The frame captured, the 'cut' screamed, the lines missed and calls to action not answered, basically film is my first love and on the couch you'll find me.
STATEMENT
Farm victims should not be political props
Afrikaners for South Africa (AfSA) strongly condemns Lex Libertas’s planned display of 3 000 white crosses in Washington, DC. We believe the campaign exploits the suffering of farm victims to advance a narrow political agenda, presents Americans with a misleading picture of South Africa and risks deepening racial divisions at home.
We are Afrikaners. We unequivocally condemn farm killings and all violence against farming communities. Victims deserve justice, survivors need support, and rural safety requires urgent action.
Our concern is that their suffering is being used to tell a misleading story and advance a private political agenda.
The evidence does not support a campaign of racial persecution:
South Africa’s violent-crime crisis affects every community, including black farmers and farmworkers. Research indicates that farm attacks are driven mainly by robbery and other criminal motives rather than by a coordinated campaign of racial persecution. This does not rule out racial hatred in a handful of individual attacks, but it challenges the picture the cross campaign presents.
Grief is not a mandate for self-governance:
Lex Libertas openly links the crosses to its personal pursuit of American support for white “self-governance” (https://t.co/lPgPtuLtm9). That political ambition deserves scrutiny on its own merits. The deaths of farm victims cannot serve as a mandate for it.
The organisers should explain what this spectacle will achieve for those still living with the threat of violence. Will it improve policing, speed up emergency responses, or provide lasting support for grieving families? Its success should be measured in those terms, not in headlines or political theatre.
South Africans could pay the price:
The distorted narrative could discourage tourism and investment in South Africa. Within South Africa, it can inflame racial suspicion and undermine cooperation between communities whose safety depends on one another.
The Trump administration’s aid cuts, visa restrictions and threats of further action suggest that South Africa is already being used to score political points in the US. With American midterm elections approaching, we fear this display will give that campaign fresh ammunition. South Africans should not pay the price for a small faction’s political point-scoring and fundraising in America.
Lex Libertas and its associates speak for a minority:
Lex Libertas does not speak for all Afrikaners or all South Africans. We ask Americans to listen to a wider range of South African voices and, should they wish, support practical and honest efforts to reduce violence across all communities.
Honour all victims. Demand the full picture. Help us build a safer, more united South Africa.
The idea of wanting a certain thing, in "Abundance" of course, being willing to get it by any means, and then realizing that it comes with a tax. Is acquiring it still worth it? You start out taking a drive, "driver looking at you like all of this shit will work fine". Along the ways there's "Detours" that shake the GPS, "Learned Behavior" that determines how you approach the road ahead, the windows at times seem "Rose Tinted", the view is "God Given" so you "Keep It Close". So much happens along the way that when you get towards the end, finally approaching the thing you set out to get, you become intrigued by "The Rearview", and you reflect on the Luxury Tax.

For Apocalypto, we cast primarily Indigenous people from Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, many of whom had little or no acting experience. To keep the film authentic, the entire movie was performed in the Yucatec Maya language.
WATCH | What should have been a day of fitness and celebration turned into a nightmare after more than 100 runners in Johannesburg reportedly had their cellphones stolen during a race, allegedly by criminals posing as fellow participants. SABC News' Neria Hlakotsa has the details.
Operation New Broom swept into Sunninghill, Joburg before dawn to enforce our immigration laws in an informal settlement and at local enterprises employing illegal immigrants. After already doubling annual lawful deportations, we continue our work to restore the rule of law 🇿🇦
NEWS: The SA First Forum, the litigation wing of the March and March Movement says it will initiate a process to force the South African government to amend its laws to bar foreign nationals from claiming money from the struggling RAF and getting social grants from SASSA.
The forum also wants a debate on whether the government should establish refugee camps or not.
The move by the forum comes after parliamentary replies shows that foreign nationals, some of them in the country illegally, have pocketed billions from the RAF and SASSA (approved refugees only) - KZN Tonight Podcast
Owen Ndlovu spent years publicly accusing SAMRO CEO Annabell Lebethe and the board of corruption and the misappropriation of more than R60 million meant for artists, the money was flagged in the Fundudzi forensic report.
He called for the board’s removal at AGMs and took them to court.
A day before he was due back in court over the same SAMRO fight., suddenly he was hijacked at gunpoint and found the next morning dumped with bullet wounds??
No arrests. No answers. Just another loud whistleblower silenced and the media is silent!!!!!!
Look into the Fundudzi report. Look into the R60 million. Look into the court records. Look into the timing. Don’t take anyone’s word for it , dig. They murdered another whistleblower.

Just drove to my hotel at the airport in Kempton Park at 10pm after the Pirates game..
Not a SINGLE street light is on, not a single robot is working… COMPLETE DARKNESS where we are supposedly on high alert and in a state of emergency!?
What a disgrace..
but the powers at be try to convince us they are doing all they can to protect our women.. but they can’t even keep the lights on! 🤬🤬
So 3 members of the Tactical Response Unit robbed a Zimbabwean woman of R85 000 that she had collected to pay for a funeral. The woman and her brother were then taken to Jeppe Police Station and threatened with a fabricated charge of money laundering. SAPS first refused to assist them in opening a docket and they were then assisted by Internal Affairs.
There are 750 screens in the film market labeled "the Caribbean". A majority Black audience and Black-led films do well there.
Not tracked by Box Office Mojo or The Numbers. Should b under international
If tracked, it'd prove Black-led casts to be more lucrative & we'd get more
20 years ago today most of you met me for the first time musically. 20 years ago today I was able to press the button on a short EP entitled "Cloud 9: The 3 Day High", a project that I wrote and recorded in 3 days using beat CDs that @9thwonder had given me a few months prior whenever we'd see each other. 20 years ago I was taking the A,C and E trains to work at Morgan Stanley, then hopping on the LIRR to Huntington to go to my man Nyce crib to record as much music as humanly possible, including this EP that introduced so many of y'all to me. 20 years ago today 9th got behind this project and I never had to work a 9-5 job again. Happy 20 years to "Cloud 9", aka 3 days that changed my life. Salute to everyone who tapped in and has been on this journey for the past 20 years. Here's to 20 more.
This is not poor leadership, misplaced priorities or a failure of common sense. It’s the global imperial system.
If these “leaders” attempted to anything beyond what they’re doing now, there’d be hell to pay.
The empire needs them to remain exactly like this to sustain itself.
