Accidentally shuffled on to this song in my archive. It's from 1987 and sums up exactly how I feel right now. Save me, save me from tomorrow. I don't want to sail with this ship of fools.

Great quality video from this fairly big hit in 1987.

SA banks, what is this bullshit about EFT payments only being completed 2- 3 days after being made? It is 2018 with 24/7 computing. Even if you batch that stuff there is no excuse for a payment to take more than 24 hours. @FNBSA @StandardBankZA @Absa @Nedbank @CapitecBankSA

Floyd's argument is using the superior logic of the EFF. He admits that the money came from Sgameka. We know that the only funds Sgameka had were from VBS, but he magically thinks we can't see that. It's like playing peek a boo with a toddler.

Hi @mailandguardian . Am in WhatsApp conversation with your journalist who wrote the story here and he somehow doesn’t know where you get the nonsense that I admitted to getting money from VBS to buy a car. Please explain and I will also write an official letter.

This is a genuine part of the EFF's election manifesto. I'm not sure if they're just trolling, or if they expect people to believe this.

"constantly shouted at" As a middle aged white South African I have never, not once, been shouted at and told to go back to Europe. Maybe it's something that Aaron is doing to provoke it?

As a white South African, I am constantly shouted at here to "go back to Europe". I've only ever visited Europe on holiday, and frankly wouldn't even know any more than the average White American or Australian exactly where in Europe I should go back to since my ancestors came…

DA leader John Steenhuisen says he sometimes misses former party leader Mmusi Maimane on a personal level, but believes there was a "rush to find a leader that looked a certain way" and that Maimane was too inexperienced to lead the DA. | @JasonFelix

The only thing surprising here is that the Daily Maverick continues to publish these incoherent opinion pieces. Mills and Hartley have, in a mere four months, managed to destroy their reputations. They'll be forever tainted as mediocre propagandists.

SANDF at Eskom power stations seems like security theatre. They lack the skills or resources to identify fraudulent coal, they aren't engineers so can't monitor contractors, and the theft of diesel is an inside job. They'll be able to work as perimeter guards, that's all.

I've had a lot of abuse from DA supporters today telling me to "go and read" the expropriation bill because I said the DA is spreading disinfo. So I did, at length, and I'd hereby like to state that I was right. The DA *is* spreading disinfo about EWC.

Given the amount of forensic information available. The years of Zondo testimony. The screeds of investigative journalism. How is it possible that the NPA has fucked up the easiest of the state capture cases? Is this incompetence or worse?

Ivo needs to read more and write less. 1. He needs to read a definition of genocide that isn't pulled out of a twitter meme 2. He needs to learn to understand graphs and what they mean. 3. He needs to understand that showing data up to 2020 isn't really relevant for 2023
