Competition is the basis for evolution. An absence of competition means an absence of evolution

African Foreigners, You call us 'scared' of white people, but you ran from your own broken countries to sit in the one we built and stabilized. We didn't burn South Africa down in 1994 because we weren't interested in inheriting a graveyard; we wanted a functional G20 economy. We are playing a long, legal game, there's a reason why mandela told us to become educated, we're using B-BBEE and land acts to strip away white monopoly power without killing the currency. You come here, undercut our labor, and dominate our townships, then wonder why we’re angry? We spent decades bleeding for this soil while you watched from afar. Now, you drain our clinics and schools while our own youth remain jobless. It isn't 'blame'; it’s a fact that you are a burden on a recovery you didn't fight for. We are reclaiming our land and resources through the system, not through the chaos that ruined the rest of the continent. If we are 'scared,' why are you all still here?

@YSL_TT Negotiations should be done to have Lesotho,Swaziland,Namibia and Botswana part of SA. A large country and in 50 years our population should be +300M people.

In our day and age,women are not looking for love,they're looking for a bailout and they have identified "nerds" as their federal reserve You have "too big to fail," well women believe they're "too beautiful to fail" so someone must rescue(serve) them.

This “date the nerd” strategy is just another way to catch submissive Black men. Black men who don’t CHALLENGE the rank and file. Men who come in with an open heart and wallet. 🇺🇸👸🏾👎🏾

The Engineer Speaks We are being sold a mirage. South Africa calls its renewable energy rollout a "green industrial revolution." But the truth is far more sobering: it is a construction project, not an industrial strategy. We import the high-value components—solar panels, inverters, turbines—from China and Germany. We contribute the civil works, the steel structures, and the assembly labour. Then we call it "local content." The engineering—the research, the innovation, the intellectual property—happens elsewhere(Offshore). This is not a path to reindustrialisation. It is a repetition of our oldest economic wound: exporting raw capacity and importing finished value. For a young person considering engineering, what incentive exists here? To design cutting-edge power electronics? To develop next-generation battery storage? Those careers do not exist in this country. The industry does not require a nation of engineers. It requires project managers, construction crews, and technicians. So the talented leave. Or they abandon engineering for finance. And the cycle of deindustrialisation continues. Compare this to what South Africa has done before. SASOL did not simply import technology under sanctions—it built world-leading, indigenous chemical engineering capability from the ground up. The automotive sector spent decades building a genuine components supply chain. That was industrialisation. That was a bet on local brains and local capacity. Today, we have the minerals—platinum, manganese, vanadium—that the green economy runs on. But we export them raw, only to import the finished products. We host the infrastructure while others capture the knowledge. A renewable energy boom that does not manufacture, does not innovate, and does not create high-end engineering careers is not a driver for industrialisation. It is a missed opportunity disguised as progress. Until we demand localisation of value, not just weight. Until we leverage our mineral wealth for technology transfer. Until we invest in strategic R&D with the same ambition that built SASOL (Fischer tropsch process)—the incentive structure for engineering will remain broken. And the sadness of watching a country deindustrialise in real time will only deepen. Engineer Matshela Koko 🇿🇦

Do you guys understand that the economy must first grow for the employed before the unemployed. We need new factories, new industries, new firms, a shift of the curve not growth along the curve.

The number of young people sitting at home watching their most productive years get stolen by unemployment is so troubling. When the coping mechanisms of sports betting or alcohol begin to dissipate we can going to be left with a huge number of young people with nothing to lose.

“The majority of South Africans are unemployed because they’re unemployable, they’re unemployable because they don’t have the necessary skills to drive a modern economy. We boast about having so many people on the SASSA social welfare program as if it’s an achievement whereas it’s a failure.” - President Thabo Mbeki 🇿🇦

@Vhoyde Karma is very real, scientifically its called cause and effect. You reap what you sow, its nature, you cannot plant bananas and expect apples.
