@Mbali60697Q @SizweDhlomo 😂 me too ! “fine young man” has zero lust or shady connotations when referring to a child. It’s actually praise to the parents for a job well done. The boy turned out well — respectful, funny and well-mannered. So what if the isiZulu is not fully popping yet😂 he'll b okay

[Thando Bangiso @bangiso]

@SizweDhlomo Actually, the parents are forgiven too 😭😂 They gave us a fine young man with a beautiful sense of humour. IsiZulu sizakumfundisa later 💕 infact we are gonna add nesXhosa. He can get 3 for 1! Ngunyanawethu oyintanda sonke ngoku lo

@SizweDhlomo Why do I love him though! 😆😆🤣🤣🤣💓 he's forgiven. I blame the parents.. Not him

@MikeRamothwala @MikaNgobeni with a strong focus on emerging markets, township commerce, and practical digital payment adoption.
I believe there’s strong alignment in helping space shops/spaza shops unlock: • safer cashless transactions
• faster customer checkouts
• simplified reconciliation and record

Along the way somebody was gracious enough to take a chance on you because you had the right attitude even if you didn't have the skills to match. It's only right you extend the same grace to someone else.

@KingBishop1st @VusiThembekwayo Reading this thread, it’s clear the real issue isn’t pap vs rolls — it’s speed and convenience.
This is exactly where SnapScan should enter the chat 📲
Cashless payments, faster queues, and the ability to pay in seconds — that’s how stadium experiences should work in 2026.

The government appears more focused on bilateral engagements across Africa than on addressing the urgent realities on the ground at home. The truth is that the current state of the South African economy is placing immense pressure on millions of unemployed young people, many of whom feel sidelined while low-paying opportunities are increasingly filled by those willing to accept less.

Leadership continues to issue statements and warnings, yet the core issues remain unresolved. Youth unemployment is rising, frustration is growing, and border management remains weak. In many communities, there is a perception that low-skilled jobs, once accessible to South Africans, are now harder to secure.

Violence must be condemned without hesitation. However, history has shown that the cost of ignoring underlying issues is far greater than confronting them honestly.

The Department of Home Affairs does not inspire confidence. Instead of decisive action on migration management, we regularly see reports of internal corruption, fraudulent documentation, and systems being abused. The Minister speaks more about attracting “critical skills” and improving accessibility, while thousands of qualified graduates remain without opportunities.

At the same time, there is limited accountability or urgency from across the continent. Few African leaders openly engage with the pressures South Africa is facing, and even fewer actively encourage solutions that strengthen opportunities within their own countries.

South Africa is under strain. It is increasingly difficult for the country to meet the needs of its own citizens, and failure to properly manage migration only deepens public frustration. Yet when these concerns are raised, they are often dismissed as xenophobia, particularly by those insulated from the realities on the ground.

A walk through many towns and cities tells a different story: young people actively searching for work, competing in an environment where opportunities are scarce, while political leaders move past in convoys, disconnected from the urgency of the situation.

This is not sustainable. Leaders must engage honestly with the lived experiences of citizens or risk facing the consequences of continued neglect. No political movement can ignore the scale of unemployment and the concerns around migration while still expecting the support of the affected youth.

Africa’s challenges will not be resolved by concentrating pressure on South Africa’s economy, infrastructure, and social systems. Real progress will come from strengthening economies across the continent and fostering accountability within each nation.

Equally, external commentary that criticises South Africans while ignoring the underlying issues is disingenuous. Citizens are raising concerns about unemployment, crime, drugs, corruption, and the visible decline of their communities.

Yes, Africa must unite, especially in a shifting global landscape where geopolitical tensions are rising and misinformation is increasingly weaponised. But that unity cannot come at the expense of South Africa’s stability.

The people of this country have already endured generations of hardship. This generation should not be expected to carry the burden of unresolved structural challenges without meaningful leadership and action.
