"Zimbabweans aren't taking jobs because Batswana can't find them. They're getting them because they're willing to do the work." That's the claim an undocumented Zimbabwean made to Checkpoint shortly after Duma Boko assumed office in 2024. Watch Checkpoint this Sunday.

Tau drops Lesotho, to represent South Africa - https://t.co/vtEmaE1Tz4

[Matsieli @MMatsieli]

@Lestimes her story should concern us beyond taekwondo. It is another painful reminder of how Lesotho continuously fails to recognise, value, support and strategically invest in what it already has.

[Matsieli @MMatsieli]

Tau's decision should not simply be celebrated as an individual's success. It should also prompt us to ask a difficult national question: Why are we repeatedly creating conditions in which our own people find greater value and opportunity elsewhere?

[Lesotho Times @Lestimes]

THE Lesotho Taekwondo Association #LTA has confirmed that taekwondo star, Michelle Tau, is no longer a #Lesotho athlete after formally requesting to represent South Africa and subsequently being released by the association. https://t.co/WK64tDuHgJ

[Matsieli @MMatsieli]

Michelle Tau made a wise decision. Congratulations to her. But her story reflects a bigger concern: Lesotho continues to lose professinals and skills because we fail to recognise, value and invest in our own people. If we don't value our people, others will.

THE Lesotho Taekwondo Association (LTA) has confirmed that taekwondo star, Michelle Tau, is no longer a Lesotho athlete after formally requesting to represent South Africa and subsequently being released by the association.

For years, however, Tau had raised concerns about the lack of support she received from the country’s sports authorities, including the LSRC and the Lesotho National Olympic Committee (LNOC).

We thought bringing young people into Parliament would bring a breath of fresh thinking. Sadly, this Zungula guy seems determined to tarnish the reputation of those who aren’t politically or ideologically bankrupt.

[South African Daily @southafricandly]

ATM leader Vuyo Zungula says President Cyril Ramaphosa should be treated like any ordinary South African before the law. He questioned why no arrests have been made over the Phala Phala foreign currency matter, arguing that others found with undeclared currency have faced arrest.

[Matsieli @MMatsieli]

@southafricandly Zungula has nothing to offer but "Ramaphosa"

@Letsosa_M Those who’ve watched governments operate know that a PM arriving early isn’t, by itself, a protocol breach, especially when the host President is aware and bilateral engagements are taking place. Perhaps the real nightmare is forgetting how government works after leaving Cabinet

[Matsieli @MMatsieli]

Three days early? A “diplomatic and protocol nightmare”? Surely a former Cabinet member knows protocol is more sophisticated than counting days on a calendar. Unless, of course, statecraft changes once one crosses from government to opposition benches.

[Motlalentoa Letsosa @Letsosa_M]

Something is disturbing me. That Lesotho Prime Minister arrived in Durban for SADC summit three days before the summit began, and that Lesotho PM confirmed his early arrival to RSA President, is shocking! This causes diplomatic and protocol nightmare.

She’s so excited that she’s losing touch with reality.

[Zwelinzima Vavi @Zwelinzima1]

There is no such thing as a “university of the people who speak isiZulu” in the first place. Our universities are South African institutions, open to all South Africans regardless of language, ethnicity or province.

What she is expressing is a dangerous desire to Balkanise South Africa along ethnic and linguistic lines - to turn our diversity into separate political and territorial enclaves.

Colonialism and apartheid tried precisely this through segregation, Bantustans and the deliberate manipulation of ethnic identities to divide and rule. They failed to permanently fracture South Africa, and those attempting to revive the same poisonous politics of ethnic division will fail again.

We must defend a united, non-racial and democratic South Africa in which isiZulu, isiXhosa, Sesotho, Tshivenda, Afrikaans and every other language belong equally to all of us. No ethnic group owns a province, a university or any part of this country.

South Africa belongs to all who live in it. We will not allow it to be Balkanised.
