Hi @FNBSA Ad-hoc eBucks rule changes starting Nov 2025 are unacceptable. Long-time Level 5 clients will now be dropped to Level 3. Those locked into 24-month device contracts are hit even harder. Total bait and switch. Please reconsider, or many will be forced to leave. #eBucks
Points to ponder.
Time for a laugh, a history lesson, and a bit of DID YOU KNOW??
If apartheid was SO merciless and inhumane, how did Mandela manage to get a law degree?
• Was it inhumane for whites to have built TEN Universities for blacks during Apartheid?
• Didn't this inhumane Government increase its budget on black education by 30% every year?
• Paid for by white taxes.
• How was it possible in such inhumane conditions, for 65% of black South African children to be at school, compared to Egypt 64%, Nigeria 57%, Ghana52%, Tanzania50% and Ethiopia 29%?
• How was it possible in such inhumane conditions, that 71% of black adults in South Africa could read and write, compared to Kenya 47%, Egypt 38%, Nigeria 34% and Mozambique 26%?
• Didn't these 'inhumane racist whites' build 15 new classrooms for black schools, EVERY working day, EVERY year?
• How was it possible in such inhumane conditions, for the black population to grow from 5 million to 40 million?
• If the Apartheid regime was so inhumane, why did it spend 56% of its annual budget on blacks?
• If it was so inhumane, how was it possible for black living standards to rise by 5.4% per year?
• If it was so inhumane, how did Soweto get 115 football fields, 3 rugby fields, 4 athletic tracks, 11 cricket pitched, 2 golf courses, 47 tennis courts, 7 swimming pools built to Olympic standards, 5 bowling alleys, 81 netball fields, 39 children's play parks, and 78 civic halls, 42 cinemas, 48 clubhouses, 316 churches, 378 schools, 2 technical colleges, 8 clinics, 63 child day care centres, 11 Post Offices, and its own fruit and vegetable market?
• All paid for by white taxes!
• If it was SO bad, why did Soweto alone have more cars, taxis, schools, churches and sport facilities than most independent countries in Africa?
• more private vehicles than the entire white population of the USSR at the time?
• Who gave Blacks the Baragwanath Hospital for free? The biggest hospital in the world, with 3245 beds and at its peak almost 8200 staff?
• It had 23 operation theatres fitted out with the most modern medical equipment that existed in the world; where Blacks were treated and operated on, at full government subsidies, costs to the white taxpayers for unlimited periods.
• The budget of this hospital was higher than the yearly budget of most small member states of the United Nations.
• It employed 456 medical doctors in full-time service.
• It treated 112 000 in-patients and 1.76 million out-patients per year.
• The children and infant death rate with 34.8 per 1000 was lower than Harlem in New York.
• In 1982 alone, this hospital performed 908 heart operations of world standard on Black patients.
• 94% of the blood donors to that hospital, whites?
• Who gave the blacks the St. John's Eye Clinic, world famous for the treatment of Glaucoma, cataracts, eye traumatic injuries and rare tropical diseases?
• All built and maintained by white taxpayers money for blacks.
• And remember that 92% of the inhumane whites voted for change in South Africa in the referendum of 17 March 1992.
But hey; let's keep on blaming the whites and apartheid 30 years after an entire country, in perfect working condition, was handed over to Black majority rule.
#BreakTheSilenceAboutSouthAfrica
There's a lot of angry, irrational rhetoric out there after a brave South African team failed to win another semi-final.
I think its worth saying this:
1. Only one team can win a WC. Yes, it's never been South Africa but it's also never been a few others
