Tariffs in JHB are increasing from July 1. After this 30 June stuff, can we all organise a new protest where we don’t allow this. Already R250 electricity is basically 0 units. We’re being charged to pay for services we barely receive.
Elon Musk hates SA because he’s a white supremacist and doesn’t like that SA is under majority control. Of course he doesn’t want to help the poor, even European countries are halting Starlink and India, because it’s not what he advertises it to be, never was.
Elon Musk has never done anything to help rural South Africans. He actively dismantled programs that were doing so. Of course Starlink was never about helping anyone other than himself
What kinda take is this? Luke and Jace are half Targaryen at least. Joffrey and Tomen are 100% Lannisters. L&J are literal sons of the declared heir to the throne and would be Queen, J&T are sons of kings guard and queen by marriage, not the same thing
Unpopular opinion, but we should enable Cabo Verde to join the European Union in the long run.
They are a Portuguese speaking, christian country with a pluralistic democracy.
Their most important partners are the U.S. and the EU - something which is rare in Africa.
Because of several navigation routes crossing the islands Cabo Verde is of the utmost strategic importance.
They are the perfect political bridge between Europe, Africa and South America.
Due to its small size and non existing borders, the risk of a membership is low.
We need it. And we should invite them before they’re pivoting towards China.
Public schools then were essentially private schools, only whites and white allies (Asians) attended and the select few blacks (Cyrils and Motsepes of SA). Public schools today bear the brunt of the majority population. Not saying you’re incorrect just contextualising your point
One of the weirdest things about these African leaders and the so-called "Black middle-class" is that they never bother to ask themselves why is it that Johann Rupert is a second generation billionaire who inherited his fathers wealth yet him and his siblings went to PUBLIC schools - the boys went to Afrikaans PUBLIC schools, the girls went to Afrikaans public schools.
Doesn't it bother these African leaders that they have not BUILT one PUBLIC school of that calibre in over 30 years?
It doesn't worry them that Anton Rupert and Errol Musk took their children to PUBLIC schools ran by the same government they are running today ?
The Islamophobia is wrong and should not be tolerated but you must also understand that 80% of the countries that have Islam as the most popular religion, are war ridden with Islamic militants. People are correct to worry but spewing hate isn’t the way.
@RenaldoGouws@IvoVegter Definitely not the bullshit before where one group was catered for at the expense of another. Mistreated, killed, gene modification, assassinations by gov, hit squads (Vlakplaas), segregation, eco exclusion, exploitation, murders unaccounted for, etc. missing apartheid are ya?
Yes, this is literally lobbying.
The whole world is getting Starlink, with the island of South Africa being one of a few exceptions. This kind of response to a bizarre situation is not unexpected or particularly problematic.
The response by the commentariat, however...
[Must Watch] The Department of Public Works and Infrastructure, working with the Limpopo Provincial Government, has, in record time, constructed a temporary repatriation centre near the Beitbridge Border Post in Musina to assist the thousands of migrants leaving the country.
What was just bush on Sunday morning has now been transformed into a facility that will assist the Department of Home Affairs and the Border Management Authority in processing migrants leaving South Africa safely and in an orderly manner.
The centre’s completion shows the excellence that exists within the Department, and we are proud to play our role in upholding the rule of law in the country. #LetsBuildSA 💙🇿🇦
@Jackie_babeee@DNutz67931 “Intuition” what is it this time, false clairvoyance or self sabotage due to low self esteem so you expect the worst from everyone because you yourself don’t believe you’re worthy of anything good. Anyone who accuses someone of something before they do it, just insecure.
