South Africans, in light of advocate Dali Mpofu’s latest loss in court, is anyone keeping score? How many losses, how many wins. Is Mpofu the country’s least successful advocate? He must be in the running.

Coming from a country - the UK - which has had plenty of mad kings whose courtiers keep quiet and pull their moves, I’d say we’ve been in batshit demented territory for a while with king Don (tm)

Great investigation of the Nazis, racists and criminals mobilising the flag-on-lamp-posts movement. This is the kind of journalism that the national media could and should have conducted:

Yes.. having people who might not even know each other warm up to a session by getting insights into who else is there and what they are about is a terrible idea. Ban it! And as for jokes and levity at start.. ban it too
When I am King and Emperor, one of my first acts will be to ban ice-breakers, introductory games, rôle play and pseudo psychology from all professional development courses. The introductory dross is particularly bad. Energy is highest at the start. People want to get on with it. Not play games.

Great map. But from my experience Bristol is a lot wetter than that
3D depiction of rainfall distribution across Great Britain.
England is a very dry place: London gets as much rain as Jerusalem.
With climate change, the south will need to prepare for even more acute water shortages.

It was obvious when EU citizens had the terms of their settlement here retrospectively revoked that a precedent was being set and that, in time, the argument would move on to other categories of migrant, always tending towards a purity test of who is ‘indigenous’. Unless resisted.

This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.

The debunking is based on northern hemisphere data. Here in South Africa, things are different. Alongside industrial agriculture, Thousands of subsistence farmers graze cattle on marginal land. Resist being a liberal environmental imperialist, making one size fit all. It doesn’t.
The debunking has been done by many large studies, including this one from 2018, with findings confirmed by others since: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nub7...
