Why are there no quotas for minorities in football and only quotas for majorities in cricket and rugby

Where is the call for representation when the team is all black

[Neo 🜲 @YSB23X]

Majority of white people are South African when the Springboks play, but when it's World Cup season, they suddenly remember their Dutch, French and German ancestry.

Just an observation, I'm not trying to be controversial, but then again some habits die hard!

[Paul @pgdurban]

Lazy incompetent and still having a commission of enquiry to name the program

[sandile swana @sandileswana]

Afrikaners by 1948 were still grappling with the Poor White Problem , which was mainly a White Afrikaner problem. By 1988 they had resolved the problem. My question is why are black people in 32 years not able to get black schools in Mthatha to compete with any white school or WSU/ United to compete effectively with UP or UFS etc.

Why did Afrikaners have they confidence to build schools , universities and people who could outco.pete the English abd we cannot? What is the problem exactly?

[Paul @pgdurban]

And what has changed - the lazy don’t work so other do the job

[Siphumelele Zondi @SZondi]

When the Khoe wouldn’t work for the Dutch in the Cape, they were branded as “lazy” & slaves were brought from Asia & elsewhere in Africa. When the Zulu wouldn’t work for the British in Natal, indentured labourers were brought in from India. This is all important to know today.

A city is funded by ratepayers who are required to use the funds for the ratepayers

We are not a communist state that must look after everyone

Cities look after ratepayers or become Jhb’s slums

[Irfaan Mangera 🍉🇿🇦 @IrfaanMangera]

Which people?
A city that can't house its own people is an uncaring one.

[Paul @pgdurban]

Not everyone needs a matric and not everyone needs a degree - we have too many graduates with no common sense and so are unemployed

[Gen Jean-Jacques Dessalines @MxolisiBob]

Gareth, the last time you were at Tukkies without matric.

Did you eventually pass matric?

[Paul @pgdurban]

Well if you need to ask that question you should not be investing

[MPUMI THE SOUTH AFRICAN @MPUMIMLAMBO_]

@News24 @shufflesdu @grok what does this mean for someone who has TFG stocks ?

[Paul @pgdurban]

Treasury has been told of the concerns of the cheep imports unregulated and untaxed

Unthinking Politicians: The private sector will create jobs.

The Private Sector:

[Paul @pgdurban]

Boring monotone and unenthusiastic but those who have been bulshitted by the ANC still believe he can make up his mind without an inquiry or commission

[Wandile Sihlobo @WandileSihlobo]

A very powerful speech by the President on issues of immigration this evening. 🇿🇦

[Paul @pgdurban]

Well it is only black racist that want to send black immigrants home and so I guess your child is living in a racist home

[Nkululeko Mhlaba @NkululekoMhlaba]

I was called to a Parent-Teacher meeting this week because my Grade 1 son asked: “If immigrants must go back home, are white people going to Europe and Indians to India?” He somehow offended half his class 😅

[Paul @pgdurban]

And what is stopping you and the other unemployed blacks going to do that - you want a state hand out - they just get on and operate because they are entrepreneurs and not just followers

[Kganki Chávez Mphahlele 🇿🇦 @Absolute_Kganki]

You can’t leave your country to come to South Africa to be an @Uber or Bolt driver, to be a barber, a street vendor or own a spaza shop. Those aren’t critical skills and they should be reserved for South Africans, especially the unskilled or uneducated citizens. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[Paul @pgdurban]

And how many actually pay for the joy of electricity

[khanki @TboozeSA]

Yet before 1994, less than 37% of Black South African households had access to electricity. Almost all white households had electricity. Rural settings accounted for approximately 12%. Now we're at 88%. Rural households account for roughly 60%. They had the means to give us electricity. They just didn’t want to.

[Paul @pgdurban]

Yes because in a genocide population is wiped out - 2/3 of the Jews of Europe were murdered - the population of Gaza increased and I only saw fat people walking around - so there was no genocide in Gaza and yes your lies will be shown up

[Aidan Simardone @AidanSimardone]

It's a myth Germans didn't know the Holocaust was happening. They may have not known the details, but they knew Jews were being sent to their death

Likewise, decades from now you'll hear people say that Israelis "didn't know" about the genocide in Gaza. That is also a lie

[Paul @pgdurban]

Not true - there are borders - there are separate countries

[Typical African @Joe__Bassey]

He said nothing but the absolute truth.

[Paul @pgdurban]

Next thing you will say is that you won the revolution

[Mansa Mayi @MTshwete]

I think we need to be honest about Ghandis legacy in South Africa

[Paul @pgdurban]

Actually most South Africans want to have good service and don’t care who does the work as long as price is fair and service is good

[Gcobani Ndzongana @gndzongana]

An ordinary South African is not preoccupied with his fellow African migrants. Ordinary South Africans want to reserve general labour for poor South Africans, force businesses to employ 90% locals and 10% foreign nationals, punish businesses that hire more immigrants than South Africans, include the poor and working class in South Africa's economy, subsidise entrepreneurship, and invest in youth development, industrialisation, and science, technology, and innovation. No ordinary South African will chase poor African migrants; the guilty parties are the South African ruling elite, businesses, the political elite, and right-wing forces.

[Paul @pgdurban]

But you still show no sympathy for the 1200 Jews slaughtered by Hamas that actually started the war

[Derek Hanekom @Derek_Hanekom]

Bye-bye career, hello integrity and self-respect.

[Paul @pgdurban]

That requires lateral thought and looters can’t think they just destroy and don’t care about the consequences including the fact that in the end only big business wins

[In A Nutshell🥜 @Markosonke1]

TRUTH HURTS:📍🚨 Let's be honest for a second. Every time we see another shop being looted or forced to close in Durban, people act like those empty stores are opportunities waiting for locals to take over. But the reality is very different.

Most of us cannot afford the monthly rent on those premises, let alone the hundreds of thousands of rands needed to buy stock, pay workers, cover electricity, security, municipal fees, transport costs and supplier accounts.

It's easy to celebrate a shop closing until you realize replacing that business requires serious capital, business networks and cash flow that many ordinary South Africans simply don't have access to.

The result? Empty buildings, fewer jobs, less economic activity, reduced municipal revenue and entire areas slowly declining.

A closed shop doesn't automatically become a thriving local business. More often than not, it becomes another vacant space collecting dust.

Whether we like hearing it or not, destroying businesses doesn't create wealth. It destroys it.

That's the uncomfortable truth many people don't want to discuss.

[Paul @pgdurban]

When you are paid by Iran you are not paid to think - remember the ANC was insolvent - it could not pay salaries

[Mish @Mish_K_]

‼️REMINDER ‼️

@cyrilramaphosa was talking about genocide on the 14th of October 2023. 7 days after hamas slaughtered 1200 people. Now they have been given a 36 month extension at the ICJ.

[Let The Truth Ring Out @SayNoToTerror7]

Question: Which of these are genocides?

3% = Percent of populace of Gaza killed in the war

2.5% = Percent of populace of US killed in the civil war

4% = Percent of populace of Europe killed in WW2

33% = Percent of Muslim men in Srebrenica killed in 12 days

50-75% = Percent of Armenians in Turkey killed by the Young Turks

67% = Percent of European Jews killed by the Nazis

Do you get it now or do you need to call a friend for help?

[Paul @pgdurban]

Which black person has donated anything to the state - build something - create something - all you want is to steal and rename which is a form of stealing the credit for something you never did

[Sentletse 🇿🇦🇷🇺🇵🇸🇱🇧 @Sentletse]

Kruger National Park turns 100 and this is the opportune time to rename it.

We can’t still be honouring Afrikaner colonial thugs in 2026.
