercial aerospace hub, it was dismantled and collapsed under decades of ANC mismanagement, state capture, and political patronage. We cannot even talk about Elon Musk freely investing his billions back into South Africa. Despite being born in Pretoria, race based economic policies and restrictive BEE ownership mandates have historically locked out global builders who refuse to bend to political dictation. The South African story has become a tragic tale of what could have been, tainted by toxic governance, race politics, and destructive economics.

South Africans are deeply frustrated and with good reason about illegal immigration and the pressure it places on already scarce opportunities. But the real crisis is not the immigrants themselves. The root cause is our failure, over the past fifteen years, to deliver inclusive economic growth that creates enough jobs, dignity and hope for our own people. This failure has been driven by three systemic issues we can no longer ignore: • A collapse in the rule of law that has enabled corruption, criminality, land invasions, illegal migration, and the brazen theft of electricity and water. • Bureaucracy and red tape that continue to strangle enterprise, deter investment and kill job creation. • Incompetent and, in too many cases, corrupt leadership in key positions across government, state-owned enterprises and parts of the private sector. As leaders, we must have the courage to look in the mirror and ask a difficult but necessary question: How have we allowed these conditions to take root and persist? This question is not about blame. It is about responsibility and that is precisely why it is empowering. It places the power to change things back where it belongs: with us. We are not helpless. We are not victims of forces beyond our control. By focusing on what lies within our sphere of influence our decisions, our standards, our willingness to confront uncomfortable truths and act decisively, we can begin to reverse the damage we have helped create. The time for self-criticism and honest reflection is now. The time for excuses has long passed. South Africa’s future will be determined by leaders who are prepared to own their part in the mess and do the hard, disciplined work required to fix it.

A Back-a-Buddy campaign has been launched to buy a new coffee machine for policeman, Warrant Officer Karl Sander. Sanders, a senior investigator at Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI) or the Hawks in KwaZulu-Natal, this week, Sanders testified at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry in relation to the theft of more than 500 kilograms of cocaine bricks worth R200 million from the Port Shepstone Hawks office in November 2021. Sander told the Commission, set up to investigate allegations of systemic infiltration of criminal syndicates, corruption, and political interference within South Africa's criminal justice system, that at the time of the theft, he was on leave. He added that his coffee machine was also stolen - and that he had to undergo a polygraph afterwards. "I passed. I just wanted my coffee machine back. I didn't get it back," Sander said. As a token of appreciation for his excellent service in the SAPS, South Africans took to social media to raise the funds to buy him the coffee machine. The goal was to reach R5000 and by Tuesday evening more than R49 000 was raised.

From being behind a decade ago, Cape Town now clearly leads Joburg in getting more residents into work. ✅ Meanwhile, Joburg's decline means LESS job opportunities. 💔 Cape Town is fast becoming SA’s jobs capital, with near-record low unemployment. This is not luck. This is what happens where voters choose the DA to govern. 🇿🇦 We can get SA’s cities working for all!

SOUTH AFRICA IS NOW THE WORLD’S LEADING CITRUS EXPORTER. South Africa has overtaken Spain and is now the world's leading exporter by volume. Citrus is the leading agricultural export product, accounting for 17% of South Africa’s agricultural exports of US$15.1 billion in 2025.

Thank goodness the DA governs Cape Town and spent years investing in disaster management teams and equipment. Insane storms at the moment. If these conditions were hitting Joburg with its two functioning fire trucks the city would be in state of total collapse. Apocalypse vibes.

Joburg doesn’t have a water consumption problem. It has a water loss problem. Up to 46% of the city’s treated drinking water never reaches a tap. It is lost to leaks, burst pipes and failing infrastructure. Time to close the ANC’s taps!
Another day and another massive water leak in Joburg, this is in St David Road Upper Houghton. Our last hope to fix this broken city is to elect Helen Zille as Mayor in November!
