I’m still trying to figure out what the point of that Winnie documentary was….or nina niyazi?

Mission accomplished, I guess….I somehow admire her even more!✊🏾❤️

This woman was a wartime leader. She was tougher and braver than half our male leadership, so it’s no surprise that she faced the kind of resistance she did.

Was she human? Of course! Did she make mistakes? Absolutely! But were her mistakes worse than those of her male counterparts, including the Cachalias of this world? Very doubtful. But because she was a woman, a bold one for that matter, her flaws must be magnified and paraded on global TV.

Her wartime decisions are judged and dissected in peacetime, when everyone is suddenly on a high moral horse, so of course she will be a villain among saints!

Continue to rest in peace Mama❤️🕊️

@MDNnewss Then let her remain in custody.

@OceanEleven13 You're derailing, and that renders your statement/question nonsensical because the accused, under oath, stated that he doesn't recognize the man who claims to represent him. Who should we listen to now, you or the accused?

@Patriot_S_A Old news, anything for clicks 🚮🚮

At some point, we had Jackie Selebi and Richard Mdluli.

@africans80288 If you could take a closer look, you'd realize that they are starting internally or so I believe. We seem to have a peculiar talent of forgetting what we should be remembering. At some point, we had Jacky Selebi

[Modibe Vladimir Modiba @mmodiba10]

This thing that we must support Fikile Mbalula against the AfriForum on the basis of him being merely black, is NONSENSE.

We will support black leaders that stand with black people.

What has Fikile Mbalula done for black people? Everytime we share stories of corruption, with EVIDENCE, he looks the other way. EVIDENCE that impacts service delivery AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE.

Let the AfriForum finish him.

@iTouchCandi Him and Kwinika can possibly give us something in the CB position, he's not even injury prone like Dortley and Msimango. This is one one can keep lurking in case either between Kwinika and Miguel gets suspended or injured.

Yhoo😳😳😳#Adhoccommittee, Hayi South Africa is a movie kodwa. These things literally happen in movies

Gen Mkhwanazi produces a letter he claims was written by a cell-mate of Cat Matlala and believes the letter is legit

Matlala apparently used to tell this man all these stories and the man wrote them down without Matlala knowing 🤧🤧

[NOWinSA @NowInSA]

Incase You Missed It. Game Over for Senona: General Mkhwanazi explains the secret meeting between him and Cat Matlala and Senona at Oyster Box. Well what Senona and Matlala did not know is that The General had recorded the entire meeting. The whole place was wired.

Mkhwanazi lashes out at the SA Media have not done enough to shine the spotlight on Steve Motsumi.

@beyoumf Hello.

The Truth About Apartheid Debt.

Many believe the struggle ended in 1994, but Southern Africa is still paying a literal price for a crime against humanity. We are paying for our own oppression. Let’s look at the numbers. 👇

What is "Apartheid Debt"? It’s the multi-billion dollar bill the democratic government inherited from the regime. This includes $15B in public foreign debt and $25B in total foreign debt. Money used to buy the guns and gear that kept the majority in chains.

The Pension Trap: In its final days, the Apartheid state pulled a fast one. They restructured public pensions from "pay-as-you-go" to a "capital interest scheme." This locked in 40% of our domestic debt, forcing us to pay for the retirement of the very people who enforced Apartheid.

Apartheid didn't just hurt South Africans. The regime waged war on neighbors (Frontline States) to stop liberation. Over 2 million died in Angola and Mozambique. The economic cost to our neighbors? A staggering $115 BILLION.

The Case of Zambia 🇿🇲: Under Kenneth Kaunda, Zambia led the fight for our freedom. Today, they pay the price. 80% of Zambians live in poverty, yet 1/4 of their national budget goes to servicing debt. $19B in total costs, 3x their entire debt stock, is linked to Apartheid.

The Case of Mozambique 🇲🇿: One of the world’s poorest nations was devastated by Apartheid terror. They borrowed $7.5B just to defend themselves from the regime’s attacks. These "Apartheid-caused" debts are higher than their current total debt stock of $6B.

The Case of Zimbabwe 🇿🇼: Even before the current crises, Zimbabwe was trapped. In 2001, every citizen owed $667. Much of this goes back to the $5.3B in debt accumulated since 1980 just to deal with the destabilization caused by the Apartheid regime.

The Beneficiaries:

Who funded the Apartheid regime? 90% of long-term loans came from four places:

🇺🇸 USA
🇩🇪 Germany
🇨🇭 Switzerland
🇬🇧 United Kingdom

They profited while we bled.

German Banks 🇩🇪: Between 1985-1993, German banks poured billions into the regime, funding parastatals like ESKOM and SASOL. They made €4.2 billion in "odious profits." When the regime went broke in '85, German and Swiss banks gave them "generous" terms to keep Apartheid alive.

British Companies 🇬🇧: In 1976, the year of the Soweto Uprising, Barclays Bank bought £6M in Apartheid "defence bonds." British companies like ICI helped build plants for tear gas and ammunition. They literally manufactured the tools of our suppression.

Even the transport was part of the war. Leyland (UK) supplied the @LandRover’s used by police against students in 1976. @Shell SA, with a $2B turnover in 1989, fueled the machinery of the military and mining sectors that kept the system running.

This is "Odious Debt." It is immoral to ask the victims to pay for the whip that lashed them. We must talk about reparations and debt cancellation for all of Southern Africa. The struggle continues until the financial chains are broken.
