Arguing that slavery existed all around the world and that the West ended it, is insane: That's like saying fishing has always been a global phenomena, referring to fishermen with their rods, ignoring the fact you designed ships and nets for you to hallow out the sea. SCALE!!!
Without context, one could've listened to Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula on Monday and thought her a stelward. But we have long memories and remember her tenure as the speaker. Chickens are coming home to roost.
๐จTHROWBACK: "I STAND READY TO EXPLAIN" - 5 YEARS LATER SOUTH AFRICANS ARE STILL WAITING ๐ญ
Remember this Parliament sitting a few years ago when MPs were demanding answers on Phala Phala?
EFF members were shouted at: โTake your seat honourable @Sinawo_Thambo!โ ๐
Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula was all out defending the ANC government and being accused of using Parliamentโs majority to shield the president.
The funniest part?
Ramaphosa stood there confidently saying: "I stand readyโฆ to give an explanation." ๐ฟ๐ฆ
Ready since 2020. READY.
But somehow the explanation keeps travelling slower than Eskom recovery plans ๐ญ
If he has always been "ready" , why avoid facing Parliament physically now?
Why virtual appearances when COVID restrictions were already gone? Why endless legal processes before simple answers?
South Africans have now heard: "I stand ready." "I will explain." "Allow due process." "Let the agencies investigate."
Now even the buffaloes know the whole script by heart ๐๐ต๐
And now look how life comes full circleโฆ
Nosiviwe herself is now out of Parliament and complaining about ANC leaders having abused their majority to protect one man ๐ญ
What goes around really comes back around.
But like @Julius_S_Malema said years ago: "Phala Phala will never go away."
โWe have significant resources of coal. It be the height of folly to think that we can industrialize and abandon that strategic resourceโ - Minister of Electricity and Energy
I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly."
The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal.
When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience."
Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable.
When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates.
I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped.
The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault."
I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology."
Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident.
Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize."
I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time."
They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again."
I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes.

South Africa and xenophobia โ โletโs be honestโ.
โMany countries prioritise jobs, business opportunities and tenders for their own citizensโ. โผ๏ธSouth Africans asking for the same is not xenophobia, itโs a call for fair and enforceable ๐ฏpolicy that protects local economic participation.๐ฅ๐ฅ
Former Deputy Minister of Police Bongani Mkongi boldly spoke out about the issue of foreigners in South Africa and was later removed from office. He eventually resigned from the ANC, saying the party no longer aligned with his political beliefs.
How is it that the Premier @Lesufi share the sentiments of March and March but his comrade at Dirco is calling the same organization "vigilantes". You belong to the same party and talking different languages here.
Dear Premier @Lesufi until illegal immigrants STOP being a lucrative business for @SAPoliceService Rabie Ridge, who hunt for illegal immigrants on their way to Midrand and extort money; or slumlords who pack them into hijacked buildings; illegal immigration will remain a challeng
