I am a foreigner. A white settler in South Africa. I am not an African, for truly speaking, there is no such thing as a white African, as much as some like to make-believe that this is so. Like each and every other white South African, I am the original foreigner in South Africa.
We are largely responsible for the grave economic plight that most black South Africans are in today. For the black poverty of the day was largely manufactured by whites during apartheid and colonial days. That such patterns of black poverty remain in democratic South Africa, is a damning and shameful legacy for the ANC government.
White South Africans greedily hold the lionโs share of land and economy, much of which was gained through the most brutal systemic subjugation of black South Africans.

They invade Lebanon, occupy its land, demolish cities, and slaughter innocents โ then cry when Lebanese fight back in their legitimate โself-defense.โ
If your soldiers werenโt illegally on Lebanese soil, they wouldnโt be coming home in bags.
Stop playing the victim. Shame on you.
๐จ I was pulled over just now by these traffice officers on the N1 on my from my farm to Bloemfontein.๐จ
The male officer informed me that my drivers license expired a week ago and that he is going to take my car keys to prevent me from driving any further.
I told him he must write me a ticket because I have 3 kids in the car and cannot be without my car, and that I am going to call my husband to come assit me, because he is not being reasonable.
He then tried to take my car's keys and my telephone and I closed my window so fast because he was getting aggressive. I told him that he cannot do what he is doing, and he said he can do anything he wants to, because he is an officer of the law and not me.
He started writing the ticket and then went to his car to call a female officer. On her arrival I opened my window again to talk to her and just as the conversation went a bit south, she put her arm through the open window and slapped me through my face twice.
I struggled to close my window with her arm halfway through it to get another slap at me, and was so shocked! She called me a fucking white person and said that they are not scared of me and she will hit me when and if I get out of my car.
I sat there while they shouted at me over and over that they are not scared of me and they will show me that I am not above the law. It looked like he was taking pictures of me and my car?? To do what with? To harass me on the roads?? I shouted at them that I will lay charges of assault against her, and she said I can go ahead.
My husband arrived and this is a video of their attitudes. We were advised by a police officer of Glen that we must go to the station - we will be helped there with the charges and with my statement.
At the police station the 1 officer and the captain started yelling at us to keep quiet, because we must not tell them how to do their jobs and they want to listen to the officers.
After about 20 minutes we had to leave, because the police was not interested in taking the traffic officers names or to have my statement, because they "have to take the traffic officers' statements first to hear what they have to say and then they will take time to listen to us".
I told the police captain that I was just slapped twice through my face by an officer in front of a 12 year old, 11 year old and a 10 year old who are now so scared of a traffic officer and that I want to lay a charge. And she just said she does not need to take any statements from me and I must stop telling her what she must do.
Even Botha realized that there is absolutely NOTHING to be done and we better leave before we get arrested for trying to speak!!!!! If you open your mouth, you get shouted at in Sotho by police officials!!!!
I cannot even lay a charge at a police station, because they say they don't have to hear anything I have to say and that the traffic officer says she will never do something like that!!!!!Now here I am.
What the hell!!! Go back tomorrow to just get another useless SAPS officer? And get pulled over by the same people obviously now going to target me, as this is the road I have to drive to the city?
PLEASE SHARE that their faces and this absurdness can spread as far and wide โ๏ธ
We got our fingers burnt because we knew less than nothing about the market. If one wants to enter retail you should probably at least understand your customers.
Royal marriages were instruments of nation-building. They connected bloodlines, ended conflicts, strengthened trade routes, secured peace and created kinship between kingdoms. A royal alliance was a declaration that โYour people are now our people. Your future is now tied to ours.โ
This tradition reminds us that our ancestors built bridges where others built walls. This is perhaps the greatest legacy of all.
Seeing as SARS is so great at collecting money. Why do we not use them to replace DFIs when it comes to dispersing money? It kind of makes sense that they can do this efficiently and remove the red tape and issues faced with public funds. This time, it involves no human element to "sell your idea to the board". They have God's View on your business anyway and can quickly run a comparability analysis on your sector. I mean, they collect the revenues and engage all types of entrepreneurs. This could save the country Billions of Rands that go to shady deals.
As you were.
Shahid Bolsen On Who Shook The Jar In South Africa
It is easy to get riled up by the simple and pervasive narratives surrounding ongoing anti-African violence in South Africa, but Shahid Bolsen reminds us that as always, it is better to avoid the face-value narrative and ask some deeper, more fundamental questions so as to arrive at an understanding of who is ultimately responsible for this and what their agenda is.
Kana even the billionaires are Jonasi.
Ke raya fela the Dubai ones and the American ones. Even Solomon of the Bible is Jonasi
Jonasi is just a default design of the modern man
Yeyi. Men are the devil's toenails. They are the sweat that drips between the devil's buttcheeks.
