@r00vee1 @CAF_Online You emailed them ? 🤣
I can’t stress myself that much. They will reveal their plan when they are ready

If the men's AFCON had zero ticket or visa info this close to kickoff, it would be an international crisis.
For #WAFCON2026? Total silence! 🤫

@FansTribeHQ @toxalways Actually, not less O2 in the air. it's lower air pressure. The air is less "crowded" at 2,200m, less O2 gets into the lungs and blood with every single breath.
In turn the body panics: the lungs pump faster and the heart races just to keep the muscles moving

Result = Fatigue!

It's most definitely not payback. It's empowering a systemically oppressed group of people which btw is 92.7% of the total population, per the 2022 census

Let me use an example

I went to university with a white girl that bemoaned BEE

She didn't get into her preferred university, but still had the finances to fund her way into her second choice uni and is now a practising lawyer. Same end result.

Likely, her place at the first choice university went to a student with similar marks but qualified for BEE

The point is, her family's history of economic advantage due to the advantages gained as a result of racist apartheid laws meant that even though she was so-called maligned by BEE, she was able to achieve tertiary education and her end goal career with zero delay. Without any numbers to back it up, I'm willing to bet this is the case for most white students who were forced to re-evaluate.

Most people of colour in this country in my generation are born into families whose parents and grandparents have little to no formal education because they were, by law, denied the opportunity to study. While her and my parents were able to go to good schools and then university during apartheid they were subjected to Bantu Education:

"Bantu Education was a segregationist educational system implemented in South Africa by the Apartheid government through the Bantu Education Act of 1953. Designed to enforce white supremacy, it enforced separate, inferior schooling for Black students to prepare them only for manual labor and subservient roles."

Sure, not all white people in this country are rich but the point is that even poor white people in this country have infinitely more resources, be it access to generationally superior education, family members with resources they can depend on. Elon's family profited during apartheid and he's now mega rich, while men of colour his age are, on the whole, impoverished.

My family wasn't rich when I was a kid. Still aren't. But, my university educated mother, despite raising us alone, was able to become a teacher and send five children to private schools and then qualify for university bursaries and scholarships. I didn't but a family friend paid for my studies. We are all now successful in our own rights. My older brother is a film director, my older sister works for Big 3 accounting firm.

I can assure you, the inconvenience of having to look for second choice avenues into uni etc are incomparable to the damage done to millions of families as a result of decades of segregation and slavery.

[Michael Mongie @MikeMongie]

I'm a white South African and I have literally zero problems with BEE. But hey, what would a white man (Elon) that benefitted from a wealthy upbringing during apartheid know about it?

Calling BEE anti-white is anti-intellectual. You're just unhappy that you can't get your starlink empire to expand to a country you happily left. Good riddance too

@tpakty_ @YomiKristal @Musajabata @kamaal_1717 @moemudi01 There is H in the Yoruba alphabets
Ahon? (tongue) Ohun? (voice) Ehana? (beast)

However “Šade” is the traditional Yoruba spelling while “Shade” is the anglicised or phonetic version because there is no Š sound in the English alphabets.

@official_esclub Being a “legend” doesn’t make every opinion gospel and football analysis isn’t a monarchy where one voice wears the crown.
Fans watch, study, debate, and they have every right to challenge views they think miss the mark. They respect the career but they can question the analysis

@EzeTalksSports @robertmarawa The outrage over Qatar hosting the WC was deafening. Lectures, boycotts, moral grandstanding. Now the US hosts and even bans a qualified team “for their own safety” and suddenly the critics have swallowed their whistles. Hypocrisy travels 1st class @GNev2

Quartz-dust plants are regulated.

If silica exposure occurs unchecked, it’s a regulatory failure under the Factories Act.
