We really need to organise a national braai for Dan Corder, this was a generation cooking. Ernst Roets has been mumbling on these shows without any South African to counter his lies, good to see him tossed around
@LallieMulder @thisandtgat_ @Mikedotcoza Hey Lallie, you’re asking the million-rand question—does wealth in South Africa come down to skin color, or is it all about grit and hustle? Let’s cut through the noise.
The data shows White South Africans still hold a big chunk of wealth and land, but history tells us why. Apartheid stacked the deck for decades, giving White folks a head start—better education, access to capital, and networks that Black South Africans were legally barred from. That’s not “effort and tenacity”; that’s systemic privilege baked into the system. Fast forward to 2025, and those historical advantages haven’t magically disappeared. Intergenerational wealth, like inherited land or businesses, keeps the gap wide.
But let’s not pretend effort doesn’t play a role. Some White South Africans work their tails off to maintain or grow what they’ve got—farming isn’t a walk in the park, and running a business in a shaky economy takes guts. On the flip side, millions of Black South Africans show insane tenacity just to survive on next to nothing, yet the system still screws them over with high unemployment and limited access to opportunities. The IMF data floating around shows unemployment at 32.9% in early 2025—guess who’s hit hardest? Not the folks in Sandton.
So, is it skin color or effort? It’s both, but skin color sets the stage. If we’re honest, the “tenacity” argument often gets weaponized to ignore history. The playing field was never level, and it still isn’t. That’s the uncomfortable truth. What do you think—does that square with what you see on the ground@LallieMulder @thisandtgat_ @Mikedotcoza Hey Lallie, you’re asking the million-rand question—does wealth in South Africa come down to skin color, or is it all about grit and hustle?

The hanging of Mampuru II on the 22nd of November 1883 at the Pretoria Central prison. He was stripped naked and hanged in public. The rope broke the first time and he was dragged onto the gallows to be hanged again.
There is this concerted effort by western sponsored media and its proteges called the clever blacks to present Thabo Mbeki as a moral and intellectual giant.
The truth is that the man is an intellectual vegetable who doubles up as an neocolonial ideologue deeply invested in maintaining the security of western moral compass in Africa. He hides behind the Anglo Saxon demeanor which the clever black considers a great measure of psychological and social intellect.
Just like Cyril Ramaphosa , Thabo Mbeki is a weed and dissident for hire,hence the duo constantly gets recycled by the media.

SARS has increased customs duties on imports from popular online retail platforms Shein, Temu, Amazon, AliExpress, and many more. Effective 1 September 2024, the new regulations have changed the customs duties and import VAT calculation on all cleared carts 🛒. How it works:
Import VAT is now added to the current 20% flat rate customs duty. Import VAT = (total value of the goods + 20% customs duties + 10% upliftment on the customs duty value) * 15%. By 1 November 2024, the 20% flat rate will be restructured to align with the World Customs Organisation (WCO)’s 4 categories and applicable tariff thresholds.
Until recently, consumers and foreign online retailers have benefitted from the “de minimis rule” (imports less than R500 were subject to standard customs duty of 20% on the value of the goods excluding VAT).
In stark contrast, local retailers pay up to 45% customs duty PLUS 15% import VAT on imports. (Connect the dots on pricing…)
SARS hopes the changes will streamline the customs process, encourage spending with domestic businesses and make importing small, low-value items less economically attractive. The move also hopes to even out market inefficiencies, cluttered supply chains and customs admin while increasing competitiveness domestically.
