Thailand is reducing its visa-free stay from 60 days to 30 days for tourists from South Africa. The government says the decision follows rising concerns over South Africans visitors involved in crime, illegal business operations, visa overstays, drug offenses, and other inappropriate behavior.
@AfricaFactsZone, Thank you for bringing this up. First, it's true I took back my ambulance & I have no apologies for that. Why did I do it? It's because they didn't vote for me. So did you expect me to walkaway with nothing? Galatians 6:7 A man reaps what he sows.
In Kruger National Park, South Africa, veteran ranger Sipho Nkosi suffered a heart attack while on solo patrol. His vehicle was found empty, and search teams began looking for him.
What the park’s remote trail cameras revealed broke the hearts of everyone who saw the footage.
An old bull elephant — known to rangers as “Mnumzane” (Zulu for “Sir”) — had found Sipho’s body. For three full days and nights, the elephant refused to leave. He stood guard, gently touching the ranger with his trunk, chasing away hyenas and jackals that came too close, and even covering parts of the body with branches and leaves.
On the third night, the elephant was still there — visibly grieving, swaying slowly beside his fallen friend. Only when the full recovery team arrived with vehicles did Mnumzane finally step back, watching solemnly as they carried Sipho away.
Park officials later confirmed that Sipho had rescued this same elephant as a calf years earlier after poachers killed his mother. The elephant had never forgotten.
One colleague who viewed the footage whispered:
“He didn’t come to say goodbye. He came to make sure no one disrespected his brother.”
Mnumzane still visits the exact spot regularly. Rangers now leave fresh water and fruit there in honor of both.
Enca made a post saying “AT LEAST five people died in the Cape Town storms” and some lady is asking why they said “At least.”
Now people are explaining that it’s not the kasi version of at least 😭😭😭
That Tyma on the Madlanga Commission was asked how he could give someone R3 million without any written contract and his response was “I’m from Mamelodi”
😭😭yerrr
High unemployment affects you even when you are employed. Employee rights & working conditions deteriorate. Workers are easily exploited & ill -treated because the pool of labour is vast and workers can easily be replaced.

The third world isn't a place, it's a people.
Third world countries exist because they are full of third world people.
If you send every German to Nigeria and every Nigerian to Germany, in 5 years, Nigeria will become a civilized nation and Germany will become a third world.
Fun fact: Sarafina's character was actually based on Winnie Madikizela Mandela. Sarafina isn't about the 76 uprising, but the '85 state of emergency. The filmmakers knew they wouldn't get away with it if they made Sarafina an adult. So they made her a radical high school who could chant "free mandela", get arrested, tortured and still make it out alive...thats because THAT was Winnie's REALITY.
Infact Sarafina was brainstormed in mam'Winnie's kitchen.
