Dr Dodo explaining how IMF loans crippled Zimbabwe

Yet, same @MYANC went ahead and signed us up for failure.

IMF imposes neoliberal policies of privatization and austerity.

That’s why they told you to hate Jacob Zuma. You fell for it

[Agent Nala @MainlandAfrica]

Summary of Dr Thandi Dodo Sidzumo-Mazibuko interview (1986)

1. Any forms and levels of material aid from foreign donors must be limited to what African people themselves have requested.

2. Aid terms and conditions must comme from the people. Communities must determine their most pressing needs and only then can well meaning aid givers come to the party.

3. Most agencies are interested in getting quick results while overlooking the human element in development projects. When you work with human beings you cannot operate in technical and systematic cold fashion.

4. We must look into who creates hunger and who sustains that hunger, the national and International forces with a negative impact on different communities.

5. Assistance must be given on our own terms, we must determine that kind of help we need.

6. Before participating in a community development project, we must first understand that community's perceptions of its needs.

7. On the basis of the community's description of its needs we can use our communication and technical expertise only for the purposes of complementing existing capabilities.

8. We must be clear that development highlights a community's struggle to develop itself. Development is community participation in breaking away from all kinds of dependency, economically or otherwise to attain self reliance. The role of the expert is to increase capability of the focus group.

9. Education is divided between education for LIBERATION and education for DOMINATION. In the case of the latter, self proclaimed development experts like IMF are divorced from the realities of communities where thy they impose their aid programmes. The communities are always left poor ,disempowered and more prone to continued domination.

10. The role of tbe researcher is to provide social analysis, make people aware that when a certain area or community is underdeveloped it is not always because the community members are lazy. Due to historical colonization of Africa by Europe, the question of monocultures has been created
such as in Senegal where people were forced to produce rubber while they were experiencing a problem of hunger.

11. There are national forces and international forces that impact lives. International forces like IMF and World Bank impose themselves on governments and enforce anti-development loan or aid conditions. Loans from IMF and World Bank must be rejected as they are not meant to support the livelihoods of our people especially the poorer classes.

12. Researchers have a duty to bring this information to communities so that they develop an understanding of the machinations of different forces with regards to development, how the world functions,and how that affects our situation.

13. Researchers must present data to communities, allow those communities to evaluate the data and give their input so that they don't become objects of research. That is the only effective way of mobilizing for the material and intellectual development of people. Anything else opposite to that will render the researcher an agent of imperialism.

14. The structural cause of hunger in Africa is land pressure which is a product of white colonizers taking all the productive arable land and pushing our people to the dry reserves. Colonizers did not come with civilization, even when you go to the most remote of areas where people have to access to modern sources of agriculture information, in their own rudimentary ways the people know about the differences in soil types and their suitability for certain kinds of crops. The view that Africans don't understand their land is an ugly lie.

15. The role of the researcher is to compliment existing knowledge and share information on organisations that control our lives such as IMF and World Bank.

16. There must be a balance between monetary inputs and communication inputs bearing in mind that in all development projects, our people must attain intellectual development too.

17. Part of the struggle for social and economic justice is say NO to any forms of outside dominance.

@shufflesdu by the way, are you on the Stella tweet asking for feedback?

Are we not doing something about access to funds?
Are we not bribing it to the fore?

Please my Friend. Assomblief!

[Dr. Adv. Lower Working Class MomDad - a Guluvakazi @Lephutshe]

@shufflesdu ‘When you are done chasing away immigrants ‘ was unnecessary

Do Native business people have a problem with accessing funding from the state? Absolutely
Do YOU feel it’s not getting enough attention? Definitely and I also feel the same

How can we get this issue attention?

South Korea passed a supplementary budget to support its citizens against high fuel prices.

South Africa via its central banks increase rates to make its citizens even more poorer.

Without intellectual pretence by SA educated, none of the nonsense would happen. Qha simuncu!

@NolwAzi_Tusini The tweet you RTed asks why an illegal foreigner given bail. Does that make sense to you?
The accused is facing charges in court but they are undocumented. What do you think will happen after they get bail?

[Dr. Adv. Lower Working Class MomDad - a Guluvakazi @Lephutshe]

@NolwAzi_Tusini naturalised/dual citizenship MPs

yes! it’s a valid question. how can a citizen of another country be a Member of Parliament in another country? We want to know how many MPs have dual citizenship. We want to understand their ideological standing.

What’s wrong with that?

@LuyaBrownie Nigeria citizens who feel tired of being away from home must firstly admit that their fellow citizens are fraudsters and have damaged their reputation.
Then admit that their country has forsaken them.
Then decide what to do with the points above

[Christopher Maduewesi @Xtopherewesi]

More than 400 Nigerian "Journalists" applied for accreditation to cover the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow - at least 85% were rejected.

After receiving an unprecedented number of requests from Nigeria, the media team of the LOC handed out an initial 26 approvals, then circled back to the Nigerian Olympic Committee (NOC), to help identify who are legitimate Nigerian journalists.

If we are being honest , there's no way over 400 people who applied for accreditation are all journalists.

Even if they are journalists, there's no way the LOC would approve half of those numbers from one country.

Let's get to it, we have an antecedent. At the last Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, over "700 journalists" applied for accreditation. While a lot of them got approved to cover it, this would lead to future problems, because their subsequent actions "collapsed the bridge for those coming after."

Four years ago, the Commonwealth Games LOC helped directly with visas. There were no payments for visa; what all approved Journos needed to do, was go to the UK consulate and capture their biometrics.

So you know what happened? A lot of people carried along their families or friends who weren't journalists. This is why the number ballooned to over 700. People bearing the same surnames registered as journalists working for the same media company.

Then, some of these people got to Birmingham, and never returned to Nigeria. Some who did, overstayed their visas.

Four years later, the number dropped down to around 450 applications. But from experience, they already know that most of these people aren't really journalists. This led to a spate of rejections. Also, no more visa assistance this time around. You will have to pay and do it yourself.

Nigeria carried its 'anyhowness' to the Commonwealth Games, and now, legitimate journalists are paying the price.

The Glasgow media LOC sent the Nigerian list back to Nigeria, identifying those issued, and those not given, telling Nigeria to advise them on legitimate journalists who should get. Then they approved more from the initial 26 given. Even the Nigerian Sports Commission (NSC) had to be directly involved with vetting the list.

I learnt that almost 30 people applied from one digital TV station in Lagos. If we are to tell ourselves the truth, there's no media outfit in Nigeria, that sends more than 5 staff to cover an international sports championship.

Nigerians are the ones soiling the country's reputation with some of these acts. We really need to fix ourselves and our country.

Hundreds of protesters storm UN building and demand an end to illegal immigration in Libya.

The protesters also demanded the closure of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) building in Tripoli.

The protesters were chanting "Libya for Libyans".

None.

What happens at an NGO? Administration. A South African with a matric certificate can do that task.
