Kolonis van 'n spesiale soort
Op een of ander wyse moet ek en my mense in staat gestel word om ʼn lewe te maak in Afrika op ʼn mensewaardige wyse, sonder diskriminasie en die status van “kolonis van ʼn spesiale soort”.
Ons is te min om deur “gewone” politieke kanale hierdie omstandighede van onderrukking te beëindig. Dit sal deur nie-politieke wyses nagestreef en bereik moet word; insluitend om die hulp in te roep van wêreldmoondheid wat verstaan en simpatie betoon.

The ANC’s priorities for South Africa
The ANC has presented its traditional January 8th statement during the weekend. During this occasion, it has spelled out its usual Utopia aims for the country, and itself, for 2026. As usual, in practical terms, be afraid, be very afraid. (Ag, don't worry, as usual, nothing will happen).

The ANC's 5th National General Council
The ANC cadres are not the excellent creators they believe themselves to be; they are destroyers. They contaminate everything they touch. They have turned South Africa into a mafia state, a failed state. And they are still at it.

Zuma se "strategiese briljantheid"
Dit is nou-al jare lank wat ek in stilte luister na kommentators se aanmerkings oor die “briljantheid” van Jacob Zuma. Verdere uitbreidings op die tema sluit in “wiley old chessplayers”, “strategies briljant” en meer genuanseerde uitbreidings op hierdie sê-goed. Die ander dag het ek selfs vir Pieter Groenewald hoor aanmerkings maak oor Zuma se briljantheid as ʼn politikus.
Ek is jammer, maar ek kan dit nie sien nie.

John Steenhuisen
As I see it, South Africans like myself is in a crisis. We are deliberately marginalized and discriminated against. We need a strong, steadfast leader with vision and determination to fight to stop the discrimination. I don’t need John the uneducated ANC cadre, thank you very much.

South Africa’s generation of brilliant tenderpreneurs
The Leaders of Our People, the only Society that matters, are already busy extending BBBEE rules to all sectors of the economy. The Expropriation Without Compensation Act has been based. Not long, and the racists land thieves will be kicked off the land of our ancestors – and I will be a farm owner. As a beneficiary of the Redress Laws, I will extend my brilliant and innovative business practices to the private sector.

Floyd Shivambu, and the big egos of South African politics
The populist icons of South African politics have enormous egos; all believing that they are greater than the Ideas they are proposing. Some actually are; some not. However, none of them are bigger than perception.

Education in South Africa is chaotic
SETAs, SAQA, accreditation, NSFAS. The South African educational system has created bags full of money that have became cesspools of corruption and looting, while competencies and skills have deteriorated into the gutters.

Transformation
I don’t support transformation; not in the manner in which it is applied in South Africa.
