16 January 2019 - Our infrastructure is collapsing, our institutions infected with some dread disease and our leadership compromised and incompetent.
Media
Every week we reach hundreds of thousands of people through placing arguments in the media in support of the principles we stand for. No other advocacy group in the country does as much as we do to promote support for policies that defend your right, and that of your community, to make decisions about your own life free from counter-productive government interference.
16 January 2019 - While much that has changed has been positive, mining has much uneven ground to tread as it enters the final year of the decade.
15 January 2019 - The good news about South Africa’s democratic gains is credible. What is telling, however, is that president Ramaphosa neglected to mention the key thrust of that report.
15 January 2019 - A state that can struggle to distribute drivers’ licences, or to maintain roads and water systems is hardly an ideal candidate to reconfigure society, and judiciously manage the property rights of its citizens. Together, this suggests more continuity than change: a continuity manifesting itself in both the problems and the policy responses.
15 January 2019 - In a best-case scenario, expropriation without compensation will impose a burden on the country’s prospects for some time until investors, domestic and foreign, determine that it is being undertaken “sufficiently well”.

13 January 2019 - Although many – perhaps most – ordinary South Africans are unaware of it, a major stride has already been taken towards a regime of expropriation without compensation-style latitude for the government.
13 January 2019 - Whether overt in the form of massacres or racist remarks on Greek beaches, or seemingly innocuous in the guise of harmless micro-aggression, the supposed prevalence of "whiteness" provides a scapegoat for the prevalence of poverty and inequality, which is blamed not on ANC policy but on "structural and institutional racism". It also provides a pretext for moving to the next stage of implementing the national democratic revolution, namely expropriation of property without compensation – commitment to which was last week yet again reiterated by Cyril Ramaphosa.
13 January 2019 - Uiteindelik is dit aan elkeen van ons oorgelaat om die slegte idees wat die haat en onheil van Suid Afrika se nieumodiese linksgesindes aanblaas, die hoof te bied.
12 January 2019 - The African National Congress’ January 8 Statement and manifesto are reminiscent of what an analyst once said of the country’s foreign policy: ‘a little bit of this and a little bit of that’. Regrettably, these bits are often contradictory, and at times fanciful.
10 January 2019 - Indeed, EWC offers nothing to address the deeper failures of South Africa’s land reform projects – arguably the most serious of which has been the failure to provide the title deeds and support that would make them sustainable.
