I agree with the state. Too often the Vicky Mombergs and Penny Sparrows of this world get away with a slap in the wrist. Let’s get serious,lets get hate speech bill signed and as whites call out racism every time – at Johannesburg, South Africa

Agree
Floyd Shivambu argues that the mayor role should always go to the party with the most votes. Agree or disagree?

Guys how do people travel from OR Tambo Airport to Venda? Attending a wedding next month and will be flying from PE. Self drive is absolutely not an option, I would rather be a passenger.

Great idea Thebe
What a day we had on Wednesday. Urged and inspired by our SPU Convocation leadership and @Letswai94, I championed the inclusion of sport in our celebration of Sol Plaatje’s 150th anniversary, recognising its power to bring people together and develop talent. It was a privilege to welcome one of the world’s finest coaches, Dr @TheRealPitso, to @MySPU to share his knowledge with schools football coaches from across the Northern Cape. Every coach received a copy of his pioneering youth football coaching book, extending the learning beyond the day. Grateful for the partnership of @NCProvGov’s Arts and Culture ministry, and for the leadership and initiative of our SPU Head of Sports, Dumisane Dondashe @DM_RSA. Celebrating a legacy. Sharing knowledge. Inspiring the next generation. #SPW150.

Indeed she does, heroic work
South African born Navi Pillay has been awarded a Nobel Peace Prize This is a powerful recognition of a life dedicated to human rights and international law. From confronting Rwanda’s genocide to defending Palestinian rights, Pillay has stood on the frontlines of justice. Africa’s contribution to global humanity deserves recognition.

Retired judge Edwin Cameron is warning against calls to reinstate the death penalty in South Africa. He says capital punishment is unlikely to reduce violent crime or address the country’s GBV crisis. Tune in to #eNCA on #DStv403.

So sad and sorry, devastating loss
Replying to @GamingNaRoli
Devastatingly, an idiot on the road is why I no longer have parents. Just the most senseless, awful way to lose a loved one.

Am I the only one finding Sibiya"s defense lawyer to be very condescending???

Unutterably vile
I’ve only just caught up on today’s proceedings, and to say I’m disgusted and repulsed is an understatement! So, I totally get this tweet!

It’s not the “very definition“ of racism which is systemic as well as personal Even if we were not involved we bear the legacy and if we are white we enjoy white privilege which is not about being rich but about the inconveniences we never have to share
Replying to @kimheller3
Because most of us were never involved, we’re being blamed because we share the same skin colour. Judging someone because of the colour of their skin is the very definition of racism.
