We have never seen this display, these capabilities and these resources by the @GovernmentZA EVER… not even when we complained about gangs in Cape Town 😭 Not even when we complain about drugs💔 Not even when we complain about Zama Zamas…?? Our government HATES us 💔😭

[Redi Tlhabi @RediTlhabi]

Which South Africans? You are a senator who pays attention to random social media commentary? What is the OFFICIAL position of the government of South Africa and what is the status quo? Do you know why SA's Health Minister had downplayed the US's PEPFAR withdrawal ANNOUNCEMENT?

Let me educate you. Motsoaledi is chilled because South Africa funds the majority its HIV/AIDS response itself. 74 -80% comes from SA. 17-21% from PEPFAR and 2-7% from Global Fund and other donors.

Meanwhile, Nigeria's government consistently spends well below the 15% of national budgets that AU countries committed to. You have poorly equipped hospitals and clinics, your system operates intermittently with devastating consequences for the poor. You are a popular case study at many global convenings that I moderate.

You have poor sanitation and have the highest malaria burden in the world. Never mind HIV/AIDS. You had poor federal -state coordination for Covid19. I know. I moderated a WHO-AFRICA Summit on this in 2022, in Togo. Your officials and experts were pouring their hearts out.

So shut your trap. Senator.

@WKahuki @SokoAnalyst I'll even take one example

[Musa Ronalds @MusaaRonalds]

Let me educate you not with anger, but with truth. You assume South Africans lack exposure. You assume we believe other African countries are poor and undeveloped. That is not the case. We know the reality. We know Nigeria has oil. We know Ghana has gold. We know Kenya has tech. We know Botswana has diamonds. We know Zambia has copper. We know Zimbabwe has platinum and lithium. We know the DRC sits on $24 trillion in minerals. We know Africa is rich.

But here is what you do not understand, wealth beneath the ground does not translate to prosperity above it. You can have all the minerals in the world but if your leaders steal, your constitutions hostile towards humans rights, if your institutions are corrupt, if your people are divided by tribe, if your healthcare collapses, if your schools crumble, if your youth flee then you are poor. Not in resources. In governance. In accountability. In dignity.

We do not look down on Africa. We look at the mirror Africa refuses to face. We see our own flaws corruption, unemployment, crime and we fight them. We protest. We vote. We demand better. That is what makes us different. We do not run. We stay. We build. We hold our leaders accountable, even when it hurts.

You say we lack exposure. But we see you. We see your leaders flying overseas to get treated, some in our country to get medical treatment, while your children starve. We see your ports exporting raw minerals while your people have no jobs. We are not blind. We are not ignorant. We are honest.

The difference between South Africa and many other African countries is not wealth. It is the willingness to confront failure. We own ours. You run from yours. That is not a lack of exposure. That is a lack of accountability. And until you fix that, no mineral, no resource, no tweet will save you. Go home. Fix your house. Then talk to us about exposure.

@cdbrewe @JacquiDeevoy1 Men are far more assaulted by other men...but guess who is far more likely to be assaulted when its a man and a woman

Was at Makro woodmead one morning. Team meeting started with a prayer before day's tasks were handed out. The salesperson who was assisting me didn't know whether to stop and pray or continue helping me 🤣🤣

[Lebone @Lebone01]

@RediTlhabi I read your post a few times cause I was trying to figure out all the "speaking from a place of privilege" comments. What you said flew right over a few people's heads 🤣🤣🤣

[Wilson Manganyi @vutomi15]

@mr_shimmy 😂😂😂😂😂arrest everyone in home affairs including the political principals... they must prove they are innocent in court

@destinyzee @Sinawo_Thambo you're so desperate msunu, spreading lies about your country, your people, uyinja mnqundu.@Julius_S_Malema and his @EFFSouthAfrica minions believe this!

[Lebone @Lebone01]

@RobynPorteous Nothing right now, but tomorrow I'm fetching my copy of We inherit the fire by Kagiso Molope

[Lebone @Lebone01]

@CiroDeSiena But he also got use of the car...how much would he have spent on Uber if he didn't have the car? That also needs to be taken into account when calculating the investment value

@EmilyGouldNYmag At 4'11" they were the perfect length pants for me. Only ones that didn't need tailoring. Yes, please may they make a comeback 🤣🤣🤣

@RobynPorteous Have you tried the chewables? I couldn't stand that consistency after a while. The tablets went down a little easier

[Nareadi ⭐️ ⭐️ @pabi_entle]

Enough time have passed. Now let me tell you about it how @SA_Chery - Midrand has downplayed what could have been deadly incidents in my life… (I’m going to copy from an email that I had sent to WesBank and the manager at Chery Midrand.)

[Lebone @Lebone01]

@vault22_za I can understand not allowing multiple account updates a day, but the 24hr wait is not working for me. If i update at 15:55 today, i have to wait till 15:55 tomorrow. Why not allow from whatever time the next day?

[Teboho @muzi_mocco]

@carienduplessis @CathyMohlahlana What did you say? Did you tell them that declined refugee applicants are building business networks that don't comply with tax and labour laws? Did you tell them about human trafficking syndicates that operate in SA? Is that the brand illusion you want to be proud of?

[Joseph Lewis @Joseph4GI]

@MOSSADil If "Jewish life" hinges on being able to mutilate baby boys' penises, and fellating them just after doing so putting them not only at risk for hemorrhage, but herpes and/or loss of their penes if they survive, perhaps "Jewish life" *should* be banned.

[Allegedly🇿🇦 @Allegedlie]

@zoomafrika1 So he just confirmed that there’s NO WAR in Ethiopia. Why are his people seeking asylum in South Africa if Ethiopia is so great?
