What hurts the youth the most is that they did everything their parents advised them to do and are yet to reap the benefits.
Imagine going to school and staying out of trouble your entire life only to be at the mercy of a struggling economy.
Hai no guys, I’m going back to school. I’ll suffer for the next 6-7 years. This can’t be my life. I don’t want to be 40, earning peanuts and working like a slave.
You allowed this to happen for too long. From taxi drivers deciding that e-hailing drivers, friends and relatives could not transport people, to this. Videos of non-state actors "enforcing" their jungle law on South African streets have been circulating for so long. These actors were proud of their "law enforcement" and actually recorded it. You and your government were spectators. It is a sign that you were absent or too scared to face the backlash should you act against South Africans breaking the law. It doesn't matter how valid grievances are, NO STATE should quietly watch a parallel state emerge, with non-state actors deciding who belongs snd who doesn't, who must live or die. Your government, led by you, did that.
South Africa and Mexico's game at the 2026 FIFA World Cup is projected to have 1.1 billion live viewers, which will make it the most watched opening game in history.
Mercy is when you can't even explain how you're surviving, but you are. You don't have it all figured out, but each day, God sends help right when you need it. Hallelujah.
Did you know it’s completely ILLEGAL for tuckshops to charge an extra "Speedpoint fee" (R2–R10) to swipe your card, or add extra fees on airtime? 💳
Section 23 of the CPA & banking rules state the shelf price MUST be the price at the till. Surcharging is strictly forbidden.
This widespread trend is a massive regulatory failure—the NCC and banks are asleep at the wheel while consumers get exploited daily by lawless pricing.
Fight back:
1️⃣ Demand the displayed price.
2️⃣ Snap a photo of illegal fee signs.
3️⃣ Report them to the machine provider (Yoco, Flash, or bank) or the Consumer Ombud (CGSO: [email protected]).
Know your rights. Retweet to stop the exploitation! 📢🇿🇦
