@ShareenSingh8 Cuban welders and electrical (high voltage) Engineers would be a sterling supplement to the mix

@daddyhope One cannonlh imagine what Zimbabwean technology is available to compete with western norms Chinese or Korean...

This is why I always say that it is foolhardy for African leaders to think they can evade Western intelligence systems while using Western-owned technology platforms such as Gmail, Starlink, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, X, Apple devices, Android systems, and Western banking infrastructure. A significant amount of information about African leaders, including their movements, communications, private lives, business dealings, and networks, is potentially accessible through the technology ecosystem they depend on every day. It is not always about traditional spies hiding behind bushes or inside embassies anymore. Modern intelligence gathering is deeply tied to data, metadata, satellite systems, telecommunications infrastructure, cloud computing, and digital platforms largely owned or controlled by Western corporations. Now there is growing evidence showing how users of systems like Starlink can potentially be tracked and identified geographically. If a president or senior government official uses such technology at a private farm, residence, or meeting location, sophisticated intelligence systems can potentially determine where they are, who they are communicating with, and patterns around those communications. This is the reality of the digital age. Africa consumes technology, but does not control the infrastructure behind it, and that creates a massive strategic vulnerability.

@Ndaba_2025 That's when unemployment increased you fool

Jacob Zuma Economy was the most best economy for black people, that is why it’s considered as the worst corrupt. Because it favoured black people.!!

In April 2026, the city recovered R450 million and secured R97 million in payment arrangements under #TshwaneYaTima.

Malatsi eyes BEE rule change that will clear path for Musk’s Starlink – with or without Icasa brnw.ch/21x2rkb

@PSAFLIVE What a terribly sick joke !!!

BREAKING NEWS: South Africa National Defense Force (SANDF) is at the hands of a Ghanaian foreigner “Edem Abotsi” who is an acting CFO, he is a current Chief Director of Financial Services based in Defense Head Quarters Armscor building in Erasmuskloof. He has been acting for 18 months, one of the reasons why illegal miners will never be dealt with, SANDF is controlled by foreigners.

@Zwelinzima1 GEAR under Mbeki makes sense now? Or you still hellbent on thinking communist policies bring growth & development or any wealth creation? Of course numbers don't lie! The more socialist or communist the policies the higher the unemployment - have you noticed the correlation?

Numbers don’t lie

@vigilantersa @Starlink YES . I WANT STARlink

South Africans, do you want @Starlink ?

Ukraine is now intercepting around 90% of Russian drones and nearly 80% of cruise missiles despite Moscow intensifying its air attacks, Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said. kyivpost.com/post/75934

@DadaMorero Am delighted to report that the Mayor has instructed for a proper TLB to continue demolitions. The deployment of the beast will ensure rapid decimation of illegal structures & enclosures. May it continue to be deployed on every single street throughout CBD

@DadaMorero At least upgrade the TLB to do the real work, that little machine is going to be a struggle - and start demolition of illegal structuresbor encroachments from roof to the ground.

Demolishing unauthorized structures at Small Street. WE ARE NOT FOLDING ✊

@matigary A store run illegally by an illegal Ethiopian and an illegal Zimbabwean salesman They will all be sorted out as enthusiastic South Africans take charge of the infringements of SA LAW by foreigners .. Tick tock ... tick tock ... one by one SA will be cleaned

Ngizwe Mchunu walked into an electronics store run by an Ethiopian in Joburg and said to the salesmen: "I want that tv."The salesperson shook his head and said, "No, we don't sell to Zulus." So he left and came back dressed like a Venda and said: "I'll take that tv." Again the salesman said: "No, we don't sell to Zulus." So he left again and came back dressed like a Xhosa and said: "I want that tv." But the salesman still said: "No, we don't sell to Zulus." Finally he got fed up and said, "That's it! How'd you know I was a Zulu?!" he asked. The salesman answered: "Cause that's a microwave.”

The RAF Act must be amended!!! South Africans can’t be burdened by high fuel levies that benefits foreigners that should have travel insurance when coming to SA.

@matinyarare What pathetic lies and propaganda MUGABE WAS A THIEF ! AND ALL MEMBERS OF ZANUPF ALSO THIEVES STOP LYING . MUGABE BUILT F-ALL

𝗠𝗨𝗚𝗔𝗕𝗘 𝗩𝗦 𝗠𝗡𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗔𝗚𝗪𝗔. Between 1980 and 2000, Mugabe built 8,600 km of roads, electrified 30% of Zimbabwe’s railway system, and bought over 80 locomotives for the national railways. He also built 5,700 schools. All of this was done while fighting a war against apartheid South Africa in Mozambique for 8 years, fighting sanctions imposed by the apartheid government, and dealing with ESAP in the 1990s. Even under sanctions between 2000 and 2017, he built 15 universities, 12 poly technics, 10 nursing colleges and resurfaced the Bulawayo–Harare, Mutare–Harare, and Plumtree–Mutare roads. That’s over 1,300 km completed under sanctions. President Mnangagwa has failed to fix the railways. He has failed to finish the 586 km Beitbridge–Harare road. He has not built one university. Why should we give Mnangagwa another 2 years?

@JoburgMPD @Abramjee @CityofJoburgZA @DadaMorero @GP_CommSafety @PublicSafetyMMC @SAPoliceService @TrafficRTMC @GTP_Traffstats @CoJPublicSafety @Jaca_Patrick Hopefully the police get someone to prepare fruit salads for peeps that have nothing or very little to eat ... instead of dumping it at the dump

Selling fruits & vegetables from a trolley, the back of your bakkie or truck on the streets/roads & pavements is illegal informal trading. It endangers lives, obstructs traffic, and puts everyone at risk. Let's keep our streets safe and follow the law. Perishable & non-perishable goods impounded!!! #BuyaMthethoManjeNamhlanje #JoburgByLaws

@EFFSouthAfrica Why would you complain about neighbours sharing access to each other's homes..? What happens after 9pm should not be the concern of the city, which neighbours be engaging or indulging each other's wives / girl friends through obtaining access to each unit with some key type

#MALEMA: How do you say you’re building us houses and then you put the same key for all RDP Houses? Do you know that all RDP Houses, their key is Y9? ALL OF THEM! #RegisterToVoteEFF

🚨 NOTICIA DE ÚLTIMA HORA QUE ESTÁ MOVIENDO AL MUNDO Vladimir Putin acaba de declarar que la guerra en Ucrania está a punto de terminar. Tras el éxito rotundo del presidente Trump, quien logró un masivo intercambio de prisioneros y un alto el fuego temporal, Putin afirmó con claridad: “Creo que el conflicto en Ucrania se dirige hacia una conclusión.” Trump ya adelantó que retomará las conversaciones definitivas para cerrar la guerra tan pronto como se concrete el acuerdo con Irán.

I think it’s unfair for immigrants from nations that gained independence earlier to compete with a nation that gained independence later over its informal sector. What did we use our freedom for?

[BREAKING] Gauteng Hawks head, Major-General Ebrahim Kadwa, has been arrested. Tune in to #eNCA #DStv403.

@daddyhope Its derelict because of Iain Smith . Mugabe had this functioning well like an acclaimed piece of NASA - even more efficient than Japanese, Chinese or Koreans. Pity Mugabe didn't live longer to relish in the fulk extent of a remarkable Zimbabwean economy

This is the Zimbabwe Iron and Steel Company, commonly known as ZISCO Steel, as it stands today. It was once one of the most important industrial projects in Africa and arguably the pride of Zimbabwe’s industrial economy. It was the backbone of Zimbabwe’s industrialisation and the economic heartbeat of Redcliff and much of Kwekwe. ZISCO Steel was Africa’s second largest integrated steelworks after South Africa’s ISCOR during its peak years. Today, it is dead, thanks to ZANUPF’s corruption, mismanagement, looting, and destruction of Zimbabwe’s industrial economy. At its peak, ZISCO was the economic engine of Redcliff, a small town outside Kwekwe in the Midlands province. The town was built around the steelworks in the same way mining towns are built around mines. The company directly employed around 8,000 workers, while Redcliff’s population during its strongest industrial years was roughly 30,000 to 40,000 people. That means ZISCO directly employed somewhere between a third and nearly half of the economically active adult population of Redcliff. And if one includes contractors, transporters, suppliers, downstream industries, municipal workers, shops, schools, and family dependants, the majority of households in Redcliff depended on ZISCO in one way or another. Today, this once mighty industrial giant is a graveyard of collapsed infrastructure, rusting machinery, silence, rodents, and snakes. A place that once roared with blast furnaces, engineering activity, trains, and thousands of workers is now a monument to national decline. A ZANUPF legacy of repeated failures. Built in 1942 by the Rhodesians, ZISCO survived sanctions, war, and political transition, only to be destroyed under ZANUPF rule through corruption, political patronage, incompetence, and systematic looting. It would have been one thing if they had stolen from the company while keeping it alive. Instead, they destroyed it completely. To understand how significant ZISCO was, you have to understand the Zimbabwean economy of the 1980s and 1990s. Zimbabwe was one of Africa’s most industrialised economies after South Africa. ZISCO supplied steel to construction, railways, mining, engineering, manufacturing, and agriculture. Entire industries depended on it. If you were building factories, bridges, railway lines, machinery, or commercial infrastructure, ZISCO products were everywhere in such projects. The collapse of ZISCO was not just the collapse of a company. It was the collapse of an industrial ecosystem, the destruction of thousands of livelihoods, and one of the clearest symbols of Zimbabwe’s deindustrialisation under ZANUPF. This is why many Zimbabweans are opposed to extending the rule of the same political establishment that authored this Shakespearean tragedy. ZISCO is not alone, it is one of more than 1,000 big companies Zimbabwe has lost through corruption, economic collapse, deindustrialisation, grand incompetence, policy instability, and the destruction of what was once one of Africa’s strongest industrial economies under ZANUPF rule. Sadly, today Zimbabwe does not have a coherent opposition movement or leadership to speak of. Those who are perceived to be opposition figures are largely quiet about national tragedies such as ZISCO Steel. Even if you go through their timelines and public statements, many rarely speak about these issues or confront the destruction of the country’s industrial base. That is part of the tragedy. And it is this political vacuum, weak opposition politics, and silence that has emboldened President Emmerson Mnangagwa and ZANUPF to even contemplate extending his rule beyond what is required by law. Meanwhile, ordinary Zimbabweans continue to narrate painful stories of national collapse like ZISCO, company after company closes, industries disappear, towns decay, young people leave the country, and yet nothing meaningful comes out of it politically. That is the real tragedy of modern Zimbabwe. Narratives like mine have now largely become sources of entertainment, read, shared, debated, and consumed emotionally, but without any meaningful political consequences or action. People react with outrage for a few hours, maybe a few days, and then move on to the next tragedy while the country continues collapsing in plain sight.
