I was born during apartheid but I did not experience it long enough to fully grasp the cruelty of it but today on this 16th day of October 2026, I, Jacinta Zinhle Zuma understand fully now why apartheid HAD to be Law, it had to be legislated so that anyone who dares fight the state or the system is seen as breaking the law and the very people who are custodians of the law use it against people they deem a threat…
South Africans were promised many things post-apartheid , many of those promises are yet to be fulfilled and now the government of South Africa is against people raising their dissatisfaction at them bringing in even more people to burden them further in their communities and their country, compromising their safety and making their socio-economic issues even worse…. the same people that fought a government under the disguise of “freeing” them is now a replica of the former system…
Those who are not affected by these problems are dumbing them down and dismissing them as an exaggeration! The media is on their side and anything contrary to their already existing beliefs is dismissed with the utmost enthusiasm. They claim to not have the means and resources to solve the problem which the people are complaining about which is ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION and FOREIGNERS committing crimes in the country BUT when they want to silence the citizens, terrorise them and instill fear in them, stop them from protesting,they will use any means necessary and hide behind “Law enforcement” p
I have never pleaded with the President of the country but right now I will…
Dear @CyrilRamaphosa
Can you for once LISTEN to your citizens cries? Can you hear what their concerns are? Can you sit down with your people and just hear what they are complaining about instead of wanting to look good to the rest of the world…Please can tell us why do foreigners enjoy so much more grace, freedom, love and respect from our government than we do??? 💔🇿🇦
Keeping everyone (including Africans) completely ignorant about Africa and the central role it plays in the economic and natural world is a core feature of Europeanised education, not a bug.
You're not supposed to know that the DRC is the most resource-rich country in the world, with an estimated $24 trillion sitting under its soil. You're not supposed to know that the rise of "western civilisation" from the 15th century on was entirely made possible by European contact with Africa, and that the resources and labour extracted from coastal West Africa from 1492 onwards are the entire reason why both American continents exist in their current form.
You're not supposed to know that both WW1 and WW2 were essentially wars fought over the right to African colonial domination and expansion, and that even the uranium that was used in "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki came from Shinkolobwe uranium mine in eastern DRC. You're not supposed to know that the reason the country of France exists in its current form is because tens of thousands of conscripted West African soldiers fought and won against the Nazis in Europe, and the French thereafter shipped them back to West Africa and massacred them at Camp Thiaroye in Senegal to avoid paying them their due wages.
You're not supposed to know that there was nothing cold about the so-called Cold War, because the vast majority of the hot theaters it was physically fought in were on the continent of Africa. (Zimbabwe, DRC, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Angola, Eritrea, Zambia etc). You're not supposed to know that the ongoing Ukraine war and the war in the Sahel are in fact the same conflict being fought by the same 2 sides, and that the reason France is desperately pushing funding and arms to Ukraine even as it falls into internal crisis is that Ukraine is acting as its proxy army in West Africa, as it tries to regain its lost colonial territories there, especially Niger where the cheap yellowcake uranium for its famously cheap nuclear energy used to come from before the 2023 revolution.
You're definitely not supposed to know that the entire global economy and system of trade as you know it is built on ruthless extraction from Africa and ensuring that Africa does not control anything it exports. You're not supposed to know that "Italian leather" doesn't come from Italy - it comes from Kano, Nigeria. You're not supposed to know that "Swiss chocolate" does not exist because cocoa does not grow anywhere in Switzerland or Europe - it comes from Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire and Nigeria. You're not supposed to know that Israel and the UAE control the global diamond and gold markets even though Israel has no diamond mine and the UAE has zero gold mines, because both resources are literally being stolen from the DRC and Sudan on an industrial basis.
You're basically not supposed to understand that the entire geopolitical world as you know it, rests entirely on extraction from Africa, poverty of Africans, and your own ignorance about where everything you use comes from.
Completely deliberate 500+ year-old feature, not accidental bug.
Morning guys, I hope you’re well.
I don’t ask for much but PLEASE don’t make Helen Zille the mayor of Johannesburg. I’m honestly begging you. We have enough problems, as a city.
A poor economy can explain so many different crimes but rape isn’t one of them. You rape because you’re a rapist, there are no socioeconomic factors that influence that.
When you were also a journalist, Credo Mutwa accused you of misrepresenting his 1976 testimony portraying him as calling for the army to suppress the Soweto uprising. His home was attacked, his wife was raped, his children beaten, and he was stabbed and nearly burned alive.He had to flee to KZN!
