And @SportArtsCultur spent years trying to develop a #BBBEE scorecard for the creative sector that nobody has seen. Conferences, meetings, deliverables, deadlines.....and even now nobody can explain how 'transformation' works in a sector of freelance creatives. #ANCidiots 😂😂
Thank you @GoeieMoreGM for the feature on industry regulation, @SAGActors, and #ActorRoyalties! @LizzMeiring is such a champion for the Theatre Benevolent Fund, but why do we have to rely on charity when social security should be built into a regulated #CreativeSector?
@GvanOnselen It is not really a mystery, @GvanOnselen. They have so much dirt on each other. If one dares blab the house of dirty sht stained cards comes down. That’s poss why #zondo was ignored. You know, like those pesky white crucifixes cupcake never saw before.
I just returned from filming multiple documentaries in South Africa…
I can assure you: no one in South Africa sleeps with their doors unlocked.
That illusion of safety is reserved for the 1%—people like Cyril Ramaphosa and Johann Rupert—whose wealth is rooted in ANC corruption.
Living in mansions protected by 24/7 armed security, motion detectors, cameras, electric fences, biometric gates, and private patrol units does not count as “sleeping with your door unlocked”.
Meanwhile, the average South African installs burglar bars, panic buttons, razor wire, and sleeps with a gun next to the bed praying that they will live to see another day.
You think people like @CyrilRamaphosa have to organize community protection groups on WhatsApp with his neighbors to stay safe?
Decades of state looting & capture have gutted the energy grid, collapsed/corrupted law enforcement & the judicial system, destroyed the once thriving economy, and unleashed a crime wave so horrifying you’d think you were in a movie.
The ultra rich aren’t safe—they’re just hiding in fortresses, while the rest of the population are left to survive in what can only be described as a war zone.
Trump just played his ace card.
The media spent years covering up the targeted killings of White farmers in South Africa——because it didn't fit their narrative.
He confronted the issue head-on beside President Ramaphosa, under the bright lights of live TV.
What happened next left the press scrambling for cover.
