Always leave things better than you found them.✌️

Never be afraid to speak your mind as it reveals those who lurk in the shadows of your silence. ✌️

@BusinessTechSA So we are censoring speech now 👍

[Kara Botes 🇿🇦 @Karabotes11]

@BusinessTechSA Once again they are trying to find more ways to get their hands on citizens hard-earned cash under false pretences. 🙄

@News24 If you are the CEO of a company and are "shocked" by something as critical to our GDP happening under your leadership, then I deeply question where your priorities lie and what you actually do on a day to day basis.🤔

@News24 Hey South African middle-class, keep killing yourselves working, trying to stay afloat as cost of living rises, so you can fund our incompetence and luxury lifestyles, while we continue to make the situation worse. Sincerely, RSA Government.🤙

@News24 Oh yay more talk from politicians without any meaningful action.👍 I didn't know you could run a country on just words 🤷‍♀️

[Kara Botes 🇿🇦 @Karabotes11]

@News24 @JasonFelix Why are there always "calls" but no action. Do they realise when they call, they are the ones responsible for executing? Like who are you calling out to? 🤣

[Kara Botes 🇿🇦 @Karabotes11]

@News24 We just seem to be rotating criminals in our SOEs. They just resign before they have to be held accountable and then the next one comes in and continues the cycle of theft and mismanagement. 🙄

[Kara Botes 🇿🇦 @Karabotes11]

@News24 How many corruption scandals must there be for them to stop giving Transnet bailouts. Where is the accountability? So we must watch people steal our tax money, waste and then watch them given more. How does this make sense?🤯

@sgozo_godola @mokone_eddie @MightiJamie And you pay taxes hoping for change, and instead our wonderful leaders throw parties and wear designer labels, while children sit on floors in schools because they have no chairs. It's simply not good enough.

[Kara Botes 🇿🇦 @Karabotes11]

@sgozo_godola @mokone_eddie @MightiJamie Trust me, my heart breaks every day. R80 to get transport for a minimum wage job just to live in squalor is simply unacceptable. And we have kids who are being educated to be laborers instead of scientists. It angers me.

@sgozo_godola @mokone_eddie @MightiJamie I don't judge on colour, I judge on character, values and work ethic. If people want to keep arguing about race, by all means enjoy going in square circles. I choose to contribute positively to my community and uplift those around me no matter what race.

[Kara Botes 🇿🇦 @Karabotes11]

@sgozo_godola @mokone_eddie @MightiJamie So, how are you solving the problem? What was in place before that you would like to revert to? So if we could go back in time and change history what would South Africa look like today? Where would the innovation come from?

[Kara Botes 🇿🇦 @Karabotes11]

@sgozo_godola @mokone_eddie @MightiJamie This country has the opportunity to take advantage of shifts in world power and lead the way in innovation. But instead we bicker & fight amongst ourselves. If we focused on boosting trade, education and efficient use of resources, the balance of power would naturally shift. 🤷‍♀️

[Kara Botes 🇿🇦 @Karabotes11]

@sgozo_godola @mokone_eddie @MightiJamie Personally I am confused, because I have been told by the media that I have all these privileges but the people I see with wealth and privilege do not look like me. So, at what point do we acknowledge that it is no longer a race issue but a class and power issue...

[Kara Botes 🇿🇦 @Karabotes11]

@sgozo_godola @mokone_eddie @MightiJamie Ya ok, if you say so 🤷‍♀️ #checkyourbias

[Kara Botes 🇿🇦 @Karabotes11]

@sgozo_godola @mokone_eddie @MightiJamie What a biting response 🤣👍

[Kara Botes 🇿🇦 @Karabotes11]

@sgozo_godola @mokone_eddie @MightiJamie So why such a negative perspective then? What has that transfer of knowledge enabled you to do? Then this tells me you don't know how to measure value...
