The Thando Nonhle interview made me so sad. And also I laughed. Sad because you could tell she is gonna get dragged another round. Laughed because wow consistency my sister. I want better for her brand.
When you look at the SCALE of people participating today, the incidents of illegality a person can count on one finger. The movement and government worked well together to focus on bigger point of citizen voices.
Good faith engagement means you disown the portions of movement not aligned with you. Dishonest engagement is when you pretend these groups don’t exist. You attack the observers for calling out the danger, rather than calling IN to movement. This is the complexity you own.
I have a problem when movements want to pick and choose what they are. A protest/march is not illegal. A demand is not illegal. Violence and looting is illegal. Violence and looting has happened with people who claim you. You own all of this complexity. And…
Illegal immigration is a crime, yes duh. And so you march against this crime and many people are in sync. And yet, people who claim you say even the legal migration is a problem. There is a portion of movement not in sync. You own all all of this complexity.
This morning I am very sad that Pretoria boy killed this app. This app used to be where we get live reports from the streets when we had protests like this. Now the search bar doesn’t work, AI suggests irrelevant topics. Now we are on TikTok.

If they were honest they could at least talk about the problem of unfair dismissals or the recurring s189s creating unemployment…but they never start there. Just go to gov.

I saw it years ago that all of this had nothing to do with illegal immigration. It’s just gotten worse. And will continue to get worse. All we can do at this point is pray.
