🚨 LET THIS SINK IN 🇿🇦
Dear Gayton Mackenzie,
Let’s be honest for a moment… there is no successful government that can be formed in South Africa by excluding white people, just like you cannot build one by excluding Black people, Coloured people, or Indians.
This country was built through struggle, sacrifice, and ultimately unity.
The idea was never domination of one group over another, but coexistence and shared progress.
Politics that leans on division might win applause in the short term, but it weakens the foundation of the country in the long run.
South Africa’s strength lies in its diversity, economically, socially, and culturally.
If you are serious about growth, stability, and real transformation, then the focus should be inclusion, not selective participation based on identity.
Nation-building is not a solo project… it’s a collective responsibility. 🇿🇦Please share this until it reaches him because he blocked me🤣
In 1986, the American Medical Association published an article titled "The Physical Death of Jesus Christ". It details the entire process of Jesus' trial to His death on the cross.
In Luke 22, before Jesus is arrested, it is written that He was in great distress & sweating blood. Although rare, it is recognized as Hematidrosis, a condition caused by high levels of stress.
At the time, the crucifixion was considered the worst death for the worst of criminals. But this is not all Jesus faced. He endured whipping so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. He was beaten so horribly that His face was torn & His beard ripped.
A crown of thorns, 2-3 inches long cut deeply into His scalp. The leather whip used to flog Him had tiny iron balls & sharp bones. The balls caused internal injuries while the sharp bones ripped open His flesh. His skeletal muscles, veins, & bowels are exposed, causing major blood loss. Most men do not survive this kind of torture. After Jesus was severely flogged, He was forced to carry His cross while people mocked & spat on Him.
Crucifixion was a process meant to instill excruciating pain, creating a slow & agonizing death. Nails as long as 8 inches were driven into Jesus' wrists & feet. The Roman soldiers knew the tendons in the wrists would tear & break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support Himself to breathe. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the courage...Jesus endured this reality for 3 hours!
The Gospel of John writes that after Jesus' death, a Roman soldier pierced His side with a spear & blood & water came out. Scientists explain that from hypovolemic shock, the rapid heart rate causes fluid to gather in the sack around the lungs & heart. The accumulation of fluid in the membrane around the heart is called a Pericardial effusion & the lungs is called a pleural effusion.
To the world, Christianity is as foolish as it can get. They believe it's for the weak. But when you are confronted by the reality of the cross, it's clearly not a pretty sight. It is brutal & horrific.
This is the weight Jesus carried. The weight of the sins of the world, all so that we can live. God's wrath is fully satisfied in Jesus. This is what it took. Repent & believe! Jesus is “God among us” in the flesh. Jesus is our Savior. Jesus loves you so much that He went through this spiritual and physical punishment for your sins and mine.
Jesus is the LORD, Almighty God, Everlasting Father.
Thank You, Jesus.
Easter isn't about chocolate eggs and bunnies; it's about the greatest act of love, sacrifice, and redemption - the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
It marks the victory of life over death, when Jesus took on the world's sins to offer eternal life.
Christ is King.
If the residents of a town are against a rebrand, then the rebrand shouldn't go through.
I think renaming things is a waste of time. And it's especially egregious when it goes against the will of the people who actually live there.
I’m not a big fan of the DA, but I do want them to do well in 2029 so South Africa can shift its foreign policy. South Africa needs a DA president in 2029. The ANC is stuck in the past—it’s no longer relevant. They keep using apartheid to manipulate us. They’ve run out of ideas and must go. #economy #politics #MajoziCommentary
That political billboard in Gauteng by the @Our_DA is a stroke of genius🤭
It’s a funny jab, yes, but truth is it is a reflection of a sad reality. It exposes just how aloof, elitist & uncaring the #ANC has become!
Well done, DA!
