@zoomafrika1 And would it make any difference to anything?? People would still go hungry if not more so

If Africa unites, who'd be the president of the United States of Africa?

@hlovo_ That is why, as an example, why democracy as an ideology does suit or perform well in Africa.

Knowing our history in SA as a black person and still voting for a white-lead party like the DA is still so insane for me.

@LBGamestips SA is known for apartheid 2.0

What is the one thing SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦 known for?

South Africa won’t allow Starlink to be licensed, even though I was BORN THERE, simply because I am not Black! We were offered many times the opportunity to bribe our way to a license by pretending that a Black guy runs Starlink SA, but I have refused to do so on principle. Racism should not be rewarded no matter to which race it is applied. Shame on the racist politicians in South Africa. They should be shown no respect whatsoever anywhere in the world and shunned for being unashamedly RACISTS!

@Mark10049312 France has been suckered, this what the ANC is good at!

💥 PAYDAY! Comredes drooling at the mouth

@lEsethuHasane Comedian?

The ANC remains the only viable option for progressive change in South Africa.

@HistorySAZAR No it has worsened through systemic impoverishing corruption and racist laws that enrich the ANC

Has the life of a Black man in South Africa changed for the better? Photo taken in the late 1940s by the brilliant photographer Constance Stuart.

Last night a 76-year-old man, Trompie Kruger, was brutally assaulted and held up in Kameeldrift-Oos during a violent farm attack. According to reports, there was a struggle in the kitchen and he was repeatedly struck over the head. His son later described the scene as one where there was blood everywhere, even against the kitchen cupboards. His wife and family were inside that home while this happened. Rural safety remains another policing crisis in South Africa. IC

@NolwAzi_Tusini The masters of corruption and colonialism at this point, are there ANC. They are trying to colonise SA by forced decolonisation on racial apartheid 2.0 grounds.

Colonialism = CORRUPTION Apartheid = CORRUPTION These were not benevolent regimes,they weren’t even corrupt regimes, they were the ACTUAL corruption itself. Apartheid and colonialism are the root, the tree and the face of corruption - the full, living expression of moral decay.

Ramaphosa says South Africa does not have race laws, and @elonmusk and Starlink is not excluded because of such laws, but then he also says that Musk and Starlink are welcome to do business in South Africa once they comply with the race laws.

Afriforum should be very proud of itself as a civil rights organisation. It is not a traditional political party, and yet it has had more impact and influence in politics than most political parties have had, and are likely to ever have. It has done more for its constituency than most parties have done, and will ever do for theirs. It has strengthened democracy by consistently holding those in power accountable for poor governance and poorly conceived policy. All freedom-loving South Africans who appreciate the importance of a strong civil society should not entertain the propaganda about it.

@VITO_G_Wagon Yes

A known notorious Drug dealer in Mitchells Plain was arrested, the following day he was released on bail. NPA didn’t oppose bail. A political leader fired a blank firearm into the air in celebration of his party anniversary. NPA charged and prosecuted him. Make it make sense ?

@DailyInvestorSA France is being suckered. This is what the ANC does well...

France is in talks to lend South Africa money to support a program to regenerate its rundown cities, the European country’s ambassador said. dailyinvestor.com/finance/130755…

@joni_askola Your view is a product of your own mind, sadly.

The sheer hypocrisy of Elon Musk is staggering. He demands total freedom for himself but instantly punishes anyone who dares to hold him accountable. You cannot claim to be a neutral defender of the truth when you act like a fragile dictator. What a massive fraud

@VITO_G_Wagon Well... he is offering Starlink but ANC is too arrogant to think of the children

According to FORBES, Elon Musk will be a Trillionaire ($) by April of 2027. With all this money, what has he done for South African poor children ?

@Dzungie007 Ramaphosa

Who in South Africa has completely gotten away with corruption? No consequences, just a free pass.

@NkululekoMhlaba Yes we are all resolute that BEE must go, together with the ANC. We the people of SA would be honoured and thankful to have Starlink.

@NkululekoMhlaba Yes we are resolute that BEE is racist. Apartheid 2.0

South Africa is not divided, we are resolute on B-BBEE. SpaceX will comply, if they want to operate in South Africa.

@pookiepolls @havdh4024 South africa has all the resources to be a world power. Gold, silver, platinum, palladium, tourism sunshine, space agriculture.... The listest carries on. The only one thing that does not have is the people, drive and leadership.

A whole generation of South Africans would be shocked to read this, especially when they look at where the country is today. Before 1994, South Africa built capabilities that few countries in the world could claim. It developed nuclear weapons, a rocket programme, large-scale synthetic fuel production, a globally respected defence industry, and medical breakthroughs that made world history. At the southern tip of Africa, one country achieved all of this before the Cold War had even ended. Today, Africa is often spoken about as if it is still waiting to industrialise, still dependent, still trying to build what others already mastered long ago. That is what makes this history so striking. While South Africa was enriching uranium at Pelindaba, testing rockets at Overberg, producing fuel from coal at Secunda, and carrying out the world’s first human heart transplant at Groote Schuur, much of the rest of Africa was being pulled in a very different direction. Instead of industrial self-reliance, many newly independent states were sold ideology. Instead of building durable technical capacity, they were pushed toward socialist models that too often ended in weak institutions, dependency, and collapse. The pattern repeated itself across the continent. South Africa, by contrast, built real strategic capability under sanctions and international pressure. It developed its own uranium enrichment process, built six nuclear weapons, and then voluntarily dismantled them before the democratic transition, opening its programme to international inspection. No other nuclear state has done that in the same way. It also built a serious rocket programme. Vehicles in the RSA series were designed and tested, and the country came close to having its own orbital launch capability. That programme was not simply paused. It was dismantled. Sasol achieved something equally remarkable: turning coal into fuel on a huge scale. When South Africa could not secure enough oil, it used chemistry and engineering to produce its own supply. That was not theory. It was functioning industrial independence. The defence sector was another pillar of that capability. South Africa designed and produced advanced artillery, armoured vehicles, aircraft projects, and attack helicopters. Some of these systems went on to influence military designs far beyond its borders. Then there was medicine. In 1967, Christiaan Barnard and his team performed the world’s first successful human heart transplant in Cape Town. That was not an isolated achievement. It reflected a wider culture of scientific and medical excellence. So the uncomfortable question is this: if all of this is documented, why is so little of it widely remembered? The answer may be that it does not fit neatly into the version of history most people are taught. Pre-1994 South Africa is rightly remembered for apartheid and injustice, but that is not the whole story. It was also the most technologically advanced state Africa had produced, and acknowledging that forces people to confront how much capability existed, and how much has since been lost. South Africa did not inherit these achievements. It built them under pressure, under sanctions, and largely on its own. That is not nostalgia. It is history. And the fact that so many people barely know it happened says a great deal about how history is told.

@Afri_core @PempheroMphande Yes we remain in our country South Africa. Have you gone home to central Africa yet?

@PempheroMphande you are welcome to insult us much as you want, as long as you remain in your country.

Xenophobic South Africans are the stupidest people in the world. People who are themselves victims of a deeply unequal system are turning on fellow Africans instead of confronting the structural injustices that still exclude them. Attacking and killing your black brothers and sisters from foreign countries will not fix an economy whose foundations remain unequal, will not take the 70% of privately held land from white people and place it in your lazy hands. Wake up. Kudos to all the awakened South Africans who know that foreign black people are not their enemy!
