@SisMbali__ Unfriend them. Your daughter will be upset but it’s the only solution. Mom will learn that it takes a village but the village signs a social contract, that she isn’t exempt from.

@Justnewssportp @GaytonMcK Is she supposed to stop disclaimers and fruitless expenditures?

[pru_type @MsPrue]

@BusinessTechSA As she should.

@dailysunsa How do we help, contact details ?

@RediTlhabi Sigh. No, No. let’s follow this black family dynamic thesis- most black families, most kids are closest to mom’s side&if parents are divorced or mom passes away even more so, maternal family steps up. So not inconceivable at all that because of my son there is ongoing proximity

@TheOpinion8d1 @karynmaughan Sounds like 3/5 CV’s that land on my desk for junior CA/Actuarial vacancies . Very inspiring.

When Tyla said she is not Black but Coloured, she was not speaking into the American conversation about race at all. She was speaking in the language of her own country, shaped by its own history. Yet her words detonated in America as though they had been aimed there. This is what happens when a nation has spent a century convincing the world that its definitions are the only ones that matter.

America’s greatest export has never been war. It has never been democracy. It has never been freedom. America’s greatest export is the dream of itself.

It is not that the films are inherently better. It is not that the music contains some mystical note absent elsewhere. What America has, and what it has always had, is money, reach, and a machinery built to make its image the centre of the world.

This was not accidental. It was policy. It was the soft arm of empire. To project yourself outward until your face is the first one people recognise in the mirror.

And so the American way of life became the default. Other cultures were filed into two neat drawers: savage if they challenged the story, exotic if they could be sold back to you.

If you are Black, your first cinematic self was likely African American, the rapper, the sitcom character, the hero of a Spike Lee joint. If you are white in Europe or Australia, it was the white faces of American sitcoms and stadium tours. Whoever you were, your first image of yourself came with an American accent.

Over time, Americans began to believe the story they had written. When you grow up in the country that built itself into the cultural Mecca, it is easy to think you are the best simply because you are on top. You forget, or never know, that the game was fixed long before you played it.

But the monopoly is breaking. Nigeria’s Nollywood now speaks across oceans. South Korean dramas leap borders. India’s Bollywood never needed permission to fill theatres. Spanish thrillers keep strangers awake at night. Slumdog Millionaire, Squid Game, Money Heist, Shōgun — all aimed partly at the American market because that is where the money is, but no longer about America.

And here is the thing. Black Americans, who fought to be seen in their own country, became the global face of Blackness. That is a remarkable achievement. It was also made possible by the same system that excluded everyone else. Now Africans, Caribbeans, and Afro-Latins tell their own stories without making room for American centrality, and the absence is noticed.

We grew up watching you. You did not grow up watching us. And now the internet has levelled the ground just enough for others to speak without hesitation. Tyla’s words land differently because the world no longer accepts America as the only arbiter of meaning.

America’s greatest export was never its art. It was the power to decide which art, and which identities, the world would see. That power is no longer yours alone. There is both justice and loss in that.

@MatshidisoAnnen The script kept getting worse though ☹️ but I watched in solidarity and hope 🙈

[pru_type @MsPrue]

@PhilMphela Now if only script writers would learn the proper pronouns for family members when they do a show. Malome ka Setswana is for maternal males please dear people. Rakgadi’s husband is called Rakgadi. And so forth. Thank you for coming to my hijacked Ted talk.

@afukkendime The difference is that she apologised, long before reunion #MommyClubShowmaxS3

[pru_type @MsPrue]

@Nomakhosi_N This irritated me so much, the whole point of the reunion is to rehash the season, and Noksie was giving context for the offense at the time! Yoh, I was like Andy where art though ?

[pru_type @MsPrue]

@letele09 2/2 she prob approached the show with same “hustle/job energy “ when people don’t deliver we call them a ** in jest, &it’s part of the rapport-It only works in protected spaces& that’s the adjustment she didn’t make. don’t think she came with bad intentions #mommyclubreunion

[pru_type @MsPrue]

@letele09 I don’t know her but I think I can explain Noksie 1. she’s an estate agent, it’s a blunt ,direct environment.Can you afford the house or not type of energy, so part of it is commercial training. 2. the language in small entrepreneurial offices can be foul. 1/2. #mommyclubreunion

[pru_type @MsPrue]

@Nomakhosi_N She had to shrink so much of herself just to get through filiming, I suspect.. 😔☹️

[pru_type @MsPrue]

@NetFlorist your website is freezing on payment screen and the call centre says only option is to give CC details over the phone? In the era of online fraud, that can’t be the solution? I asked for EFT option, not available? Please advise?

Some pupils at Manogelo Primary School in Mokgola village in the North West are being taught in a parking lot. Parents claim when they approached the government over this, they were told to raise funds. They say the kids were moved from a shack that is in bad condition to the parking lot. @RefiloeSeboko has more.
