@Your_Car_Geek Best advice,cut your losses ASAP ,it’s only going to get worse

[Sizwe SikaMusi @SizweLo]

Note to South Africans:
White people will never voluntarily dismantle the system that privileges them. It’s not because they’re evil or immoral, it’s just logic.

Why would anyone give up inherited advantages? It’s borderline unfair to even expect this.

You see, privilege isn’t just a mindset, it’s a material structure: Better schools, generational wealth, access to capital, higher trust in institutions, safety, dignity, influence, etc.

These aren’t abstract ideas. They’re daily realities.

So, expecting others to surrender such advantages out of moral conviction is naïve and counterproductive. No system has ever collapsed because its beneficiaries felt guilty. Systems collapse when they’re challenged, disrupted and replaced.

In fact, it’s reasonable to expect the privileged to fight tooth and nail to protect what they have. Equality feels like loss when you’re used to unearned advantage. Sabotage isn’t the exception—it’s the rule.

Appeals to conscience won’t cut it. No dominant group in history has ever peacefully dismantled the system that keeps them on top. Why would this time be any different?

This isn’t about hate or racism. It’s about power. It’s about understanding that no one gives up advantage freely—not you, not me, not White people.

White people are never going to “work together” with you to bring about equality. Get serious.

Liberation doesn’t come through charity and hugging it out. It comes through struggle, effort and most importantly, a great deal of resolute resistance from the privileged.

Entities like the Democratic Alliance, Afriforum, the Institute of Race Relations and most NGOs you can think of are resistance movements and it’s important to see them in this light.

Lastly, one of the more effective methods of resisting transformation is simply pretending to advocate for it.

The advantaged will performatively endorse “change” through symbolic gestures and empty reforms to pacify the disadvantaged while maintaining the status quo because, again, why would they not?

Beware the perfumed seneschal. IYKYK.

In the end, history has shown that the privileged will never relinquish their advantages without resistance and this is normal behaviour.

Please make submissions on the bill. NGOs acting not in South Africans best interest are going to make submissions.

Let’s play our part. It’s our country to defend.

[LOVE LETTER] Allan Boesak To Popo Molefe:

“I declined those invitations also because I found that while “Defend our Democracy” was very vocal in their condemnation of former President Jacob Zuma, and rightly so, they were curiously quiet when President Cyril Ramaphosa’s questionable actions began to surface. I was already disturbed when Mr Ramaphosa blandly began to speak of “nine wasted years” under Zuma when, in fact, he was right there, as Deputy President, and as Chair of the Deployment Committee, to say nothing of his role vis-à-vis oversight of the State Enterprises. That refusal to take any responsibility at all, while the ANC is so obsessed with “collective decision making” when it suits them, is a political Pontius Pilate washing-of-the-hands attitude that has now become disastrously ingrained in the ANC. It is a prime example of the pseudo- innocence I talked about already in 1976: the feigning of ignorance while reaping the benefits of abusive power and systemic injustice. It is the fig leaf for political chicanery and moral recklessness that is the open door to that impunity that have destroyed our people’s trust in our democratic institutions from parliament to the courts. No wonder his was a “dawn” where the sun never rose.
Yet through all this, in scandal after scandal, “Defend our Democracy” did not say a word. Certainly no word that the South African public could hear, that could clear away the fog. Not even with, for the country deeply humiliating allegations of the hidden monies surfacing, and with the Ngcobo Commission stating clearly that the President has a case to answer. With that scandalous vote in Parliament I still did not hear a word, saw no call for accountability, or responsibility, certainly no call for public protest action. Was our democracy not then, as it is still now, under severe attack? Those who tried to do their constitutional duty were either publicly debased, intimidated, or suspended. Still, not a word. There are few things so detrimental to the health of a democracy as selective indignation.
It is no wonder, though incredibly disheartening, that there is such regular talk about the “Thuma Mina Faction” and the “Umshini Wami Faction.” And these are, I hear, not the only factions. It looks to me that you were not so much defending our democracy as defending Cyril. That is not about principle. It is about personal political and economic gain. In fact, sometimes I was severely criticised by those in your circle because I was so publicly critical of the ANC government. I have not heard anyone of you say what every conscientious South African knows is so absolutely necessary. Not just that Cyril Ramaphosa has to go, but that the ANC as a whole is enveloped by a culture that has put it beyond redemption; that in fact, the whole system chosen for our people in your secret talks with the old apartheid white capitalist class, is rotten to the core. Like apartheid, it cannot be reformed, it has to be irrevocably eradicated. I said this in 1983. It is even more true today.

But also, my Brother, as I look through the names you mention and names I know in this faction, I recognise those who, when the ANC with such unseemly haste decided to demolish the UDF, were singing loudest in that choir. I remember who they sent to me to convince me of the political rightness of that decision, how I refused, until they sent Madiba, under whose weight I eventually crumbled – a moment I still deeply regret. But they supported that position, because it would prove to be so rewarding. It is only a few weeks ago that I heard, for the first time after all these years, that the funeral of the UDF in Mitchell’s Plain was followed by a celebration party in the old Carlton Hotel. How fitting, and how ineffably sad. So I have to ask myself, are these the same people who are now calling for the revival of the UDF?”
