South Africans:"Deport illegal immigrants"

Government :"we don't have budget "

South Africas:"ok we will"

Government:"I have 600 million to stop you"

People's enemy number one will always be the Government

people think it's a joke when i say you can literally sell a woman something she already got, has no plan/use for and depending on how packaged it is, she might buy a pair and some extras, praise the "aesthetic," and post it for validation

from bikinis vs. underwear to leggings rebranded as "athleisure" distinct from footless tights, crop tops sold as bold fashion when they're just cropped sports bras, scrunchies vs. hair ties, skorts vs. tennis skirts... i mean, i can go on and on.

and now we have a new business where she leaves her bed with more than 3 pillows to go to a retreat and punches fresh pillows completely similar to the ones she left at home.

put a price tag on this shite and watch what happens to instagram stories and tiktok in the next few months

Africans only unite when it's about South African issues but they don't talk about this, bloody hypocrites🚮

In 1993, this photo of Belgian soldiers roasting a Somali boy alive went viral.

The soldiers were in Mogadishu as part of a 5,000-strong UN-led "peacekeeping" mission codenamed Operation Restore Hope in Somalia.

The image shocked the world.

What happened in November 1997, was even more shocking — A Belgian court acquitted the two soldiers.

Everyone says getting your licence costs R5,000.

That's not a law. That's a habit.

This is the official Gauteng Roads and Transport price list. Government set. Government enforced.

Learner's application: R108
Learner's issue: R60
Driving licence application: R228
Driving licence issue: R228

Total: R624.

That's what your licence actually costs.

The thousands people spend go to driving school. And driving school is not a legal requirement. It never was.

The K53 manual covers
everything in your learner's test.

It costs around R150 at CNA or Exclusive Books. You can buy it, study it, and book your learner's test directly at your local DLTC.

Once you pass, any person with a valid licence can sit with you legally while you practice on public roads. A parent. A sibling. A friend. Free.

When you're ready, book your driving test. Pay R228. Pass. Pay R228 for the card.

Done.

Driving lessons are genuinely useful. A good instructor sharpens your skills and raises your pass rate. But they were always a shortcut, not a requirement.

R624 is what government charges.

R5,000 is what the market sells.

Knowing the difference could save you thousands before you even start driving.

Your licence is affordable. The fear around it is what costs you.

By 1995 the first people to be arrested on a crack cocaine charges in South Africa were Nigerian individuals, just 1 year after our official independence.

By 2002 the Institute of Security studies reported that Nigerians dominated the cocaine/crack cocaine market in South Africa.

2024/25 ENACT reported that Nigerians dominated the South African underworld entirely.

Your yahoo boys, such as the Black Axe gang, are all over South Africa, to the point where Interpole and the US Navy had to come personally to arrest leaders in Cape Town.

You guys steal South African Identities, leaving South Africans undocumented, for example Chidima and her entire family.

You hijack building, yes entire buildings, in our CBDs and use them as drug dens and places to sell prostitutes

You people came to a nation with young, vulnerable and traumatised individuals that had come out of one the worst atrocities and fed us poison, prostitution and scammed us of whatever you could and continue to do so.

You are poison, literally might be the worst so called “humans” on earth.

@BafanaBafana We'll accept a draw but next game we must push

[Musa Ronalds @MusaaRonalds]

Let us pose a question that demands an answer. Now that Europe has passed a bill to deport and reject asylum seekers, will African countries Ghana, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, and the rest boycott European companies the way they boycotted South Africa? Will they call for sanctions against France, the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands? Will they march against TotalEnergies, Unilever, Shell, and Barclays? Will they flood Twitter with hashtags condemning European "xenophobia"?

Because here is the truth, European companies are everywhere across Africa extracting oil in Nigeria, mining gold in Ghana, drilling gas in Mozambique, building dams in Ethiopia. They pay little tax, repatriate vast profits, and leave behind environmental destruction and labour exploitation. Yet not a single African government has threatened to expel them. Not one activist has called for a boycott of French perfumes or British banks.

But when South Africa a fellow African nation dares to enforce its borders, suddenly we are the villains. Suddenly we are xenophobic. Suddenly we are betraying the continent. Meanwhile, Europe is deporting Africans en masse. The EU just voted 418-218 to make deportations easier. Patriots chanted "send them back." And Africa? Silence.

Why is South Africa held to a higher standard than Europe? Why are we the only country expected to absorb the world's failures while every other nation secures its borders without apology? Why do African leaders rush to criticise us but refuse to criticise the very European nations that exploit them daily?

We are not the enemy. We are not the coloniser. We are not the exploiter. We are a sovereign nation with our own poor, our own unemployed youth, our own collapsing infrastructure. If you will not boycott Europe for deporting your people, do not boycott us for securing our home. The hypocrisy is deafening. And we are done pretending otherwise.

[Martin @martvibes]

@BafanaBafana Mxm where's the 40yrs experience that useless coach was talking about?

[VT @VusiThembekwayo]

Reflection: I took years off the South Africans' current affairs cycle.

I felt that the conversation was NOT moving. And I felt I couldn't add anything beyond what I had already contributed.

It was the same conversations, same talking points, same slogans, same vacuous posturing, same empty pledges & chronic never-to-be-followed-up
commitments.

I remember saying to one of the execs in my team, “South Africa became diseased with sameness.”

During that time, we built our international business to be multiple times the size of our SA base.

We built a bigger business in less than half the time with multinational clients & client states that want to get things done.
Sure, they talk. All clients meet, confer, and talk. But after that, they actually MOVE! Stuff gets done!

Since dialling back into the SA discourse over the past few months, I have been sad to realise that South Africa is still talking about the same thing she was talking about 8 years ago.

The needle hasn't moved at all.

And worse, the macros have only become worse.
Much worse.

You can't blame any legacy issue for this. We are living with the consequences of unmitigated & gross negligence.

In my lifetime, I have watched my generations become youth, and live out their youth & eventually no longer classified as youth, still crying out for the same things: more opportunities to better their lives.

Only those that scream loud enough and break enough things are heard, so they are quickly co-opted with some “opportunities” or “board seats” and suddenly silenced.

This is how the system is engineered: If you're silent, you may starve. If you scream, you get co-opted.

But the truth is, the majority were, and many still are, left outside the system.

An entire generation lost.
The country's Overton window is fast closing.

And the only thing our leaders can offer is sampled below.

[James Ducker @TelegraphDucker]

It gets worse for Iran. Winger Mehdi Torabi’s visa to the US expired following his entry to the country on Sunday ahead of the New Zealand game.

While multiple entry visas were issued for the Iran players to travel to the US, Torabi’s visa was valid for only one entry. 

It means the Tractor winger will be unavailable for Iran’s next two group games against Belgium and Egypt and will have to remain behind at the team’s camp in Tijuana - unless he obtains a new visa.

A spokesperson for the Iranian Football Federation said action had been “to obtain a new visa for Torabi so that he can continue to accompany the national team in its upcoming matches”

[Khoisan_Dudu🇿🇦🍉🇨🇩✊🏽 @SothoDudu]

So now you understand the feeling of being expected to suddenly come up with money for something you never planned or budgeted for. You can't even raise a once off fund to assist with the repatriation of your own citizens, yet South Africans are expected to somehow find the resources year after year to accommodate the costs associated with large numbers of illegal aliens. Then, when taxpayers question the strain on public services and finances, they're branded xenophobic. Financial realities suddenly become important when the bill lands on your doorstep, but when South Africans raise the same concerns, they're told to stop complaining and carry on paying.
