🇿🇦🚔 Four robbers dressed as cops torture Limpopo farmer in horrific attack Police are searching for four suspects who posed as officers and brutally tortured a farmer during a robbery. According to a statement from the Limpopo South African Police Service (SAPS), the group attacked after waiting in ambush at the farmer’s home in Morebeng, Capricorn, on Thursday afternoon. The robbers, dressed in police uniforms and reflective jackets with their faces covered, had reportedly been on the property for three hours before the farmer and two farmworkers returned home. “The [farmer] became suspicious and tried to run, but one of the suspects allegedly threatened him with a firearm. ”He was then tied up and held at gunpoint while the robbers demanded access to his safe. When he said he did not have one, they assaulted him. “The suspects allegedly assaulted him with a pick and sjambok [whip] and later cut his fingers with a side cutter in an attempt to force him to reveal the location of the safe key.” The robbers eventually located the safe and stole five rifles, one pistol, ammunition, an undisclosed amount of cash, a bank card, and four cellphones. https://www.saps.gov.za/newsroom/msspeechdetail.php @SouthAfricaReports

“The fund will be exposed as a means to enrich a few well-connected black individuals, and then the fund will be shut down when this is exposed.” Roodt said people should encourage this, as it will bring BEE to an end and free South African businesses from onerous regulations. The ANC has already significantly altered its position on BEE by opening up the policy framework for public debate.

The proposal is to increase the total points businesses can score in the Enterprise and Supplier Development element from 46 to 53 if they contribute to the fund. Roodt explained that this marks the beginning of the end of BEE in South Africa, as it signals that companies will eventually no longer have to comply with regulations but will simply contribute to the fund. “I think this is an opportunity to end BEE. I think we should all support the Transformation Fund on the condition that all BEE requirements are eventually scrapped,” Roodt said. “If you want BEE points, then you must pay for them. You put the money in the fund, and once we do that, then it will be exposed for what it really is.” Its just another tax that goes straight into the crony elites pockets. https://dailyinvestor.com/south-africa/148538/nail-in-the-coffin-for-bee-in-south-africa/

🎓🇿🇦 ANC stalwart says it is unacceptable to build an Afrikaans university ANC stalwart and former Minister Naledi Pandor said that it was unacceptable to build an Afrikaans-medium university funded by the community. Pandor shared her views on the new Akademia University in Pretoria during an interview with the African Renaissance Podcast. In the interview, she said that the fact that a university intended to be Afrikaans-medium is being built and receiving billions of rands is concerning. “It is a massive challenge because we are battling centuries of racism and colonialism, and those who have held control do not let go easily.” “Instead, they find alternative ways. They recruit entrepreneurs to act as their tools and work against you.” https://newsday.co.za/south-africa/24885/anc-stalwart-says-it-is-unacceptable-to-build-an-afrikaans-university/ 📝 The R3-billion university is entirely self-funded by Afrikaners and their private institutions. @SouthAfricaReports

🚷 🇿🇦🇲🇼🇿🇼🇲🇿 The South African government repatriated and deported a total of 82 875 illegal immigrants between 29 June and 6 August.

Considering the tactics SARS uses to extract every cent from registered taxpayers to fund the gravy train, it would be silly for these ''unemployed'' to push their hustle economy into formal channels. Actual unemployment is nowhere as high as reported. Most stick to cash only. A good example of this is the minibus taxi industry. A R100+ billion a year industry paying only R5 million in taxes.

While the country’s official unemployment rate increased by 0.9 percentage points over the second quarter of 2026, the expanded unemployment rate remained unchanged from the first quarter at 46.3%. The more it changes the more it stays the same.

To think the PIC used to be the example for sustainable investment practices. Generating consistent returns for the State Pension fund. Now its just another State run organisation being hollowed out by ''wasteful investment'' that generate zero returns.

🇿🇦 Godongwana moves to steady South Africa’s $220bn pension manager after governance crisis South African Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana has appointed a new board for the Public Investment Corporation on 30 July after a governance crisis triggered the suspension of its chief executive, the resignation of its chair and the collapse of its board. The PIC, which manages $220 billion in state assets, is Africa’s largest state asset manager. The move follows two weeks of tensions at the PIC and a dispute between Godongwana and Deputy Finance Minister David Masondo over its management. Africa Confidential reported on 31 July that the technocratic appointments were intended to reassure markets, although unresolved court challenges and a fresh damages claim continue to complicate the reset. #SouthAfrica 🔸 Source @africaintel
