SARS takes up to 45% of what we earn, then we pay 15% VAT on almost everything we buy. Inflation eats whatever we manage to save, municipal rates & levies come for the property we already own, and fuel levies are waiting every time we fill up. At this point South Africans aren’t citizens, we’re shareholders with no dividends

Football can be so unfair… 🔥⚽💔

Spain completely outclassed Argentina in a way never before seen in a World Cup final. They dominated every aspect of the game, and Luis de la Fuente delivered a tactical masterclass, giving Lionel Scaloni a harsh footballing lesson.

For the first time in World Cup final history, a team failed to register a single shot on target over 90 minutes and didn’t win its first corner until after the 90th minute.

Spain’s counter-pressing was extraordinary. Their ball recoveries were historic, often winning possession back within just 10 seconds.

For the first time in any World Cup final, a team completed more than 743 accurate passes in 90 minutes. Spain also created 21 scoring opportunities, while Argentina created none.

Spain are an incredibly difficult team to stop because they dictate the tempo, control the rhythm, and force opponents to play at their pace—not the other way around. They wear teams down mentally and physically.

An utterly dominant performance. 🔥🔥✔️

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.

This immigration issue has exposed so many people who are just educated but are far far from being learned. Who would’ve thought that going to school would result in people who think they went there just so they can be beyond reproach? People who are Intransigent and who tell people that their thoughts are superior because they used to excel in school making them semi-deity’s.

These ppl think they are beyond being taught by an ordinary person just because they see themselves as far more educated than anyone, resulting in them dismissing and downplaying peoples lived experiences that also have nothing to do with their area of learning? People who aren’t even humble enough to admit they were wrong and take accountability , they just tell you they are educated and that’s it, It’s even worse when that person is supposed to be a leader but they are just immune to the reality of others.

It’s sad because the mere definition of education is descriptive of a process that is never ending…

Yhoo. I am busy reading Ndlozi's PhD and I must admit I am struggling to understand how this opening chapter survived rigorous academic scrutiny. The chapter is structured almost entirely around Ndlozi's personal encounter with his estranged father. For lengthy stretches it reads less like a doctoral thesis and more like a memoir of childhood abandonment.

Yes, auto ethnography is a legitimate research methodology. The issue is not the use of personal experience. The issue is what is done with it. Personal narrative must illuminate the research problem not substitute for its analysis. A researcher cannot simply recount a deeply personal experience and then declare it theoretically significant. The analytical bridge must be built not assumed.

What I find troubling is that the connection between Ndlozi's one experience of father absence and the broader claim of colonial "permanent juniority" is repeatedly asserted but insufficiently demonstrated. The reader is expected to accept an enormous conceptual leap that should have been painstakingly justified through evidence, argumentation and engagement with competing explanations.

I am equally concerned about the methodology. Humanities scholars may disagree with me and I am open to correction but from the perspective of someone trained in scientific research, this approach would struggle to pass muster even in many undergraduate research projects. Reflexivity requires a researcher to acknowledge their positionality and potential biases. It does not require the researcher to become the dominant subject of the thesis itself.

A strict examiner might reasonably ask “Is this a PhD about black youth politics in the Vaal or is it a PhD about Mbuyiseni Ndlozi's relationship with his father?” When that question can be asked with a straight face after reading the opening chapter, there is a serious issue of focus.

What makes the situation even more disappointing is that Ndlozi appears not to have produced peer reviewed journal articles arising from this work. That matters. The value of a PhD is not merely that it is completed and archived. Its value lies in its contribution to the broader body of knowledge through scholarly circulation, criticism, replication, engagement and debate.

A thesis that remains largely confined to an institutional repository is a contribution that never fully enters the marketplace of ideas. Concepts remain underdeveloped, arguments remain insufficiently challenged and theoretical claims remain untested by the discipline of peer review. For a project making such ambitious claims, that is a significant missed opportunity.

The tragedy is not that the work exists. The tragedy is that it seems never to have been pushed through the crucible of open scholarly contestation where strong ideas are refined, weak ideas are exposed and genuine contributions are forged. If there was a significant theoretical contribution here, academia may never fully benefit from it. That is a loss not only for the field, but for Ndlozi's own scholarly legacy.

Kwaggafontein made me believe that the whole Justice System is rigged!! 😭 And there's nothing we can do about it. I reached that conclusion last night. I had been having my own suspicions like many other South Africans, but now no one can convince me otherwise.

I'm beginning to doubt if #MadlangaCommission itself will change anything. In the end, all they will do is submit a report to the President. Nothing will come out of it. All these arrests, it is the NPA that must take the cases to court. What happened to the Prosecutor in Kwaggafontein? It seems everyone is told what to do, probably including the President himself.

The Defense was a former NPA Boss. Do you think that was a chance appointment, we just happened to find the best lawyer in the land? 😅

Advocate Mothibi's people, as the new NPA Boss, acting in this strange manner with the issue of the missing prosecutor, the strange judgement of the Magistrate, the Justice Ministry jumping on board, statements flying all over the place, including the Parliament Justice Portfolio Committee Chair?! Everyone is placed in their positions like a soccer team? Mxm!

Right now I feel, unless the Generals are thinking differently about leading us, I have lost hope that this government will give us justice. We are busy playing games here, diketo ka Sesotho. Until I hear from General Mkhwanazi again, I'll watch the Commission just for vibes.
