@blessingchauky But sis, if a woman wants/needs another man she can go ahead but why is it her current man's "job" to make sure she stays? Isn't a relationship between 2 people who are supposed to put in the effort? Why are we subjecting men to frivolous "jobs" whatever happened to organic love?

Life is so unserious. One minute you’re praying for certain things, years later you have them and don’t even notice. You just keep wishing for more. Desire never really stops — that’s why gratitude matters.

kodwa next year we all deserve break through, ofuna iskole asithole, okhalela umsebenzi awuthole, ofuna umntwana abenaye futhi abenaye nomntu o responsible, good & loyal friends, oqala i business ihambe kahle, siyeke ukuncenga la esingafuneki khona, we are really not asking for much, kudala kwase sikhala, it now has to be time.🥹🙏🏽

Make a list of 'Things I've survived in 2025' and another of 'Things I've accomplished in 2025'
Read them anytime you feel discouraged... You'll realise that you've come a long way, you just don't see it because you're the one living it!

Condolences to the family, friends & loved ones.

Rest in Peace Warras!

If you don’t know what does this mean for you as a South African or Refugee, here’s an explanation.

1. Points based system for visas and citizenship

What it means:

Instead of just living in South Africa for years, people will score points based on things like skills, education, age, having a job, or investing.

Example:
A software engineer from Kenya who has a degree and a job offer in Cape Town gets more points than someone with no skills or job.

More points = better chance of getting a visa or becoming a citizen.

2. Citizenship Advisory Panel + annual window

What it means:

Citizenship and permanent residence will be handled by a special panel, and applications might only open once a year.

Example:
Let’s say citizenship applications open every June. You apply in June, the panel reviews all applications, and gives answers by December, instead of waiting years with no updates.

3. More digital systems (online applications, biometrics, etc.)

What it means:

South Africa wants to move away from paper files and manual queues. Everything becomes electronics, fingerprints, IDs, visas, travel permits.

Example:
Instead of standing at Home Affairs for 6 hours, you apply for your visa online, upload documents, and get updates by email or app, the same way you track a package.

4. Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA)

What it means:
Visitors from certain countries will fill in a quick online form before travelling.

Real-life example:
A tourist from Germany wants to come to Cape Town. Before flying, she completes a 10-minute online form to get approval. No long visa process.

5. Stricter rules on asylum (“first safe country”)

What it means:
If someone passed through a safe country before reaching South Africa, SA may refuse their asylum claim and send them back to that safe country.

Example:

A person fleeing a conflict in East Africa travels through Botswana (a safe country), then enters South Africa.
Under the new rule, SA can say:
“Since Botswana was safe, you should have applied there.”

6. Modernised population register + digital ID

What it means:

SA wants one big digital database where all births, deaths, marriages, ID numbers, and immigration status are stored, eventually leading to digital IDs.

Example:

You have a digital ID on your phone.
When you open a bank account, you don’t take papers.
The bank scans your digital ID, and the system automatically verifies your information.

7. Why government claims this is needed

Simple explanation:
Too many fake documents, long backlogs, weak border control, and outdated systems.

Example

Right now people can: use fake birth certificates, be in the system twice under different names, wait 5+ years for permanent residency cross borders without biometric checks.

Government says updating the rules and tech will help fix that.

8. Why some people are worried

Explanation:
Some feel the rules might become too strict or unfair to genuine refugees. Others say government still needs to fix the slow Home Affairs offices first.

Example

An asylum seeker who truly ran for their life may struggle to prove they didn’t pass through a “safe” country.
Or someone with all documents may still wait years because of backlog.

That okra water is going to get you pregnant. That celery juice is going to have your skin glowing. That beet juice going to have your period on schedule like it got a job to clock into. That chlorophyll water going to have you smelling like a fresh breeze even when you sweating. That cranberry juice going to clear out your bladder .That lemon water is going to snatch your bloatedness and your attitude before noon. That aloe vera juice is going to heal your gut.

[Michael de Villiers @Mikedotcoza]

A man with so much power and influence like yourself, spreading misinformation, is quite concerning. And that’s why South Africa should never bend its rules just for you. You have no best interests for this country.
