I realized sometimes the people who make the most jokes, and make other people laugh is because they are hurting so much inside.

Forever! Everything I ever did was to inspire my younger brother. He has surpassed my expectations, I don’t think you can wish for anything better. ❤️ – at Paarl, South Africa

It is so strange to hear EFF spokesperson Sinawo Thambo characterizing the IFP as apartheid collaborators with a bloody history. Not too long ago we were told that only self-hating blacks reject Buthelezi and what he stands for.

⚠️ BRAZIL’S DEMOCRACY IS UNDER ATTACK ⚠️ The police and the armed forces are, at this moment, carrying out a coup d'état against our democracy. There are roadblocks placed in several states where Lula has won at the first round to prevent citizens from voting.

And the president even had cornrows @Bafana_Nhlapo Different story now though
I met an older man who told me his SRC at Wits Uni fought for the use of student numbers rather than names on scripts when writing exams. He says before that, it was near impossible to get a degree with a black name. Some things we benefit from and don't know who gave us.
