South Africa longs for the day for a Sports Minister who knows about sport and will tackle corruption and maladministration! And talks less!

More job losses under the anc communist regime.

@ZOLEKV_Q @Newzroom405 Why would he do that? Fear? Chest pains?

White farmers in South Africa are being hunted like animals by killers armed and protected by the SAPS themselves. This isn't "disinformation," it's straight-up treasonous corruption from the rotten police force actively involved in murdering White farmers.

In just the first 40 days of 2018 there were 41 brutal farm attacks and 5 murders on White farms. Being a White farmer there is one of the deadliest jobs on earth, with a murder rate of 145 per 100,000, the same as the corrupt cops "protecting" them.

That unqualified disaster Riah Phiyega, the National Police Commissioner who was a social worker shoved into the job along with a teacher deputy and preacher strategist, got her marching orders; protect Zuma and his cronies, not ordinary White citizens. She got suspended on full pay after dodging questions about 7,000 unsolved crime dockets conveniently closed in the Free State. Pathetic.

A SAPS Sergeant spilled it all, "We have arrested serving members of the police during house robberies. Police weapons have been used in the attacks, not just personal guns, but rifles signed out from the station." Police ammo turning up in farm attacks. Evidence "lost," dockets destroyed, no prosecutions. For the right bribe, "Comrade Cops" sell everything; rifles, safe-houses for stolen loot, vanished files, and deliberately useless "investigations."

Crime in progress? 16 or 17 patrol cars out there, but only two bother to respond with lame excuses like "radio broke" or "we were at lunch." Then they release the killers because they're "brothers" in the ANC, EFF, or BLF.

These treacherous cops are arming and shielding the monsters who torture, rape, and slaughter White farm families in their own homes.

The SAPS isn't failing; they're complicit butchers enabling the genocide of White South Africans. Disgusting. Blood-soaked enablers.

AfriForum has filed an urgent application with to High Court to have the Johannesburg Metro’s controversial 65,6% water levy increase reviewed and set aside.

Manenberg SAPS is expected to police one of Cape Town’s most gang-affected areas, yet less than 50% of its total vehicle fleet appears to be operational at the station.

The visible policing picture is worse. Our surprise visit this afternoon revealed that VISPOL appears to have only 43.5% of its stated vehicle strength operational at the station.

This is not acceptable.

Our cops deserve better. Communities deserve better.

Police members cannot be expected to respond quickly, patrol effectively and prevent crime when the basic tools of policing are unavailable, stuck in garages or tied up elsewhere.

I have already written to the National Commissioner and the Minister of Police requesting urgent intervention and answers on fleet availability, repair delays, garage turnaround times and the failure to keep frontline vehicles operational.

Policing plans mean very little if the vehicles needed to implement them are not on the road.

Elon Musk did not become a different person when he landed in America.

In South Africa, he may still have been brilliant, restless, and ambitious, but the environment would not have given him the same room to build SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, and everything else.

Talent matters. The country you build in decides how much of that talent can become real.

[Farai Mazhindu @FaraiMazhindu]

@Seancology The real missed opportunity is blocking Elon Musk from investing in South Africa in 2026, after everything he's done and everyone has witnessed with Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink.

It's fair to say South African politicians are logically bankrupt.

[Gareth Cliff @GarethCliff]

The one thing you can say about everyone who’s unhappy about Elon Musk’s new trillionaire status is that they’re the same bitter and resentful people who would hate you if you had more than them.

They make terrible friends
You shouldn’t do business with them
Never lend them money
Never marry them
Never give them any responsibility

[Shruti @heyshrutimishra]

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.

400 of them are now worth over $100 million.

These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.

Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.

Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."

The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.

Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

World's first heart transplant.

SA has some serious talent.

Can someone tell the @MYANC please?

[Nadia Polony @NadiaFerreira85]

PA has and will make inroads. Unfortunately there are many Coloured folk who think Ex Con is some kind of saint. In reality he is just another iteration of Malema.
By 2029 they will have lived through 3yrs of lies, corruption and disrespect from Ex Con.
Say what you wish about the DA..but 1st point out any Mcplty that spends as much on Coloureds and Blacks as the DA does in the WC, specifically in Cape Town.

[Juba @riekvdm]

@kimheller3 And then sommer decolonise you as well!

[Uhlanga lukaSikhunyana! Yanga! @MhlangaArchie]

@Lolita721611021 I personally know someone who made almost R1B from here and Kusile, and they are proud that they hardly did anything. That stuff will make you cry if you knew all of it.

[Χ Ξ | Σ h8 @616h8]

And this goes down on all mines now, I hate doing any work on the mines, I usually quote 3 days labour to do a job that might take 4 hrs, the 1st day: arrive at gates at 05:00, when you finally get permission to go to Engineering and get there it will be like 10:00, then it’s all the site inspection & safety paperwork which is all fine and important but they could’ve emailed me all that and I could’ve had it approved by the foreman at 10:00- when you finally done and all tools and testers were inspected and certified its 12:00 & you wait cause your representative is on lunch by the time he gets back & we finally get to the site its time to pack up cause no special permission was given to work after 15:30? Also all the paperwork you filled in can be used but we need to state on it that its a 3 day job so tomorrow will be easier. Next day at 10:00 we back at engineering altho we arrived at security at 05:00, we got to work on site at about 11:00 & when our representative went on lunch we had to stop and can’t do any work till he is back, I took a chance and kept working cause none of them will climb up a 50m crane to come check what we up to.. by 14:30 we completed the job and the 3rd day was commissioning and much of the same.
This did not include medical checkups and induction which was a further 2 days..
So doing a 4hr job anywhere else takes a week on the mines. I’m pretty use to it now but man you need so much patience which I just don’t have & say anything or comment about anything & the guy that helped you will just leave and you’ll maybe see him in an hour.

[Madam Butterfly @intrepidesigner]

@Lolita721611021 Same can be said with respect to working hours of ANY government office / institution, yet the wages bill is 32% of the annual budget and they effectively only work HALF days.

[I ❤️ Cape Town ~ I Stand with Russia🇷🇺 MAGA @Lolita721611021]

🇿🇦 Read and weep... its about time the truth starts coming out...‼️

"I am a contractor and I worked at the Medupi Power Station. I wish to add a few comments...

"The working staff get the last day of each month off as well as half the previous day for pay day.

"General workers arrive between eight and nine and start working on the new substations by ten.

"Lunch starts at about 11:30 and finishes about 14:00
They leave at about 15:30

"These are the general workers pulling in new cables, moving panels etc.

"So very little real work gets done because of the short working hours.

"I was working in a substation. The air conditioning system was not working because the controller is the wrong type. It has taken four months to find a replacement. It was 40 degrees in the substation

"The two main chimneys at Medupi have been built facing the wrong direction. They are 180 degrees the wrong way round. This means the pipework will all have to be changed. The efficiency of the blowers will be affected as the pipework is incorrect.

"The management of staff is a mess. The staff sit and look at you if you ask them to do anything. They know that if they don’t like what you are asking, they can on strike and they have done it. So nobody messes with them.

"The engineer who signed off the building of the chimneys the wrong way round has disappeared. There was insufficient management oversight. The wrong air conditioning unit in the substation was also due to lack of management.

LUNCH

"Apparently the “kitchen” or food contract is run by the local ANC mayor or leader.

The workers are guaranteed a hot lunch every day.

There is a central kitchen and mess.

"Thus a worker who is an hour away from the kitchen, is transported in a little bus. His lunch hour only starts when he picks up the plate to be served.

"So an hour lunch break lasts 2 or 3 hours in some sections.

"When the workforce was on strike the lunch providers were paid full value – not just the profit section even though they were not supplying any meals.

"The lunch contract has come up for review many times and every time the same person is awarded the contract despite better or other bids."

Now this is just lunch.... Imagine the rest ?

@RevErskineGH True. If you plan to illegally go to South Africa, stay away, because if you do, it is against the law and you are a criminal.
