@KFCSA Your Jane Furse branch has a serious problem! Waiting over an hour for FAST FOOD?!?? And it’s always like this, we’re even tired of complaining. Fix it seriously
Let us retire this romantic fiction called "African unity." Africa is not a single hearth! it is 54 distinct nations, each with its own flag, its own ledger, its own grudges, and its own survival calculus. We speak of brotherhood, yet when Donald Trump aimed his full-throated tirade at South Africa calling us names, threatening our land reform, questioning our sovereignty where was this vaunted continent? Not a single president issued a joint statement. Not one foreign minister summoned an ambassador. Silence. Absolute, deafening silence.
We pour millions into Ebola containment in the DRC. Our scientists and doctors risk their lives in jungle clinics while the world looks away. Do we hear applause from Abuja? Do we see troops from Nairobi? Do we receive vaccines from Cairo? No. We are thanked only by the absence of criticism which is not solidarity; it is indifference.
We bankroll the African Union generous contributions, peacekeeping levies, infrastructure funds yet when South Africa bleeds, when our currency trembles under external pressure, when our policies are ridiculed on global stages, where are the AU communiqués? Where are the emergency sessions? Where are the counter-statements from our fellow 53?
Let us be honest! every country acts in its own interest. That is not betrayal; that is statecraft. But then let us stop performing pan-African martyrdom. Let us stop begging for a seat at a table that vanishes the moment we need it.
South Africa must defend South Africa. We must fund our own science, secure our own borders, and build our own alliances bilaterally, pragmatically, without waiting for a continental chorus that never comes. Unity is beautiful when it serves. But it is not a lifeline. It never has been.
He defeated the colonizers three times until he was finally subdued with the help of the Swatis, who are form part of the larger Bapedi Clan today: the Marishane, Kgopola, Masemola, Maphutha, etc.
Mampuru fled to Rossenekal with his people and was accommodated by Ndebele king called Nyabela Mahlangu. This is help form relations/ alliance between the Bapedi & Ndebeles.

Same not just how they sound but the deeper meaning attached to them. Even the greetings are filled with so much meaning. For example; when you greet back you’d say: “Agona molato nkebe le kwele. Nkebe le bone ka tente le mushi o tuka”. Sepedi sebotse honestly.
