There’s a name for what’s happeningRabbie Serumula|Updated 13 minutes ago 2minTransformation was always supposed to take time, unless your name is Elon Musk. Then the rules bend, the red tape vanishes, and the skies open up for business. A space cowboy from Pretoria beams Starlink over our heads, no licence, no problem. No 30% black ownership. We built policy to correct the past, but it seems all it takes is a billionaire with a broadband signal to bulldoze the future.

SA had been flattened into a single chantRabbie Serumula|Published 27 minutes ago 2minThere’s something deeply unsettling about hearing your country’s name mispronounced by power. Especially when the syllables arrive dressed in accusation, wrapped in myth, and aimed like darts at old wounds. But instead of rage, South Africa’s president offered something rarer: clarity. In that calm, the nation saw itself; fragmented, yes, but also fiercely intact.

Now the story has collapsed, but they are still trying to live as if it is trueRabbie Serumula|Published 21 minutes ago 2minFear is a strange inheritance. It doesn’t care how many acres your family once farmed or how many verses your anthem carries. For some, the end of political dominance feels like an apocalypse. And so they run; not from bombs or famine, but from a world no longer arranged in their image. These are not refugees of war, but of reckoning.

Murderers confessed and walked freeRabbie Serumula|Published 10 minutes ago 2minRabbie Serumula, author, award-winning poet, journalist. Picture: Nokuthula MbathaImage: File PictureSouth Africa made a deal with itself in 1994 to trade justice for peace. The South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was a noble idea, but it was also a compromise. Murderers confessed and walked free. Victims told their stories and waited for justice that never came. Some were denied even that.

And yet, here they are, waving the victory flag, hoping no one reads the footnotesRabbie Serumula|Published 6 minutes ago 2minRabbie Serumula, author, award-winning poet, journalist. Picture: Nokuthula MbathaImage: File PictureThe Democratic Alliance didn’t stop the VAT increase. They tried to bargain with it. Now they want the applause. But behind their staged moral outrage lies a letter to the President offering to back the tax hike if government agreed to drop land reform.

| Published 16m agoIn April 2025, the Institute of Race Relations (IRR) released polling data that has set tongues wagging across South Africa’s political landscape. For the first time, the Democratic Alliance (DA) allegedly edges out the African National Congress (ANC) in national support. On the surface, it reads like a game-changing moment. But a deeper look raises serious questions, not just about the findings, but about the messenger.
