South Africans have started a dance challenge to a song criticizing them over the anti-migrant protests in the country.

[REBEL @rebelreloaded]

We are not Africa’s enemy. If anything, many African countries can learn from the resilience of South Africans. Every one of us should hold our own governments accountable and fight for the betterment of our respective countries and the continent as a whole. Fleeing your country is not the answer. It never has been, and it never will be.

Time travel is indeed real. She used it to get her hands on AI and went back to the past, thinking we wouldn't notice because it happened more than 200 years ago. 😭

[chimera⚕️ @nitrotheegod]

I genuinely am so worried about the clear signs of AI in writing now. I’m reading Jane Austen and I am in shock.

[Nokulunga Sithebe 🇿🇦 @Nokulunga_Sit]

I want to look exactly like this. 😘

After the 1976 Soweto uprising did apartheid end immediately?

Why does time drag the most when we’re waiting for it to speed up?

[Nokulunga Sithebe 🇿🇦 @Nokulunga_Sit]

Dreams can be delayed, but your comeback is what defines you. Don't worry about being behind. With the right strategy, you can always close the gap. The difficult season is coming to an end. Keep going. You are closer than you think. 💛

There is no roadmap for this life. Even when you do everything accordingly, you might still fail or fall far from your intended destination. It’s a disheartening thought, yet it’s part of the human experience. 🧿

Indian People from Asia continent are South Africans but Lesotho and Zimbabwe born in South Africans are not South Africans 😂😂😂😂😂😂

You people are literally after skin colours not foreigners.

[mzansi fo sho 🇿🇦 @palesaaaaaaaaaa]

Hear me out.

I am honestly not offended when they say South African men have "soft features" because it also works in our own favour at the end of the day. I feel complimented.

In many cultures globally, when a daughter heavily resembles her father, there is a fear that she might look "too masculine" if the father has hyper-rugged, angular, or harsh features that are associated with stereotypical masculinity.

But in South Africa, the polar opposite happens and I remember our people having this chat last year about the lower facial sexual dimorphism that is common in our populations. The advantage is that men in our part of the continent naturally carry these balanced, softer facial traits, and their features translate flawlessly into female genetics.

SA men have softer features? Okay, but it explains why so many of our beautiful women look their fathers due to the harmony of our region's androgynous genes.

[Musa Ronalds @MusaaRonalds]

Let me be direct, you sit comfortably in the UK, sipping tea, while your people at home choke under dictatorship and incompetent leadership. You are a useless African. Yes, I said it. Because you have the platform, the education, the diaspora privilege and you use it to lobby for South Africa to absorb your failures, rather than to demand accountability from your own presidents.

African countries are sitting on trillions in minerals cobalt, gold, lithium, oil. Enough wealth to build hospitals, schools, and railways. Yet your leaders fly private jets, park millions in Dubai, and you say nothing. You march for Palestine, you tweet for BLM, but when your own head of state steals the national budget, you are silent. That is not solidarity. That is cowardice dressed as activism.

And now you come to South Africa, demanding we open our borders, our schools, our clinics while your own governments deport their own citizens without a whisper. You expect us to be a continent's charity while you refuse to be your own country's conscience.

Let me ask you🤔 how do you let another man enter your home illegally, abuse your wife, terrorise your children and you watch? That is what you are asking South Africans to do. To stand aside while criminal syndicates, illegal foreigners, and economic migrants overrun our communities, and we are supposed to smile? Nonsense.

We are not your safety net. We are not your escape plan. We are a sovereign nation with our own poor, our own unemployed youth, our own collapsing infrastructure. We have every right to secure our borders without your permission, without your approval, and without your performative outrage.

People should Go home. Fix their own houses. Hold their own leaders accountable. Stop demanding that South Africa pay for your leaders' failures. That is not pan-Africanism. That is parasitism. And we are done hosting it. Nonsense!!!!!!

[Michelle 💜 Mystique @michelle_mystiq]

South Africa will eventually have to draw the line somewhere.

If African governments say they don’t have the resources to even repatriate their own citizens, then the real question is: what is their long-term plan for those people once they are back home?

If a state cannot fund transport for a few thousand people today, how does it expect to provide jobs, housing, healthcare, and basic services tomorrow so those same people don’t end up returning to South Africa out of necessity?

South Africa cannot indefinitely absorb the consequences of governance failures elsewhere in the name of ubuntu or regional solidarity. At some point responsibility has to sit where it belongs: with the governments of those countries.

We need to start being honest about how we have normalised bad leadership, incompetence and corruption on the African continent, and how South Africa has had to bear the brunt of poorly governed nations for decades now.

But at some point, South Africa will also have to stop playing the role of enabler.

Being able to keep it together and not fall apart when things get tough is the ultimate win. 🥺🫶🏾

After a fall, it is up to you to pick yourself up. You may need time on the dusty ground to heal & that is okay. The most important thing is that you eventually decide to stand up, show up & start again. ✨
