Macassar is a town located in the Western Cape province of South Africa, near the city of Cape Town. It's part of the City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality and sits close to the coastal stretch along False Bay, near Strand and Somerset West. Here are a few things to know about Macassar: Geography: + It lies southeast of Cape Town, along the N2 highway. + It’s considered a peri-urban area, meaning it’s on the edge of the urban sprawl. + It borders parts of the Helderberg region and is not far from wine routes and coastal zones. Community: + Macassar is a residential area with a diverse and close-knit community. + It’s historically rooted in the coloured community and has a strong cultural identity. + Like many areas in South Africa, it faces challenges such as unemployment, housing shortages, and service delivery issues, but it's also full of resilience and local activism. Fun Fact: + The name "Macassar" has roots in the Indonesian city Makassar (also spelled Macassar), tied to the history of Sheikh Yusuf, an exiled Indonesian Islamic leader who settled near the Cape in the 1600s and is buried in the area. His kramat (tomb) is a site of spiritual significance and pilgrimage.

He’s somewhere between a parody and a prophet. He’s dropped verses about taxis, takeaways, and territorial pride, and somehow, it slaps every time. Guess the rapper with more slang than a WhatsApp group in Bellville. (Hints: hyper-local references, comedic-yet-clever lyrics, Western Cape roots)

BUDGET 3.0 (21 MAY 2025)
Budget 3.0: Godongwana’s Make-or-Break Moment. Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana is returning to Parliament to table his third attempt at a national budget this year. His first two efforts failed, largely due to a proposed VAT increase that triggered legal action, political revolt, and nearly collapsed the coalition government. Now, with VAT hikes officially scrapped, all eyes are on how he plans to plug a R75 billion budget hole without triggering economic or political meltdown. If Budget 3.0 fails again, automatic spending ceilings could kick in, slashing funding to critical services like health, education, and struggling SOEs like Eskom and Transnet. That could stall service delivery, spark protests, and deepen distrust in the government of national unity (GNU).
