Congratulations @HermanMashaba, @Action4SA did exceptionally well. You have done better than any other party including ours. I appreciate your visit to my house for a drink celebrating your success. I wish you the absolute best 🤛🏾
@GarethCliff@elonmusk If Elon wanted to have his way with your wife, would you let him!? It's a rhetorical question, Gareth. There's no need to answer, although we know what it is.
Stop being such a cuck.
No. But that's my point. Diversity is multidimensional. Recognising the diversity within white British communities doesn't mean the UK possesses the same breadth of linguistic, ethnic, cultural, historical and religious diversity as South Africa. Rest dude.
The real betrayal wasn't Tatjana Smith choosing another flag. It was Swimming SA withholding her R570k prize money for more than a year over a swimsuit dispute. An Olympic champion shouldn't have to fight that hard to get paid.
The UK falls short of South Africa on several dimensions of diversity. Race isn't the only defining feature of the rainbow nation. Linguistic, ethnic, cultural, religious and historical. Reducing diversity to racial arithmetic is a rather superficial way of understanding it.
One of these women is a multiple Olympic medal-winning athlete; the other is a "superfan".
One of these gets sponsored to travel the world, and all her expenses are paid by the government and agencies to sit on the sidelines and hope the camera shows her for a few seconds.
The other has to swim for another country now because her own country apparently doesn't have enough money for her elite training or to reward her for the achievements and pride she's brought this nation.
Make it make sense.
🚨🎖| 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐍: Barcelona are taking strict measures to protect their young academy talents from excessive media exposure and social media pressure.
The latest example is 12-year-old Hugo Galdeano, whose videos have accumulated 285M VIEWS and whose Instagram account, managed by adults, has over 212,000 followers. He gained around 30,000 followers in just a few days after the LaLiga Futures tournament in Orlando.
DAZN and Movistar wanted to interview him, but Barcelona maintained strict control over the process. The club reviewed the questions, requested the removal of certain topics and rejected comparisons between Galdeano and Pedri. Even a special message from Andrés Iniesta was requested to be addressed to the entire team rather than the youngster alone.
Barcelona's general policy is to avoid individualising young players. Even after hat-tricks or outstanding performances, the club prefers collective posts rather than putting individual children in the spotlight. It also avoids publishing individual MVP awards through its FCBMasia account.
The club has introduced restrictions on sharing footage from inside La Masia and dressing rooms involving minors. Players who have ignored these rules have reportedly been warned.
Barça also holds discussions with the Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan Police) to educate youngsters about online dangers, inappropriate private messages and sports betting. The sporting management has additionally warned some families against excessively exposing their children on social media.
The priority is to let young players develop away from unnecessary pressure, protecting their privacy and ensuring that their football comes before their social media popularity. [@La_SER] #fcblive 🏠
🚨 Frenkie De Jong: “People don’t really watch the games. Very few people watch the full 90 minutes”.
“They don’t really understand what’s happening on the pitch or why certain decisions are made. The easiest way to judge a player is, of course, to look at whether he scores goals or provides assists”.
“And naturally, those numbers are much lower for me”, told ESPN NL.
Notice the phrasing here: when South Africans don't trust public institutions the media say 'people don't trust government' but when it's private institutions like big banks they say 'people don't trust the employees'.
Should be made a textbook example of media bias.
Dear Fellow South African,
Last night, the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) announced the results of the 2026 local government elections. All South Africans should be proud that this election, a crucial pillar of our democratic constitutional order, was free, fair and peaceful.

@ShareenSingh8 Zuma knows political power. What he has always shown is a willingness to subordinate democratic institutions, constitutional constraints and accountability to his own political interests.
To misunderstand democracy with an unwillingness to respect its limitations isn't the same.
I believe in a world where a Palestinian child and a Jewish Israeli child growing up in the Holy Land can look forward at their life and believe it is not going to be curtailed by somebody's violence.
If you want to see the importance of white people, visit black led and populated areas ... black South Africans are just like the rest of Africans, incapable of any meaningful development
