Newsdeck: S. Africa Signs for South Sudan Oil Block After $1 Billion PlanSouth Africa signed a deal on an oil block in South Sudan as part of a $1 billion investment in the country emerging from civil war. Only the politicians nest of vipers will score from this deal. Any future revenue will go to their pension fund holdings offshore!! More graft being set up crimemind3 The naive assumption being that the risk-adjusted return on an investment in a complex project in a normally war-ravaged country is above than the cost of the US dollar debt used to invest in it. The cluelessness of the cANCer is truly staggering.

Op-Ed: For South Africa to succeed, we need to support Cyril RamaphosaReading the voluminous commentary that has preceded the 8 May 2019 election, one would be forgiven for thinking that we live in a failed state. We do not, and we never will — as long as we fight hard enough. The future of any nation is in God’s hands Whatever we are going to do it’s a movie that the outcomes are already known No one is voting for CyrilRamaphosa that is not how the system currently works. Voting for MyANC will keep criminals in power who should be in jail but they will be protected to continue stealing the next 5 years & sinking SA. Brace for the crash, we are in the end game now. You're not even hiding your support for ThumaMina in the last 48 hours....
