We have all the skills, expertise, land, minerals, resources needed. Lesser countries are envious.

But we squander all of it on Gucci, force great people to emigrate and leave resources gathering dust, while the poor get R350.

It’s all a scam.

Solidarity 💯 happening the other one not so much!! It's like the speed trains 🚄 remember!! There is a very big difference between talk and do!!

Spot the difference.

Interesting modern history that no one remembers yet it remains relevant. The right to Afrikaner self determination and a volkstaat are legal and binding and form a part of signed (by Mbeki) settlement in 1994. @willempet

Turns out the sleazy, backward right wingers were right: The ANC cannot be trusted, the "New South Africa" is a mess, the "Final Constitution" is not final and the "End of History" is not the end.

"Shortly before midnight, I awoke to flashing lights in the living room. I got up to check and when I got to the living room, I ran into one of the attackers. He grabbed me and hit me in the face with a bat. I fell and screamed, while trying to fight them off. My children then awoke and came to check what was going on. The attackers grabbed them and hit them with a sjambok."

A single mother, Annemarie Carvalho, and her two young daughters (aged 9 and 12) were brutally attacked in what can only be described as a horrific act of violence.

The mother was beaten with a bat and a sjambok (whip). When her brave daughters tried to intervene and protect her, they were viciously assaulted too, one of the girls was slammed against a wall.

All three were hospitalized with serious injuries. The children are now deeply traumatized by the nightmare they endured while trying to save their mom.

The National Prosecuting Authority has an opportunity not only to have Malema's bail conditions revoked but also to secure a conviction in a case that could lead to life imprisonment. The question is, why aren't they charging him?

Does this bother you at all?

Is the South African government doing enough to protect us from unscrupulous manufacturers, or is it our responsibility to be informed and make smart decisions?

[Pookie's Polls & Opinions @pookiepolls]

A whole generation of South Africans would be shocked to read this, especially when they look at where the country is today.

Before 1994, South Africa built capabilities that few countries in the world could claim.

It developed nuclear weapons, a rocket programme, large-scale synthetic fuel production, a globally respected defence industry, and medical breakthroughs that made world history. At the southern tip of Africa, one country achieved all of this before the Cold War had even ended.

Today, Africa is often spoken about as if it is still waiting to industrialise, still dependent, still trying to build what others already mastered long ago. That is what makes this history so striking.

While South Africa was enriching uranium at Pelindaba, testing rockets at Overberg, producing fuel from coal at Secunda, and carrying out the world’s first human heart transplant at Groote Schuur, much of the rest of Africa was being pulled in a very different direction. Instead of industrial self-reliance, many newly independent states were sold ideology. Instead of building durable technical capacity, they were pushed toward socialist models that too often ended in weak institutions, dependency, and collapse. The pattern repeated itself across the continent.

South Africa, by contrast, built real strategic capability under sanctions and international pressure. It developed its own uranium enrichment process, built six nuclear weapons, and then voluntarily dismantled them before the democratic transition, opening its programme to international inspection. No other nuclear state has done that in the same way.

It also built a serious rocket programme. Vehicles in the RSA series were designed and tested, and the country came close to having its own orbital launch capability. That programme was not simply paused. It was dismantled.

Sasol achieved something equally remarkable: turning coal into fuel on a huge scale. When South Africa could not secure enough oil, it used chemistry and engineering to produce its own supply. That was not theory. It was functioning industrial independence.

The defence sector was another pillar of that capability. South Africa designed and produced advanced artillery, armoured vehicles, aircraft projects, and attack helicopters. Some of these systems went on to influence military designs far beyond its borders.

Then there was medicine. In 1967, Christiaan Barnard and his team performed the world’s first successful human heart transplant in Cape Town. That was not an isolated achievement. It reflected a wider culture of scientific and medical excellence.

So the uncomfortable question is this: if all of this is documented, why is so little of it widely remembered?

The answer may be that it does not fit neatly into the version of history most people are taught. Pre-1994 South Africa is rightly remembered for apartheid and injustice, but that is not the whole story. It was also the most technologically advanced state Africa had produced, and acknowledging that forces people to confront how much capability existed, and how much has since been lost.

South Africa did not inherit these achievements. It built them under pressure, under sanctions, and largely on its own. That is not nostalgia. It is history. And the fact that so many people barely know it happened says a great deal about how history is told.

🚨 ALERT: SHARP RISE IN MALARIA CASES IN GAUTENG‼️‼️‼️

The Gauteng Department of Health has raised serious concern over a dramatic increase in malaria cases and deaths across the province.

414 malaria cases and 11 deaths💀 were recorded between January and March this year, compared to just 230 cases and only 1 death during the same period last year‼️

Malaria is a life-threatening disease transmitted by mosquitoes, but it is treatable if detected early.

🔥Seek medical help immediately if you develop symptoms such as fever, chills, headache, fatigue, vomiting or muscle pain.

Don’t wait, early treatment saves lives‼️

Oh look, another great story to add to the @MYANC 's election campaign, @MbalulaFikile : Moody's has placed Joburg on review for a downgrade, based, inter alia on the JSE's suspension of its debt, as a result of the city's failure to publish its 2025 FY statements. "This development reflects a deterioration in its assessment of the City's governance, particularly in relation to transparency and timelines of
financial reporting."

Don’t know about you, but I’m fed up with losers, weaklings, sociopaths, dummies and communists (but I repeat myself) trying to drag everyone else down in a last-ditch attempt to make themselves look less shit.

[Gina @ginnydmm]

And then they place replicas in children’s hands glorifying death and murder. Terrorism.

And the “authorities” allow this.

No surprise we have a murder, gang, GBV epidemic in this country

[Politicsweb @Politicsweb]

The ANC/MK viewed robbery as a legitimate instrument of armed struggle - not just a necessary means of securing weapons and operational funds, but also morally legitimate "repossession." Yet how many analyses of SA's violent crime crisis will ever note that basic historical context?
