@sibumabena Just realised that my mom has already done this and by the very few comments I’ve read it seems our parents have this file. So I’m hoping that we do this as young ones, as siblings we too need to have this conversation and files.
I am seeing more and more conversation taking place about the the threat the gambling industry is to our communities. So I am posting my conversation with Trevor about this issue again.
Again, I urge you to listen to this, especially if you’re struggling with gambling. Trevor and I spoke about online sports betting. Some of you know I lost my brother to suicide because of his addiction to it. Without me knowing, Trevor stopped accepting betting companies as advertisers on his podcast. In this clip, he and Ryan (who’s off screen) make some very sharp points about how these companies operate and the sneaky, manipulative tricks they use to get people to spend all their money.
After my brother took his life, his therapist called me and said of all addictions, gambling is the most likely to lead to suicide.
It destroys families, lives and obliterates futures.
I would like heavier and more regulation when it comes to sports betting when it comes to advertising, accessibility and sponsorship. People are not saving money, not paying school fees etc, because of gambling. The government is simply not doing enough to curb this pandemic.
See the whole podcast on Spotify or YouTube, What Now? With Trevor Noah.
@naledi_mabee I hate how South African women tend to forget how often women have to be "nice" to men just to avoid things from escalating, and this was clearly one of those situations🤦🏽♀️
People don't believe you my mommy most of the time. They get shocked and amazed. Some even think you download my pictures on the "internet" or l'm a model. Real truth is, you my mommy, my bff and my rock. You gave birth to a dynamite. God bless you and Happy Mothers Day ❤️
@PhilMphela Those who are saying she probably had no skills, did her department make efforts to equip her with the relevant skills so that she can be ready to take over the post of management? Why are they starting now, probably after years, to equip her with relevant skills? They were wrong
So @AldrinSampear is saying that at no point did he assault the driver yet you can see him shoving her and take note how one of the vehicles passing by starts hooting at him. Stop lying Aldrin, it's very clear you pushed her.
Assault is defined as "Making physical contact".
Aldrin was wrong klaar! Emotional intelligence & control was crucial in situations of this nature. Exercise restraint, calm and maturity. She being white got fokkol to do with anything. Let's not support abuse underpined by racial bias.
