@RonaldLamola@DrTedros@DIRCO_ZA@GCISMedia Agitators and thugs assaulting foreign nationals must be arrested to send a strong message that South Africa will not stand for anarchy. We want government to deport those that must be deported. What we cannot tolerate is vigilante groups beating and killing people
"Awaking on Friday morning, June 20, 1913, the South African Native found himself, not actually a slave, but a pariah in the land of his birth" - Solomon Thekiso Plaatje
Where does "working class struggle" come in as the Native who owned the farm for generations was removed from that farm and to seek work as cheap migrant labour in the mines.
That's not "working class" people but rightful owners who must restore what belongs to them.
These Marxist theorists are here to confuse the Natives
@SothoDudu@QueOrSomething This means that these governments send their people to South Africa. They are smuggled into the country by their own government.
So now you understand the feeling of being expected to suddenly come up with money for something you never planned or budgeted for. You can't even raise a once off fund to assist with the repatriation of your own citizens, yet South Africans are expected to somehow find the resources year after year to accommodate the costs associated with large numbers of illegal aliens. Then, when taxpayers question the strain on public services and finances, they're branded xenophobic. Financial realities suddenly become important when the bill lands on your doorstep, but when South Africans raise the same concerns, they're told to stop complaining and carry on paying.
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani alongside State and FIFA officials announced the largest fan zone at Central Park for the FIFA World Cup Final on July 19th- accommodating 50-thousand ticketed fans for free.
He also gave out this shout out to South Africa's hosting of the World Cup in 2010 ... and Durban in particular....

@unamulale Just say I hate men and keep it moving. Yes you need to raise awareness on STIs and it’s commendable. But to say men are getting STIs from sleeping with other men WITHOUT stats is very reckless. You are also perpetuating homophobic stereotypes about gay men being STI careers.
As many have said, the South African government is reactive on the immigration crisis. The 1st time public action reached boiling point was in 2008. That’s almost 2 decades ago. It’s as if they waited for boiling point again before saying they will address issues again.
You allowed this to happen for too long. From taxi drivers deciding that e-hailing drivers, friends and relatives could not transport people, to this. Videos of non-state actors "enforcing" their jungle law on South African streets have been circulating for so long. These actors were proud of their "law enforcement" and actually recorded it. You and your government were spectators. It is a sign that you were absent or too scared to face the backlash should you act against South Africans breaking the law. It doesn't matter how valid grievances are, NO STATE should quietly watch a parallel state emerge, with non-state actors deciding who belongs snd who doesn't, who must live or die. Your government, led by you, did that.
G87 BMW M2 now with M xDrive coated with a BMW Individual paint called Borusan Turkish Blue.
The M2 M xDrive accelerates from 0-100km/h in 3.7 seconds making it 0.3 seconds faster than before. It now has an kerb weight of 1865 kg which means it gained 60 kg compared the RWD M2 automatic.
Local availability and pricing are yet to be confirmed.
How did it happen that KZN Hawks Head Senona has a rank of a Major General with so much incompetence and lack of integrity while the more operationally skilled employee Karl Sander is a Warrant Officer with 40 years of scarce skill experience?
The application of Affirmative Action although had good intentions but in some cases it has really messed up the country if we are being honest with ourselves.
It's not only Senona, you can name General Shadrack Sibiya, EMPD Chief Julius Mkhwanazi, General Richard Shibiri, the list is long.
Today, The Citizen reported on my protected disclosure to Parliament regarding the retaliation I faced after I refused to approve what I considered to be financially irresponsible and irregular conduct, now amounting to millions of rands.
While I respect that the report did not name me, I did not submit an anonymous protected disclosure. I placed my name on it because I fear no one. People sought to engage in wrongdoing under my directorship; when I refused to participate, they retaliated.
I reject the lack of protection and intervention that never came when I reported and requested it; which allowed a rogue and malicious supervisor who committed fraud to seek my dismissal, motivated by ulterior motives, characterising my refusal to approves Procument I objected to as insubordination.
Dr Ndlozi, I will respectully argue that your opening assertion overlooks a crucial principle: correctly naming the problem and mobilising around it. Accurate diagnosis is what enables societies to craft meaningful solutions, and your diagnosis cannot automatically stand in for theirs.
While your long experience in organising marches and shutdowns is valuable, it cannot serve as a universal script for mobilisation. Each generation, each community, and each activist movement carries its own lived experiences and contexts. Respecting those diverse realities is essential. To assume that every activist is guided by “handlers” undermines their agency and silences their voices. People mobilise because of their own grievances and aspirations, not because they are puppets of unseen forces.
Moreover, raising concerns is most effective when done in a spirit of genuine listening, rather than adopting the posture of a preacher addressing sinners who must repent. As you have presented yourself as an experienced mobiliser, I trust you will agree that mobilisation is not a morality play; it is a negotiation of power, dignity, and justice. To dismiss their efforts as “self-sabotage” without engaging with the concerns that drive them risks closing the door to constructive dialogue.
The challenge, then, is not to lecture people into silence but to propose solutions that address the root causes of their grievances. At this stage, respecting their agency and listening without preconceived judgement is crucial for fostering constructive engagement.
Constructive engagement requires recognising that the strategies and tactics of today’s activists are not of lesser intellect than those informed by past experiences of mobilisation. They reflect the realities and aspirations of the current contexts. By approaching these movements with humility and openness, we can foster dialogue.
With utmost humility and respect, I am yielding to the chair.
BREAKING NEWS: A well-known member of parliament allegedly phoned the complainant in this R2.2-million extortion case against taxi boss, Joe “Ferrari” Sibanyoni and his co-accused, Daniel Masilela, Philemon Msiza and Oupa Sindane, on Tuesday evening and persuaded him to drop the case against men as NPA is preparing to reinstate it.
The MP allegedly promised the complainant a handsome reward.
Modern masculinity is only accepted when it mirrors feminine behavior.
Women often measure masculinity based on how much feminine behavior a man shows around his daughters and how much he participates in traditionally feminine duties with his wife.
In many women’s minds, masculinity barely exists unless it is softened by feminine qualities.
If you act too masculine without showing emotional softness, they may see you as a threat.
This is going to feel threatening to many wives, and some may start believing that men are trying to take away the mother-daughter bond and moments they traditionally share.
I remember gawking at the CLS550 as a kid because it seemed like nothing else on the road. It looked like a starship next to a Camry. Really sad to see what they’ve become.
How many of your cars do you own to ruin? 😂
“With the emotions of a Affalterbach V8, paired with charging times….”

You guys actually used to make real cars…this is pathetic 💔
