@mphoramabule2 All those who say it's a myth or superstition, why don't you'll try it and see what will happen?

🇿🇦This is a very well written piece by an African about why our country is in the state it is....

‼️ The Politics of Self-Destruction ‼️
There comes a time in a nation’s life when even the educated must admit defeat — not because they have failed, but because the system rewards failure.
That dejected look on General Mkhwanazi’s face captured that exact moment — when competence meets political deployment, and logic meets the stupidity of power.

Here is a man with a BTech in Policing, an MBA, an LLB, a National Diploma in Police Administration, and is an admitted attorney of the High Court — forced to answer questions from a Parliament that confuses noise for intellect.

What we saw in that room was not governance. It was a performance — a theater of mediocrity sponsored by the taxpayer.

This is the crisis of Africa — not lack of education, not lack of talent — but the deliberate exclusion of capable minds from positions of influence.

Political deployment has become the new apartheid — it separates the loyal from the qualified. It replaces thinkers with followers and silences those who still believe in merit.

In such a country, education no longer inspires. It humiliates.
Because the child in the township sees the truth:
that the man who read all the books sits jobless,
while the one who shouts the loudest slogan drives a government car.
When young people see that power is gained through party loyalty, not through knowledge, they lose faith in school.
They drop out, not because they are lazy, but because the system has made ignorance profitable.
How do you convince a young girl in Limpopo to finish matric when she sees her councillor can’t spell “governance” yet controls millions in municipal funds?
How do you tell a boy in Mahikeng to study electrical engineering when the tender for electricity is awarded to a DJ?

That is the economic collapse we refuse to measure — the destruction of faith in education.
It’s not just corruption of money — it’s corruption of purpose.
The economy doesn’t collapse because of lack of minerals or investors.
It collapses because of mental poverty — the kind that makes a leader think a slogan can build a road, or that a struggle song can replace sound fiscal management.
Africa’s tragedy is not that we are poor.
It’s that we are mismanaged.
We export gold and import poverty.
We have diamonds under our feet and debt over our heads.
We send our best engineers abroad, while we appoint cousins to build bridges that collapse before the ribbon is cut.
Political deployment has turned public service into personal service.
Institutions are no longer centers of excellence — they are shelters for the connected.
That is why our schools fail, our hospitals die, and our police are demoralized.
Because every appointment is political, not professional.
And every professional who dares to challenge the system is pushed out — humiliated, or silenced.
General Mkhwanazi’s look of defeat was not personal.
It was national.
He carried on his face the disappointment of every competent South African trapped in an incompetent system.
And until we replace party loyalty with national loyalty,
until we restore meritocracy over mediocrity,
we will keep watching our brightest minds fade away in despair.

The revolution Africa needs today is not just political — it is intellectual.
It is time to decolonize our thinking, not just our slogans.
It is time to value results over rhetoric, books over boots, and skill over slogans.
Because when mediocrity governs excellence,
poverty becomes permanent.

So, let the message be clear:
We will no longer clap for stupidity.
We will no longer elect the loudest voice — we will elect the most capable mind.
We will no longer let our children believe that education is useless.
Because the future of Africa depends on the restoration of merit, discipline, and dignity.

@KhuselaS Fortunate enough, I heard on the radio today that icasa wants nothing to do with starling and all those who use it as roaming got messages today that it is not known in SA

[Dash van Ranko(dvr) @dashgrrr]

@Lesufi @ZizinjaAbelungu All the above mentioned wants people to work in order to access them ntate @Lesufi, private schools, private hospitals and those shops at that mall. Most tenders of these malls are given to construction mafias!

[Dash van Ranko(dvr) @dashgrrr]

@Lesufi You'll be building malls and shopping centres every where. Why not build SOE's?
20K job for 1.5 years, what's gonna happen when they're done with building it? Who is gonna buy from that mall since those who built it will be jobless? These malls are just used to clean dirty money

@DonaldJTrumpJr, @elonmusk this is what Whites Genocide is here in SOUTH AFRICA

[Dash van Ranko(dvr) @dashgrrr]

@Lebona_cabonena This looks like vereeniging, opposite municipality office is the court

[Dash van Ranko(dvr) @dashgrrr]

@katiabeeden @MYANC You still have the opportunity to go back home, either Dutch land or Scotland. Why are you still here? You'll be complaining about South African laws but you'll don't wanna go!.. White people think the USA laws will be made easy for them

[Dash van Ranko(dvr) @dashgrrr]

@elonmusk Must we also start counting the graves of those killed by whites during the apartheid era and name those whom their graves were never found?

[Dash van Ranko(dvr) @dashgrrr]

@elonmusk, @realDonaldTrump. I am not posting this to prove anything. As people of color in South Africa we have nothing to prove... If Blacks were to do what white people did to them, there would be no white person left in SA

[Dash van Ranko(dvr) @dashgrrr]

@ChrisExcel102 That English teacher is going to milk him dry and ask for a divorce, white people want a community of property by force or they won't marry you. He must ask our rugby captain Siya

[Dash van Ranko(dvr) @dashgrrr]

@Ama2000Official @elonmusk and @DonaldTrump we don't know the South Africa you speak so ill about, because wow its happening here in South Africa. The problem is the white South African parents who are angry that some of their children are not adopting their racial bullshit

[Dash van Ranko(dvr) @dashgrrr]

@SimplyMegszcpt This is not just about South Africa, those big pharm companies are gonna struggle without money from us and it's about time Africans become responsible for their actions. The sick will die and those not sick will start afresh, hard pill to swallow

[Dash van Ranko(dvr) @dashgrrr]

@DisprinXtra No pigged skin ancestors of yours fought for this country, the only fight they fought was to take over this country from its original inhibitors and oppress them. Jou ancestors se poese hoor jy my oom en joy knattels ook

[Dash van Ranko(dvr) @dashgrrr]

@AntonFoooker50 Just pack your bags and go home. The rest we'll figure out ourselves. Why are you worried about us? Europe will die without our coal, gold, cobalt, copper, diamond, cocoa etc. Why are you'll fighting land expropriation if Africa is so bad?
