What the Dishonorable Deputy President doesn't seem to comprehend is that NONE of your land was stolen. You weren't pushed off your land

The Land act gave you your land that you were living on and made you sovereign owners of that land. After failing to develop that land into anything useful you instead did what all communists do, you started demanding that the Afrikaners must give you their land because their land was turned into economically active properties.

In 1994 we acknowledged our sins, we apologised and gave you a working first world nation and for 32 years you've done nothing but destroy it. Turning it once more into an unproductive Bantustan constantly screaming at the world to give you free money and wealth.

Minister of Mineral and Petroleum Resources, Gwede Mantashe, says South Africa needs to fast-track the establishment of a new state-owned company to address rising fuel prices.

According to the minister, one of the key reasons South Africa’s fuel prices suffer during global oil-price turmoil is its over-reliance on imports.

“The reality confronting us is that South Africa remains overly dependent on imported refined petroleum products,” he said.

WELL YOU FN IDIOT. THAT IS WHY WE USED TO HAVE SAPREF UNTIL THE ANC KILLED IT, IN FAVOUR OF IMPORTS.

@MYANC is a curse upon this land. VOETSEK.

The skin colour of the farmer is meaningless. The South African government should refrain from intervening in the agricultural market to engineer racial balances. Instead, it must focus on fostering an environment where anyone with the skills and knowledge to farm can do so freely. It’s that simple! #economy #politics #markets

Unreal numbers 👀⚡️
"JPMorgan estimates that, had Germany not phased out nuclear power, the country would have generated 50% less electricity from fossil fuels and 84% less electricity from natural gas in 2024. Electricity prices in Germany would have been around 25% lower, and the country would have imported half as much electricity.."

When this war is over South Africa will be on a new trajectory .. the grip of Khameini over Ramaphosa & the ANC cadres will be gone and the ANCs allegiance to terror will be rendered impotent - it’s time for a new regime …not just in Iran but in South Africa too 🙌🇿🇦‼️

Tajikistan : A country with 97% muslim population

Banned Burqa
Banned Hijab
Banned Prayer (Namaz) at public places
Banned Azan on loudspeaker

They love their Tajik culture. They hate radical Islamists. Yes. Still they are Muslim. Learn from them.

I am no apologist for apartheid @BowNkambule, but the fact is that nationalists developed whole country and gave a proper working government to the ANC who probably plundered it. Learn the lesson: governments don’t create prosperity they either facilitate it a bit or get in the way which is more common. The secret of success is hard work, diligence, continual effort and a big slice of good luck. So off you go!

So it took the ANC 25 years to begin to recognise the KhoiSan people. They don’t seem black enough.

The Traditional and Khoi-San Leadership Act (TKLA) of 2019, in effect from April 2021, formally recognizes Khoi-San leadership, communities, and structures in South Africa, aiming to address historical lack of recognition. It establishes the Commission on Khoi-San Matters to evaluate applications for official status, though critics raise concerns regarding the requirement for self-identification and potential state co-option. 

Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA)

Key aspects of Khoi-San political recognition include:
•Legal Framework: The TKLA 2019 enables the recognition of Khoi-San kingships/queenships, councils, and leaders.
•Commission on Khoi-San Matters: Set up to investigate and recommend the recognition of leaders and communities.
•Struggles and Demands:Despite the Act, many Khoi-San groups still advocate for recognition as the "first nation," constitutional recognition of their languages, and land rights.
•Criticism: Some critics argue the Act forces a "top-down" approach, politicizes identity, and treats Khoi-San leaders differently than traditional African leaders.
•Ongoing Issues: Key debates surround the rejection of the "Coloured" identity label imposed during apartheid and the need for restitution of land dispossessed before 1913.

The Act provides a statutory mechanism for recognition but remains a subject of ongoing legal and social debate regarding self-determination and the depth of that recognition.

How pathetic that Iranian ally South Africa booted the top Israeli diplomat because of the crime of... <check notes> offering water tech and medical aid to underprivileged South Africans.

We know we're the good guys.

•Dingane and Piet Retief (1838): A prominent, though disputed, agreement was signed in February 1838 between Zulu King Dingane and Voortrekker leader Piet Retief. It ceded land between the Tugela River and Port St. Johns. Shortly after, Dingane reneged on the agreement, killing the delegation, which led to further conflict and the eventual establishment of the Natalia Republic.
•Swaziland/Mpumalanga Land: Agreements were made in the 1800s where the Swazi monarch reportedly granted the Voortrekkers land-use rights (often referred to as kuKhonta), which the Boers interpreted as permanent ownership.
•King Mswati Treaty (1846/1850s): King Mswati I signed a treaty with the Voortrekkers, granting them land bounded by the Olifants River in the north and the Crocodile and Elands River in the south, which included areas settled by the Pedi, Ndzundza Ndebele, and Sotho groups.

It would really do South Africans a great service if they would read the history since 1652. Firstly there were only about 840,000 people in the entire landmass which forms today’s country of South Africa. When travelling the country then, people were few and far between. The whites never encountered black people until they got to the Fish river. There were no black Africans (they are the descendants of those who are migrated from central Africa) in the Western Cape. There were two tribes there, the Khoi Khoi and the San. These people were nomadic and did not farm. So they needed vast areas to do their hunting, but they didn’t settle on one spot. Land was not an issue then and it is not an issue now. Only 4.4% of the entire South African landmass has been developed into buildings, roads, airports and the like. What you’re envious of is not an undeveloped hectare of land in the veld but the development that was made of and on the land, that is the farms, with the swaying heads of crops in the light morning breeze, the homes in prestigious residential areas, and the wealth producing office blocks and factories. I will let you into a well kept secret. People had to work for those things, and not only here in South Africa but in every successful economy in the world. As the old Coloured folk used to tell me, nothing is for nothing and very little is for sixpence. You will not believe the joy that you will get for achieving something on your own without anyone else’s help. It’s the best feeling in the world. Try it.

🚨Today exposed the chaos an MKP - EFF government would bring to KZN. Their attacks on the legislature threaten progress, stability, and service delivery.

The DA, as part of the stable GPU, will hold those responsible accountable and continue delivering for KZN.

Rhodes had nothing to do with the concept of capitalism. The concept was expounded by Adam Smith, a Scottish philosopher and economist, who said that “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.”
These wise words are the foundation of the free market which guarantees each individual the opportunity to succeed or fail by his or her own efforts and ingenuity. Even the poorest benefit from such a system as the rising tide of the economy lifts all ships. Socialism does indeed bring a measure of equal outcomes (except for the fat cat politicians who control the outcome) but is the equality of poverty, not wealth.

Joburg’s people will never give up on her, and I am one of them! It is a privilege to accept the nomination as mayoral candidate for this great city.

We will not let taps stay dry. We won’t accept brokenness. We will wrestle Jozi back from a criminal mafia.

The remarkable story of Mimie Jacobs, an award-winning farm owner from the Free State, who survived a gruesome farm attack, is another reminder of the importance of my fight to have these brutal acts declared a priority crime. Farmers are the lifeline of our nation.

This is one of the most disgusting things I have read in the last months of genocide (and I have developed quite a nerve).

If Germany were a decent country, this 'journalist' career would be over today and so would be any respect towards his persona.

In a sane world, when a civilian is kidnapped from a music festival and reappears nearly two years later, starved, abused, and filmed digging his own grave, people care.

So where is the Red Cross?
Where is the UN?
Where are the human rights activists?

Do your job.
