Home Affairs has confirmed that Chidimaโs birth registration was done by means of ID theft. The ID belonged to Sara Moyo. Further investigation confirms that her birth registration contravened the Births reg act.
When the dust settles corporate South Africa needs to be shamed for its lack of support for Bafana Bafana. E.g. Checkers gave staff Green tops for the Springboks and you'd see flags all over the shop on Matchdays. Nothing for Bafana Bafana.
"If having sex with a girl who is black out drunk considered rape, then almost every man is a rapist."
YOU. ARE. SO. FUCKING. CLOSE. TO. GETTING. THE. POINT. YOU. PUMPKIN. SPICE. SCENTED. TRASH. BAG.
I will never participate in the inhumane way misogyny views women. NEVER.
A virgin woman and a sex worker have the same value and dignity. FULL STOP.
That is how I view all women, equally.
Let me educate you not with anger, but with truth. You assume South Africans lack exposure. You assume we believe other African countries are poor and undeveloped. That is not the case. We know the reality. We know Nigeria has oil. We know Ghana has gold. We know Kenya has tech. We know Botswana has diamonds. We know Zambia has copper. We know Zimbabwe has platinum and lithium. We know the DRC sits on $24 trillion in minerals. We know Africa is rich.
But here is what you do not understand, wealth beneath the ground does not translate to prosperity above it. You can have all the minerals in the world but if your leaders steal, your constitutions hostile towards humans rights, if your institutions are corrupt, if your people are divided by tribe, if your healthcare collapses, if your schools crumble, if your youth flee then you are poor. Not in resources. In governance. In accountability. In dignity.
We do not look down on Africa. We look at the mirror Africa refuses to face. We see our own flaws corruption, unemployment, crime and we fight them. We protest. We vote. We demand better. That is what makes us different. We do not run. We stay. We build. We hold our leaders accountable, even when it hurts.
You say we lack exposure. But we see you. We see your leaders flying overseas to get treated, some in our country to get medical treatment, while your children starve. We see your ports exporting raw minerals while your people have no jobs. We are not blind. We are not ignorant. We are honest.
The difference between South Africa and many other African countries is not wealth. It is the willingness to confront failure. We own ours. You run from yours. That is not a lack of exposure. That is a lack of accountability. And until you fix that, no mineral, no resource, no tweet will save you. Go home. Fix your house. Then talk to us about exposure.
