I’m never watching abafana play again. They do well when I don’t watch 🤣 I know what position I play on this fan team. I must just not watch and I must shut up for good luck.

11 thoughts I had while spending the day in Soweto for #June16.

1. I love Joburg so damn much
2. What's with all the litter?
3. I had no idea goats eat... Litter.
4. I feel MUCH safer cycling here in than in Joburg's fancier areas.
5. Again. What's with the litter?
6. That's the tenth 'Vote for DA' poster I've seen. No other party.
7. I just realised I'm the only non-african black person on this ride and everyone has made me feel so welcome.
8. The young people running this cycling club (Girls on Bikes and Bandits) should honestly just be running the country. The level of organisation, care and vibe is elite.
9. That's the third horse-drawn cart I've seen carrying a mattress. Are the mattresses for passengers or is everyone moving beds today?
10. Look at all these white people in the shisa nyama. We've come so far as a country.
11. I love this country so damn much.

Quite a thing to traverse the streets 50 years after that iconic march. Happy #YouthDay everyone! 🇿🇦

Our national anthem is mainly a prayer, which ascends as the chords progress. She had to respect the sacredness of the Xhosa & Sotho parts.

The loudest parts of the anthem are somewhat more of a war cry (Afrikaans and English).

Okay, we lost a game?

Sharp.

We go again!

Tyla’s rendition of the South African National Anthem at the FIFA World Cup Opening Match was a master class in music theory, performance as well as musicology 🎤🇿🇦

A THREAD 🧵

[Thuli Madonsela Foundation @ThumaFoundation]

The 1976 Soweto Uprising was ignited specifically by the imposition of Afrikaans as a medium of instruction in Black schools, a linguistic act of domination that denied students both comprehension and cultural dignity. The constitutional response, forty years later, was extraordinary: South Africa became one of the few nations on earth to enshrine 11 official languages in its founding document. This was not administrative policy it was a philosophical statement that no language, and therefore no people, would again be subordinated by the state. Linguistic pluralism, written into constitutional architecture, remains one of the most direct lines between the demands of 1976 and the democracy that followed.

When people say that the University of Johannesburg has achieved a certain ranking, reputation, or growth "in just 21 years," I get so mad. This statement can be misleading if it ignores the substantial assets inherited from the merger
UJ did not start from scratch in 2005, but inherited
Campuses, buildings, laboratories, libraries, and residences from Rand Afrikaans University, Technikon Witwatersrand, and Vista University.
Thousands of academic staff, researchers, and support personnel.
Existing research output, academic traditions, and alumni networks.
Established programmes and institutional expertise.
RAU already had a strong research culture before 2005, while Technikon Witwatersrand had a long history of vocational and technological education. UJ was therefore built on foundations that had been developing for decades.

This is something I agonize about. We have a problem of lawlessness. People treat the law as an inconvenience. The prevailing moral order treats law abiders as fools (dibhari). We are not accountable to each other. Littering, skipping robots, stop signs, public urination

with the extreme weather in the western cape right now, if you have R75 to spare, please consider donating towards the “buy a bed” initiative by haven. R75 can give a homeless person access to a shelter for 5 days 🙏🏾 https://t.co/WnWzA5iyU0
