One of the 10 commandments of being a South African is "you don't go where you're not wanted"
You only had to tell my girl once to not come and she said "Bet"
Tom Holland, Zendaya and Jon Bernthal bout to be in 2 films thats gonna gross a billion
And Zendaya still has Dune 3 on the way, I know their agents just fainted at their commission fee
SARS takes up to 45% of what we earn, then we pay 15% VAT on almost everything we buy. Inflation eats whatever we manage to save, municipal rates & levies come for the property we already own, and fuel levies are waiting every time we fill up. At this point South Africans aren’t citizens, we’re shareholders with no dividends
I don’t think people fully understand what’s happening in South Africa.
The Madlanga Commission is exposing difficult truths.
People are marching and demanding accountability.
Leaders like Dr. Nasiphi Moya are busy trying to turn municipalities around instead of making excuses.
Despite all the noise, South Africa keeps moving.
This is exactly why we must fight for this country.
Not because it’s perfect.
Because it’s ours.
The future of South Africa won’t be decided by those who complain the loudest.
It will be built by those who choose to fix it.
My leader @Constitution_94,
I took this screenshot hoping to use it in the next few years as I had a feeling it might be needed. But it seems like its need came to quick.
Do you want to comment before I continue?
What this means in simple terms
If a foreign couple has a baby in South Africa, the baby’s birth must be registered even if the parents are undocumented or overstayed their visas. The child must be issued a birth certificate recording the facts of their birth that can lately be used to register their children in their countries.
What it does not mean:
-It does not make the child a South African citizen.
-It does not give the parents legal status or permanent residence.
-It does not stop Home Affairs from deporting parents who are in the country unlawfully.
The judge specifically emphasized that birth registration does not automatically confer South African citizenship.
They didn't just give our brother a BMW, they also added an extra R30,000 reward for his troubles!What started with humiliation has truly ended in jollification
What a beautiful turnaround for our brother
This one is really dicey.
FIFA is registered as a non-profit association under Swiss law. Its 211 member associations own it. It pays no corporate tax in Switzerland. And right now, while the ink is barely dry on the 2026 World Cup final, it is in advanced discussions to sell a minority stake in its commercial operations to private investors, with JP Morgan acting as financial adviser and Thrive Capital, whose chief executive is Josh Kushner, expected to lead the investor group.
UEFA is responding. And I see reason with them. Their statement called it a crossing of a line and said the soul and governance of football are not assets to trade.
Let me explain what is actually happening here and why both positions are legally and commercially coherent at the same time.
The legal vehicle at the centre of this is called FIFA Forward Enterprise, or FFE. It is a FIFA-owned company that would consolidate all of FIFA's commercial rights, broadcasting, sponsorship, ticketing, licensing, and the operational delivery of FIFA tournaments, into a single entity.
Based on how things are proposed, FIFA would retain majority control and exclusive authority over governance, competitions, the match calendar, and all regulatory and sporting decisions.
Private investors would then hold a minority, non-controlling stake in the subsidiary, not in FIFA itself. FIFA says the proposal could deliver more than $10 billion in football development funding over the next four years.
Now here is the legal position.
Under Swiss association law, FIFA has broad autonomy over how it manages and commercialises its assets, provided it pursues its statutory purpose of promoting football and follows its internal decision-making rules.
Creating a commercial subsidiary and selling minority stakes in it to private investors is not categorically prohibited under any applicable law. FIFA already commercialises its rights aggressively through sponsorships, media deals, and licensing arrangements worth billions of dollars per cycle.
Placing some of that commercial activity into a valued vehicle and inviting outside capital is structurally an extension of what FIFA already does, not a departure from it. The proposal requires approval from the FIFA Council and the 211 member associations. That approval process is where the real legal constraints sit, not in Swiss corporate law.
What UEFA is objecting to is not the legality of the structure. They are objecting to the incentive architecture it creates once private capital is inside the tent. And again, that objection deserves to be taken seriously.
Even with formal majority control retained, private investors seeking returns will create ongoing pressure. They will request more matches, an expanded calendar. They will make decisions that prioritise revenue over player welfare or competitive balance.
Of course that pressure will not arrive through a boardroom vote. It arrives gradually, through the logic of what a return on investment requires. FIFA can retain exclusive authority over sporting decisions and still find that sporting decisions are shaped by the financial expectations of its commercial partners. Those are not mutually exclusive outcomes.
The legal permissibility of this structure is high if internal approvals are obtained. The binding constraints are member consent, political capital, and the risk that private capital incentives gradually reshape priorities even under retained formal control.
Football has watched that process play out at club level for thirty years. The question being asked right now, with genuine urgency, is whether the same dynamic should be allowed inside the institution that governs the game itself.

To everyone saying, “Think about the students.” The students have been paying their rent every month. So where did the money for electricity go? If those same students defaulted on one month’s rent, the owners wouldn’t hesitate to evict them. Why should accountability only apply to tenants and not property owners? Don’t let sympathy distract you from who is actually responsible.
The oppressor always plants an agent like Ngizwe in all struggles that they have no control over in SA.
In #FeesMustFall they gave those SASCO-WITS girls goverment positions that they still hold to this day.
During the #DataMustFall online movement, T-Bo Touch appointed himself as a leader and suddenly emerged with a MTN funded independent radio station that flopped.
Now they have Ngizwe Mchunu attempting to dilute our anger by selling out in the fight against illegal immigration.
Typical.
Thank you everyone 💙🇨🇻🙏
I’ve been trying to reply to as many messages as I can… I think I need a break now, this migraine is real 😅
I’m truly grateful for the love, the support, and everything.
I’m honored 🌟
