Don’t know about you, but I get the feeling that South Africans are no longer impressed by people who create, do and grow nothing of value telling the rest of us how things should be or what they should do with our money. Parasites, hyenas and vultures have no business telling lions, eagles and honey badgers how to live.

@MammothWVH Well done, now come and play in South Africa.

@MammothWVH Love the production😎👍

@pookiepolls The narrative on this post serves no positivity except to get trolls out the woodwork. Talking about war is not good. How about checking where we have common ground and how we solve it!

@RenaldoGouws I have followed you for a while but your Headline this time is irresponsible. Clickbait at best. The picture is also in poor taste!

South Africans are fighting each other over the symptoms of bad government when they should be uniting to bring an end to the cause of it. Vote wisely. 🇿🇦

[Mark Barnes @mark_barnes56]

🇿🇦A government that doesn’t make money, but instead borrows it, or simply takes it from those who work to buy votes from those who don’t, will perpetuate dependency, entrench inequality and eventually go broke and lose power🇿🇦

[Roland Schoeman @Rolandschoeman]

Blaming every white person for apartheid isn’t justice, it’s just racism with a different target. And claiming I ‘killed people’ when I was a child? That’s not just absurd, it’s dangerous. The same people who say ‘not all black people commit crime’ have no problem saying ‘all white people are guilty of apartheid.’ That’s not justice, it’s hypocrisy.

And when that argument starts falling apart, the blame game kicks in. Suddenly, it’s ‘foreigners causing the crime,’ or ‘white people exploiting them.’ But never a word about corruption, lawlessness, or the real issues tearing South Africa apart. Why? Because it’s easier to push racial hatred than to fix a broken country.

South Africa is at a tipping point. You don’t fix the past by creating new divisions. You don’t build a future on blame and revenge. If people don’t wake up soon, history won’t just repeat itself—it’ll be worse.

@maroelamedia As Nasional eenheid nie gebeur nie kan die verkeerde koalisie n belastings boikot veroorsaak.

[Dirk Smit @dirkcsmit]

@eNCA A gov of National unity should be the call. Those that don’t want to participate can remain outside. If this does not happen the wrong coalition will cause a tax revolt!

Emanuele Grandi's moving poem dedicated to our four-legged friends.
"If you are afraid of having given me few caresses, you should know that I have not forgotten even one.
If you regret having scolded me even once, you should know that I don't even remember it.
If you think you've left me alone for too long, you should know that I've always been waiting for you.
If you are afraid of having spent little time with me, you should know that I, even that little, have enjoyed every moment.
If you think you've played little with me, you should know that I've never counted the times you threw the ball at me.
If you think I've forgotten about your perfume, you should know that even now I'm smelling it in the wind.
If you wanted to be reborn in another life, you should know that I would like to be your puppy in that one too.
If you are convinced that you have some flaws, you should know that for me you have been the perfect one.
If you believe that love can have an end, you should know that in my heart the place of love is infinite.
If you think you have regrets about me, you should know that I would not change a single second of the life I have spent with you.
If you think I no longer hear your voice when you call me, just entrust the sunset breeze with the task of bringing me your words.
If you think I can forget your face, you should know that I wanted to live alone to enjoy your look.
If you think I could have loved someone more than you, you should know that I have loved you more than myself.
If you think I would like a soft sofa, know that with you I would also have slept on the stones.
If you think I wanted more than you gave me, you should know that I've always felt
like the happiest puppy in the world.
If you have ever felt alone, you should know that I have never left my place next to you.
If you think my life has been short, you should know that I wouldn't have wanted to live a minute longer if I hadn't spent it by your side.
If you are afraid that I am no longer near you, know that as soon as you close your eyes I will fall asleep next to you.
If you think you have not made the right decision, you should know that I have always trusted you.
Always.
