Dr Ndlozi's argument is quite simple. You can not force people to vote when they see noone they would vote for.
Noone is owed votes by the electorate. Earn the people's CONFIDENCE
Your standard black DA voter is easy to explain. They are classist. They believe that poverty means you deserve suffering. They do not care if people are wading through sewage in Philippi. As long as it's not happening in Milnerton.
Unlike men, women go through life without the threat of being punched in the face if they don't act right, which results in many women acting like this.
Men can acknowledge women’s fear and stand with us, while still being honest about the struggles they face too.
We don’t have to compete over pain. We can listen to each other, hold each other accountable and actually do something about it. There’s room for all of our pain
I am happy to ask a stupid question. So, since you are the CLEVER one, please assist us:
1. The GNU commenced in 2024. Since you're the clever one, can you tell us, in simple terms, which party has been the governing party over the past 30 years? And show us the GBVF stats over that period.
2. The police in South Africa have gone from scandal to scandal. From the Jackie Selebi Commission to the Mandlanga Commission now.
For the purpose of this education you are giving us, would you tell us who was then and is now in charge of policing over those periods?
3. You are being intentionally obstructionist. South Africans, all of us, are appalled at these heinous crimes. Any South African can show they are angry about this. What we are saying is this: THE PARTY IN POWER must use its power to turn the instruments of the state to find the perpetrator/s of these terrible acts.
Find them.
Prosecute them.
Protect the women and children of the country.
Society will talk about GBVF as a social ill. Those in power can't talk. They must act.
You see, we are now living in an era where critical thinking and asking simple clarifying questions are seen as adversarial.
We live in an era where accountability is seen as opposition.
Subscribe to collective guilt all you want but don't put those expectations on others. Also, I have been on social media long enough to see many so called allies turn out to be the very thing they are fighting against.
Because men treat it like a crime issue that needs government intervention. You guys treat it like a gender issue that needs men to be educated. We highlight men being killed to show that it's not limited to women.
I’m never gonna be accountable for actions of another man no matter who it is, im only accountable for my own actions, anyone who thinks I must be accountable for another man’s actions is an idiot
@uMaNgwenya_ For your own sake; please choose safety over feminism! Right now it’s about how to best protect yourself from a known danger! The killer does care about your worldview or mine, he will not stop killing based on our beliefs!
We've lost the line on whats funny. Joking about a mans career, his choices, his ego fair game, always has been. But building a bit around someone's stroke, someone still in recovery, what their body can or can't do right now that's not comedy anymore. That's cruelty wearing a laugh track. And it's happening more and more, like we've collectively forgotten there's a difference.
This isn't isolated. What happened on Spring Day kids pouring water on elderly people going to work, filming it, calling it fun is the same loss of a line, just a different costume. We keep finding new ways to make someone’s vulnerability the punchline and calling it content.
I know saying this might just feed the same clickbait cycle I'm talking about. I'm fine with that trade. But someone has to say it, there has to be a limit, and recovery, illness, and disability sit on the other side of it.
To the young men behind content like this you have real talent and a real platform. Use it with more care. Wisdom isn't the absence of edge, it's knowing what the edge is for. Sharpen it against power, ego, hypocrisy or anything for that matter but not against a man trying to get his hand working again, or a man who had an accident or an unfortunate life threatening condition. That discernment is what turns a voice into an influence people actually respect.

He was a child, it was not his job to anticipate his mother’s feelings or state of mind. Taking care of him was his mother’s job. A child shouldn’t have to rescue a parent.
For the sake of your children, who each morning must wake up and go to school, stop insulting education.
Somehow you have grown accustomed to insulting education as a way to make your arguments. Very tragic culture I must say!
There is no pride in being an ignorant people!
You can perfectly disagree with anyone without insulting education.
Why would you want to breed an education hating nation?
Unless of course, you are working with those who have benefited for centuries out of keeping Africans ignorant!
