Is it just me, or has Liam Neeson spent the past 15 years making the same movie again and again?

It's Eskom's 100th birthday tomorrow. The company was founded on 1 March 1923 as the Electricity Supply Commission / Elektrisiteitsvoorsieningskommissie. Have my doubts it will be around in another 100 years!

How long does it take to reshuffle a bloated, incompetent, failed, Cabinet?
It really does seem like has lost the stomach to lead.

Pravin Gordhan lashes out at Andre de Ruyter for calling the ANC a bunch of ideological dinosaurs. I guess the truth hurts...

"They still address one another [at Luthuli House] as comrade, which is frankly embarrassing. They use words like lumpen proletariat, which is ridiculous, because these things were last said in 1980s East Germany." Hear, hear! 👏

De Ruyter says #Loadshedding to get worse in the winter, blames #ANC politics for the confusing decisions about #energy policies and supply.

New tax incentives for solar PV for individuals are disappointing and way too timid - only 25% of capex may be offset against taxable income of individuals, and only for FY 2023/24. No VAT or import duty relief for solar PV panels, inverters or battery storage. Not bold enough.

"Deconfliction purposes." I had to check that was a real word. Interesting quote!
Well worth a read

Ignore the small parties and tactical voting. Don’t fret about any deal-cutting that might follow. SA’s longterm ideological shape will be most shaped by how just 2 parties — #ANC and #DA — perform in next year’s election.

This really is an extraordinary development! To have actively compete with the public broadcaster and seemingly with support of the minister mr President, appoint the board.

Another anti-SABC move & waste of taxpayers money. State-owned Sentech has billed #SABC (its biggest client) anti-competitive fees for years but now plans to launch OTT service IN COMPETITION to @SABCPlus with support of Minister, SABC's shareholder
