"Also, what are we creating now that will still be valued and discussed hundreds or thousands of years from today?"

Certainly not your vapid tweets, mate.

Good point, I was looking at the EFF thinking that was the one on the rise due to the bar graph on the very right. It seems the the colours on the map indicate the current year, but that is not included in the trend bar graph, which is a bit confusing.

I was thinking EFF was probably a far right party on the rise and if other countries are anything to go by M.K is probably an even further right splinter. Although this is South Africa so I would expect quite a bit of right already.

Also, in the table all of the parties have 0 seats so that seems like a pointless column.

With your description of his outfit, I'm imagining one of 2 outfits:

Frat boy look with long sleeved undershirt and afro wig.

Michael Jackson impersonator (but with 2 gloves).

Certainly not from black people, they're too biased.

Sounds like he is draining the swamp after all.

It's a cool map, but having zero knowledge about SA politics, I have no idea what it really represents.

Where are each of these parties on the left-right scale? Was Nelson Mandela (my only SA political reference point) attached to any? Who ruled during apartheid? I need some context!

That seems like a great initiative. It seems wild it can be completely undermined because someone famous is having a concert.

Were they staying in hotels, or will the Swifties be sleeping on the streets?

Interesring read I haven't seen it yet and am a fan of ATJs other work, but it kind of backs up my gut feeling she is an odd choice. Though I think I'm mainly disappointed we didn't get more Theron Furiosa.

I definitely will see it, but don't have a burning desire to go out to see it. In fact talking about it is making me more eager for another of rewatch Fury Road instead. I guess others are thinking similarly.

I didn't realise Sweden had conquered Munster.
