That depends dear colleague on what you regard as shared prosperity. I see no shared prosperity in rejecting substantive equality, by rejecting restitutive/affirmative action to redress the colonial and apartheid legacies, which the Cibstitutionak Court has said is peremptory. . I see no shared prosperity in requiring workers, in the most unequal society in the world, to forego minimum wages so they become Rhodes’s envisaged endless supply of unfree labour. I see no shared prosperity in restricting land reform to people getting title deeds on the mouse’s share of land they occupy as shacks and matchbox houses. I see no shared prosperity in reducing the NSFAS threshold for a full bursary to R180.000 thus increasing the missing middle. I see no shared prosperity in rejecting the SRD grant. The people, (2/3) of them, have spoken and rejected this perverse notion of shared prosperity hence the MPC moonshot got less than 30% of the votes. Let’s not be tone deaf.

Couldn’t agree more with Prof Madonsela here.

[Prof Thuli Madonsela #KindnessBuilds @ThuliMadonsela3]

Any deal that gives control of the legislature to any party that rejects substantive equality as envisaged in s9(2) of the Constitution read with s7(2)- the state’s duty to fulfil human rights’ the preamble committing to healing the divisions of the past and establishing a society based on social justice and human rights where every citizen’s life is improved and everyone’s potential is freed within an Ubuntu anchored shared humanity that includes human solidarity entailed in rights such as social assistance, which includes the Basic Income Grant and the right to education, which includes progressive increase in NSFAS funding and real redistribution of land, will not only fail to deliver shared prosperity but will also be a spit on the Constitution and the people of South Africa who voted for more and not less transformation and a deathknell to the ANC #SADemocracyAt30🇿🇦 #ChooseWisely🇿🇦

@MarkSham On this one I agree with you totally. We need to stop with the broadstrokes regarding our past and get policians who are truly about our people and not the current crop who use genuine causes, legislation and narratives to protect narrow agendas and an inequitable status quo.

[Vukile Zondi @Vukile]

@MarkSham A deep mistrust amongst black SAns towards white SAns exists. Pushing the rainbow nation PR campaign whilst taking redress and healing for granted is amongst the reasons why. White people (NOT ALL)spending 1 weekend with a colleague or helper and learning their language may help

@prow_II Omuhle umbuzo. Ubani vele owanitshela ukuthi lento iyabukeka?

[Vukile Zondi @Vukile]

@nissanza Not with the brakes and brakes pads for the new Nissan Navara. Both Umhlanga and Pinetown branches have never been able to fix shuddering on the brakes and I have to change brake pads every service.

[Vukile Zondi @Vukile]

@khayadlanga Eyi dude, sequence of events was different but a life-changing moment that I will never forget. The triggers catch me off guard often. The latest being a close friend losing his mother yesterday. Just brought everything back. Ume njalo Dlanga 💪🏾

[Vukile Zondi @Vukile]

I ask the question I asked earlier because I own a new @nissanza Navara but from the time I bought it, I have had issues with brake shuddering, squeaking brakes and brakes needing replacing with every service. I have raised it with the dealerships, with @nissanza and they keep saying nothing is wrong, its normal wear and tear and insinuating I might be heavy on the brakes.

Now I have driven a @jeep Wrangler that I did a lot of offroading with, especially sand dunes. A @FordSouthAfrica Wildtrack with which I did a lot of offroad courses. A @VW Amarok which I used to transport 1.5 tons of fresh produce over 100kms, twice a month as a side hustle. Never had this issue.

Since I bought the @nissanza Navara a year and a half ago, I have had these recurring issues, but I have done none of the extreme stuff above. I’m actually now avoiding doing anything 4x4ish stuff because its failing as a tar road bakkie.

[Vukile Zondi @Vukile]

Hi guys. Does anyone out here drive, or know someone who drives, the new Nissan Navara?

Have you had to change your brakes everytime your car is serviced i.e. 15 000kms?

Or did they just sell me a faulty car?

[Vukile Zondi @Vukile]

@Elmakapelma @louisludik @BouwerBosch Masterclass in creative execution, timing, detail and so much more….wow. This is how you use a big budget.

Who did this? I bow to their thai-chi 👌🏾

History

#RWC2023 | #RWCFinal

[Typical African @Joe__Bassey]

Falsehoods packaged as history must end.

Jan van Riebeeck did not arrive in the Cape in 1652. Nor did he discover it. He came here in 1648 to scout like the true criminal pirate that he was.

The Dutch East India Company did not exclude the local population from slavery. There was domestic slavery, even after the demise of the company.

Slavery did not end in 1834. It continued as apprenticeships, then as the law of master and servant, until at least 1974.

Europeans did not gift Africans the Bill of Rights. Africans conceived it. Then waged a revolution for it.

South Africa was not an empty piece of ground when white settlers arrived. Africans, including the indigenous Khoi and San people had lived here literally for thousands of years.

The land was not "sold" on exchange for pieces of silver. It was taken by European gun power.

Whites did not buy Nguni cattle from Africans. They got them by trickery and force.

These myths must really end.
