“Uhuru for me is the ability to walk from here and anywhere around Johannesburg without having to look over my shoulders, without being groped and harassed. Uhuru is getting menstrual leave. Can I please work from home when I’m on my periods? ” @Nyiko_Shik

This presenter of yours said there's no wage gap in SA!! Like are you kidding me??? His words, "there's no wage gap in South Africa, we have eradicated all of that."

I'm actually triggered, wow. Trash.

[Fighter 🇵🇸 🇸🇩 @NalediChirwa]

Was listening to @SAfmRadio just now... your presenter was very condescending towards the guest. I'm in shock that such bigotry can hold water on a topic on GBV when the presenter himself is violent AF to his guests, Black womxn guest. Wow. Fix your house!!!

[Fighter 🇵🇸 🇸🇩 @NalediChirwa]

This guy asked how does economic exclusion cause GBV in a tone so patronising!!! Yaz when you're getting lessons from Black Womxnon a topic you're not informed on, that requires that they get triggered to assist your shows with content production, you must be fucking sensitive!!!

Economic-Sangoma : China is not advancing a neo-imperial agenda. It gives African governments an easy excuse and absolves them of their agency. #AfricaDebt

[@SovereignDebtCon @SovereignDebtC1]

Economic-Sangoma: China only comprises 20% of Africa's debt. There is a tendency to blame anybody but African governments. #AfricaDebt

Economic-Sangoma : There's an assumption that European markets don't have the strict contingencies that China does. This is not true. #AfricaDebt

[@SovereignDebtCon @SovereignDebtC1]

[@SovereignDebtCon @SovereignDebtC1]

Ronak : China's labour force is not at cheap as it used to be. It needs to reorganize and balance its economy and it needs Africa for those reasons.
