"A decade after Fees Must Fall students demanded free and decolonised education there are still people who misunderstand what a decolonised education means. Some still think its about learning economics in isiZulu or inventing African physics. Such unserious thinking trivialises a serious intellectual and political project. For serious people decolonised education has little to do with translation. Its about rethinking the foundations of knowledge which shape what we call truth. Take the example of economics. In the book Decolonizing Economics: An Introduction the authors argue that mainstream"

"Lets talk about how Joe Slovo successfully proposed the Sunset Clause. In short the Sunset Clause was an agreement in 1992 that there would be a coalition government for five years following democratic elections guarantees for civil servants and an amnesty process. This proposed arrangement involved the gradual phasing out of White rule rather than a revolutionary handover of power. The Clause ensured that White institutional power survived the transition particularly in the civil service the military the police and most crucially the economy. Now besides the obviously controversial nature of"

"How China Catfished Elon Musk The catfish effect is when you drop a catfish into a tank of sardines and the sardines start swimming faster harder desperately trying to not get eaten. The result is fitter fish that taste better. In economics this is an old metaphor for competition. China played it with Tesla. In 2018 China did something it had never done before. They let a foreign automaker build a factory in China that it could own outright. No joint venture no forced technology-sharing agreement no local majority stake no Chinese Economic Empowerment. Elon Musk got what no one else had: free"

"When you point out that Capitec the peoples bank with millions of Black South African customers is owned and controlled by White men many of those very customers rush to defend it. Theyll say things like Why make it racial or Start your own bank then These emotional reactions reveal a phenomenon I call Capitec Syndrome which is the tendency of the oppressed to defend institutions that exploit them especially when those institutions offer symbolic inclusion. Capitec presents itself as efficient and for the people. Its affordable and technologically slick. For millions of Black South Africans"

"Lets talk about the real reason why they oppose BEE. South African liberals led by the DA the Free Market Foundation and the Institute of Race Relations give many reasons why Black Economic Empowerment is bad. Theyll tell you its inefficient corrupt anti-meritocratic and even reverse racism. What they dont say is how BEE actually serves the capitalist system they defend. For all their moral panic about BEE distorting the market the liberal establishment is mum about the fact that BEE was never designed to challenge the market in the first place. As Dr Metji Makgoba argues in a 2022 article"

"The Department of Transport is looking into developing a XXX km/h high-speed railway between Johannesburg and Durban. The China Railway Group is the fastest cheapest and most reliable builder of such projects. No one else comes close. In terms of speed cost and technical capacity Chinas state-owned rail firms easily outperform their Western competitors. They are able to design finance and construct new lines at roughly HALF THE COST per kilometre seen in Europe or Japan and in HALF THE TIME. On technical grounds Chinese high-speed systems have proven reliable and adaptable across environments"

"Many Nigerians are under the impression that in his outburst Donald Trump was threatening Islamic terrorists when in fact he was threatening Nigeria the country itself. Trump said he was designating Nigeria a COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN. This is a state-level designation under the US International Religious Freedom Act applied to entire countries not to non-state groups or terrorists. It means the US government is officially asserting that the Nigerian state is failing to protect religious freedom or is complicit in abuses. Second Trump said The United States cannot stand by and that"

"This Business Insider Africa article celebrates African ownership of gold mining which is really nice. But underneath the surface theres a persistent problem thats keeping Africa perpetually poor: the extractive lowvalue-chain economic model of mining. So even though theres a rise in African entrepreneurs owning mines most of the continents gold industry still revolves around raw extraction and export instead of refining or value addition. That means Africa digs the gold out exports it in raw form and then imports finished goods jewelry and financial instruments like bullion or ETFs made from"

"Heres another reason why South Africa is going nowhere: Sentech is threatening to cut off the SABC over a billion rand debt potentially cutting off public broadcasting services to millions of South Africans. This situation is another textbook example of the states stubborn adherence to an absurd economic ideology. Its almost comical if it werent so destructive. The ridiculousness of this situation lies in how the state has created various state-owned entities (SOEs) and arms-length corporations such as SABC SENTECH and Eskom and then forces them to operate as if they are independent"

"Westerners worship capitalism because it freed them from what came before. (If youre lazy to read see the next tweet in the thread and click on the link to listen instead👂🎧) Anyway so until about XXX years ago free people were a minority in Europe. Only kings and nobles were free; everyone else was a serf and was subject to the lords and had little to no freedom. Under this arrangement the nobles owned all the lands so anyone who wasnt a nobleman was automatically doomed to serfdom. Because everyone needed a place to live the serfs were forced to work on the noblemans land where he would"

"Here is a statistic I see repeated often: In South Africa XXX XXX people or XXX% of the population pay XXXX% of all personal income tax the governments biggest revenue generator. This is used to show that the country doesnt have money because revenue is too low. Now its true that South Africa has approximately XXX million individual income taxpayers alongside XX million grant recipients. But the interpretation of these numbers is economically problematic. The key and most obvious issue here is that this narrative treats South Africa as if it were a household or business that must earn money"
