@DesireTablai @Martin_ASFL @Our_DA It was in 2017 or 2018 with the severe drought and resulting water restrictions.
I know - I still lived there.

@NadiaFerreira85 So they actually received R765 million.

@StephenX5 @MmusiMaimane Tomorrow? Didn't you mean an hour later?

@LLB_hard82389 @helenzille No it won't.
I don't like who they are, what they stand for, or what they support or regard as acceptable. Nor do I like the way they milk the deemed-to-haves in order to buy the "poor" vote.
The only thing they have going for them is a cleaner administration.

@carteblanchetv asking why more than half of 1.5 million housebreaking victims in 2025/26 never even reported it to the police. As if this is some great mystery that needs a Sunday night special.

It is not a mystery. South Africans stopped reporting because SAPS does nothing. They do not arrive. They do not investigate. They reclassify farm attacks as ordinary “house robberies” so the numbers look prettier for the ANC. Victims get a docket number and radio silence while the same gangs come back.

Look at what these housebreakings actually look like when they turn violent, which they do constantly.

Families tied up with fencing wire so tight their hands lose circulation for hours. Fathers shot through sliding doors while children watch. Farmers struck in the back of the head with pangas, then swung at in the face. Throats slit. Women raped in front of their own kids after already being shot. Elderly couples beaten with hammers and steel poles, gagged with tape, then left for dead. Fingers cut with sidecutters to force a safe open. Children held at gunpoint and told their father will be chopped up in front of them.

That is the reality behind the “1.5 million incidents.” More than half the households never bother calling because they already know the outcome; no arrest, no follow-up, and often the police treat victims as an afterthought, or are the perpetrators.

Carte Blanche wants to act shocked now. You people deleted your own 2017 report that tied Julius Malema and prison gangs to the slaughter of White farmers. You wiped the episode. Now you run stock photos of hooded gunmen and pretend you cannot figure out why people have lost faith.

Families are fortifying their homes like bunkers while the state looks the other way. This is not random crime. This is what happens when a government and its media partners refuse to name the pattern or protect the people.

The numbers are not abstract. They are bodies, blood, and families who will never feel safe in their own houses again. Stop asking “why” like you do not already know.

@RenaldoGouws Stop responding to this idiot. You are
1) giving him credibility
2) putting money in his pocket

@MathobLetha130 @Didilifestyle Stop talking rubbish. Most whites can't afford that either.

@JoBertrand19 Ridiculous.
I wish we could all boycott these rip-off prices. Let teams run out in front of an empty stadium.

@piperthesniper You should actually confront the school about them having these days celebrating depravity.

@SolidariDirk This policy ought to be made big news in the USA

[Pookie's Polls & Opinions @pookiepolls]

Amazon Web Services runs a South Africa programme that bars any firm with a white shareholder.

That is not a rumour. It is written into the eligibility rules.

The AWS Equity Equivalent Investment Programme, launched in 2019 as part of a R365 million commitment, is an 18-to-24-month accelerator for small software and cloud businesses.

Applicants must be 100% Black-owned under the ICT B-BBEE codes, hold a Level 1 certificate, and keep founder equity free of debt for the contract term. “Black people,” in this legal sense, means African, Coloured and Indian South African citizens.

A single white owner disqualifies the company. Amazon presents the scheme as diversity and inclusion. The rules do the opposite of what those words usually mean: they sort entrepreneurs by race and shut one group out.

The programme sits inside South Africa’s B-BBEE framework. Multinationals that will not sell local equity can instead fund approved “equity equivalent” projects and still score transformation points.

The policy has a history: it was designed after apartheid to widen ownership that the old order had closed. That history does not convert a racial gate into a non-racial one.

A rule that says “no whites” is still a racial rule, whether the target is a majority or a minority, whether the motive is redress or preference.

If racial discrimination is wrong when it keeps Black South Africans out of a market, it is wrong when it keeps White South Africans out of a market. The colour of the person excluded does not change the nature of the act. A company can train, fund and mentor anyone without first checking the race of every shareholder. Choosing not to do that is a choice, not a law of nature.

Diversity that requires racial purity of ownership is exclusion with better branding. Inclusion that stops at the colour line is not inclusion. The principle is simple and it does not bend with the politics of the moment: people should not be locked out of opportunity because of their race.

That holds when the excluded group is Black. It holds when the excluded group is White.

It holds when a global firm writes the rule and calls it progress.

@vrydenker Om te sê hy is swart is net onnoembaar omdat ons dit toelaat om te wees.
Dit irriteer my grensloos dat die media so polities-korrek gedienstig is:

@LLB_hard82389 You clearly have more faith in the judicial system than I do.
