We are truly ‘frogs in boiling water’. A year ago Stage 1 or 2 load-shedding was unacceptable. A year later, with Stages 4-6 an every day event, we pray for Stages 1 and 2. No one even raises the possibility of no load-shedding.

120 people made the decision to stay onboard of a SA plane grounded at Warsaw airport for 24 hours, instead of disembarking without weapons. Genius. Who made the decision? Those in business class or economy class?

So Steinhoff’s crooked deals go back to 2001. I have been told PwC has a lot of incriminating emails. If Duduzane’s passport has been confiscated, why has Jooste’s not been? Next time we hear from him will be when he is in Australia and cannot be extradited.

My biggest budget shocker: ‘29,000 public servants + members of the national executive, members of Parliament, of provincial executive, and so on, earned more than R1m last year. The average govt wage has risen by 66% in the last 10 years.’ During that period SA went backwards!

Such ignorance by the writer. Duduzane was the main ‘facilitator’ of Guptas’ State Capture. A business partner in all their dealings. Lives in Dubai. How quickly we forget! ANC needs young leaders and uDuduzane could be one - The Mail & Guardian

At this stage of the lockdown the mental health of South Africans needs more attention. I am exposed to more and more depression, anxiety, pessimism about the future of SA and children having problems by not seeing friends. At least allow social and family bubbles! Groups of 10.

Everyone who contributed did so to stop corruption, reduce poverty and save SA from Zuma, Guptas etc. No one expected anything in return other than a well-run country (excl Bosasa). The other side opted for cash donations in bags. More difficult to track than legitimate donors.

Dear SAA and Numsa. The strike is costing every business in SA money. That cost will translate into cost-cutting. Cost-cutting = retrenchments. Jobs are being lost. Right now. Please stop. There are other mechanisms for addressing issues.

To rephrase, ANC just sacrificed the future of SA children and the security of its citizens to TRY yet again to save something completely unsalvageable. Using our tax money. Education + police vs a bankrupt airline. I personally would like an explanation.

Police and education the biggest losers to fund SAA

The departments of higher education and the police will lose over R1bn each due to spending reallocations in the medium-term budget

NPA should outsource prosecutions to top law firms on a success fee basis. % of money recovered. Top skills chasing top incentives. SA recovers some of the stolen money. Some people actually go to jail. Just a thought.

Pretoria High Schools for Girls and Boys in 1980s were brutal for teenagers who did not conform. Bullying, supported by teachers, was rife. As a refugee with no English I was ridiculed to the point I didn’t speak for 5 years. Only gained confidence to speak English at UCT.
