@PinketteXO @StandardBankZA How did the bank’s systems fail to detect over 15 transactions in a single night, some of which were for identical amounts? Why did these repeated and unusual patterns not trigger fraud alerts or account blocks?
These are some of the transactions. 🥹

I recently came across a very disturbing statistic from Discovery, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it.
Of all the unnatural deaths amongst 41 to 60-year-olds in South Africa, 45% are the result of suicide. Nearly half.
Not to downplay the horrific accidents among younger people, or those in older age groups. But this 45% number exposes something devastating about the state of our society.
People are clearly under immense pressure. They feel ashamed, afraid, and most heartbreakingly, lonely and feel like they have nowhere to turn. This is not simply a mental health issue. It’s structural. It’s cultural. And it’s urgent.
As some of you may know, I suffered this tragedy first hand in my own family when my youngest sibling devastatingly ended his own life.
We need to start having serious, open conversations. Government, insurance and healthcare industries because we lose people in their prime who still had much to contribute.
What’s also worrying is how quietly this epidemic continues. We don’t speak about it because families hide it. And yet, the silence only allows it to grow. Shame is a poor strategy for reducing the loneliness people feel.
I don’t pretend to have the answers. But I do know this: we cannot accept this as normal. We must, all of us, begin to ask better questions, offer better support, and demand better systems.
Because when almost half of a generation feels life is no longer worth living, we can’t just look away and carry on as if this is normal in a society.

Are we just going to ignore how the "experts" were wrong about covid?
• it started with stay home, locked up
• it's not enough to stay home, wear a mask too
• it's not enough to stay at home wearing a mask, get an injection
• it's not enough as well to stay home, wearing a mask, injected, get another shot to "boost" the first one
• oh wait, get a 3rd to "boost" the "booster" shot
• yes when you go to a restaurant make sure you're wearing a mask, only remove it when eating, that's when covid isn't active
• and by the way don't mind that these "vaccines" haven't been properly researched on, never mind the short term and long term side effects
Meanwhile the "conspiracy theorists" simply said, it's just another flu, the world isn't ending
2024 if you're still one of those people who can't question "experts" because of their credentials you're good as dead
Learn OR perish!!!
My concern was more the outrageous demand that people *must* take the vaccine and multiple boosters to do anything at all. That was messed up.
Until the Supreme Court invalidated Biden’s exec order, SpaceX and many other companies would have been forced to fire anyone who refused to get vaccinated!
We would not have done so. I would rather go to prison than fire good people who didn’t want to be jabbed.
As for myself, I got original Covid before the vaccine was out (mild cold symptoms) and had to get three vaccines for travel. The third shot almost sent me to hospital.
How many other people out there have symptoms that are actually from the vaccine or Covid treatment, rather than Covid itself?
As for those who didn’t take any vaccine, well @DjokerNole just won a record number of grand slams …
It’s not like I don’t believe in vaccines – I do. However, the cure cannot be potentially worse than the disease. And public debate over efficacy should not be shut down.
There is also great potential for curing many diseases using synthetic mRNA, so let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water.
