We seal envelopes not because the letter contains a conspiracy, but because the contents belong exclusively to the sender and the receiver.
The "nothing to hide" argument is pure corporate/state propaganda. Privacy isn't about hiding a crime; it's about deciding who gets access to your life. It’s a boundary of power, not a shield for guilt.
Sixty -60" is not a job. It’s survival with a uniform.
Mr @HermanMashaba let’s call it what it is.
A delivery scooter is not employment. It’s the gig economy.
No UIF. No medical aid. No pension. No paid leave.
No protection when you fall, when you crash, when you get robbed.
Just you, your bike, and an app that can switch you off anytime.
We cannot celebrate "job creation" when the job creates poverty.
If a man works 12 hours a day but still can’t afford to get sick, that is not dignity.
That is exploitation with better branding.
South Africans deserve real jobs with real rights. Not gigs disguised as opportunity.

The smartphone really revolutionized the waiting room. Oh I get 20 minutes to look at my phone? Don’t mind if I do. The only problem is sometimes when I’m looking at my phone at home my home starts to feel like a waiting room and I realize it is and I’m just waiting to die
Look carefully at these pictures.
On 30 June there will be no march to the mansions.
There will be no march to the luxury estates.
There will be no march to the golf courses.
There will be no march to the beachfront suburbs.
Migrants — documented or undocumented — living in those wealthy suburbs have nothing to fear.
Nobody will be knocking on their gates.
Nobody will be dragging them from their homes.
Nobody will be demanding to see their papers.
The rich will sleep peacefully on 29 June.
They will sleep peacefully on 30 June.
And they will wake up on 1 July exactly as they did before.
But in the townships and informal settlements there will be fear.
The targets will not be the rich.
The targets will be the poorest of the poor.
The migrant living in a shack.
The refugee running a spaza shop.
The domestic worker.
The gardener.
The security guard.
The construction worker.
The unemployed young person trying to survive.
And when it is all over:
No jobs will have been created.
No factory will have reopened.
No mine will have reopened.
No pothole will have been repaired.
No school still using pit toilets will have been fixed.
No hospital will have been repaired.
No clinic will have received more nurses.
No municipality will suddenly work.
No family will escape poverty.
No inequality will disappear.
The rich will remain rich.
The poor will remain poor.
And once again, the victims will be people living in shacks while those living behind high walls, electric fences and private security watch from a safe distance.
The anger is real.
The unemployment is real.
The poverty is real.
The inequality is real.
But the targets are wrong.
The poor are being mobilised against the poor while the real causes of the crisis remain untouched.
They MUST be held accountable. This time, we need to see convictions for people who foment hate & division. Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma is on record calling migrants an existential threat ("we are being wiped out") and referring to migration as an infestation (pests = fumigation)
One thing about the so called patriots, you disagree with them they start calling you a foreigner. Bakubize kwerekwere…
You suddenly become a Nigerian just because you bring a different view to the discussion?? Hot Mic, they forgot the Mic is still on 😩😩… Why do they resort to name calling when you disagree or oppose their view??
The kindest thing literature does is remind you that your peculiar little feelings have always existed. Someone, in some century, was equally confused by love, bored by society, tired of performing, and hungry for meaning.
there's a michelle obama quote i can literally never find about how she went into a room with "the experts" and immediately was like, okay, where's the real room with the actual experts. these people are not smart
Rich kids being able to do art for a living may be a reflection of their privilege but it seems to me like a reflection of the fact that a human that doesn't have to worry about money will often choose art. everyone is an artist until rent is due. i wish we all had that right
When Dr @MbuyiseniNdlozi was spitting this TRUTH people still did not understand and kept voting for ANC/DA/IFP in numbers. Poverty, unemployment has worsen, they are decampaigning EFF and want EFF to resolve their problems.Oppenheimers blood money idiots
I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:
"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."
Black women on Depo Provera for more than a year, please be aware of the risk of cancer and brain tumours! This UK lawsuit is happening in tandem with a US lawsuit and many Black women use this contraceptive.
Tell a Black woman!
