The billioniares' vision of the world is a vision without humanity.

Unless I’m working in an ER, working as a paramedic, or working as a firefighter, there’s no reason I should be expected to “thrive in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.” Just fix the terrible management and stop running your office like a circus.

Police DON’T prevent crime. They respond to it. Higher wages, guaranteed health care, food security, high quality child care, housing, good schools, and addiction treatment prevent crime.

NO billionaire has ever worked as hard as someone who needs two jobs to make rent and has to go home and take care of their kids and clean their own apartment. not even close.

@ZwaneOmkhulu @SamSoleZA It's impossible to be a 100% impartial. That is why we have ontological and epistemological positions in scholarly research, because this is not natural science, impartiality/objectivity are a myth.

MBASA MVENENE: How party funding fuels corruption and what to do about it https://t.co/fGEGLaqXxZ

[For A Marxism Without Guarantees @phethani4]

Mary de Haas is a quintessential example of what Du Bois called the social wages of whiteness. Because she is white, she believes she is a voice of reason and can speak without being questioned, since it is already assumed she is a reliable source of knowledge due to her whiteness.

[Ongama Mtimka, PhD @omtimka]

In my next article, I’m exposing the dubious and deceptive misdiagnosis the DA is making about the impact of BBBEE to justify their proposed revisions for state procurement. They also reframe what is CURRENTLY in the Policy as NEW.

[Mbasa Mvenene @Mbasa_Mvenene]

Now in the @SowetanLIVE 📰:

The Madlanga Commission & Ad Hoc Committee are exposing the machinery. But let’s not pretend this is new.
