EDITORIAL: Mulder’s clumsy gift to Zuma
	Pieter Mulder accepted the position of deputy agriculture minister on the basis that he could contribute positively in critical areas such as land reform; last week he failed his party and his country.

TIM HARRIS: Fiscal policy can give us the 8% annual growth we need

‘The DA’s model shows how we could ramp up infrastructure spending by injecting private capital into state assets’

THAMI MAZWAI: Scrapping the tender system won’t create jobs

We have treated small business development as an add-on for too long. It is the most effective instrument to grow our economy and skill the millions on the ground.

PETER BRUCE: The Thick End of the Wedge — The Editor’s Notebook

The ANC will, of course, do its best to fall apart all on its own over time but I would have thought the DA would at least want to look as if it played a part in the whole thing

TIM COHEN: Much effort for little extra return in mine supertax

Finding a new basis on which to slice off more tax, particularly in an industry-specific way, gets you quickly into a room with people shouting at each other. Government should really avoid this route.

LUCY KELLAWAY: The art of penning your own ‘brief bio’

Short bios are the trickiest of literary genres. How long should they be? What should they contain?

STEVEN FRIEDMAN: Judges are people with beliefs and values too

‘More is at stake than grubby power-holders trying to stop high-minded courts protecting the constitution’

OPINION: SA willing to sell out its founding values

Is SA revisiting its commitment against the death penalty? The government’s appeal to the Constitutional Court tomorrow suggest so.

DAVID GLEASON: Torque

Do not rely on the workers’ compensation system to provide for you if you get injured at work; the system may add insult to injury

GARETH VAN ONSELEN: On Status

What is it that compels some, on achieving a certain status, to elevate it above their own character, as if wholly subsumed by their new station?

PATRICK BULGER: Forward to people’s mathematics!

Maths is easy, and instead of being the totem of our shame, we can make it work for us
