Actually at this age people know exactly what they're doing. Take it personally. They know the words they choose, the actions they take, and the silence they give. They know when they are ignoring you, when they are lying, when they are being careless with your feelings. It’s not a mistake, it’s a choice. People are not children anymore who don't understand the weight of their actions. They are fully aware when they hurt you, when they disrespect you, or when they cross your boundaries. So take it personally, because it is personal. It shows you who they are, what they value, and how much you matter to them. Stop making excuses for people who already showed you what place you hold in their life.
This is why people need to learn how to apologize. To not be afraid to admit to someone that they fucked up and wish they did better. More people will forgive and work with them than not. Caring for someone means giving them the acknowledgment they deserve.
it’s always funny when someone tries to quietly work their way back into your good graces. no conversation, no accountability, just a sudden increase in friendliness like we’re all supposed to forget how we got here.

@hell_line0 If teenage rejection makes him do something this spiteful and punitive, why on earth would anyone want to give this little creep combat training and a gun?
The Gauteng Department of Social Development has introduced a clause prohibiting non-profit organisations from using provincial funding to pay non-South African employees. Deputy Director-General Tebello Mkhonto says the department is simply implementing existing legislative requirements. She insists that the policy is not new.

Former President P.W. Botha used this exact rhetoric during the Rubicon speech on August 15, 1985. Facing mounting international pressure and internal resistance to apartheid, he declared that the government would not allow revolutionaries to destabilize the country and would use "stronger measures" against those who preferred revolution to reform. [1, 2]
The government used several methods and laws to suppress opposition: [1, 2, 3]
•State of Emergencies: Enacted sweeping powers enabling police and military to detain activists without trial.
•Banning Orders: Severely restricted the movement, political activity, and association of individuals.
•Armed Repression: The security apparatus utilized assassination, torture, and crackdowns to crush mass mobilizations.
•Third Force: Covert state-sponsored networks actively funded and orchestrated violence against liberation movements in the early 1990s. [1, 2, 3]
Today, similar language regarding "destabilization" and "shutting down the country" is used by modern government officials against localized legal protests.
Let's remind ourselves why Lt General Mkhwanazi's PKTT's 121 dockets were taken away to Pretoria. The PKTT had begun to work in Gauteng on the invitation of Gauteng Provincial Commissioner Tommy Mthombeni to assist with the recovery of kidnapped businessman Jerry Boshilo. It was while they were working in Gauteng that they stumbled upon CAT Matlala's operations after a failed plot to assassinate his ex girlfriend Tebogo Thobejane. In that whole milieu PKTT managed to confiscate Matlala's cellphone and that's what lifted the entire lid off.
Then PKTT got flagged as a problem for organised criminals in Gauteng and the criminal underworld figures started working behind the scenes to get rid of it. That's where Brian Mogotsi's career took off, a career of being a fixer for the criminal underworld by being a go between Political heavyweights, SAPS Generals and the Underworld figures.
Suspended head of Organised Crime, Richard Shibiri has been fired. Sources tell eNCA Shibiri's dismissal was recommended by the disciplinary hearing for bringing the SAPS into disrepute by associating with Vusimuzi Cat Matlala. Tune in to #eNCA, channel #DStv403
This is just peer pressure talking. You know very well no one is gonna bother you. Namibians don't even have a stereotype. We don't know if they steal jobs, cars, husbands, buildings. We don't know if they sell anything. A lot of South Africans have never even seen a Namibian.
