I've been using Twitter for 14 years, and I'm only just discovering that you can take a screenshot of a tweet by replying to this with your social security number.

I’m absolutely disgusted by the vile insinuations that Diwali treats carry sinister intent. Turning an act of generosity and cultural goodwill into something malicious is deeply offensive.

now THIS is how you do a video about the congo basin: not sensationalising it as one of earth’s most dangerous places, but recognising it as a lived landscape, home to communities who have travelled, traded and navigated its waterways for generations. not an adventure spectacle.
Life in the Congo Basin (my favourite corner of the world) 🥰 #thepopishow

My Indian colleagues got us Diwali treats. I am watching everyone, including Christians eating the treats and I am thinking about how we (Christians) refuse to eat meat slaughtered for ancestors but re busy ka Diwali 💀

Some of you here glitch when either your employer or your bank delays your salary by a day or two. Tatjana had to use more money and lawyer up to force the federation to pay her what is due to her.

You don't have to invent a backstory for not liking Indian people. If they're racist and you want nothing to do with them just say this. Not sure why you feel compelled to make up melodramatic stories about being forced at gunpoint to eat cursed food. You sound like Americans 🤣

Tatjana has the privilege of an alternative. A privilege that a lot of athletes don’t have. That much is true. But she is not the one in the wrong here. Ultimately this is her job and her livelihood. The smoke needs to go to the sports administrators that failed her…
Not people saying Tatjana Smith is using her privilege to and swim for the Netherlands. She was done dirty by administrators of sport in South Africa. Imagine telling a whole Olympic athlete that who worked so hard to get to that level while sitting in your armchair.

if you want to say you don’t like indians because they are racist that’s fine and i’ll be right there agreeing with you about anti-Blackness among indians - but we can’t be saying food people give out on religious occasions is cursed: i hope we all can see the difference there

Sana, you guys refuse to do geography, because how on earth is Angola, which shares a border with Namibia and has parts of its country on the same longitude as Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Malawi, not considered a Southern African country?
I am not going to fall for this propaganda of Angola being in Southern Africa. There are only five countries in this region and they know themselves.

So grateful for @GabbySidibe breaking down the antifatness, colorism, shapism, etc. that so many of us experience in this world. Similarly I know I’m stunning but not by societal standards and my treatment by others has been laced with antifatness.

I don’t think anyone has had a worse tenure as minister than 🏳️‍🌈🥫 in the Department of Sports Arts and Culture

People are bitten by snakes in the rural areas and are dying because our clinics don't have antivenom. Futsek ANC! 💔

Having a good relationship with your family (especially parents and elders) is a matter of luck and privilege, not a testament to one's character
maybe it’s the lesbianism but “good relationship with family” has always felt like a ridiculous dating non negotiable.

"We stepped in..." kusho uminister, oh nake naslaya kodwa!
Thank you, we stepped in when Hockey needed money, we stepped in when Chess SA needed assistance, all Federations get a grant from government, you might dislike me but don’t apportion blame based on your feelings, read up and understand before you come for me.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Blame is being “apportioned” to you because you misrepresent how funds are allocated. The statement implies all money goes towards Sport, however the minister himself was responsible for R31m being used for private, none sports related travel. news24.com/sport/soccer/w…

It’s really sad that our crime is so bad that it changes how we interact with people. It’s so hard to help abantu cause there are just so many scams and you just can’t trust anyone. I hate that ☹️
