This is what @NalediChirwa says about the protests that are taking place nationwide. She is FMF activist, and she was fighting along these โANC babiesโ against fee increment. Your time to lead students has passed, hence this response.

Just in: Amid the ongoing demonstrations against financial exclusion at Wits, students have vowed not to surrender until all students are registered, suspended students are brought back, accommodation fees are reduced.

@ChrisExcel102 More people go to school in eastern cape, no one from Nongoma or Mlazi goes to school, KZN marks are high because the few Indians who go to school all pass
The thread contrasts DA statements on SA matric results: Pre-GNU (2024) criticized the "real" pass rate as 55.3%, blaming ANC focus on quantity. During GNU (2026) welcomes 2025 results, praises inclusion progress and ministerial honesty on dropouts. Spot the difference: Shift from criticism to support.
@SouthAfricanSon@dijoni@jacksonhinkle What is your understanding of national sovereignty, did the people of Venezuela request for assistance with removing the dictatorship?

Arenโt you affiliated with Wits university?
It would be interesting to know if you have ever received staff remuneration?
Because on their website it says you have been a staff member? Is that true?
Government subsidizes Witโs Univeristy to the tune of R2.7 billion.
South Africa is the president of the G20 for the 2025 term. The African Union also participates as a member organisation, representing all 55 African states collectively.
The G20, or Group of Twenty, is an international forum of the worldโs major economies that addresses global economic cooperation and development. South Africa is the only African country in this grouping, which makes its role and presidency not only significant but also symbolic for the entire continent.
What makes this particularly commendable is that South Africa has not been selfish in its approach. It could have chosen to focus only on national interests, branding it as โG20 South Africa,โ but instead it opened the process to the rest of the continent. Thousands of Africans from different walks of life and professional backgrounds have been involved in G20-related discussions and activities over the past months on the invitation of South Africa or South African entities.
I can personally testify to this inclusive approach. I was invited by a South African media entity to take part in the M20, which is the Media 20 stream of the G20.
There was a major conference, attended by media professionals from across Africa, where key resolutions were adopted.
It clearly demonstrated South Africaโs commitment to ensuring that Africa speaks with one voice and benefits collectively from its G20 leadership.
That is why Donald Trumpโs recent attack on South Africa, based on lies about a supposed genocide against Afrikaners, is not only dishonest but also extremely malicious. His actions are designed not merely to undermine South Africa, but to attack the entire African continent. South Africa brought the rest of Africa along into this G20 process, it made it about us all so that we could rise and benefit together.
Any African who supports Trump or his attacks against South Africa is acting out of ignorance and foolishness. They are self hating. They are effectively supporting an assault on Africa itself.
If South Africa fails, the continent will sink with it. Millions of Africans live and work in South Africa, contributing to and benefiting from its economy.
Those Africans, and the families they support across the continent, will suffer if Trumpโs campaign to sabotage South Africaโs G20 presidency succeeds. The idea is to dissuade investors to come.
It is vital that Africans understand this; the attack on South Africa is not just on South Africa, it is an attack on the whole of Africa. And the pliant African states and racist organisations in South Africa that are colluding with the United States to derail South Africaโs G20 leadership should hang their heads in shame.
The propaganda against South Africa has now gone completely wild, from crazy to downright idiotic. It began with the false claim that Afrikaners were being exclusively targeted and killed in South Africa, that there was a so-called genocide aimed at wiping out white farmers.
Yet, the truth is out there for anyone who cares to know it; crime in South Africa affects everyone, and because of demographics, it affects far more black people than white people.
Now the propaganda against South Africa has escalated further. Various MAGA-aligned outlets are spreading new lies, claiming that Christians are being killed in South Africa โ as seen in the tweet attached below โ deliberately fabricating stories to smear not just South Africa, but the entire African continent.
What we are witnessing is a coordinated attack on South Africa by Donald Trump and his MAGA extremists. It would be a tragedy if any African were foolish enough to support this campaign of deceit.
While they invent a genocide that does not exist in South Africa, they were the same people who denied the real genocide and mass killings that took place in Gaza.
This is hypocrisy at its worst, a real cynical attempt to vilify Africa while shielding genuine perpetrators of atrocities elsewhere. All well meaning Africans support South Africaโs presidency. May it succeed and may all the haters be shamed.
There are those who believe that they hold higher moral grounds and intellectual superiority because they don't vote for the ANC.
It is however fortunate that the majority of the people, in both the socially and institutionally educated pools, have not lost hope in the ANC.
Say what you will about the ANC being anti-democratic, (a phrase that has been used loudly without basis), when you look at the situation in Tanzania,Kenya, Mozambique & Zimbabwe - before and after elections - you know that it values democracy. Last elections could have been 66%
