After years of load shedding, South Africa is now sitting with surplus electricity, and the next question is almost stranger than the crisis that came before it: what do we actually do with all that extra capacity? #eNCA Watch the full episode of Number of the Day here:

The depth of corruption is so staggering that it feels unreal. But it is. Trump “rug pulled” hundreds of millions from his fans through his crypto, and now doesn’t even pretend otherwise. We cannot allow this to feel normal. Watch the full video (link in reply)

Jimi Wanjigi: The reality is that William Ruto will go, but this problem does not go with him. This government, the borrowing they are doing per day, is now close to 5 billion shillings per day, 3.3 million shillings per minute, to sustain recurrent expenditure. William Ruto is facing nothing else in the next election; it is him versus the economy, and anybody who sits is going to face the same monster, the economy #CitizenSundayLive

Look at the numbers. The amount of damage done in the last 10 years across every metric you want to measure, is catastrophic. The collapse of growth in Canada from a GDP basis, the collapse of invested capital in the country, debt per capita, foreign investment invested per capita, completely chaotic immigration policy, policy around resources and energy that basically crushed the competitiveness. There is no number you can measure during the mandate of Trudeau and Freeland that isn't a complete collapse.
