Just read an article on Abdullah.His name is Sentso,apparently his dad was Sotho,”but his gran had given him different names to pass as coloured under apartheid laws,to ease his passage due to the regimes tendency to punish some kinds of blackness more harshly than others.

A businessman once bought a massive diamond in South Africa, about the size of an egg yolk.

But to his disappointment, the stone had a crack inside.

He took it to a skilled jeweler, hoping for advice.

The jeweler examined it carefully and said:

“This diamond can be split into two perfect gems, each worth more than the original stone. But one wrong strike and it will shatter into worthless fragments. I won’t take that risk.”

The businessman traveled the world, showing the diamond to jewelers in many countries.

Each one gave the same answer: "Too risky".

Finally, someone told him about an old master jeweler in Amsterdam known for his golden hands.

He flew there the same day.
The old jeweler studied the diamond through his monocle and warned him again of the risk.
The businessman interrupted:

“I’ve heard that story before. I’m ready. Just do it.”

The jeweler nodded, agreed on the price, then turned to a young apprentice working quietly nearby.

The boy took the diamond, placed it on his palm, and struck it once, clean and precise.

The stone split beautifully into two flawless gems.

Without even looking up, he handed them back to the master.

Astonished, the businessman asked:

“How long has he been working for you?”

The old jeweler smiled.

“This is his third day. He doesn’t know the real value of the stone, that’s why his hand didn’t tremble.”

Sometimes the more we fear losing something, the less capable we become of doing what needs to be done.

Treat life’s challenges as if they are lighter than they seem, and your hand will stay steady.

While you’re crying about Starlink whose owner is anti- South Africa , the province of Ontario just terminated Starlink for anti-Canadadian antics

On this day in 1985:
Motown recording legend Stevie Wonder is arrested outside the South African embassy in Washington, D.C. for protesting the notorious apartheid system in the segregationist African nation.

France 🇫🇷, the EU 🇪🇺 , Germany 🇩🇪 and Italy 🇮🇹 as well as the other member states share with South Africa 🇿🇦 a common attachment to multilateralism, the rule of law, non-racialism, non-sexism and the rules-based imternational order.

Here is a video of our Ambassadors 👇 about this joint commitment.

If the USA so chooses to run their foreign policies based on fake news and propaganda by those who hate South Africa, our country has no legal and moral ground to defend such.

@AlanWinde666 What a callous statement from a leader. It is precisely because of messages like yours and its consequences that we were urged to call it Mpox. Given your political standing & the W.C's devided political and racial landscape, do you not think that this maybe counterproductive?

They don’t want a man who doesn’t have a job because he can’t afford

When they find a man who has Job they cheat on him because he's always busy can working they feel lonely 😭😭

You will never satisfy them brothers …

@vukaningcobo19 This is a sobering revelation. I still grapple with what would be the most efficient and amicable way of a transition, that does not result in another Zimbabwe.
