@IuliaL27 @elonmusk Why is BBBEE enforced by @CyrilRamaphosa?

He enriched himself and a handful of friends and family into billionaires without doing a single day's work for it.

@eNCA The day the @MYANC Fucked it all up!

[DogeDesigner @cb_doge]

A lot of misinformation from legacy media about Starlink’s entry into South Africa. Here’s the truth 👇

• ❌ “Starlink wants to bypass B-BBEE”
✅ False — it supports transformation via EEIP, a legal framework already used by companies like Microsoft, IBM, and Amazon Web Services.

• ❌ “Starlink is asking for special treatment”
✅ No — it’s asking for equal rules so ALL satellite operators can compete fairly.

• ❌ “EEIP is less beneficial than equity deals”
✅ Reality — Starlink’s plan would connect 5,000 rural schools with FREE high-speed internet, impacting millions of students every year.

• ❌ “It won’t create local impact”
✅ It will partner with local businesses, create jobs, and boost the economy (broadband growth = GDP growth).

• ❌ “It will become a monopoly”
✅ Impossible — Starlink operates globally in a competitive market across 150+ countries.

• ❌ “Security & privacy risks”
✅ It will fully comply with South African laws like every other country it operates in.

• ❌ “Starlink is already operating illegally”
✅ Wrong — it is NOT operating because it is still waiting for a license.

🇿🇦BLACK SOUTH AFRICA, WAKE UP – THE WORLD OWES YOU NOTHING‼️
Wake up, brother.
Wake up, sister.
Not because you’re oppressed. You’re not.
Not because you’re a victim. You’re not.
But because while you dream of struggle songs, the nation your children must inherit is being devoured by your silence.
This is not 1976.
This is not Soweto.
The tanks are gone.
The ballot is yours.
The power is in your hands — and that’s the problem!
YOU DON’T LIVE UNDER WHITE RULE. YOU LIVE UNDER BLACK BETRAYAL.
Since 1994, black leadership has practically ruled every province, every municipality, every state organ, every corner of education, law enforcement, and governance. You marched.
You voted.
You celebrated.
You sang.
You danced.
You had the world’s sympathy, investment, goodwill — and time.
And what did you do with it?
You watched Eskom collapse, candle by candle!
You watched clinics decay and called it transformation!
You watched your children drop out of broken schools — and blamed it on ghosts!
You watched your streets rot while your leaders buy Bee-Ems!
This is not oppression.
This is betrayal!!
Not from afar — from within!
From your own. From those who look like you.
Because when you had a chance to choose vision, you chose vengeance.
When you could build a future, you clung to flags soaked in slogans and pain.
You shouted about Jan van Riebieck — and let Julius Malema loot the youth.
"APARTHEID DID THIS"?
NO!
Apartheid broke your fathers.
But it didn’t break your children... you did.
You chose comfort over calling.
Power over purpose.
You let dreams rot while you danced in parliament aisles.
Apartheid didn’t steal R147 million for Cuban engineers who built nothing.
It didn’t burn over 3,200 schools.
It didn’t delay textbooks year after year.
It didn’t give land to comrades who let it die in weeds.
YOU DID!
Even the post-apartheid housing crisis was worsened not by lack of funds but by mismanagement, ghost contractors, and politically connected elites. Hundreds of RDP houses stand half-built while families suffer.
YOU BURN WHAT YOU INHERIT
You didn’t rebuild.
You inherited roads, bridges, hospitals, and schools — all functional.
You were handed a working nation, and instead of stewarding it, you set it alight...
▪️Over 3,200 schools torched since 1994.
▪️80% of state hospitals rated as dysfunctional.
▪️44 municipalities unable to provide water.
▪️28 million people relying on grants — not growth.
▪️Unemployment at nearly 36%, the highest in the world.
And while the buildings fall, your people pray to bones.
You honor the dead with goat blood and songs — while the living go to bed, hungry, unheard!
Is that honor?
Is that pride?
Is that heritage?
YOU CANCEL THE BUILDERS. YOU WORSHIP THE THIEVES.
What did you do with black excellence?
You mocked Thuli Madonsela.
You spat on Herman Mashaba.
You silenced Mamphela Ramphele.
You turned on Songezo Zibi.
And instead, you crowned liars.
You made heroes of gangsters.
You cheered for men in red overalls who own nothing, build nothing, fix nothing!
You sold out your prophets for poets. Your future for festivals.
THE ANCESTOR DELUSION
You say, “We honor our ancestors.”
But how?
By tearing apart the hope they never had?
By making graves out of schools?
By turning learning into looting?
Your ancestors survived chains.
You survive excuses.
You ask the bones for guidance. But not your own conscience.
You pour beer for the dead — while the living drown in poverty, fatherlessness, despair.
You don’t honor your roots — you worship your wounds.
YOUR STRUGGLE IDENTITY IS A LIE
Being Black does not mean being broken.
Pain is not proof of authenticity.
Victimhood is not a virtue.
You have traded Progress for Protest.
Sacrifice for Slogans.
Responsibility for Rage.
The truth is simple:
You are not cursed. You are conditioned.
Conditioned to expect failure.
Conditioned to glorify backwardness.
Conditioned to call thinking, "White."
Break the conditioning.
Or your children will inherit it.
A NATION OF EXCUSES CAN NOT RISE.
Every time you fail — you blame...
▪️White monopoly capital.
▪️Colonial trauma.
▪️The West.
▪️The past.
*But it’s your vote! Your silence! Your cowardice!*
*You raise your fists — and lower your standards.*
TO THE YOUNG, BLACK SOUTH AFRICANS:
You owe your fathers nothing.
You owe your children everything.
Your parents marched. Then they sold out.
Now it’s your turn. Not to fight — but to fix.
Not to protest — but to produce.
Not to burn — but to build.
You are not your grandfather’s pain.
You are your grandchild’s hope.
Stop defending the failures of men who built nothing. Start becoming men who build everything.
THE ROT IS DEEPER THAN POLITICIANS
The decay goes beyond Luthuli House.
The media still blames apartheid.
The academics excuse chaos in the name of theory.
The poets sing to wounds.
The elites sip imported wine while lecturing the poor on revolution.
The woke intelligentsia defends failing systems under the guise of identity politics, shielding the guilty while the innocent suffer. Truth is rejected in favor of narrative. Achievement is mocked unless it wears victim hood as its crown.
This is not just political failure.
This is moral collapse.
And still — no one weeps. Not honestly.
THE REST OF AFRICA IS MOVING ON
*Rwanda:* once buried in genocide, now leads in governance.
*Ghana:* Freest press system on the continent.
*Botswana:* Least corrupt nation in Africa.
*Ethiopia:* Built the Grand Renaissance Dam — largest hydro project on the continent.
*Kenya:* Silicon Savannah, Africa’s tech leader.
They didn’t march. They didn’t weep. They built.
So must you!
IMAGINE THIS INSTEAD:
Clean streets.
Clinics that heal.
Schools where children learn, not burn.
Leaders who serve, not steal.
Communities that raise fathers, not martyrs.
Imagine a generation that works, reads, prays, creates, and refuses to be owned by the past.
Imagine sons that become engineers, not revolutionaries.
Daughters that become doctors, not political pawns.
This is not utopia. This is responsibility.
It begins when lies die — and you wake up.
FINAL WARNING...
If you don’t change, South Africa will fall — permanently!!!
Not because of Jan van Riebeck.
Not because of Verwoerd.
But because of you!
Your enemy isn’t colonialism. It’s cowardice.
Your oppressor isn’t whiteness. It’s wilful blindness.
Your chains aren’t forged by apartheid. They’re forged by your own hand.
You were free. And you chose failure.
Now wake up. Or die dreaming.
This letter is not racist. It is not hate speech. It is not propaganda.
It is truth. And if the truth hurts — it means it’s working.

@joy_zelda Devastating 😭 My heart goes out to all the parents and families of this tragedy 💔

[Cardio Arena @CadioArena]

One of the simplest ways to relax your lower back before bed is gentle side-to-side movement.

Lying on your back, open your legs slightly and slowly swing them side to side about 60 times.

This helps release tension in the lower spine and hips.

[Charmaine Pretorius @CharzPretorius]

@Holy__Bible1 Amen 🙏 Thank you Jesus

Absolutely heartbreaking news has emerged about Witness D, Marius “Vlam” van der Merwe, hours before his cold blooded murder in front of his wife he told @eNCA @pule_jones and @Abramjee he was going to expose state officials in illegal mining. He was in the frontline fighting illegal mining.
We are in terrifying times in South Africa. Although sad we appreciate the likes of @enca @HeidiGiokos @pule_jones @Abramjee
For exposing the rot.
They are also putting the lives at risk . We appreciate you. We salute you.

[Amjad Taha أمجد طه @amjadt25]

It’s not about @elonmusk. It’s about real questions. Why does Britain today have more extremists than the Middle East, and more rapists rivaling the Islamists of Port Sudan in Africa and Pakistan? And why does your system, @Keir_Starmer, protect Islamist jihadist thugs and rapists instead of protecting its own people?
We fear visiting London, it is no longer safe. Your people deserve better. Your streets are crowded with 300,000 homeless in London alone, and nearly 2 million unemployed. Yet while poverty grows, the Muslim Brotherhood, banned in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, is free to run your streets.

They earn $12 billion a year post tax in the UK. That money doesn’t heal, it poisons. It manipulates. It buys editors, writes your headlines, bribes MPs to brand patriots as “far right,” and even pays off police to silence them.

And what do radicals build with this power? 5,000 mosques, zero hospitals. From these mosques, 1,500 British ISIS fighters were born. Not a single one was banned. Not a single one was closed.

Some lights never fade…
They live on in our hearts, in every quiet whisper of love we still feel. 🌈🐾
Tonight, we remember our furry angels — their paws no longer touch the earth,
but their love still touches everything we are. 💖
