South Africa cannot be the dumping grounds of the world, and must hold countries accountable for the crisis they create on our borders that exacerbate our immigration crisis.

Both blacks and whites would unite in their condemnation. There's no outrage because the carriers of the hanta virus are Caucasians. Blacks can never condemn their masters. White will never condemn their folks.

If the patient was an African with Ebola and airlifted to Johannesburg, the outrage we would be seeing from a certain sector of the population would be out of this world. But we are here.

@JacintaNgobese @Lenox77839601 All these vigilante groups are led by fools.
Africa has a population of about 1.5 billion; that population wouldn’t fit into South Africa, even in your delusional scenario.
In any case, African unity doesn’t mean everyone congregating in one country.

Name two African countries that would be great for Africa to Unite in besides South Africa ???

@ChillHouseSOL @Credo_II Rage baiting Nigerians for engagement is the new norm.

We have removed Chill House from Nigeria and IP banned the entire region.
The first thing I would like to say is I have nothing against Nigeria. I have a ton of friends from this region and these were some of our earliest adopters. Genuinely, thank you all for the support.

For once, we support Nigerian fraudsters.
Your app is highly exploitative, asking poverty stricken people to upload their personal data and biometrics for a few cents. You sell that data for huge profits to big AI companies while paying your users a few cents.

We have removed Kled from the Nigerian app store and IP banned the entire region. The first thing I would like to say is I have nothing against Nigeria. I have a ton of friends from this region and these were some of our earliest app adopters. Genuinely, thank you all for the support. Kled has been up and running and out of beta for 4 months now. We have paid out hundreds of thousands of people for their data, and our users have uploaded over 1 billion assets onto our platform. After several months of uploads we found that Nigeria had a ≈95% fraud rate. Instead of real, usable data, users were uploading pictures of black screens, duplicate photos, internet generated images, AI generated images, etc. at an unimaginable scale. In comparison, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines have a less than 10% fraud rate across 10x the userbase size. Our fraud system is fast to catch these issues but the level of complexity of these schemes is getting out of hand. This weekend we were flooded with thousands of fake Japanese passports and identity cards with Nigerians photoshopped onto them in our KYC system. That was the final straw. As a startup we can't afford to eat the costs of that data overhead, so we temporarily removed the app from the region while we improved our fraud detection and banning system to quickly filter out bad actors when the time is right. On top of all of this, every time we make a post there is someone asking us to bring the region back within seconds. We hear you, but it's gotten out of hand. We've made this decision with great care. We love everyone who has genuinely supported Kled from Nigeria, and we hope to return when the time is right. -Kled Team

@zizipho50 How is @SAPoliceService allowing this extortion to go on unabated? This is extortion caught on camera.

@africanscribe @DadaMorero Can you share the list here and let the mayor respond or ignore publicly?

We reported this building and many others to you years ago. A state owned property at 24 Milner Crescent has been stripped to a shell. Somebody get a nice security income for protecting what is no longer there. 220 Kitchener Avenue actually set the house on fire to hi jack it and the occupants are politically connected and can reconnect their illegal electricity connection faster than you can say city of Joburg Failure! If you told us you were coming we could have supplied a list.

CURRENTLY UNFOLDING IN KENSINGTON: hijacked buildings in Johannesburg expose the city's struggles while also presenting a chance for renewal and action.
For years, abandoned and neglected structures have been exploited by criminal gangs, turning into unsafe, overcrowded spaces lacking basic services jeopardising lives and compromising residents' dignity.

In December, the High Court ordered Govt to release the findings of the Uchena Commission, an inquiry into state land deals that may have cost Zimbabwe US$3 billion. The court gave Govt 90 days to release the report. The President has now finally ordered the report’s release

President Mnangagwa has ordered the Justice Tendai Uchena Commission of Inquiry into the sale of State land in urban areas across the country’s 10 provinces since 2005 to make its findings public through formal publication.

The frustration we are seeing today is because of porous boarders.
Everyone needs to be documented, just like all of us.

I don’t believe in open boarders……we are too far gone into the country system and everyone needs to be accounted for. I think open boarder advocacy is a bit delulu at this stage in history

TAKULANDIRANI KU MALAWI...The WARM HEART of AFRICA !!! Yesterday, I was profoundly HONOURED to pay a brief courtesy call on His Excellency, Dr. LAZARUS MCCARTHY CHAKWERA at the iconic State House in Blantyre. A leader of CALM conviction and razor‑sharp THOUGHT, President Chakwera speaks with eloquence, listens with depth and governs with a PRAYERFUL heart. He is a man of God and accomplished scholar, who has brought the same spiritual depth and moral clarity from the PULPIT 🙏 to the PRESIDENCY. His leadership invites trust and exudes humility, which are very RARE leadership qualities in today’s world. Under President Chakwera’s VISIONARY and astute stewardship, Malawi has experienced unprecedented ECONOMIC growth. He has presided over an administration which gets things done. Talk of his inauguration of the 60 MW Salima (Kanzimbe) Solar Plant, the sprawling network of over 100 INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS, commissioning of the new, STATE OF THE ART International Blantyre Cancer Centre (IBCC) and the strategic REHABILITATION of the M1 corridor all in one PRESIDENTIAL TERM !!! Without a shadow of doubt , the transformation of Malawi is evidently in safe hands. With the GREAT nation of Malawi set to hold its general elections in September 2025, I have no DOUBT in my mind that the MALAWI CONGRESS PARTY will soon be celebrating another decisive and inevitable LANDSLIDE victory. I am not a PROPHET but I certainly know that when a Country’s leadership delivers through dedicated SERVICE to its people and DELIVERYING on its electoral promises, the electorate responds positively. This explains why even in Zimbabwe, President E.D. Mnangagwa’s administration has performed so EXCEPTIONALLY well that the electorate would rather have the President in office until 2030 !! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🦁🦁🦁🐊🐊🐊🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼 Your Excellency, President Chakwera, my HEARTFELT gratitude for accommodating me in your busy schedule and for our ENRICHING dialogue on various huge infrastructure development projects readily available for investors to develop and implement. Mr President, Malawi is VERY fortunate to have you 👏👏👏. #President_Chakwera #Malawi_Congress_Party #Infrastructure_Transformation #Malawi_2025 #Warm_Heart_Of_Africa

KAZI INAENDELEA 🇹🇿… Yesterday, my wife and I had the pleasure of paying a COURTESY CALL on H. E. PRESIDENT SAMIA SULUHU HASSAN at State House in DAR ES SALAAM 🇹🇿. We were received with MOTHERLY HUMILITY that one immediately understands why Tanzanians take PRIDE in having her as their President 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 MAMA SAMIA’s administration has hit the GROUND RUNNING, demonstrating that it is a Government that knows exactly where it is taking its people. One can already see the UNMISTAKABLE signs of a leadership determined to deepen INVESTOR CONFIDENCE through major policies which have placed Tanzania as a leading centre of COMMERCE and TOURISM in Eastern Africa. Our discussion was wide-ranging and touched on potential INVESTMENT in critical sectors such as healthcare, agriculture, water treatment, RENEWABLE ENERGY and other areas of strategic importance to Africa’s future. This is the kind of DISCIPLINED and FORWARD-LOOKING LEADERSHIP that reassures citizens that more stable and prosperous days lie ahead. There is also something profoundly reassuring about leadership in the hands of a woman of such great WISDOM and MATERNAL INSTINCT. Her Excellency carries the authority of a STATESWOMAN, yet one can clearly sense the natural disposition of a mother. She is a leader who INSTINCTIVELY understands that the duty of Government is to CARE, PROTECT and UPLIFT her people. That rare combination of STRENGTH and COMPASSION is precisely why Tanzania is set to witness UNPRECEDENTED socio-economic development under her stewardship. History will remember MAMA SAMIA as a DISTINGUISHED LEADER whose leadership under CCM will result in phenomenal economic growth for TANZANIA !!! Following our visit, we had the pleasure of touring the SERENGETI GAME RESERVE, one of Africa’s most BREATHTAKING natural treasures. With its vast wildlife, rich flora and fauna & unmatched beauty, it stands as Tanzania’s immense natural wealth and untapped investment potential. Asante sana Mama Rais. Wewe ni kiongozi wa MAONO, na Tanzania iko salama mikononi mwako. 🇹🇿🙏🏾 #MamaSamia #Kazi_Inaendelea #CCM #Serengeti #The_Jewel_Of_Africa

UONGOZI WA KIWANGO CHA JUU……… Leadership PAR EXCELLENCE 🇰🇪!!! Despite the many OPPORTUNITIES and the PRIVILEGE that I have had to meet with H.E. President WILLIAM RUTO on various occasions, every visit feels like the VERY FIRST. This man carries an unexplainable AURA and a kind of LEADERSHIP PRESENCE of its own kind. Yesterday, I had yet another humbling occasion to pay a COURTESY visit on PRESIDENT RUTO at State House in Nairobi 🇰🇪. We engaged extensively on ENERGY, a sector that we are mutually PASSIONATE about and that is CRUCIAL to the DEVELOPMENT of Kenya and Africa at large. I was particularly IMPRESSED by the President’s vision to see Kenya generate at least 12,000MW of electricity by 2030 through cutting-edge renewable energy technologies such as solar, hydropower, geothermal and gas-to-power. While Kenya already stands out as one of Africa’s most SUCCESSFUL case studies in expanding energy access through an advanced energy mix, President Ruto’s PASSIONATE belief remains that access to electricity is a RIGHT, not a privilege. This is the driving force behind Kenya’s aggressive push for UNIVERSAL ACCESS to electricity in line with the United Nation’s SDG No. 7. With President E. D. Mnangagwa set to assume the Chairmanship of COMESA in 2026, we reflected on REGIONAL energy collaboration opportunities through PPP-based infrastructure projects, which will catalyse industrial growth in both Kenya and Zimbabwe. President Ruto continues to CHAMPION the Energy 300 Initiative for Africa and under his able leadership, Kenya is now ranked as the FIFTH LARGEST and most developed economy in Africa !!! Kenya has become my SECOND HOME and the more time I spend in the presence of eminent leaders like PRESIDENT RUTO, the clearer it becomes that KENYA’s future is in safe hands. Asante sana Mr. President 🙏🏼 #President_William_Ruto #Kenya_Rising #Inclusive_Leadership

@Palesa_EFF01 Should we be worried about the superior logic of EFF supporters or you are engagement farming ? His explanation of insourcing is spot on. What are you disputing? It's people like you who give the impression that the EFF is out of touch with reality. You do a disservice to the EFF

What is he saying Insourcing is? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 He learned the behaviour from the leader can't think and talk at the same time

I put on my fraud detection hat whenever I see a 22 year old Tech bro who supposedly dropped out of college to fund an AI startup. In this case, what I found about this Kled guy is incredibly disturbing.
K5 Global is Kled’s lead investor. K5 Global is a firm that frequently invests alongside the Palantir and Thiel network. Another Kled backer, Aglaé Ventures, owned by Bernard Arnault, has a massive AI portfolio that intersects with the same labs that Palantir’s AIP integrates with.
Basically, Kled is the Data Harvester for Palantir. Their job is to mobilize hundreds of thousands of gig workers, mostly from the Global South, to upload personal photos, videos, and documents. They convert raw human life into a machine readable product. Their clients like Palantir act as the Data Refinery. Palantir’s software, specifically Foundry and AIP, is designed to take that data and make it actionable for governments and corporations to put into global surveillance and military use.
We can safely conclude that this Kled guy and other similar AI startups harvesting user data are human meat shields. They are specifically set up and funded to do the dirty work for Silicon Valley tech empires.
Understand that these Large AI labs are currently being sued by artists, writers, and publishers for stealing data through web scraping. To win these court cases, OpenAI and Palantir need to prove they have clean, consented data. Buying a dataset from Kled, where every user signed a 50 page digital consent form in exchange for $20, gives these billion dollar tech companies a free pass.
Also, imagine if Palantir, a company already criticized for government surveillance and US military war campaigns, offered to pay people in developing countries to film their living rooms and daily activities. It would look like a global surveillance network. By using Kled as a middleman, they get the same data but keep their hands clean in the public eye.
Even though we cannot verify his claim of Nigerians defrauding his company, what we can verify is that he is an industry plant. He is set up to allow AI data labs to continue harvesting user data for global surveillance and military use.
