@uncleian_01 @khayadlanga The same goes for other races in SA. Therefore?

South Africa fought very hard for the AU to be a member of the G20. The United States of America has decided to exclude South Africa from participating at the G20 summit that will take place in Miami. What is your reaction as a continental body? Where is the solidarity? @_AfricanUnion

Even if this video is played at the African Union Assembly or any African nation’s assembly, most African leaders and politicians—especially in the useless AU—won’t learn from it. They are in love with imperialists.

I have a small big rant.

First off. So good to see so many South Africans taking a stand against @Starlink and @elonmusk.

You call the majority of the people who make this country, who happen to be Black, genocidal savages, less than human. You lie about South Africa repeatedly, with the greatest contempt and hatred. And then you expect us to pressure our government to do business with you? You are drunk on your own mythology. You are drunk on the delusion that Apartheid South Africa still has power over us, and you can exert it will lies, bullying and, LOL, tweets.

And that Department must stop irritating us by running around like “Yes Baas. Yes Bawana. Yes Master.” Scrambling to please a man who has shown himself to be untrustworthy and perfectly willing to compromise our data sovereignty and national security, all for a vanity connectivity project that solves none of the communications and IT structural problems the department should be focusing on.

Now, I have a special space in my heart for that portfolio. Deep, deep. But I silenced myself. I gave space. I gave grace. I gave fairness and trust. That goodwill is gone. Not an inch more will be given.

Fix spectrum.
Fix digital migration.
Fix high data prices.
Fix your SOEs.
Protect South Africans online.

That is your mandate. Not billionaire appeasement. Not jackass whispering.

Aniyeke ukus’bangela uk’shisha ngo Starlink. And yes, it IS about Starlink. And for other political reasons about the various GNU bases.

ENOUGH. Do your job.

@gailalfaratx I asked @Grok if he would trust Elon enough to make an exception for Starlink if he was South Africa's government.

[Rahul SA 🇿🇦 @Rahul_AJ_1990]

I don't think people fully grasp how dangerous Starlink is:

1. Elon can use it as a political tool. He's done so before, eg Ukraine, 2023.

2. Elon has made his views about South Africa clear: he pushes a racist, apartheid-perpetuating agenda. He will use the platform to this end, as he's done before.

3. Elon advocates the false narrative of "white genocide". Fact: He has used Grok to propagate this false narrative - u don't think he will use Starlink to do the same? Along with any other false propaganda he wishes to advance?

4. Surveillance: All your social media, phone calls, opinions will be garnered & used against u.

5. Elon is a billionaire, with a profit motive - this has nothing to do with some service he's "giving" to SA.

6. Starlink is not free. Currently, it's much more expensive than other providers.

7. Elon keeps lamenting about how bad SA is - if this is true, why does he want to do business here? It's about (a) money, (b) control, and (c) pushing a racist political agenda.

And this is why the DA instructed their boi to illicitly publish that gazette.

[Michael de Villiers @Mikedotcoza]

Apartheid was a violent legal system that stripped Black South Africans of citizenship, land, movement, education, and skilled work. Today’s redress policies are not “anti-white laws.” Equating the two is historically illiterate, morally bankrupt, and deliberately dishonest.

❤️ When I was touring in ASIA, a young lady asked me 'WHAT'S ONE THING YOU WISH SOMEONE HAD TOLD YOU 10 YEARS AGO?' .. I said:

"The people you admire aren't as smart as you think they are."

I used to look at successful founders, CEOs, and investors like they possessed some secret intelligence I lacked.

I'd read their interviews, study their strategies, convinced there was a god-given, innate, genetic cognitive gap I needed to bridge!

Then I started meeting them, interviewing them, spending time with them and doing business with them and my mind completely changed.
🤯 Here's what I discovered:

Success isn't about being the smartest person - so much of the controllable element of success is about being really really persistent and hoping that your timing is right.

And if it's not right this time - which it probably won't be on first go, trying again without a loss in self-belief and tenacity.

All of the "smarts" you think you need will be acquired by doing this, repeatedly.

The difference between professionally successful people and everyone else doesn't appear to be IQ - if anything it's just their willingness to look silly in public, to face temporary embarrassment in front of people they care about and to fail several times in a row.

The smartest thing successful people do?
They surround themselves with smarter people.

The truth is, you're probably smarter than you think.
And most definitely smart enough to start.

What holds so many people back isn't intelligence,
It's the false belief about how much intelligence they need! ❤️👍🏾

Maturing is seeing someone’s lack of effort as their lack of interest in you regardless of what they say.

[SizweLo @SizweLo]

They keep lying to us that there are three arms of the state, when in fact, there are only two: The public sector and the private sector.

The whole “three arms of the state” of the legislature, executive, and judiciary is just a political theory concept and not necessarily a description of who actually wields power.

This gets messier when you realise that those two sectors are deeply entangled:

Politicians need massive amounts of money to win elections. That money comes from large donors. The result is that policies often reflect the priorities of those funders, not the public.

Then there’s that whole thing of politicians and senior bureaucrats like former Ministers and Directors-General leaving office and taking high-paying jobs in industries they once regulated.

Then you find executives from big corporations getting appointed to government roles where they oversee policy affecting their former employers. The outcome is that regulation is often written by the people it’s meant to regulate.

There’s also the small matter of major media outlets being owned by a small number of corporate conglomerates.

Here, public narratives are shaped to maintain faith in the system while burying stories that threaten chosen elite interests. This results in the public’s understanding of power being curated by corporations.

In this sense, the “three arms” model is just a high school civics class myth that ignores the real economic power structure.

In fact, if you follow this idea to its logical conclusion, you could even argue there’s effectively one blended ruling class of political and corporate elites, and the rest is just theatre to keep us believing in separation and accountability.
