Making South Africa Less Shit!

[Mbuyiseni Ndlozi @MbuyiseniNdlozi]

Hands Off Gen. Mkhwanazi! A society that doesn’t protect whistleblowers is doomed to become a mafia state! They have already killed Babita. What do you think they will do to Mkhwanazi?

He must be shielded from all petty, egotistical, pompous & parasitic attacks!

All who try to reduce his mission to “personality fight ”, or even factions within the SAPS are all wrong. Journalists, politicians & many experts have been peddling of this line.

What this line seeks to do, is to neutralise the correct momentum against SAPS generals who have protected, advanced & benefitted from organised criminals with the endorsed of top politicians.

Mkhwanazi’s mission is simple: Organised criminals are embedded with top politicians & top generals, and they must all be exposed and meet the full might of the law!

Fact: All who oppose Gen. Mkhwanazi are not with the people! That is the bottom line!

If Mkhwanazi doesn’t win this battle, which is a peoples battle, then ours will become a banana republic, a mafia state ruled by men with guns!

Society must defend itself!

@OtsileJK Funny thing about that extinguisher —it’s not because the Chinese EV is extra flammable, it’s just local traffic regulations that require it. Irony is, EV fires are rare but when they happen, no little extinguisher will help anyway.

@kuanele_ Intelezi kept them in the fighting spirit through and through

[VT @VusiThembekwayo]

The smart thing about Mkhwanazi's actions, intentional or not, is that he has compelled officials, political leaders, and some media to publicly declare their allegiance.

Some are panicking.
Some are irritated.
Some platforming non-office bearers to comment on an issue of national importance.

Their response to his media briefing tells you whose side they're on.

Watch and listen carefully. They are telling on themselves.

As a voter, you should take note.

Despite your man's request that you stop exposing yourself in front of the children, you continue to do so. Upon seeing them pointing at your private parts, you realize that he was right. The stupidity of some women needs to be studied at every university. Hence, I will never get married since I will not be able to be a husband to such dandaheads🚮

[The Growler 🇿🇦 @ThatOtherGuyV1]

@mpho_shami Exactly. Viewers want bias & fireworks, not facts—just some ‘it’s rubbish’ punchlines. Meanwhile, car journos sip Veuve in business class, courtesy of automakers’ ad budgets. Honesty doesn’t come with a complimentary amenity kit!

[The Growler 🇿🇦 @ThatOtherGuyV1]

@JosiahThobejane Most car reviews are just PR fluff written by someone high on free champagne from a 5-star junket. Objectivity? Gone. It’s not journalism; it’s marketing. Trust data, not ‘journalists’ with a hangover and a goodie bag.

@Malatjie_ In motoring journalism, ‘breathtaking handling’ often means the reviewer’s just back from a free trip to Monaco, with a glass of champagne still in hand. If the test drive came with a five-star dinner, free maybe take that ‘honest review’ with a grain of salt

Allow me vent a little bit.

Guys, if any country wants us to apply and pay for a VISA to visit them, then it’s only fair for South Africa to demand the same of their citizens🤷🏽‍♀️ We want the West to respect us but we still pander to them at the expense of our nation’s dignity.

The assumption that requiring VISAs would somehow stop tourists from coming here is insulting, really. It implies that South Africa is not worth the inconvenience of applying for a visa. I mean, SA is a world-class destination - we have everything imaginable. We are no charity case; no one comes here because it’s convenient or visa-free, they come because they want to experience what we have to offer. The Western countries are not doing us any favour by visiting us, it’s a mutual exchange!

Assuming that visas would somehow stop them just shows an embarrassing lack of confidence in our value as a nation. But also, if we demand VISAs, it should be easy for them to get them, right? I mean, they should be able to prove they’re coming here to spend money🤷🏽‍♀️ If they’re denied entry for any reason, do we really want them here? Clearly they’re bad news! If they don’t have money, we’re allowing them to come here to do what exactly? If they can’t afford VISA application fees, then clearly they won’t help us with anything when they get here, so the “promoting Torusim” argument is an excuse for timid leadership.

At this stage, it feels like a permanent beggar-master arrangement. SAns must go through lengthy and demeaning processes to visit some countries - they have to present proof of finances, pre-book flights and hotels, and pay high “processing” fees. Regardless, we still go! But I really don’t understand how it makes sense to our leaders that the poor guy should pay the wealthy guy for him to DECIDE whether or not he can visit, but the wealthy guy pays nothing to visit the poor guy🤷🏽‍♀️

Remember, if the VISA is denied, you get no refund whatsoever. This may not be significant for 1% of our population, but the amount can actually be more than our national minimum wage. If you don’t book flexible flights and hotels, it’s a disaster. You lose, but they continue making money off you even after denying you entry….how crazy is that? Actually, why are we subjecting ourselves to this? This submissive colonial mentality is a betrayal of our value as a country and I really hope it reaches its expiry date soon.

I have repeatedly travelled to over 60 countries and, yes, I’ve never been denied a VISA, but I recently wanted to host a young African girl whose story as an unemployed graduate touched my heart. Her flights and accommodation were covered, and I actually wrote a letter stating that I will host her for a month. However, her VISA was still denied because she didn’t have money in her own account. This made me angry because this prejudice is targeted specifically at Africans.

Why do we assume that those from Western countries are wealthier and more valuable? They may well be, yes, but what makes us certain without question? Why is the harsh scrutiny reserved for our African brothers and sisters? I’m not suggesting SA should be a free-for-all, but we must be consistent and not self-destructive. These colonial biases, even if unconscious, will continue to divide us and erode our values.

We must drop this submissive, inferiority attitude and command the respect we deserve. We are a valuable nation after all, not some charity case.

The venting session ends.
