@elonmusk Will you be paying creators?

Where is the lie here? Unfortunately, we don’t want to be honest about the skills issue in our country.

[#ERAbyDJZinhle #ZeeNation @DJZinhle]

An offensive approach isn’t the way here.

I apologize if my statement seemed offensive but to answer your question..

Retail is a profession that requires skills,I think you’re offending retal assistants here by assuming that their job doesn’t require any skill or education.

You’re incorrect and could have made your point without insulting my business or my employees.

Look, I’m all for African countries collaborating and African countries benefiting from African minerals. However the fact that the SANDF is out there fighting and dying for the Motsepe, Ramaphosa and the Radebe families who are all related is just not make sure for me.

[Agent Nala @MainlandAfrica]

The commercial motivations behind SANDF deployment to the DRC . PART 1

The M23 rebels supported by Rwanda have been capturing the cobalt rich Rubaya Mines in North Kivu. The orginal mining licence to the area was granted to Edouard Mwangachuchu, a Tutsi man from Rwanda,aligned to Kagame, and posing as a DRC national which led to the military court (late 2023) charging him for treason including ownership of war weapons, and ammunition. Rwanda is the biggest exporter of cobalt and coltan in the world and those minerals are from the DRC,the best grade and major quantities are coming from Rubaya ,particularly from the series of coltan mines.

The SANDF deployment has been to the Masisi area north of Kivu where Rubaya Mines is located , a clear instruction being to recapture the area from M23 rebels. This has led to a direct confrontation between SANDF and M23 rebels leading to the former suffering casualties. The number could be higher than the reported one. BUT what exactly is South Africa's interest in the DRC?

The truth is that the SANDF deployment is about strategic recapture of DRC territory for both political and commercial interests. For DRC president it is must protecting DRC territory and preventing Rwanda from exploiting it and eventually annexing it. For South Africa, the primary interest is the same cobalt mining that Rwanda is exploiting . DRC President Felix Tshisekedi , has given South Africa an offer it can not resist, and that is access to the Rubaya Mines. The relationship between Ramaphosa and Tshisekedi has been characterised by all manners of cooperation on business and military pacts. Ramaphosa has made multiple trips to the DRC and so has Tshisekedi to SA.

But who are the main players from South Africa side.

1. Bridgette Radebe, sister to Patrice Motsepe and wife to Jeff Radebe. Cyril Ramaphosa's wife is also Patrice Motsepe's sibling. Bridgette is the President of the South African Mining Development Association which is reported to be targeting Rubaya Mines was one of the keynote speakers at the DRC Mining Week in 2023. She also owns Mmakau Mining. Bridgette's brother Patrice Motsepe owns Africa Rainbow Minerals. As CAF President, Patrice recently said he would be excited for DRC to host one of the upcoming AFCON competitions, this after some senior DRC government officials complained about DRC fans wielding anti war protest banners being censored.

2. Cyril Ramaphosa recently appointed Bridgette Radebe's husband Jeff Radebe as his Special Envoy to the Great Lakes. It is Jeff Radebe who accompanied Cyril Ramaphosa to the recent inauguration of Felix Tshisekedi as DRC President for a 2nd term.

3. The DRC has made South Africa as its preferential "contractor" for the building of a lithium battery manufacturing facility in the the DRC. Felix Tshisekedi has also delayed the taking off of Great Inga Dam project which has Fortesque Metals owned by Australian billionaire Andrew Forrest as the main investor. The tactic pulled by Tshisekedi is that he wants African companies to also have a stake, and by that he is referring to South African companies. Pembani Remgro Infrastructure Fund could be one the companies eyeing the project based on its proximity to Ramaphosa.

The SANDF that has been deployed to DRC for commercial interests is the same SANDF that was in 2023 deemed to be cash strapped with 85% of its equipment down due to lack of funds for maintenance amongst other things. This deployment is costing the country billions but the ROI (only investment is influence)for the commercial actors is going to be in trillions.

Note: South Africa refers to European owned companies and their black fronts.

When that DJ Durban Gogo many years ago made a series of tweets about her father Jeff Radebe being the real ganster she was not joking.

@lbdw_fr @RassieRugby Says a French who get their money from stealing from African countries that your government has colonized till this day. Your lights would be off if it weren’t for Niger and other African nations. Who are you to school is on merit?

[Mandy Mkhwanazi @Mandzmk]

@RassieRugby I’m sorry but what do you expect from a country like France that still abuses African nations and still chooses to colonize 14 African countries and hold them hostage in their own land with their own minerals? I would expect nothing less. Our boys are humble and hard working.

[Mandy Mkhwanazi @Mandzmk]

This man has said what I’ve always wanted to say but didn’t have the guts to because I’ve got too many book smart friends who cannot think beyond what the text books have taught them. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[Penuel The Black Pen @penuelist_]

Be careful of highly educated people.

I am extremely passionate about education. I am a curious mind. I read a lot. I consume a lot of information. I question a lot.

Most highly educated people... and by this I mean highly schooled in a formal sense... cannot think properly.

Their entire premise of any argument has been severely conditioned by all the textbooks they have read.

In essence, they are merely ambassadors & defenders of those textbooks, because they spent a lot of money, time & energy cramming & regurgitating the textbooks, so they can earn their honours, masters and doctorate.

Many textbooks have good content. Many textbooks encourage critical & independent thinking... but lecturers & professors can only grade you on set memorandum based on default orthodox knowledge & criteria.

When you research the most influential of textbooks, they quote history, research, statistics & science...

...all this data is funded by people with agendas. Funded by people selling products & services. Finded by people who want to gain or retain power over people's minds.

Fake news isn't new. What's new now is that it's easier to dispel it. Most statistics draw data from a small, biased pool & have a pre-decided conclusion.

Most science is funded by companies that need people to keep buying their products.

Most fact-checking websites are funded by billionaires with agendas, and have employees who are given a brief, so they can earn a salary.

The more formally educated you are, the less space you leave for alternative ideas & thought... that's just how you've been programmed with over 15 years of schooling.

If it cannot be referenced to a funded textbook with a clear agenda... if it isn't aligned to what you were taught... if it wasn't my said by another programmed clown with a fancy academic title...

...then it is automatically deemed fake news, conspiracy theories, etc.

The most important book you will ever read is Nineteen Eighty Four by George Orwell... to understand propaganda. Add 2 movies: V for Vendetta & The Matrix.

I have lost respect for most major news platforms.
I generally don't accept academic journals & theses without questioning them.
I do not trust the United Nations, the World Health Organization & other similar bodies.
I have little respect for politicians.
I do not trust big business people & big corporations.

I follow the money always.
I question everything.
I do not believe in most history beyond 200 years.
I choose to believe what I want & even then, leave space for that being a lie.

The person who can tell the most convincing story, using tools like data, history, stats, science, visuals, music, magic tricks, etc... gets to "own" the truth. As well as the person willing to force their narrative onto others & punish those that disagree.

"Who controls the past, controls the future; who controls the present, controls the past." - George Orwell, 1984

"Who tells the most convincing stories or forces them onto others, owns people's minds & thus controls the truth." - Penuel

Question Everything.

Penuel is God.
Penuelism is The Answer.
