We need to stop acting like having a good partner isn't an achievement
Do you know how hard it is to find a normal-behaving human in this generation??

Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day. Let that be a reason to keep going

@pptaruvinga1 I wouldn't know

[BrieflyBold ⚖️ @MapheMaps]

Women are often pressured to marry early because the older they get, the more they learn about men, relationships, and what they truly deserve. They become less willing to settle for less than they deserve, and some realize that marriage isn’t worth sacrificing their peace for...

[BrieflyBold ⚖️ @MapheMaps]

@pptaruvinga1 🤣🤣🤣No

[BrieflyBold ⚖️ @MapheMaps]

Men call women ‘sluts’ and ‘whores’ without any proof, but needs mountains of evidence to believe a man is a RAPIST. Misogyny is often accepted as fact, while accountability is treated as an accusation.

[Watetu 🇰🇪🇺🇸 @TetuGuy_]

@NjeriWaMigwi if i ask for the other side of the story I'll be called a misogynist

[BrieflyBold ⚖️ @MapheMaps]

@pptaruvinga1 One can only hope

[BrieflyBold ⚖️ @MapheMaps]

@pptaruvinga1 That would mean they're looking and I doubt they are

[BrieflyBold ⚖️ @MapheMaps]

@pptaruvinga1 I think a lot can still be done

[BrieflyBold ⚖️ @MapheMaps]

@pptaruvinga1 It is because of society. But the women that I'm around dont mind remaining single

@deptoflabour The bar for public statements from our leaders is on the floor. Teboho stop giving us rehearsed fluff and start giving us real concise statements that communicates directly to the public.

[BrieflyBold ⚖️ @MapheMaps]

You guys know we’re all just here to have fun, right? Why are you so committed to making this app an unpleasant place for other people? If you don’t like someone’s tweet scroll. The world will keep spinning, I promise.

@Sepetlele1 Sometimes I feel like maEFF have to compete everyday who can be dumber just so they can get CIC's attention. No way this is not deliberate

[Redi Tlhabi @RediTlhabi]

Many of us who grew up with a reverence for the ANC have mourned its demise. We were labeled " DA coconuts, clever blacks, counter revolutionaries " because those who wear ANC regalia believe they have legitimacy.

They ignored the umbilical chord that tied us to this party and the painful separation that HAD to happen because of its own conduct. The party chose itself and not "the people." They didn't ask WHY. So with that in mind, I respond to you.

My dear sister, what, exactly, is a “black party”? A party founded by black people? Led by black people? Supported by black voters? And what happens when its leaders steal from the people whose racial identity they share?

Does a black official who loots a public institution advance black power? Does a black politician who protects corruption become progressive by virtue of pigmentation? What liberation reaches a black household when money intended for its water, electricity, healthcare or education disappears?

A party that helped teach the world the meaning of non-racial liberation cannot respond to electoral rejection by dividing South Africans into racial camps and suggesting that black voters who choose differently are restoring colonial rule. If the ANC has abandoned its commitment to non-racialism, its leadership must tell us. PUBLICLY. And explain which conference authorised that departure.
Because history and documents say otherwise.

In 1955, the Congress of the People adopted the Freedom Charter, declaring that “South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white”.

Albert Luthuli addressed precisely this in his 1961 Nobel lecture. He explained that the liberation movement had consciously rejected the easy mobilisation of racial resentment, despite the brutality inflicted on black South Africans. He described its vision as “a nonracial, democratic South Africa”. The refusal to answer racial oppression with racial exclusion was a considered political choice.

Mandela expressed that commitment at Rivonia in 1964: “I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination.” Those words placed a moral limit on the exercise of power, including power exercised by black leaders.

The ANC translated principle into organisational decisions. At Morogoro in 1969, it opened membership to South Africans of all races, although the NEC remained restricted to Africans. At Kabwe in 1985, it removed that leadership restriction. Tambo subsequently described the opening of membership as “a giant leap forward towards the true nonracialism within the ANC”.

These were deliberate changes to who could belong and who could lead. So wena what are you saying here? And is this the party's position or are you all saying what you want, when you want?

The constitution adopted at the ANC’s 2022 conference retains non-racialism as part of the organisation’s defining character. Rule 3.4 commits it to combating racial, tribal and ethnic exclusivism or chauvinism. None of this requires silence about racism, white economic power or the enduring distribution of deprivation along racial lines.

The people harmed by corruption do not experience it less brutally because the person responsible looks like them. You invoke historical and dialectical materialism. This makes your argument especially vacuous. A serious materialist analysis would examine ownership, class interests, institutions, labour and the distribution of resources. Counting parties by the presumed race of their leaders tells us remarkably little about whose interests those parties actually serve.

Black citizens are entitled to withdraw support from a party that disappoints them. Their freedom includes the right to reject the ANC without being accused of betraying their people. You celebrate the political wisdom of black voters when they support you, then diagnose their ignorance when they leave?

You, @MYANC abandoned us. YOU have made us a laughing stock. Don't you dare preach to us about what we do next.

@TumiMoema Just learned something and will check it out

[BrieflyBold ⚖️ @MapheMaps]

I understand why consumers choose cheaper options, especially in a tough economy. But policymakers must also ensure a level playing field so local businesses aren't forced to compete against imports that may benefit from cost advantages local retailers simply don't have.

[La-Ndlovu @destiny_ndlovu]

Temu and SHEIN need to be banned in Africa. Their growing dominance is putting immense pressure on African retailers, local businesses and the retail economy. We cannot continue watching local businesses struggle while cheap imports flood our markets, threaten local industries and put jobs at risk.

[BrieflyBold ⚖️ @MapheMaps]

@TumiMoema Yes,outright ban comes with risks that could outweigh the benefits.But the concern is if local businesses keep losing market share while unemployment rises,doing nothing isn't sustainable either.The question is how to level the playing field without shooting ourselves in the foot

[BrieflyBold ⚖️ @MapheMaps]

@TumiMoema China didn't become an industrial giant by leaving its industries exposed to foreign dominance. It's ironic that we're told to embrace unrestricted competition while the countries winning that competition spent decades protecting and developing their own industries first.
