🇿🇦 A senior South African politician just got caught lying about Starlink to protect mobile network operators.

Parliamentary communications chair Khusela Diko claimed Starlink "doesn't move the needle" on school connectivity.

Here's what she left out: 16,000 schools still have no internet after 12 years, a missed deadline, and mobile operators billions over budget.

Starlink offered to connect 5,000 schools for free and was turned away.

A rural mobile tower costs around $61,000 and can serve just a single school.

The numbers don't lie. The politician did.

Ernst Roets: “If we were to measure racism, the racism of a government, by the amount of race laws that they have written or implemented, then South Africa is certainly the most racist country or government in the history of the world.”

Show @afriforum some love today. It was AfriForum that laid the criminal charges against Julius Malema and it was AfriForum's private prosecution unit that had to threaten legal action to force the NPA to make a decision to prosecute.

Rubio on Iran:

If, in fact, what you're interested in is a peaceful nuclear program, you can do it like most of the countries in the world do it, which is they have above-ground reactors and they import the fuel. We have deals now to do that with countries.

If what they really wanted was energy, they could do small modular reactors, which is something that's quite affordable and achievable for a lot of countries.

But when you say “we want to enrich, and we want to enrich deep underground,” and you have a history in the past of enriching to 20 and even 60 percent, plus you're building missiles that could potentially carry warheads, that doesn't sound to me like a country that's not interested in building weapons.

Now he’s going back to tell them the global government dream is OVER.

German Professor on President Trump:
Trump has been President for a year now and has achieved:
-4.3% GDP growth
-the oil price is 20% lower than a year ago
-unemployment below 4.5%
-the American stock markets have risen by about 20% during this period
-inflation is at 2.7%
-the trade deficit is the lowest in 17 years
-the crime rate has declined significantly
-illegal migration has dropped by 95%
Here in Europe, we get indignant, demonize or sabotage him wherever we can. But Trump isn't Germany's Chancellor—why should he do anything positive for us? We could, however, learn from it and actually tackle our own problems.
Trump isn't alone in this. But what I see: His team works with tremendous efficiency.
In German politics, by contrast, success is unwelcome. It is rendered impossible by a multitude of agreements, separation of powers, and regulations. The Bundestag is the best example of that.

🚨 RONALD LAMOLA - SMOOTH TALKING HYPOCRITE 🚨

Ronald Lamola, South Africa’s current Justice Minister, is the smooth-talking lawyer who quietly turned the Department of Justice into the ANC’s personal shield. While white farmers are tortured to death, he fast-tracks “hate speech” cases against anyone sharing crime-scene photos, but refuses to re-open apartheid-era TRC files on ANC/MK bombings that killed thousands. He personally pushed the 2025 Expropriation Act (land seizures without compensation), calls AfriForum “racist terrorists” for documenting plaasmoorde, and brags that “transformation of the judiciary” means stacking benches with ANC loyalists. This is the same man who, as a 29-year-old, got a R25m legal tender from a bankrupt municipality and now lectures whites about “privilege”. Trump’s sanctions and G20 boycott are burning because of enablers like Lamola who weaponise the law against victims and protect the real terrorists.

Facts he hides behind the gown:

ℹ️ Selective justice exposed:

2025 – blocked every attempt to re-open TRC cases on ANC/MK bombings (Church Street, Magoo’s Bar, Amanzimtoti) while prosecuting whites for “hate speech” when they post photos of murdered farmers. Equality Court 2025: fined citizens R150k for sharing plaasmoorde evidence online.

ℹ️ Expropriation Act architect:

Personally steered the 2025 bill allowing government to seize land (and businesses) “in the public interest” without compensation – openly targeting remaining white commercial farms while calling it “correcting historical injustice”.

ℹ️ “Hate speech” weaponisation:

2024–2025 – his NPA opened 87 cases against whites for “racism” (mostly social media posts about farm attacks) but zero cases against EFF leaders singing “Kill the Boer” after the same song was ruled hate speech.

ℹ️ R25m tender at age 29:

2012 – a bankrupt Mpumalanga municipality paid his two-month-old law firm R25m for “legal services”. He claims it was legit; forensic reports say it was classic ANC tender fraud.

ℹ️ Judicial capture:

2023–2025 – bragged that “90% of new judges are black” and “transformation is non-negotiable”. Result: white advocates now <8% of new appointments, senior white judges “encouraged” to retire early.

ℹ️ Defends cadre deployment in courts:

2025 Constitutional Court ruled cadre deployment illegal – Lamola immediately announced “new guidelines” to keep political appointments flowing into the NPA and magistracy.

ℹ️ Luxury lifestyle hypocrisy:

Lives in a R28m Waterkloof mansion, drives a R4m Maybach, all while telling white South Africans “your privilege must end”.

ℹ️ Phala Phala whitewash:

2024 – as Justice Minister oversaw the NPA that “cleared” Ramaphosa in record time while dragging farm-attack dockets for decades.

ℹ️ Threatens media & NGOs:

2025 – called for “regulation” of AfriForum and Solidarity because they “spread white genocide propaganda” – code for shutting down anyone collecting evidence.

This isn’t justice – it’s lawfare against an ethnic minority. Lamola is the velvet glove over the ANC’s iron fist: polite, Harvard-educated, and utterly ruthless.

USA: Put him on the visa-ban and Magnitsky list today.

No Western platform for the man turning the law into a racial weapon.

[Douglas Wayne @Bound2Liberty]

Another day, another ANC brain explosion disguised as legislation. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Business Licensing Bill 2025, the single most destructive, idiotic, corrupt-enabling piece of paper the ruling party has vomited onto the Government Gazette since the Expropriation Bill.

This is not a bill. This is economic euthanasia with extra paperwork.

Picture this: South Africa, 33% official unemployment, 45% if you count the people who’ve given up looking. Youth unemployment at 60%. An economy growing slower than a stoned tortoise. And the ANC’s big idea to fix it? Force every single business in the country (from Woolworths to the lady selling vetkoek outside the taxi rank) to apply for a brand-new municipal licence just to be allowed to breathe.

Yes, you read that right. Every spaza, every hair braider, every Uber driver, every Etsy store, every backyard panel beater, every work-from-home graphic designer now has to register on a national database, pay fees, submit mountains of documents, and then wait while the same municipality that can’t collect rubbish or read a water meter decides whether you’re worthy of trading.

If they don’t like your face, your race, your political connections, or if the ANC councillor’s cousin just opened a competing business, tough luck, comrade. Application denied. Business dead.

And just to make it extra spicy, they’ve created a brand-new army of clipboard-wielding “Business Inspectors” with more power than a traffic cop on month-end. These heroes can rock up any time, demand your licence, and if you don’t have it (or if they’re just having a bad day), they can fine you R100,000 on the spot, confiscate your stock, and padlock your doors. No magistrate, no appeal, no mercy. Just instant financial execution.

Imagine the bribery opportunities. It’s like the ANC sat down and asked, “How can we make metro police look honest by comparison?”

Oh, and because nothing says “pro-poor” like crushing the informal sector, this genius law specifically targets the two million street traders and survivalist businesses. You know, the people who actually feed their kids when SASSA grants run out. They now need formal municipal permission to sell apples on the corner. Good luck getting that permission in a township where the councillor only visits during election year with KFC vouchers.

They even snuck in a cute little clause allowing licences to be allocated according to “demographic representativity”. Translation: if you’re Indian, coloured, or white and you’re in a township, better start polishing your ANC membership card or kiss that renewal goodbye.

This is what happens when a liberation movement runs out of ideas and defaults to its factory setting: control everything, tax everything, own everything, punish anyone who succeeds without permission.

The GNU was supposed to be the grown-up in the room. Instead, the ANC just used its majority to ram through another wet dream of Soviet-style central planning while the DA issues strongly worded press statements from the cheap seats.

Let me fix that for you: the DA is in the GNU too, remember? They’re literally sitting in Cabinet while this trash fire burns.

Small businesses create seven out of every ten new jobs in this country. This bill is a deliberate middle finger to every entrepreneur, every hustler, every mom who started baking cakes during lockdown to keep the lights on.

It will kill jobs by the hundreds of thousands. It will explode corruption. It will drive what’s left of the formal economy into the arms of Mauritius and Portugal. And it will turn every municipality into a toll booth manned by comrades with fake qualifications and real guns.

This is not governance by people who have never in their lives signed the front of a payslip.

If you own a business, if you work in one, if you ever hope to start one, scream now or cry later.

Flood the DTIC inbox. Spam every minister on every platform. Phone talk radio until the lines melt. Make this bill so toxic that even the ANC’s coalition partners grow a spine for five minutes.

Time's up tomorrow, don't let this bill become law without a fight! The public comment deadline is Friday, November 28, 2025 (that's tomorrow, so get moving!). Email your objections to Mr. Thembani Masinge at [email protected], addressed to him, and demand a full scrap or total overhaul to save entrepreneurs, informal traders, and our sputtering economy from this license-to-loot disaster. Keep it short, furious, and factual: copy-paste templates from #ScrapTheBusinessLicensingBill campaigns on X or Dear South Africa if you're stuck. Your email could be the nail in this coffin! Flood those inboxes before midnight!

Because if this becomes law, the only licence anyone will need in South Africa is a licence to be poor.
