@elonmusk The cancer of racism, based on a fundamental lie, has been allowed, by all, to thrive. From all angles.

Merit, innovation, ambition, risk, service & self-sacrifice have exited stage left as the founding principles of who we are. Base society on truth and not lies, on character.

The spirit of 1994 was betrayed by tribalism and other isms in 2009. We need to take back the power of principle. Racism is based on a fundamental lie. So we're perpetuating the master's ideology. That's what we all fought against. The colour of your skin does not define you.#lie

Prince Mashele: the leaders of the ANC are stupid. I couldn't agree more.

[Essence @EssenceofSA]

Exactly. There is no empowerment of black people in South Africa, quite the opposite. We only have black elite enrichment, benefiting a few thousand connected people, whilst stifling economic growth and true empowerment of the rest of the people.

Very well done by Italy. Beating Scotland is big.

Political killings are a serious danger to our society. Goolam is just the latest in a string of murders. If you can kill the voices exposing the truth about corruption and malfeasance and there aren't consequences, we are going to a very dark place.

The tannies are hopping mad cos @CheckersSA cancelled their 60/60 delivery for Christmas

Rassie doing 8-0. With all centres in the back. Monster team. Groundbreaking?

[Essence @EssenceofSA]

Maybe we're missing a beat in not playing Hooker to counter Penaud?

[Essence @EssenceofSA]

Rassie's a self-confessed, fallible human being. He's managed 2 get a nation to be colour-blind in a racist country. The Boks with Rassie & Siya have shown us that we absolutely can. Yes I can. Yes we can. We can rise above race. We can b free. We can belong & create opportunity

Say what you want about Charlie Kirk, but where would you see a wife forgiving the man who murdered her husband in public. Homage to Love.

There was so much more to talk about in that match than the theatrics & pondering over a clean-out we see many times in every single game. The rule is the person trying to steal the ball isn't allowed to drop his head below his waist. Its a penalty against him, if it is a penalty

@ngwenyathabs @Newzroom405 We fought for freedom from racism. Not to be ruled by another evil elite

[Essence @EssenceofSA]

@stellz_paRi @Newzroom405 Only the struggle to make themselves rich

[Essence @EssenceofSA]

@macmonate @Newzroom405 This is why our country should get rid of racism

[Essence @EssenceofSA]

@Time2Coach @Newzroom405 It was all of us together. White kids telling their parents they wont support their system, the UDF & internal resistance, the international community and a little bit of Winnie & the ANC

[Essence @EssenceofSA]

@oerwoudholte @Newzroom405 Spot on

[Essence @EssenceofSA]

@emman_thompson @Newzroom405 Tutu and Mandela told us: if the ANC do to you what the NP did, then get rid of them!
