Another excellent article by Andrew Kenny of the South African Institute of Race Relations (@IRR_SouthAfrica) on the current Woke trend in schools.
He was a teacher both in Cape Town and in England during the 1970s. He knows socialism when he sees it.

@SimplyMegszcpt So the Spaza shops, owned by foreigners, who have been selling poisoned snacks to our kids, are getting actually going to be rewarded with upgrades and support..R500 mill...what's the message here..keep on doing what you're doing?!
A group of bank robbers stormed a vault, rigging the building with explosives to ward off any interference. Armed to the teeth, they held their ground as police surrounded the bank. Negotiators urged caution, knowing that storming the building could lead to a deadly explosion and loss of innocent lives. Days passed, and supplies inside the bank began to dwindle. Slowly but surely, the robbers emerged, desperate and weak, no longer a threat. The police arrested them without a single life lost.
This scenario mirrors the current situation with the zama zamas in Stilfontein. The criminals are deeply entrenched, heavily armed, and their environment is rigged with dangers. Police should not rush in and risk lives unnecessarily. Patience, strategic containment, and waiting for their resources to deplete is the safest and most effective way to handle this threat. Lives, including those of our officers, must take precedence.
There are 1,182 Afrikaans schools in SA out of 22,511. They accommodate 880,000 learners out of 12.7 million.
Should these schools be forced to incorporate English as the main language, and hand over the language & admission decisions from the school governing body to the provincial education department?

Since 2020, north of 100 suspects and entities involved in a sprawling gold and tobacco transnational smuggling network have been referred for investigation and prosecution to the #Hawks and #NPA.
Not one arrest has since been made. https://t.co/Dqllsk6lwC
Tshwane’s new ANC-EFF-ASA coalition wants to review the @CityTshwane’s partnerships with community outfits/NGO. Partnerships, already subject to stringent regulation, to cut grass, fence parks, and take custodianship of public spaces. Bizarre, since a helping hand in better-off areas frees up city resources to spend in poorer areas. Maybe their calculation is that fewer partnerships = more tenders.
It is now 25 October 2024.
The principal of Pretoria High School for Girls has been suspended for 88 days.
No sign of the GDE’s investigative report into “a culture of racism” at the school.
(Good news is that the 90 day suspension period ends this weekend.)

Cyril, how can you justify expressing concern on social media about those affected by a war on another continent, when your own country, where you serve as President, is facing collapse and has experienced more murders since the ANC took power than the combined recorded civilian casualties in Iraq, Ukraine and the Gaza conflict?
@CyrilRamaphosa
🚰When the Western Cape was facing day zero, then Premier Helen Zille took decisive action. As taps run dry in Gauteng, Panyaza Lesufi says it's not his problem.
💧 It's time for accountable leadership! Sign the DA’s petition at https://t.co/MOHevYIHzC to demand action now.
Since the ANC came to power, they've incurred over R4 trillion of debt
The interest on this amounts to ~R200 billion a year. (Or about R22 Million a minute)
The collective amount of money that the ANC has spent since 1994 is over R30 Trillion
(The debt in 1994 ~ R210 Billion)
@GaytonMcK@SportArtsCultur As a civil servant, using taxpayers' money, more moderate accommodation and transport should be used.
This is insane and wasteful expenditure.
South Africa had a thriving clothing industry, employing hundreds of thousands of people. Most of the factories were in the rural areas. People were paid a lower rate than in a CBD area. COSATU affiliated clothing union SACTWU went to these factories and demanded they pay the same rate as CBD areas. It made no sense for the clothing manufacturers then to manufacture in outlying areas and instead they moved production to Lesotho and Eswatini and created tens of thousands of jobs there. The staff who worked in those factories pleaded with the union to allow the factories to remain open, because half a loaf of bread is better than no bread at all. The union had none of it. All the factories closed down. Till today the ladies in those rural areas are unemployed factories lying empty.
TODAY THE VERY SAME COSATU IS MARCHING FOR JOBS. Absolute joke. Take them seriously at your own peril. COSATU IS A DESTROYER OF JOBS
