The aim of this bill is to reduce the pay disparity that exists between white and black workers. The DA is trying to stop this bill from being passed, just as they opposed the increase of the minimum wage. The DA is an enemy of the black working class. Vote responsibly.
Stats SA Acting DDG for Population and Social Statistics, Solly Molayi says that 11.6 million children in the country live in multidimensional poverty. A Stats SA report shows that more than 57% of children aged 0 to 17 experience poverty in at least three areas of their lives.

Y'all see how language works?
MBJ is "demanding" $18M to play Tubbs, but if this was Chris Evans he'd be "negotiating" for $18M to play Crockett.

He currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Research Foundation (NRF) of South Africa, a position he has held since April 2021.Early Life and EducationHe was born in Lukau village, within the greater Lwamondo area in Venda, Limpopo Province, South Africa.
Growing up in a rural setting, he attended Belemu Primary School (walking long distances to school) and matriculated from Mbilwi Secondary School in 1995 (or around that period).Determined to pursue engineering and make an impact, he received a bursary from Eskom to study at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in Johannesburg. He earned his BSc in Electrical Engineering (or BEng) in 2005. He became a registered Professional Engineer with the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) in 2006.He completed his PhD in Electrical Engineering, specializing in Computational Intelligence, from Wits in 2008.
His thesis focused on "Computational intelligence techniques for missing data imputation," supervised by Prof Tshilidzi https://t.co/MYBvTe0j0s 2008โ2009, he was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University (Graduate School of Arts and Sciences) through the Harvard-South Africa Fellowship Programme, becoming the youngest South African to receive this prestigious award.CareerHe joined the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in 2008 as a principal researcher and competence area manager in Information Security within the Modelling and Digital Science unit.

Featured in Mail & Guardian's 200 Young South Africans (2008, 2010, 2012).
Other honors include CSIR awards and recognition from the Operations Research Society of South Africa.
He is widely regarded as an inspirational figure, especially for youth from rural and disadvantaged backgrounds, often highlighted for breaking barriers (e.g., first in his community to fly, travel abroad, and earn a degree).
The real feature here my darling is the fact that the apartheid government ran secret slush funds, sanctions-busting schemes, offshore loot, โlifeboatโ bank bailouts and propaganda projects like Muldergate, while dispossessing and killing. Go read the Ciex report and see how your ABSA, Sanlam, Armscor, FNB & nedbank benefitted during apartheid, and still continue to benefit. lol. Bo avbob ๐
The ANC isnโt a saint, but I will never shy away from the truth that it inherited a wreckage and had to rebuild for ALL South Africans.
Post 1994 the state massively expanded:
1. Electricity connections into townships, rural areas & informal settlements.
2.Water and sanitation access for communities previously excluded.
3.Housing delivery that enabled millions to own homes for the first time and continued to build homes.
4.Roads, schools, clinics in places apartheid neglected or deliberately underdeveloped.
5. Child support grants for children with no parenrs, old age pensions, disability grants, foster care grants, all at a large scale.
6. Desegregated schooling and universities in law
7. Free government schools and large-scale learner support in poorer communities (imperfect, but a major shift from Bantu Educationโs intent to limit Black advancement), NSFAS etc etcโฆ
What achievements can the apartheid government brag about?
