How academic these last few years have been for society!

The Mercury

September 29, 2025

HOW academic these last few years have been! Events that were once exclusive to the realms of the scary American: “The Twilight Zone’, “Tales of the Unexpected” and “Ripley's Believe It or Not’, have now reached the reality screen of 140mm width, complete with technicolor, VistaVision and modern Kodak colour.

All available to view in our modest lounge and even on the mega screen in the toilets of the ultra-wealthy of Westville!

John Donne's claim that “Death should not be proud” has been shown again and again and is still being shown, in real present time, as the scores of thousands of harmless, unarmed children, women and youth lose their arms, legs, and ultimately their lives in Gaza. All of us have now reached immunity status. Even the guilt and pain that first gripped us just after October 2023 has vanished.

Believe it or not! Suddenly nobody cares. Death who?

Many other strange-but-true marvels have entertained us. Meantime, Netanyahu, wanted and legally, instantly, arrestable in nearly all countries, walks in and out of the hideout of the-gathering-of-the-eagles, also known as the UN headquarters, with full impunity and immunity!

Transforming Trump's G20 snub into a strategic advantage for South Africa

THE announcement by US President Donald Trump that South Africa will be “uninvited” from the 2026 G20 Summit is, at face value, a diplomatic provocation. But beneath the headlines lies a far more consequential opportunity: the chance for South Africa - with its business leadership at the forefront - to redefine its global narrative, champion multilateralism and strengthen its position as a bridge between the West and the Global South.
