AfriForum has protected yt people through some of the worst cases, yet today some of you don’t see how this Malema situation is being racialised. If the same group that will benefit from Malema going away is content, that should at least make you question why you’re happy too. 👍🏾
The White Rugby Player was fined R700K for killing a Metro Police Officer in Tshwane not jail sentence . CIC didn't harm anyone, ba nyela Maburu a.

@Breaking911 Crazy how people took this story and went fully anti-Semitic when it’s something that happened because it’s Spring, it’s just a bigger volume of bees this time.
Fellow South Africans, I'd like to start a debate. But I am nervous. I feel very strongly about my argument yet I can spot the MANY holes in it. If I were in my high school debating team and someone argued what I'm about to argue, I'd easily dismantle their stance in 3 minutes. So I'm aware of the shortcomings of my proposition:
Here it is: I think @CyrilRamaphosa must visit a few Afrikaans communities; go and worship at an NG Kerk, attend a kunstefees, go for a walk in Ventersdorp, buy some produce at a farmer's market, attend a prize giving at a hoer skool; and talk to people - parents, children, workers. I think he should create a moment of tenderness, connection, and talking. It's not an election campaign. Just a moment to say "We must rise above..."
Why? 1) By cutting and pasting from the MAGA script, Afriforum & Solidarity HAVE become the fringe! They have also miscalculated and not fully considered the transient and volatile nature of US power dynamics. Today's political moment is not durable.
2) Afrikaners who don't support this moment may be feeling unmoored as the backlash unfolds. Credit to South Africans as the backlash has been against Afriforum, Solidarity, racists and "Amerikaners." That must continue. These racists must NEVER have our hate and undo all the work that has been done. But it is very possible that the current moment may leave some communities feeling like there will be no place for them once the storm has passed. Or feeling like collateral damage of something they didn't support.
Cyril can just be visible to those communities because even if they never vote for him and his party, he is their president and they are South Africans.
He must go and sing My Sarie Marais is so ver van my Hart..."buy some koeksusters, have some pootjie kos and be with them.
It isn't pandering to white fragility. It is marking a specific geopolitical moment that is being exploited and causing a painful chasm domestically. It is signalling that the binaries are unequivocally: "lie vs truth," ..."racism vs anti- racism." It is a loud but tender affirmation that we ALL belong and can navigate political differences without hate. It is telling the lunatic fringe that they don't get to tell South Africa's story.
PS - Solidarity and Afriforum don't get to request private meetings with the government so they can "explain" and cleanse their image whilst publicly continuing their BS. They don't get to play South Africans like that. The government must go talk to other Afrikaners.
@Leon_Schreib Why does it take 6 months to issue a LES visa? I’ve been going to VFS for my nanny’s work permit since November 2024. Bruce L from Rivonia says it’s your team that’s the bottleneck. 6 months!?
@Qetello_M Hi there,
Sadly, we do not have a functionality that allows one to opt out. The Thrive program has been put in place to encourage Financial freedom and Growth. The tasks created are quick and helpful. Here is the link for more Info https://t.co/JTXuBaWQOI
