The only time I want to hear Messi and GOAT being used in the same sentence is when we compare things that enjoy spending their time loitering around a patch of grass

Won't lie. That African studies library at UCT nurtured my passion for African politics and which laid the foundational stone for my professional career. That library was as familiar and comforting to me as my familial home. Devastated to see it engulfed in flames

Nigeria is now essentially facing secessionism in the North-East, South-East and South-West of the country. How long can and will the centre hold?

The EFF pivot toward the ANC leaves the DA rudderless but keeps the ruling party honest in committing to pro-poor socio-economic reform. People derided them as silly & crass, but the EFF has outwitted, outplayed & about to boot-out their 'experienced' political competitors.

When I see the comments of the likes of Pat Symcox, Boeta Dieppenar & Cullinan, I have more respect for black cricketers who must deal with prejudice from their own teammates while trying to compete at the highest level

An investor who canned an 8bn investment in South Africa without awaiting the findings of the Parliamentary Committee Ramaphosa assigned to formulate land reform policy either wasn't serious about investing or simply didn't exist to begin with.

Just got off the phone to an international property investor who has canned an R8 billion investment in South Africa which would have created hundreds of jobs because of uncertainty caused by #LandExpropriation !

An untold story in the #coronavirus pandemic is that Botswana was among the first countries in Africa to suspect #covid19 infections on 03 February. The response to suspected cases was rapid & decisive. Good governance goes a long way in keeping people safe

Good morning Batswana, I wish to personally thank all of you for having done a splendid job so far keeping Corona Virus at bay. If we maintain these same levels of discipline and stick to advise from professionals we have a real chance of escaping without a recorded case.

So with date zero being brought forward, Cape Town is set to potentially become the first major city in the world to exhaust its water supply. Those that claim they govern the best run city cant literally even run a bath
