@News24 @Fin24 Why be so exaggeratively dramatic Trevor? DESTROY?

[Ebrahim Harvey @EbrahimHarvey]

@NicDawes the inclusion of Die Stem was not what the ANC wanted but because they had already made fundamental compromises they relented

[Ebrahim Harvey @EbrahimHarvey]

While the SABC is now our target if u dig deep into other media u might find many constitutional violations which they have hidden.

[Ebrahim Harvey @EbrahimHarvey]

For the media rigorous critical analysis is welcome and promoted as long as it's about the ruling ANC and it's allies and not about itself.

@milibay1974 @Julius_S_Malema once again my photo is hijacked! How does this happen? A technical glitch or political shenanigan?

[Ebrahim Harvey @EbrahimHarvey]

@Trevornoah lovely one! But though complex factors are at play decision to exit EU was right

[Ebrahim Harvey @EbrahimHarvey]

What if we declared our home and relationships a gossip-free zone? We'd have more time building our dreams than tearing down others - Oprah

[Ebrahim Harvey @EbrahimHarvey]

Sparrow was found guilty of racism and fined but many other instances of racism on social media which must be reported. Let them pay 4 it!

[Ebrahim Harvey @EbrahimHarvey]

Even if u not a writer due to its strict word limitation tweeting trains one to focus the mind on producing meaningful brevity. Great!

@NChikowore @SAfmRadio Once again while my photo is being used I have not said any such thing about education or SAFM.

@bluesky19755 @khayadlanga @ThuliMadonsela3 No that is where your racism comes from. U a racist bigot. Wont dignify u with further response

[Ebrahim Harvey @EbrahimHarvey]

@bluesky19755 @khayadlanga @ThuliMadonsela3 I learnt that a little knowledge on a topic can be more dangerous than total ignorance. Go read!

[Ebrahim Harvey @EbrahimHarvey]

@bluesky19755 @khayadlanga @ThuliMadonsela3 No, not coz I am black but coz u too used to regarding blacks as incapable of excellence!

[Ebrahim Harvey @EbrahimHarvey]

@khayadlanga @bluesky19755 @ThuliMadonsela3 The notion of black excellence is not even an iota racist. The objection instead sounds racist

[Ebrahim Harvey @EbrahimHarvey]

Will the true Zweli Vavi pls stand up? I knew him well until he was expelled from Cosatu. Today I don't know what he is up to? Does he? No!

[Ebrahim Harvey @EbrahimHarvey]

Had my say for today. Now I can take a well deserved break! Oh how I have come to love social media! Earlier cynicism gone. Great outlet!

[Ebrahim Harvey @EbrahimHarvey]

Primary reason for resurgence of race and racism today has to do with the fact that by far most of the wealth blacks produce is with whites

[Ebrahim Harvey @EbrahimHarvey]

I am not saying black capital must be left off the hook but they relatively small fry. Bulk of wealth still in hands of white capital.

[Ebrahim Harvey @EbrahimHarvey]

The white racist Nationalist Party was our political enemies but white capital - which stood behind them - was always our class enemies

[Ebrahim Harvey @EbrahimHarvey]

Black capital - even it's biggest representative - Motsepe - is around for a mere 1-2 decades. Anglo been pillaging us for over a century!
