If you've been paying attention, you will have noticed the strategy by now:
1. Captured media identify the target and set the stage.
2. The government almost immediately "notes" the media's reporting.
3. Government launches a suppression campaign against the target.
4. Repeat.
Prettige feit: Gayton was deel van Solidariteit se anti-BELA (basies anti Lesufi) optog, wat terloops by die Voortrekkermonument begin het en by Vryheidspark geëindig het. O gits, nee. Liewer, hy het met sy blouligbrigade laat vir sy eie toespraak daar opgedaag.
1. A privately organised sports event for Afrikaner children — often excluded from school sports events due to racial quotas.
2. News24, the largest news publication in South Africa, demonises said event, calling it an apartheid-era event and claiming that children sang the “apartheid anthem” — completely clueless to the fact that it is a classic Afrikaner folk song about love of country, heritage, and nation, written in the 1930s. They smeared the event so well that they even got the national Rugby, Hockey, and Netball bodies to reject the event.
3. The premier of Gauteng (our richest province) made multiple posts dripping with resentment and hatred, even asking for a list of Afrikaner children’s names so that they can be blacklisted from representing South Africa’s sports teams in the future. The same premier once remarked how disgusted he was to see so many Afrikaner children at a school he visited.
4. The minister of sport also jumped on the bandwagon, condemning the event and completely disregarding the right to freedom of association.
The state apparatus is now going after Afrikaner children. Disgusting.
@BusinessTechSA You mean the taxpayer has been fined R35 million. Why is it not a personal cost fine? This is punishing the victim. Nothing will change, no consequences for the perpetrators.
The only purpose of capital controls is to shield bad policies.
Add a third nation South Africa, which has kept its capital controls and has fallen behind both countries. The embedded potential in South Africa is far better than either New Zealand or Chile. Botswana (also no capital controls) has caught up and overtaken SA as well.
In rand terms, crude oil is now cheaper than in February, yet we're paying R7 more per litre than 4 months ago. Here's the scam:
Today, SA fuel levies are 14x higher today than at the height of Apartheid sanctions.
Originally, fuel levies was introduced to build our National highways, and later for SASOL subsidies during sanctions. It was always meant to be phased out.
The new regime decided not to phase it out, as was the original plan, but instead turned it into a permanent cash cow.
Time to expose it. Full story: https://t.co/EqSaleiCe6
Just to clarify:
Property transfer duties and assessment rates are wealth taxes specifically targeting property owners. Capital Gains Tax and Death Duties are broader wealth taxes. All four of these taxes target property owners. This makes property ownership one of the worst investments because of the incredibly heavy tax burden on top of the maintenance costs. All of these taxes damage the ability of households to build up capital to start SMEs. All of these wealth taxes are direct contributory causes of high unemployment in SA because of the tax erosion on capital formation.
Recycling globalist politician puppets in a political system aimed at privatising everything for private stakeholder profit is never a solution for the ppl‼️ Best SAns appoint ppl to serve that are not privately funded or WEF mandated.

A few quotes from John Steenhuisen:
5 August 2021
“What was missing from tonight’s announcement was a plan to reduce the size of our bloated cabinet, and also to do away with the deputy ministers, of which some departments have multiples.”
11 April 2022
“On top of this, each of our ministries has a deputy minister, and in some cases more than one, who serve no purpose at all…this wasteful jobs-for-cadres scheme.”
14 February 2022
Described the Cabinet as
“A massive jobs-for-cadres scheme where no one is too corrupt, too lazy, or too useless to land one of these plush jobs.”
@IanCameron23@Our_DA I completely agree with everything you are saying, but I'm concerned, as we heard the DA speak out against BELA, NHI, EWC, and it all came to pass under the GNU. Civilian disarmament is part of globalist policies, and the DA's following of these are a bad indicator for FA rights.
If you don’t see what comes next you are blind … the “solution” to the immigration crisis will be digital id’s and travel passes …. They create the “problem” so we beg for THEIR solution .
@mybroadband@LouisNel So basically another old Telegram feature. Just use Telegram instead and at least get better storage management, bots and decent desktop app.
@GovernmentZA@CyrilRamaphosa Why must the race of the company owners be mentioned? And that, by the president. Does section 1 of the constitution not state non-racialism as a founding principle?
@sizwefaithsitho Here is what you are looking for. A growing amount of on the ground people paving a way to a new system, one without political parties: @liberate_sa
Once upon a time, South Africa had some of the cheapest electricity on Earth.
In 2000, Eskom charged around 14 cents per kWh. Your R100 could buy you 700 kWh.
Not 29.
That cheap electricity was built on apartheid-era power stations producing more than the country needed. Cheap coal. Excess capacity. Low prices.
But nobody invested in new infrastructure.
By the mid-2000s, government was telling Eskom: stop building, you have enough.
Eskom warned them they were wrong. In 2007, President Mbeki publicly admitted the mistake.
That same year, load shedding started.
In a panic, government approved two massive coal plants: Medupi and Kusile. Budget: R163 billion combined.
Final cost: over R450 billion.
Why? State capture. Inflated contracts. Looting at every level. The former Eskom CEO revealed corruption was costing the utility R1 billion per month. Multiple executives arrested. A Swiss engineering firm admitted to paying bribes and repaid R2.5 billion.
Someone had to cover that R450 billion.
It was always going to be you.
Since 2000, Eskom tariffs have increased over 1,500%. Inflation over the same period? 180%. Then your municipality adds its own markup on top.
Your electricity did not get better. It got expensive because connected people stole.
R100. 29.2 kWh. The monthly invoice for state capture.
This is the painful reality for many South Africans. We pay some of the highest taxes, yet millions still have to rely on public services that are often under immense strain.
I recently visited Bongani Hospital to see a friend who is a Dr there and, honestly, I left heartbroken. Seeing elderly people waiting in those conditions brought tears to my eyes. At that moment, I simply wished I had the means to take every elderly person out of there and give them the dignity and care they deserve. No South African should have to endure such conditions in a democratic country. 💔🇿🇦
What made it even more painful is that during my studies in Russia, I was hospitalised for two days in a public hospital in Moscow. The experience felt like staying in a hotel. The care, the professionalism and the facilities were exceptional and that was just a public hospital.
I lived in Russia for eight years. Their public transport works, public infrastructure works and basic services function. Yet Russia’s highest personal income tax rate is only 22%.
Meanwhile, here in South Africa, many of us surrender around 41% of our income in taxes, plus VAT and numerous other levies, but millions are still forced to seek private healthcare, private security and private education because public services are failing.
South Africans deserve better. The question we should all be asking is: where is our money going, and why are citizens not seeing the returns they deserve?
