Translation: “the news Checkpoint is pushing doesn’t suit the narrative and propaganda I am used to the media pushing and I don’t like that.” 😂😂

10 years ago, I learned in a Development Communication class that if a government sacrifices human/capital development on the altar of infrastructural development, the infrastructure will suffer in the hands of the people.

Ten years later, the theory still works.

ANC keeps promising service delivery and jobs, those things will never happen in this economy and infrastructure.

It's impossible to deliver services without massive public infrastructure.

It's impossible to absorb millions into decent jobs without building industries

[ENGINEER MOKWELE AND MANUFACTURED NARRATIVES]

A young former BMW engineer with highly specialised qualifications, arrested on charges that she was unqualified and prosecuted for “future” state capture.

The @Eskom_SA coal fleet was declared “old and unfixable”, its decline framed as structural, its previous leadership defended in advance as inheritors of a problem no management could solve.

In a diverse society like South Africa, associations too often do the work that evidence should. That’s how manufactured narratives take hold.

The Madlanga Commission has now vindicated Engineer Mokwele.

The end of load shedding has debunked the fairytales about “old and unfixable” coal plants

When the same media manufactures narratives without evidence, and repeats the pattern across unrelated stories, it is no longer an error. It is method.

Under apartheid our parents were becoming nurses, teachers and skilled professionals in their 20s. By 25, many were buying homes, raising families and building their futures.

Today, we have 30- and 40-year-olds struggling to find jobs, afford homes and survive on a R350 grant.

We were promised a better life. Instead, too many are still waiting for the “better tomorrow.”

The question is simple: What happened to the future we were promised? 🇿🇦

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In my prayers, I often remember the Democratic Republic of the Congo, especially in light of the spread of the Ebola epidemic, which is sadly claiming many lives. I encourage on the part of the international community a response that also involves local communities in efforts of prevention, so that many human lives may be saved.

Prasa workers are facing retrenchment. Lets be honest, Ramaphosa's economy is terrible.

No country stress God like South Africa 😭

[Nthanda Manduwi 🌍🤍 @NthandaManduwi]

Hurts me to say this: Africa will not be saved by entrepreneurship. We cannot vibecode ourselves into the 4th industrial revolution. We still need to industrialize. To achieve this, we need stronger and better public institutions. We need extremely competent leaders at the helm.

[Tim Duy @TimDuy]

This is rich. Tech guys telling everyone that they won’t have jobs in 6 months and will need to live on government handouts and then complain their kids don’t see a future for themselves.

[Tamara Winter @tamarawinter]

I’m fascinated by the auto/biographies of great Asian founders for a v particular reason: they often double as histories of their countries’ economic development.

Chung Ju-yung’s autobiography might be my favorite so far (also cool bc I knew nothing about Hyundai). Highly recommend.

[Goddess Graveyard Punany✨ @xm_muva]

My daddy worked in the Middle East in the 80s & he scoffed when I first started learning about Palestine; he agreed Israel was an apartheid state but stood firmly that the entire region was vehemently anti black, he worked with displaced Palestinians - he told me prioritize Africans. I don't know the details as he never shared but I always kept this in the back of my head. Today has been interesting on here
To say the least.

[Ismail (Ish) Aderonmu @LegalishCA]

Eman Mabrouk calls anti-Blackness in Arab society “the Jim Crow Arab edition,” challenging Arabs who speak about Gaza while remaining silent about the oppression of Black women. ���The call is coming from inside the house,” she says. “The culture of denial and silence allows anti-Blackness to continue.”

[jolly @julian_nieva]

Funny enough, Raekwon came to Canada and started a bullshit label. They came and exploited every grant available lol walked away with a buncha government money.

[Onion Cider @abbietayo]

There’s a TikTok side called ‘Shagala’ you will be left bewildered.

[コパネ さん @pbnkopane]

@politicaleconZA Not for nothing but sometimes you come off sounding like some overseer… Like damn Blacks aren’t even allowed to sojourn to anywhere not deemed “progressive” by the likes of you.

[Lateef 🙃 @LateefSaka]

In this current climate you can’t make me believe that outlets such as the BBC are not attempting to add fuel to the rubbish we are currently seeing online.

Do they normally report on the heritage of students?

global fertility is now below the replacement rate for the first time ever.
