@Netcare_Limited your service is terrible.
Arrived at the ER in Waterfall at 20:12 , it’s now 22:23 and we still haven’t been seen by the Dr on duty. There’s only one Dr on duty
I’m confused, was it Cyril who kept going to America to peddle a narrative of white genocide?! Listen, nobody can deny the ANC’s corruption at this point, but mate, this one is on you and your friends who kept on crying wolf. This your bed, now lay in it.
West African leaders have blood on their hands. West Africans should not have to move to the USA to survive. @ecowas_cedeao instead of obsessing over South Africa, why don’t you focus on improving your countries so your citizens don’t have to emigrate??
For three decades, you have promised to build a South Africa that is “better for all”. But somewhere along the way, the meaning of for all got lost and the struggle became increasingly about you, your comrades and the privileges that come with power.
You became arrogant, disconnected and out of touch with the very people you were elected to serve. The blue lights, bodyguards, government positions and VIP treatment got into your heads. You gradually forgot that public office is a responsibility, not a reward, and that leadership is about serving people, not looking down on them.
You prioritised everyone else (investors, foreigners and international interests) while neglecting the ordinary South Africans who entrusted you with their votes. We watched your fellow comrades boast about having the option of taking a shower at a hotel when there was no water at home, while ordinary citizens were expected to endure hours, sometimes days, without water flowing from their taps.
You failed to maintain the country’s infrastructure and allowed criminal mafias to establish themselves in spaces where the state should be firmly in control. You ratified international treaties and agreements without adequately considering their long-term implications for our economic sovereignty and development. You turned government departments, municipalities and SOEs into territories of political patronage rather than institutions of public service.
I could write until tomorrow about the opportunities wasted, the institutions weakened and the promises betrayed.
But perhaps the greatest tragedy is that you reduced the meaning of democracy to the act of voting every five years. You forgot that democracy does not end at the ballot box. It lives in the quality of water coming out of people’s taps, the safety of their neighbourhoods, the jobs they can access, the dignity with which they are treated and the confidence they have in their government.
South Africa was never meant to be a country where a select few enjoy the fruits of democracy while millions are left to survive on promises.
I hope that one day you will pause, look beyond your positions and privileges, and honestly reflect on what you have done with the trust of the people.
History will not judge you by how long you stayed in power, how many blue lights escorted you or how many positions your comrades occupied. It will judge you by whether the lives of ordinary South Africans became better because you were entrusted with leadership.
There is still a country worth fighting for, a democracy worth protecting and a future worth building. But that future must put ordinary South Africans back at the centre of everything. The people were never meant to serve those in power. Those in power were elected to serve the people.
IShowSpeed on why he did 3 streams in South Africa when only 1 stream was planned 🇿🇦
“I went to South Africa thinking it would be just one stream. Just one. That was the plan. But South Africa shocked me. Everything about it the energy, the people, the love it caught me completely off guard.
Cape Town gave me one of the best streams I’ve ever done in my life. Ever. And after that moment, we said, nah… one stream isn’t enough. We have to give something back. So we planned another stream not for us, but to reward the country for how insane they showed up.
And then Johannesburg happened.
We didn’t expect it to be as good as Cape Town. We didn’t expect it to match it… or even beat it. But it did. It was unreal. The love was overwhelming. We actually wanted to stay longer do more days, more streams but the tour had to continue.
And I’ll say this forever: South Africa isn’t just one of the best countries I’ve streamed in Africa… it’s one of the best countries I’ve streamed in the entire world.”
The streetlight situation in Joburg is VERY serious. The streets are DARK. Even major ones: Jan Smuts, Winnie Mandela dr, Rivonia Rd, Braam Fischer. ????
This perfect, beautiful and consistent sundowners weather that we have experienced in the past 8 days is what we needed in December. Not January. Waste!
Matching someone’s nonchalant energy when you’re naturally sweet and caring is mentally draining and damaging. You can lose yourself and never get it back.
