@NhasiZviripayi @GaytonMcK, you havn't destroyed the SA girls team with your racist quotas yet? Are you waiting for a self funded "Bokkie Water Polo Week" before you leap into your racist rant against young South African girls in sport?

@landbourainier For many years I worked in community development projects, trying to uplift black communities. I helped manage, encourage, and raised funds for upliftment projects across the country. In all those years, I never met or encountered Kim Heller...not even as a volunteer...not once.

@Pietiepietste Dear Pemmy, never stop speaking. Yours, and Cyril's brain-meltingly stupid utterances keep me laughing while I dodge potholes and survive the smouldering wreck of a country your incompetence has created. Absolute comedy gold. Never change. 😂

So let's put BEE into perspective:
- Approximately 1.5 mil economically active whites in SA ( majority who were born near or after 1994 when apartheid ended) ) must pay reparation to 62 mil. blacks.
- This after 32 years of majority rule during which time trillions of rands worth of of taxpayers money was stolen as well as state resources looted ,plundered and wasted by the majority rule regime
- During the period under majority rule the government through their hare brained( ideologically based) policies brought economic growth to stagnation.

South Africa's racist policies are destroying the country.

[DogeDesigner @cb_doge]

Millions of South Africans are stuck with no internet that holds back their entire lives. Kids can’t learn online. Farmers can’t access real-time markets. Small businesses can’t compete globally. Hospitals struggle with telemedicine.

Starlink would change ALL of that overnight with blazing-fast, low-latency connectivity anywhere in the country.

But it’s STILL not allowed.

Why? Because the people in power have made it crystal clear: Elon Musk isn’t Black. That’s literally the reason. Just raw racial gatekeeping.

Denying millions of citizens a basic 21st-century tool because the founder’s skin color doesn’t check the right box. This isn’t “equity” it’s straight-up injustice dressed up as policy.

And here’s the part that shows who Elon really is:

He’s been offered the “easy way out” multiple times. Just install a Black front-man, pretend he runs Starlink South Africa, pay the right bribes, and boom, license granted. Easy millions (or billions) in revenue. No one would even blink. That’s how the game is played there.

Elon refused. Every. Single. Time.
He could have cashed out, looked the other way, and let the corruption machine keep spinning. Instead he said: “No. We do this the right way or not at all.” Principles over profit.

That’s the Elon the legacy media will never show you, because it shatters their scripted narrative.

South Africa deserves Starlink. Its people deserve better than being held hostage by racist bureaucracy.

Elon’s doing it the honest way. Respect.
@elonmusk keep fighting the good fight 🇿🇦🚀

Never forget this.

This is Velaphi Khumalo, an ANC party member and government employee, openly calling to "cleanse this country of all White people," invoking Hitler’s treatment of the Jews, demanding you be skinned alive, and your children used as fertilizer.

He wasn’t some random troll. He was part of the ruling party that still dominates South African politics.

This is why there will never be genuine unity or reconciliation. When one side’s activists and officials routinely express genocidal fantasies against you; while the government protects or mildly slaps them on the wrist, "Rainbow Nation" is just a cruel joke.

Stay vigilant. Your survival depends on it. No unity with those who dream of your extermination.

Your "we are a young nation, just 32 years old" version is hogwash!!
Germany, Japan, Russia—all started from proper apocalypse: cities levelled, economies cut in half or more, people eating grass in some cases.
Yet they all clawed back to strong or even top-tier status way faster than SA's done jack shit with a much easier hand.

Germany: Total rubble '45–'48.
5–10 years to Europe's engine.

Japan: Bombed to bits '45, economy halved. Pre-war living standards mid-'50s (~10 years), then 10% yearly miracle growth,
#2 economy late '60s timeline 10–20 years

Russia: GDP halved '91–'98 collapse. Oil prices + some fixes 1999–2008, per capita beat Soviet levels by mid-2000s.
8–10 years rebound.

Common 🧵
Leaders who actually gave a damn about results over personal enrichment.
They fixed basics fast, educated people, pushed exports hard, welcomed investment, ran on merit not connections.

SA in '94? No bombs, no war wipeout, mines pumping, banks solid, ports working, sanctions lifted—starting position miles ahead of any of them.

1994–2008: 3–4% growth, per capita up decently on commodity prices.
Then? Nothing.
Real per capita GDP flatlined or dropped since ~2011–2013 peaks (IMF/World Bank numbers still show it stagnant/declining into 2025).
Growth ~0.8% average last decade+, unemployment glued at 32–33%.

Reason's simple and ugly: The people in charge picked stealing and staying in power over actually growing the place. Eskom turned into a looting machine from ~2008—15+ years of blackouts torching factories and growth (2%+ GDP lost yearly).
Transnet and other SOEs gutted for tenders.
BEE became a fast-track for the connected few, not broad progress. Crime everywhere, skilled people fleeing, constant talk of grabbing land/companies scaring everyone off.
No big commodity windfall used smartly, no export push, no education overhaul, no "get it done" attitude.
Those other countries bled for it and delivered. SA's leadership bled the economy dry instead. That's why after 32 years there's no miracle—just excuses, decline, and the same tired stories.

@miraaikie ANC Government Strategic Plan for Gautrain:
Step 1: Ticket price increase.
Step 2: Loot cash designated for maintenance, training, and wages.
Step 3: Infrastructure, labour, and mechanical collapse.
Step 4: Blame Apartheid.
Step 5: Gautaxi.

@HeinzZzA It's not your fault, like me, you're not bright enough to understand this level of stupid. You once were, when you were a toddler, and you felt no shame soiling yourself in public, but now, you're a dumb adult who feels polite respect for others and the environment that we share.

@TheTruthPanther Isn't it true that the last apartheid law, "the Population Registration Act of 1950" (which classified South Africans by race and underpinned the entire system) was repealed on 17 June 1991 as part of President F.W. de Klerk's reforms leading to the end of apartheid?
