A lesson for young people who work in government that can be drawn from this IDAC experience: Make sure you keep records, paper trail, receipts of communication between you and your bosses. No matter hos nice your boss or immediate supervisor can be. It will save your life one day.
Ms. Ramsamy can at least show a report where she summarised the dockets. One example, she advised that the Section 27 of Fadiel Adams was vague about General Madondo's failing of a Polygraph test regarding her tax evasion. This is exactly what the Commissioners had wondered why it was not done.

Unpopular Truth:
There is an income level that is not solely determined by working hard.
It depends on the job you do, the country you work in, the organisation you belong to, your position within that organisation, and who decides your salary.
And (this is the part that bites the most) who you know and who knows you.

People will constantly attack you in life.
One of their main weapons will be to instill in you doubts about yourself – your worth, your abilities, your potential.
They will often disguise this as their objective opinion, but invariably it has a political purpose – they want to keep you down.

A reflection:
Thank God they decided to close down the PKTT and unwittingly set off a firestorm of fury from General Mkhwanazi.
In scripture we say, “He prepareth the table in the presence of my enemies”.
Sometimes God lets your enemies have their way so He can use you for His righteous will.
The nation is all the better for it.
Happy July 6th.

What happens when you die:
They divide up your shit.
They summarize your life in 500-1000 words.
People who knew you less say sorry to people who knew you more.
Everyone eats, drives home, and wakes up the next day and goes to work.
Whatever you’re worried about won’t be in those 500 words.
You can dare greatly or not at all, but you’re gonna die either way.
Might as well squeeze every motherfucking drop out.

Appearing better than others is always dangerous, but most dangerous of all is to appear to have no faults or weaknesses.
Envy creates silent enemies.
It is smart to occasionally display defects, and admit to harmless vices, in order to deflect envy and appear more human and approachable.
Only gods and the dead can seem perfect with impunity.

Algorithms Are Colonising African Youths
Nigerian historian Iyo Obietonbara argues that social media algorithms are a tool of colonialism, influencing what African youths consider valuable. Instead of building organisations to struggle for liberation, many of our young people are making videos about trivial matters.

Africa has the youngest population on earth and the oldest business regulations.
One of those has to change, and it's definitely not the population.

Just put your head down & build.
That's the only score that matters: build something.
Leave something behind.
Build something bigger than yourself.
At the end of the day, the only score that matters is the answer to the question “what have you built?”
