I like to often remind myself when life gets difficult that unfortunately i am a descendant of slaves so i literally think about my great x ancestors however many must have experienced in order for me to be here. Its quite sombering.
I have a radical idea and that is to bring the country to a standstill force government to listen, not by burning buildings. Just every one stop voting.
No to the DA no to the ANC no to all of them.
If they cant get enough of a turnout they have to run elections again and repeatedly till they have enough voter turnout.
Watch government beg us.
I know it’s clickbait. But its also about perspective, we hold our government to the standard of European governments - countries that are benefitting from the South African brain drain because of us achieving 1994 democracy.
The reality is that by his family and many others like them leaving are one of the many root causes for his alleged “genocides” they are part of the machine that when they had the opportunity to be part of the change in ZA, they chose not too. Them like many other white people who left took all the life rafts but one with them.
These ex white south africans need to understand that not all harms are directly due to apartheid but a lot of the harms are due to the benefits they received, felt entitled to, and took.
It also means South Africans need to change our views on the ones who stayed, who continue to fight for inclusion but also contribute to making the country thrive. ❤️
On election day, why doesn’t everyone just stay at home. Cyril have to reschedule and go on tv and tell us why voting is so important. We all just say no again. When they start asking what we want from our government then maybe we vote. Then we will see the true unity between DA and ANC. These guys they all chat to each other on whatsapp. Its all fake.
@hamptonism It shows he doesnt know the world.
Legally you cannot submit an AI written tax return. Then when you have an error. Say that the AI did it. You will still go to court for tax evasion. Question is at that point will you risk your life with an AI lawyer?
@amasad here is the fatal flaw in Replit, you pigeonholed the company. It just becomes one of many tools, huggingface alone has an entire directory.
You are still catering to a market that no longer needs you. Your customer is me. And there are so many of us. We figured out the AI business models that work. We have 200 builds on a ad budget off less than 1000 usd. In 5 months. Software engineers arent the gods of the future. Its the social sciences. #GiambattistaVico
Our vendors include a multitude of AI tools base44 emergent etc and base44 outpaces you with value in the fact that they have agency programs. Like bruh. You did it first with bounties. 🤦♂️
Now the question is what is Google Missing - Replit. The moment they realize that and AI studio becomes as great as Replit. You done for.
The integrations on enterprise plan dont make sense. Clickup is built for agencies and this is like a hail mary for clickup that when an enterprise user connects to clickup the boss is bit going to ask why are we still using clickup? Why havent we built this?
Bytedance is entering the field and they have lark and trae and tiktok. Do you know what they are missing? Replit.
Bruh 😵💫 base44 is just going to be another advanced wix. Because wix is dying. Are you going to be the last titans of a bygone era. The agorapulse, hootsuite - who are they again … of vibe coding.
Wheres the innovation?
You are 100% correct the current issues in South Africa is not just because of Apartheid.
Citizens must also accept responsibility. I am so glad you are acknowledging that your parents benefited financially from unjust apartheid policies.
The mass exodus of tax payers pre 1994 were strangely were mostly white and were also strangely the primary contributors to the tax system in ZA, perhaps only because Apartheid favored them. 🤷♂️
Some say security they left because of security but if we call it what it is which is just racism because in reality they didn’t want to live near people of color and took with them hundred of billions of dollars of tax revenue that would helped with rapid economic transformation across the country during a crucial time might be the real reason.
Because of your parents racism, our people have had to dig behind the sofa to find small change to upgrade an national infrastructure designed to service only 5 million white people having to now serve 65 million people off all races.
So it almost seems like South Africa should start seeking reperations from everone who benefited from Apartheid and left between 1985 and 2000, a period when South Africa really needed them.
@MTNza@mtn what happened here? What is your definition of a call answered, or did you not know how to write that in the three minutes, your call will be directed to a recording machine, where you can select a number of pre-recorded messages that may or may not be what you are looking for.
I think it is reasonable to expect to find a human to actually speak to when someone calls a call center, so I suggest updating your t&c's to reflect the truth of your service because this is the kind of thing that turns corporations evil.
The expected result of making a physical phone call is to actually speak to a human person. And not AI either, so don't get ideas.
Thanks,
Your customer.
Here is my conspiracy theory:
It was the correct decision. Nobody could have channeled britney more then Myki in that group. If it wasn’t myki there was a chance ciara would stayed.
In my humble opinion this episode was more like Survivor. I think they were all put off by Ciara and all her manipulation so i think the real discussion that they didnt show us amongst the girls wasn’t about who deserved to win but rather who they wanted to go home.
Untucked was like “the ciara show” …
i believe way before they went into the challenge the girls already settled on Myki to take on Ciara and I would like to believe its because Myki is talented but I think the girls played Ru like a fiddle. Juicy told Myki as they were leaving the stage. They told ciara that Ru loved Mykis performance The entire Untucked you could feel Mykis anxiety. Everyone was making sure Myki knew the song. The other four were too chilled OR i just ate too many gummies and i could be wrong 🤭
Why is nobody talking about the Business Licensing Bill?
This Bill gives the government power to:
• Decide which businesses must have licences
• Send authorised officers to inspect premises
• Issue compliance notices
• Impose fines
• Confiscate goods
• Suspend operations
That means if you are:
• Working from home
• Running a small salon
• Operating a car wash
• Fixing plumbing from your garage
• Selling food from your kitchen
You could be required to get a licence — or face penalties.
For someone earning R5,000–R20,000 per month, extra fees and compliance requirements are not “admin.” They are survival risks.
The Bill says it promotes economic development.
But how does adding more barriers at the bottom of the economy help someone trying to start small?
How many micro-businesses will simply stop trying?
How many families lose income because the paperwork becomes too heavy? The risk too high?
Public comments are open.
If you care about small business survival, email:
[email protected]
Ask for:
• Clear protections for sole proprietors
• Low-risk exemptions for home businesses
• Phased compliance, not immediate enforcement
• Support before penalties
Millions depend on small businesses.
Silence helps no one.
What if every South African spoiled their ballot by using it to send a statement to government. For those of us who have the experience of when your engine stalls on the freeway, the panic, the fear, - would that not happen to the government.
Isn’t the saying doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result the definition of madness.
To get real change requires real demand.
