Two decades of BEE in mining. What do we have to show for it?

Fewer mines open. Fewer jobs. More red tape. BEE helped shut the door on investment that creates jobs.

SA has the mines, the minerals, and the people. Support the #MiningBill and put them to work: https://t.co/FNRG7vOi23

@Markosonke1 @Julius_S_Malema Pity he is a two-faced liar and hypocrite who lives a life of luxury with no explanation of how he accumulated such wealth. Malema is a charlatan and an elitist. Never worked a day in his life. Just an extractor and perpetual victim.

@LCabonena Except old, stale KFC chips at some point had value. At no point has Zuma ever been of value. He is and has always been a useless, corrupt, uneducated parasite, elected by brainless idiots. He belongs in jail, forgotten and ignored. #voetsekzuma #voetsekMK #voetsekANC

“Give us jobs.”

I hear it everywhere I go. Instead of making empty promises to people, I tell the truth about how jobs are created.

Jobs aren’t handed out by politicians. They’re created when you have a government that attracts investment and builds infrastructure that works.

@ewnupdates Grossly overpaid politicians living at taxpayer expense. This BS has to STOP. A provincial premier is a low level civil servant and should be paid a clerical salary. No way they should afford overseas trips. #voetsekANC #voetsekBEE #voetsekNDR @PresidencyZA @Lesufi @MYANC

It's official.
The son of the soil has become the first trillionare in history.
Yet, Starlink is not allowed to operate in South Africa, because @elonmusk refuses to take the knee.

Elon Musk becomes a Trillionaire & creates 4400 new $ Millionaires.

Meanwhile, businesses are closing daily in South Africa under ANC rule.

[Sunflower @Sunflow24522496]

The Special Investigating Unit has probed cases where land reform funds were diverted to luxury cars or kickbacks.
This hypocrisy is glaring: the same leaders accusing whites of theft have sat on unused government land (millions of hectares) for 32 years without distributing it.

@PhumlaniMMajozi @SimplyMegszcpt Is there something intrinsic in Black Africans that mediocrity is the norm and meritocracy is foreign. How else do you explain the litter, the filth, the decay, service delivery collapse, corruption, lawlessness, tolerance of incompetence and indifference by civil servants?

[Zille for Mayor @HelenZille4Jozi]

A ‘no vote’ is still a vote. A vote for Joburg to continue down this path of destruction.

Where are we heading?

According to Athol's research, South Africa lost 345,000 jobs in the first quarter of 2026, an average of 115,000 jobs every month or 5,750 jobs every working day.

Behind every statistic is a family, a home, and a future placed under strain.

The question is no longer whether we face a crisis, but who can turn the tide.

Who can save South Africa from complete collapse?

Only God.

"Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labour in vain." Psalm 127:1

[Slaughter. @BafanaSurprise]

Here is something concerning, for the World to know about South Africa.

In South Africa’s Government of National Unity (GNU), many ministers predominantly from the ANC were appointed with strong emphasis on Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) criteria, which prioritizes race over merit in public sector roles, tenders, and leadership. Cabinet ministers earn approximately R2.7–2.8 million per year (around R225,000+ monthly, plus benefits, housing, security, and vehicles), following recent 3.8% increases. Deputy ministers earn over R2.2 million. This is taxpayer-funded at a time when the economy struggles with low growth, high unemployment (especially youth), and service delivery failures

🇿🇦 Read and weep... its about time the truth starts coming out...‼️

"I am a contractor and I worked at the Medupi Power Station. I wish to add a few comments...

"The working staff get the last day of each month off as well as half the previous day for pay day.

"General workers arrive between eight and nine and start working on the new substations by ten.

"Lunch starts at about 11:30 and finishes about 14:00
They leave at about 15:30

"These are the general workers pulling in new cables, moving panels etc.

"So very little real work gets done because of the short working hours.

"I was working in a substation. The air conditioning system was not working because the controller is the wrong type. It has taken four months to find a replacement. It was 40 degrees in the substation

"The two main chimneys at Medupi have been built facing the wrong direction. They are 180 degrees the wrong way round. This means the pipework will all have to be changed. The efficiency of the blowers will be affected as the pipework is incorrect.

"The management of staff is a mess. The staff sit and look at you if you ask them to do anything. They know that if they don’t like what you are asking, they can on strike and they have done it. So nobody messes with them.

"The engineer who signed off the building of the chimneys the wrong way round has disappeared. There was insufficient management oversight. The wrong air conditioning unit in the substation was also due to lack of management.

LUNCH

"Apparently the “kitchen” or food contract is run by the local ANC mayor or leader.

The workers are guaranteed a hot lunch every day.

There is a central kitchen and mess.

"Thus a worker who is an hour away from the kitchen, is transported in a little bus. His lunch hour only starts when he picks up the plate to be served.

"So an hour lunch break lasts 2 or 3 hours in some sections.

"When the workforce was on strike the lunch providers were paid full value – not just the profit section even though they were not supplying any meals.

"The lunch contract has come up for review many times and every time the same person is awarded the contract despite better or other bids."

Now this is just lunch.... Imagine the rest ?

[Farai Mazhindu @FaraiMazhindu]

A boy from Pretoria, South Africa, has become the world's first trillionaire, but with an American citizenship and an American portfolio.

His success is a mirror that reflects South Africa's absolute failure.

Elon Musk's historic milestone proves that wealth, progress, and monumental breakthroughs are created through merit, relentless innovation, and visionary execution.

They are not created through bureaucratic gatekeeping, red tape, and ideological obsession. South African politicians hate him because his mere existence exposes their profound failure to build anything of lasting value.

Elon Musk's story is the absolute opposite of the South African story.

Had the environment allowed it, he could have built SpaceX in South Africa. Decades ago, the country possessed a first world military space and missile infrastructure.

Instead of being nurtured into a global commercial aerospace hub, it was dismantled and collapsed under decades of ANC mismanagement, state capture, and political patronage.

We cannot even talk about Elon Musk freely investing his billions back into South Africa. Despite being born in Pretoria, race based economic policies and restrictive BEE ownership mandates have historically locked out global builders who refuse to bend to political dictation.

The South African story has become a tragic tale of what could have been, tainted by toxic governance, race politics, and destructive economics.

Exactly. These ANC fat cats preach cost of living crisis from their mansions, armed convoys and state-funded luxury while the rest of us are poorer than in 2007. They broke the country and feel zero pain. Pure parasitic elite.
