You guys were raised feral rats who do not know Ubuntu. It shows. Luckily, that is not true of most South Africans. Because the next thing you’ll say is that Venda people are insistent on sharing avocados and mangoes from home, as if it’s not a wonderful gesture we all love.

My thing with the Diwali cakes is that why are they so insistent on sharing them? Why not make enough for just your immediate family and friends? I don’t get it.

Randomly still think about how in 1978 Bernie's local paper went around asking people their New Year’s resolutions and everyone’s was like ‘I want to quit smoking’ and ‘finish high school,’ and Bernie was 'I want to make people wake up to the radical change needed in society.'

The "energy" also being our parents attending multiple funerals a weekend as AIDS ravaged the country, while Thabo Mbeki & Manto Tshabalala-Msimang told us to eat beetroot & African potato because Thabo went down an internet rabbit-hole that led to more than 300k people dying.

President Thabo Mbeki was the best president we've had. I wish younger people could experience the energy we had in the country at that time.

It is regrettable that South African policies led to the termination of AGOA for South Africa. This was a predictable and preventable outcome resulting from the rejection by South Africa's government of real concerns raised by the U.S. Government. I remain hopeful that we can find a path forward to address our larger bilateral concerns, but the South African government must understand the gravity of the situation. We know that if America succeeds, so too will South Africa. This is the partnership I will continue to pursue as expeditiously as possible. ustr.gov/about/policy-office…

#Chooseday- Sibhudu Cave, in the KwaDukuza Municipality, along the Thongathi River is an archaeological site that was occupied between about 100 000 and 38 000 years ago. There is also evidence of an occupation during the Iron Age, about 500 years ago. #kznamafa #tuesday

The guy was jailed for kidnapping a woman, robbing her and then throwing off a bridge. They left her to die. Today he is part of the mob that torches buildings with children trapped inside. Jacinta's patriots are thugs. thepost.co.za/news/2026-10-1…

Remember now: Refugee law is part of international law. Y’all can’t be celebrating her prize AND trying to chop through the doors of the Constitutional Court with machetes because its judges tell Home Affairs to process asylum applications properly.

Young South Africans are plagued by the same challenges brought by an uncaring government, but are not moved. They’re only triggered by the presence of foreign nationals.

NOBODY is connecting the dots on these Gen Z protests. India. France. Spain. Chile. Different signs. Same problem. Young people can't get hired. Can't afford rent. Can't afford a house. Can't see a future. At the same time, AI is quietly deleting the jobs they were supposed to start with. Entry-level hiring has COLLAPSED since 2024. You can't tell a generation to "work hard" when the first rung of the ladder is gone. The streets are the only place left. Follow + 🔔. This is going global.
