@TRobinsonNewEra He exaggerates, like he always does, but at least he is taking note of our challenges and trying to help.

President Trump: "We suspended all refugee resettlement, except for persecuted South Africans..
...There's a very horrible thing going on in South Africa, it's a genocide, they kill people if they're white!"

@lindz_makhoba @MbataneMatshaya He owns X. Go feed the children and rural people if you think they need it, but how does that have anything to do with blocking other people who do want Starlink.
English
@BuffaloBull3 @MbataneMatshaya First of all. Musk didn’t invent this app. And secondly? Children and people in the rural areas have more to worry about than that. Infrastructure. Food. Security. What about all that? Do you eat fast internet? No so go cry a river now
English
We must be consistent in telling Elon Musk to fuck off!!!

@Lelam48457081 @MbataneMatshaya You do not have to tell me you know fuckall about technology. You have no clue. Go read something about it, but that is probably too much of an ask.

@BuffaloBull3 @MbataneMatshaya We don't need his kak technology. Why is he forcing it unto us 🤢

@ArthurMacwaters They hate Elon nore than they wish their own people to get out of poverty, purely because he does not quietly accept their racism as "redress".
English
can someone explain what I’m missing?
> internet access is highly correlated with per capita income
> millions of people in South Africa don’t have access to it
> Elon offers to provide free access for thousands of schools, but is blocked by the government
they’re literally stunting their own GDP and hurting their own citizens?!
X Freeze@XFreeze
South Africa has an amazing opportunity to increase its GDP 10x 🇿🇦 If they just simply remove all the racist laws and allow Starlink to operate, the growth potential is massive SpaceX has already committed $28M for Rural Development across 5,000 rural schools in South Africa to accelerate this progress Starlink will literally lift the country’s GDP because high-speed connectivity is the single most important tool for people to participate in the global economy and sell goods and services 🛰️

Even though Wilmientjie and her parents were murdered in 2010 and Sakkie Verster in 2018 and Kosie Botha and Brendin Horner in 2020.. (just to name a few)
I will share their murders every single day if I have to.
No one should ever feel unsafe in their own country.
We as tax paying citizens should not roll over because we don't want to "upset" others. These murders are happening almost weekly.
Chanting for any race to be killed is inhuman!
No one has the right to sing songs about that. Especially not if the words to that "struggle song" gets written by the murderers in blood on the walls of those murdered!
English
I agree .@JMeservey . Both Elon and Tr*mp, especially the latter, are prone to some hyperbole. Sometimes the message about the very real problem of ongoing racial discrimination then gets lost in the resulting furore.
Joshua Meservey@JMeservey
South Africa has race-based laws, lots of them, that are unjust and that burden US companies. I don't particularly like the Apartheid 2.0 framing because SA's current race-based laws don't have the same draconian effects the Apartheid laws did. However, the same poison does lie at the heart of all race-based laws: the idea that race is an essential characteristic. And simply insisting, as the SA government does, that its race-based laws aren't racist because they're "empowering" is word play that doesn't change the reality. Finally, I'm all for certain sanctions on specific South African elites, but it should be done wisely and in a targeted way. Sanctioning the most virulent of them for corruption under Global Magnitsky would be just and popular with South Africans themselves who despise the theft of corruption. CAATSA sanctions might also be applicable for some depending on the exact nature of ANC and government engagements with Hamas, Iran, and Russia.

If true, everyone responsible needs to be held to account, both in the network and in government.
Lisa@Lisa9Sophia
If true, this is the most significant corruption scandal in Australian history Afghan villagers are PAID to testify against war hero Ben Roberts-Smith The villagers are then coached The government in return offers the villagers ASYLUM - which presumably is like winning the lotto - given it involves free housing, a pension and free medical funded by taxpayers for life…

Hi @RediTlhabi: you condemned the American Ambassador for his comments “disrespecting” our courts.
Do you have any comment about a serving MP (who also sits on the JSC) slandering the magistrate who convicted him for committing a crime?
Economic Freedom Fighters@EFFSouthAfrica
♦️Must Watch♦️ Commander-in-Chief and President of the EFF, @Julius_S_Malema, addressing fighters outside the East London Magistrate’s Court. She is the most incompetent magistrate, who read a judgment for three days, something that is never done. She does so because we suspect she does not write her own judgment. #HandsOffMalema

Eminently sensible. Why can some people see it and others are so consumed by hatred they begrudge white people having anything.

Great to see political analyst Prince Mashele critical of BEE. More black South African voices against BEE please! We need more Black South Africans like Prince, Moeletsi Mbeki, and Professor William Gumede criticising BEE. BEE exists for looting purposes. #economy #markets #politics

@MbuyiseniNdlozi Then stop talking smack on his app, waterboy. Fucking hypocrite.

We defeated your racist apartheid parents & their government. We defeated the US & UK regimes that stood with them. With the full might of the people behind the most glorious global human rights campaign in history: the anti-apartheid movement.
We will defeat you too, with your robots & dollars!

If South Africa doesn’t change its super racist Apartheid 2.0 laws, the country must be sanctioned
English
@LordVizo__ Nope, you are not even close. Sanctions are a legitimate non-violent way to pressure a government. Why don't you ask your ANC terrorist buddies how they tried to overthrow a government using an "armed struggle" killing innocent civilians with landmines and bombs.
English
And this is the fundamental problem with white people. They are extremely violent. When you don’t allow them to do whatever the hell they want to do, they throw a tantrum by threatening to destroy thousands of lives simply because you said “No”.

Good analysis.
Megan S.@SimplyMegszcpt
(Re. Malema's public verbal attack on Magistrate Twanet Olivier after judgement was handed down-) Scandalising the Court (Contempt) This is a form of criminal contempt of court. It occurs when a person makes public statements that are "really likely to damage the administration of justice" by bringing the judicial process into disrepute. The Test: Under the landmark S v Mamabolo ruling, the Constitutional Court held that while people have the right to criticise judges, statements that impeach a judge's integrity—such as accusing them of racial bias or being a "white supremacist" without a factual basis—can be criminalised to protect public confidence in the courts. Case Example: In a 2025 case, S v Mdlikiva, a person was prosecuted for making racist and disparaging remarks about a magistrate who had convicted his daughter. 2. Crimen Injuria This crime involves the unlawful and intentional impairment of the dignity of another person. Racist Insults: Using racially derogatory language or making unfounded accusations of racism against a public official can lead to a crimen injuria conviction. Precedent: High-profile cases, such as the conviction of Vicki Momberg for using the k-word against police officers, have established that racist insults are taken extremely seriously by South African courts. 3. Key Distinctions Constructive vs. Malicious: Criticism of a judgment (e.g., "The magistrate misapplied the law") is generally legal. However, personal attacks on the magistrate’s character (e.g., "The magistrate is a white supremacist") are often viewed as malicious and intended to undermine the court's authority. Truth as a Defense: If a person can prove their statement is true and in the public interest, it may serve as a defense. However, making such a serious allegation against a judicial officer without evidence is highly likely to result in criminal charges. Note on Recent Events: In April 2026, Julius Malema called a magistrate's judgment "racist" after being found guilty of firearm charges. While political figures often use such rhetoric, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) can choose to prosecute these instances as contempt if they believe the comments pose a "real and direct threat" to the administration of justice. @NPA_Prosecutes @afriforum 🇿🇦

@UlrichJvV @elonmusk We do want it, you don't have to use it if you do not want to. It is just funny how you have no issue paying him to talk sh*t on this platform. Hypocrite much?

@elonmusk I have learnt not to 2nd guess you, so we may be heading there, but what happens during the transition? People are losing their jobs and livelihoods now, without any government safety net.

Stop with the "but the other US companies .....". Why is Starlink set a different barriers to entry, why is EEI not good enough in its case?

@AfricaFactsZone Neither Microsoft Amazon or Equinix has any South African shareholding. They comply with BEE through Equity Equivalent Investment, which is exactly what Starlink is offering to do.

@MikeBales At first I thought, why would they halve their usual target market? Then I realized, they did not, as there would be many iTits gifted by loving husbands and boyfriends.
English
Apple announced today that it has developed a breast implant that can store and play music.
The iTit will cost from $499 to $699, depending on cup size, speaker size, and storage capacity.
This is considered a major social breakthrough, because women are always complaining about men staring at their breasts and not listening to them. 😏
