Join me as I explore culture, geopolitics & current events from the perspective of a marketing professional and former reporter in South Africa, the pale tip of the dark continent.

    South African "Scourge" of femicide - fake news

    South African "Scourge" of femicide - fake news

    While crime of all sorts is out of control in South Africa, the media and activists carry water for a government unable or unwilling to do anything about it, by pushing divisive views based on misreadings of official data.

    For three years, the issue of femicide has eclipsed all other crime (even crime that does disproportionately impact women) as a social and political concern, despite femicide being a "rare phenomenon" according official reports.

    ENCA PROPAGANDISES "TRUMP CULT" TALKING POINT

    ENCA PROPAGANDISES "TRUMP CULT" TALKING POINT

    You'd think South Africa has enough domestic problems to pay attention to, without local news agencies feeling the need to add to the mix by spreading the same Western propaganda that's currently trying to burn down America.

    But apparently, eNCA and Jane Dutton think that we need to keep importing American social divisions... just to keep things fresh?



    Funnily enough, according to the logic of their own talking points, they sound like they've joined a cult rather than warning us about one.

    The last chapter in America's 2020 elections

    The last chapter in America's 2020 elections

    2020's almost a month behind us, but America's elections hang on like the ultimate hangover. It seems this chapter in the story will finally be closed tomorrow, so I figured I'd take a look at one of the weirdest plot-points of the story so far, and its implications.
