THE SOUL OF A NATION–A Poem that set me free! Hi, I’m Felicia, and for years, I carried the weight of bullying. From high school to varsity, the taunts and isolation shaped me in ways I wish they hadn’t.
@nakhuzana100@destinyzee ...lol, it's the self-hatred for me bc what do you mean "ungumuntu noma uyini?" is even a thing from one black person to another?
Reducing political critique to “hate” is how real conversations get silenced. EFF isn’t attacking wine, development, or the elderly, they’re questioning who benefits, who’s excluded and why. You don’t have to agree with their approach but pretending it’s all idiocy is dishonest.
Stellenbosch focuses on their wine — the EFF attacked them.
Kleinfontein focuses on their elderly — the EFF attacked them.
Orania focuses on their development — the EFF attacked them.
Tourists focus on their sightseeing — the EFF attacked them.
IDIOCY AND HATE DEFINE THE EFF.
@GodTRYX Funny how “attack” is the word used when the EFF questions inequality or exclusion. If your comfort depends on no one asking hard questions, maybe it’s not comfort, it’s privilege.
...it’s always the loudest misogynists trying to derail conversations with weak takes. If the shoe fits, lace it up and run far, far away.

Whether some women struggle with hygiene or not is not the point. The way MacG and them spoke about that woman was straight-up disrespectful and disgusting, especially as grown men with huge platforms.
Some women have very bad hygiene down there, you do not know how to properly clean your ass.
Instead of being outraged about what MacG said, take a closer look at your own hygiene
@ShakerShabalala @GodPenuel @ZANewsFlash The very "difference" you talk about is why he should take accountability. Amajita elokshini don't have cameras in their faces, and they don't live off people watching their podcast.
You don’t get to humiliate someone like that and then hide behind “it’s just jokes.” It wasn’t just what was said, it’s how they said it. The laughter. The mockery. The comfort in tearing down a woman’s body for entertainment.
Parliament feels like an old age home, where stories are plenty, but action is gone. We need leaders who not only speak, but act.
