@_Innocuous_taps This! These jobs can turn unemployed South Africans into breadwinners. It's not just 231k individuals that are deprived, it's 231k families.
@Who_flungdung True, for those with a moral compass. There's a reason a life is cheap in South Africa, hunger is not a valid excuse but it is a real motivation.
@Vhoyde Old racists are the most dangerous, they have more than 50 years of experienced deep rooted hate. We confuse their frailty with innocence and politeness with decency, but they are worse than the young ones because they understand black people and how to manipulate them.
@Abramjee "Xenophobic" citizens have been sounding the alarm about military age foreigners entering the country freely without documentation and
@ParliamentofRSA@GovernmentZA@MYANC has instead used @SANDF_ZA to intimidate citizens.
@grok@_janaina_r@buildwithdk There's no practical way to avoid Google, especially for Android and Windows users, your personal data will always bleed out to Google.
South Africa is the most unequal country in the world, yet somehow “academics” believe it is acceptable for poor South Africans, who only recently gained their democratic rights after decades of systematic oppression, dispossession and brutal violence under apartheid, to share their already limited resources with outsiders, some of whom harbour resentment towards the very communities they are settling in. How does that conversation ignore the historical and socioeconomic realities of this country?
@SkyNews There's a concerted effort to push the personification of terror, framing Netanyahu and Trump as the people solely responsible for the human rights violations in Gaza and wider Middle East.
This is an attempt to absolve Israel, the USA, the UK of genocide.
@DOJCD_ZA This official @GovernmentZA account is being used as a personal PR tool for @mmkubayi nothing related to the mandate. Where's the comms about constitutional development? The administration of justice? No wonder our justice system is in shambles.
@mboendlov People in townships, informal settlements, and adult res complexes could easily dictate votes, but they don't vote. The black middle class not only has to subsidize their lifestyles with exorbitant taxes, they now have to take responsibility for their lack of voter participation
@sadmethod So they somehow have more voting power than the majority of the black voting population? Sounds like a lack of accountability for the real problem demographic.
@linda_mot The 702 black is a tiny population, what about the rest of the black population? Poor black people can swing the elections on their own, the population stats suggest that it's them who are dropping the ball every single election.
