Passionate about SA, still trying to figure out what is wrong with being black and clever
A group of South African hoodlums looking for foreigners to attack and bully in South Africa 🇿🇦 Xenophobia in South is on another level. 😭😭😂😂
@SongezoZibi We keep correcting numbers, but not changing outcomes. The real question isn’t just accuracy, it’s why we still have underutilised graduates and millions excluded from the economy. The question is “how do we design an economy that absorbs people at scale?” @NoncebaMhlauli
Many Africans love President Trump's conservative values and straight talk. I said that on CNN and some accused me of lying. Africa is not a monolith, of course, but I travel around it full time and I meet more Trump fans than haters. Where do you stand?
[WATCH] "Singling out BEE laws is quite dishonest," President Cyril Ramaphosa responds to South African-born American businessman Elon Musk's claims that SA policies are racist. #Newzroom405
Why Elon Musk is RIGHT to fight South Africa’s racist rules blocking Starlink? Imagine this: Long ago, South Africa had very unfair laws called apartheid. They treated Black people badly and kept them from good jobs and money. When those bad laws ended, the country made new rules (called B-BBEE) to help Black people get a fair share of business. The idea was good – like a big helping hand. But now? For companies like Starlink to sell fast internet, they MUST give away 30% of their business to Black partners. Just because of skin color. Elon Musk was born in South Africa. He left as a teen to chase big dreams. Today, his company SpaceX wants to bring Starlink – super fast satellite internet – to South Africa. But the rules say no unless they give up part of the company. Elon said it right: “Starlink is not allowed because I’m not Black.” SpaceX promised to spend about $30 million (that’s 500 million rand!) to give FREE high-speed internet to 5,000 rural schools. That helps over 2.4 MILLION kids every year learn better, get jobs later, and have a brighter future. Real help for the people who need it most! Starlink already works in about 24 other African countries. Villages there now have internet for school, doctors, and business. South Africa’s villages are missing out because of these racist rules. Elon isn’t asking for special favors. He just wants fair play so Starlink can connect everyone fast. Internet = education, jobs, hope. Why hold back millions of kids over rules that pick by race and color?
Keith Keating, once an employee of the SAPS, is at the centre of what is being called the service's biggest corruption scandal ever. It is estimated that Keating and his associates have stolen R50 billion over a 20-year period, marking a staggering betrayal of public trust.
Give me one reason why you hate the Borderless Africa idea..,
