🇿🇦 A FIRST FOR SOUTH AFRICA.
We built a humanoid robot that listens to you speak — in ANY of our 11 official languages — and replies back in that exact same language. Automatically.

No settings. No menus. It just knows.
Speak isiZulu, it replies in isiZulu. Speak Xitsonga, it replies in Xitsonga. Speak Afrikaans, it replies in Afrikaans.

This has never been done before in South Africa.
Not a chatbot. Not a script. A physical, thinking, listening, speaking robot — built from the ground up by a South African, for South Africans.
This is Fuze🇿🇦.

During Belgium’s colonial rule over the Congo Free State, one of the darkest chapters in history unfolded. Under King Leopold II, Congolese men, women, and even children were subjected to brutal punishments when rubber quotas were not met. Among the most horrifying practices was the cutting off of hands a symbol of terror and control that left lasting scars on generations. Missionaries and activists documented these atrocities, sparking global outrage and eventually forcing Belgium to take direct control of the territory in 1908.

This legacy of violence is remembered today as one of the gravest crimes of colonialism a reminder of the human cost of exploitation and the importance of confronting history with honesty

Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.

The Chinese government saw the news of their people being caught selling counterfeit goods here in South Africa and instead of acting like victims and treating their citizens like Hero’s for breaking our laws! The first thing they did was to call out their citizens for breaking the laws of our country, told them that they don’t support their actions and offered support to South Africa… Now you guys tell me… WHY is it so difficult for African leaders to do the same? Why are they so hellbent on always assuming the position of being victims? Why are African leaders so afraid of taking responsibility and accountability??? Including our own??? Even their people have become obsessed with playing the victim card and using sad stories to justify breaking laws!!! Honestly why??
