@rickyvhuyssteen@DadaMorero@MyJRA Wherever was it said that renaming the street will lead to better service delivery? Places are renamed so that the majority of the citizens of this country, can also feel at home here.
The funniest part is he just stood there, thought about it for a second, and actually agreed to the terms. So now we have an appointment booked for Tuesday to swab a bunch of toddlers' mouths, which is going to be a complete logistical nightmare, all just to prove he owes me an apology I won't even stick around to hear.
Anyway, I'm stuck in the waiting room right now aimlessly scrolling through timelines. I'll update you guys ASAP when results drop.
Today I touched down in Florida as a refugee — on South Africa’s Freedom Day of all days. A day meant to celebrate liberation became the day I finally stepped into my own.
Leaving the country of my birth was not easy. It was painful, heartbreaking, and symbolic. I walked away from a place I loved deeply, but where daily life had become a struggle for safety, dignity, and opportunity.
As the plane lifted off, I felt the weight of years of frustration, fear, and disappointment. I left behind a system that had stopped serving its people, a government that had forgotten the meaning of freedom, and a reality where hope was becoming harder to hold onto.
And then I arrived here — in the United States — and for the first time in a long time, I felt possibility again. I felt welcome. I felt safe. I felt human.
The kindness I’ve received, the respect, the sense of order and opportunity… it’s overwhelming in the best way. I am deeply grateful to the American people for opening their doors and giving me the chance to rebuild my life with dignity.
Today, on a day that South Africa calls Freedom Day, I found my freedom in America.
A new chapter begins — and I will honor it with hard work, gratitude, and hope. @RynoJvVuuren@POTUS
South Africa’s government screams: 'No genocide! No marginalization of white farmers!'
But when Trump offered them safe refuge and fast-track US citizenship, they lost their minds.
If it's really 'not happening,' why fight so hard to stop them from leaving?
They push BEE race quotas, 'mother tongue' policies, and land grabs to 'fix past injustices' capping white males at just 4% in many sectors. Yet they don't want these 'persecuted' whites to go.
Make it make sense: Either admit the marginalization is real... or let them leave in peace.
That would actually solve your 'past injustices' build your own infrastructure and schools instead of seizing the only functional Afrikaner ones and forcing us out.
Zimbabwe did the same under Mugabe (despite early white cabinet members). It destroyed their farms and economy. The USA isn't fooled.
Bunch of clowns. Pick one.

@IRR_SouthAfrica White South Africab woman here - race is irrelevant at this point as I have not seen a white man or woman suitable to be the ZAR president in many many years. Actually, not ever.
Interesting fact about South Africa
You will never ever meet a white South African, liberal, woke or conservative that has not been directly impacted by a horrific crime committed against them or their family
Hey @PieterDuToit, considering the wall to wall coverage of Bozell do you not find it problematic how the Iranian Ambassador is speaking to South African citizens?
Or is this acceptable according to @News24?
BREAKING: South African farmers and rural communities are asking the government to approve Starlink. In many remote areas, there is no internet at all.
Starlink is not allowed to operate in South Africa because Elon Musk is not Black.
Let the games begin.
US ambassador‑designate Leo Brent Bozell III has arrived in South Africa. He is expected to present his credentials to President Cyril Ramaphosa before officially beginning his diplomatic duties in Pretoria
Real South Africans welcome you, Ambassador @BrentBozell. 🇺🇸 You may be the subject of a lot of noise, but I assure you, it's noise that is irrelevant.
At least try to use the terms "Third word country" and "First world country" in the correct context. It us really embarrassing when old white people, with their "superior" white education, cannot differentiate between political terms and economic terms.
All it took was Thirty Years for South Africa to go from First World to Third
The nation that once mastered the atom and aimed toward the stars now struggles to keep the lights on and the taps running
Such are the natural wages of putting equity first and excellence last, the inevitable legacy of Mandela
