@vinnymonaheng23 @daddyhope Oh he always does, almost a on daily basis. A simple glance at his posts history will show you that. It's only that you get so triggered about South Africa you overlook some of his opinion pieces

@CarlRiddick1 @daddyhope When will he raise points about Zimbabwe? That’s my issue he is so invested in us he forgot Zimbabwe has a dictator that has extended his rule..

Doesn’t South Africa have competent Black business journalists? Looking at this promotional image, it is difficult not to ask why there appears to be no Black representation in a country where the overwhelming majority of the population is Black and where there is no shortage of talented Black business reporters, editors and analysts. Representation alone is not the measure of excellence, but a newsroom that seeks to understand and report on South Africa’s economy should also reflect the diversity of the society it serves.

@Mswenkofonteiin @daddyhope Comprehension is not your forte, huh?

@daddyhope so if Zimbabweans have all the wealth and land why are they still illegally flocking to South Africa on a daily? 🤔

Black people in southern Africa are, to a significant extent, products of the environments in which they were raised. South Africans grew up under apartheid, while Zimbabweans grew up under the Rhodesian Front’s Unilateral Declaration of Independence. Both systems deliberately restricted opportunities for the black majority, although apartheid in South Africa was more comprehensive and brutal in its legal and social engineering. People’s ambitions are shaped by what they are exposed to. A child raised in a home filled with books, encouraged to think critically and to dream beyond their immediate surroundings, is far more likely to aspire to become an entrepreneur, scientist, engineer or innovator than a child who has never been shown those possibilities. In Zimbabwe, the liberation struggle was closely associated with the demand for land. Acquiring land was seen as the ultimate, but there was never a sufficiently coherent national plan for what would come after redistribution. The result is visible today, vast areas of farmland lie idle or are being underutilised, while some of the most productive farms operate because they have been leased back to experienced white farmers. Land ownership alone does not create prosperity; knowledge, capital, skills, markets and sound management do. In South Africa, many people direct their energy towards competing for low-paying jobs such as waiting tables, driving or other forms of unskilled labour, sometimes even turning against fellow Africans in the process. That is not because they lack ability. It is because those are the opportunities they have been exposed to and taught to pursue. Yet there is another reality. The Zimbabwean who, in 2000, looked beyond simply owning a piece of land may today be in New York with a successful business, or in Silicon Valley developing the software and technologies that millions of people use every day on their phones and computers. They are super wealthy! Likewise, the South African who was encouraged to read, to innovate and to think globally may now be leading a multinational company, sitting in a boardroom at the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, or running a successful enterprise somewhere else in the world. The difference is often not intelligence. It is exposure, aspiration and the belief that a much bigger world exists beyond the limitations imposed by history. That is why I am reluctant to judge people whose ambitions look small. Many Zimbabweans were conditioned to believe that owning land was the pinnacle of success. Many South Africans were conditioned to believe that securing a low-paying job was the ultimate achievement. Those aspirations were shaped by history, not by a lack of potential. The real challenge for Africa is to expand people’s horizons. We need to teach young people that the world is far bigger than the village, the township or the farm. The global economy rewards innovation, entrepreneurship, science, technology, finance and creativity on a scale that previous generations could scarcely imagine. The greatest form of liberation is therefore not merely political or economic. It is mental. Once people understand that there are opportunities worth billions beyond the narrow ambitions that history confined them to, they stop fighting over crumbs and begin creating their own tables. We are still so backward that there are some Africans, even in Zimbabwe and South Africa, who wonder how an African who looks like them can own homes in Harare, Johannesburg, London and Massachusetts. They see those things as extraordinary symbols of success. Yet, in the real world, owning property is often just the beginning, the basic foundation. It reflects what they have been exposed to. They think a man who owns 4 or 5 properties around the world is super wealthy, not realising that this is the minimum many people should aspire to. The goal should not simply be to own a home, but to build beyond that and strive for far greater achievements.

@vinnymonaheng23 @daddyhope Touched a nerve? He raised valid points and here you are crying like a little bitch. Opinions transcend borders that's just how the world works whether you like it or not. You need to be more involved in your own economy, that's what he's just trying convey hahaha 😂😂

@daddyhope This idiot on South African affairs again.. what a joke..

@BlaqDesign @tajouxyz His third year is the upcoming season, can you at least wait and see how he performs? His first year was good and he deserves to be given time because he's still young and still years away from this prime

@tajouxyz It's his 3rd year now and he hasn't made any improvements in his game and that's worrying.

Ayden Heaven has always been twice the player Yoro is but United fans keep pampering Yoro because they don't want to admit snatching him from Madrid was not a successful steal.

@HoChiMin001 @brunfocused You clearly don't know what that f*ck you are talking about, better shut the hell up

@brunfocused This was based on the premise that we deny you a chance to live then kick you all out. That way you'll infect each other peacefully in zim and nigeria

The stupidity of thinking this would only negatively impact foreigners and have zero effect on the locals? It’s a Communicable disease !!! You think people who are about to have sex ask for each other’s VISA ?😂😂

@LunguTwala @TrevorNcube You have taken words right out of my mouth. Zimbabweans are quite a strange bunch

@TrevorNcube Men in Zimbabwe seem really focused on FIFA and snooker. Meanwhile, the women are engaged in mountain prayers. It feels like they might not even notice the changing political situation in their country. Ultimately, this generation just wants to be in the ark.

Fascinating. CAB3 becomes law and the only spontaneous celebrations in Zimbabwe broke out in… Parliament. The beneficiaries applauding the benefactors. The elite toasting the elite. Outside, the masses continued their life of existence — too busy surviving to celebrate their own dispossession. The anger is palpable. The fear keeps it quiet. For now. This is not progress. This is not stability. These are the seeds of something worse.

@DandaroOnline It's Herrington not Harrington

#dandarosports Australia's No. 25, Lukas Harrington, has Zimbabwean ancestry and is also identified as Zimbabwean. According to Makomborero Mutimukulu, Harrington wanted to represent the Zimbabwe Warriors but never got the chance after officials at ZIFA allegedly demanded a bribe. Now he's representing the Socceroos at the World Cup. If true, it's another painful reminder that sometimes we stand in our own way. Follow Our WhatsApp Channel: whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va…

@Andrekjei @Cde_begar @HonMachakaire Never underestimate the stupidity of humans

@Cde_begar @HonMachakaire 🤣🤣 Zimbabweans are so upsetting, people will run to a rally in hopes of getting a hamper that won’t even last a week,but on their way there they were jumping over sewages, don’t have water, unemployed but will clap loudly for a hamper 🤣

🔶On Friday, Watch👇🏽 Hon. Tino Machakaire @HonMachakaire lifting off in a luxurious Bell-206L Long Ranger helicopter (Reg: Z-TRN) after attending the burial of the revered Gogo Rashamira, a beloved elder and devoted member of the Mugodhi Apostolic Church in Rashamira Village under Chief Nyamande, Gutu. 🔸 While he takes to the skies in extravagant style, the rest of you are left grounded, drowning in the very poverty he seems to fly right over.

@Shadaya_Knight Gents, don't take this dude's silly comment seriously. Being present and supportive of your wife during child birth is the most manly thing you can ever do. Shunning that responsibility is what weak men do

That's the difference between men of old and the modern man When most of you were birthed, your father's weren't even present, they were busy working. Because that's the most important thing a father can do for his wife and child - to work What's the point of a man being present at the birth of a child? Standing outside the maternity ward just pacing around like a mad man. Or let's say you even get inside, what can you possibly do besides hold her hand, saying "push" as if the nurses can't do that This is the World Cup, it's your country at war with other nations. You're no different from a soldier on the frontlines saying I need to be excused so I can go see my wife giving birth This is the current state of modern men, just emotional decisions, to appear good to a female biased society OVER their duty.

@ThaboNk21754989 @Owishemwe Your opinions mean nothing when you all you come up with is silly emotional takes and childish insults, you lil' twat

@CarlRiddick1 @Owishemwe My opinions are mind over matter something beyond your level if comprehension, something zimbaboons and zoogerians won't dare understand unfortunately.

We don’t beat and kill them, we simply deport them. Thats the difference

@ThaboNk21754989 @Owishemwe I think the only shithole here is your brains, clearly. Read slowly what you just wrote and if you do, you would agree that your opinion doesn't really matter because you have no capacity to think clearly and logically. Just raw emotions based on frustration, failure & ignorance

@Owishemwe I doesn't matter, thise fireigners have countries too where they too have closed borders and don't care if you are African or not. So what makes South Africa different? All forefiners must fuck off then! We dont go fuck their shithole countries up!

@M_joanna31 @Shadaya_Knight Speak for yourself, hoping Mexico smack the sh*t out of them. This African brotherhood crap is a fallacy, has never existed and it will never will

@ChumaSamk91253 @DandaroOnline High levels of education? Zimbabwe is nowhere near that level

@DandaroOnline Gosh Zimbabweans with all our high levels of education why are we still steeped in Pocahontas stuff? What happened to embracing science and technology?

@PercyZwane_ @daddyhope People have always migrated since time began and will continue to do so. Get of over it

@daddyhope Exactly my point 🤷‍♂️ did I mention which country this post is based on? I'm actually curious and worried at the same time because Zim leadership is squeezing the life out of its citizens but you guys are more worried about foreign affairs than yours locally

u guys have failed and given up on Zimbabwe to a point that theres not even an ounce of guilt in u that'll drive for you to fight what your government is doing to you all? There's no shame in you that you always have something to say about other country's government except yours?

@big_SAUCEEY @DailyLoud @Julius_S_Malema The only people trashing your economy is your corrupt government that you continuously elect into power. Take accountability of your own failures instead of blaming everything on migrants

@DailyLoud We need this in South Africa as well after we get rid of the millions of undocumented Zimbabweans and Nigerians who are trashing our economy. The US is so progressive @Julius_S_Malema

@daddyhope He truly had strong environmental beliefs that he funded Captain Planet, a cartoon that had a strong anti pollution message. Those grew up in the 90s would remember it. May his soul rest peace

I am saddened to hear of the passing of the man who introduced 24-hour rolling television news to the world, the founder of CNN, Ted Turner. I met him in Atlanta in 2008 and had lunch with him at his beloved Ted’s Montana Grill, where he told us fascinating stories about how CNN started from a bold idea inside his own home. He had a deep fascination with bison because of his environmental beliefs and his desire to protect the planet from climate damage. At that time, he was one of the largest private landowners in the United States and also owned vast tracts of land in Argentina. Ted Turner also donated US$1 billion to the United Nations and became one of the greatest philanthropists of his generation. Sadly, he told me then that he was disappointed by the direction CNN had taken under big corporate ownership, where profits had begun to take precedence over serious global journalism. I asked him what he considered to be his greatest achievement at CNN, and without hesitation he said Inside Africa, the programme that brought African stories into living rooms across the world and showed the continent beyond the stereotypes of war, disease, coups and corruption. He believed there was far more to Africa than the negative imagery often pushed by Western media and felt strongly that Africa’s positive stories, culture, innovation and humanity deserved global attention. Beyond CNN, Ted Turner built a media empire that changed global television forever. His networks included CNN, CNN International, HLN, TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network, Turner Classic Movies, Boomerang and several other Turner Broadcasting channels that reshaped global entertainment and news television. The giant has fallen. Rest in peace, Ted Turner.

@louiehndrx @nypost Yeah because South Africa is such a bastion of peace and order except that is has been the world rape epicentre for as long as I remember

@nypost And people wonder why we as South Africans are "xenophobic"

@bla_bidza You really have weird takes at times. Let's say what you said is a solution, since when has this government used tax money to better the country?

The turning point came when he proposed a 1% mansion tax, triggering immediate backlash. Opponents reacted vocally and disruptively, rejecting the measure outright. Yet the proposal itself was grounded in a broader economic rationale: to reallocate capital from underutilised, high-value residential property into more productive sectors of the economy, while also helping to stimulate and rebalance the housing market. Not all taxes are meant to be fiscal fundraising; they target habits. Zimbabwe is stuck in expensive brick-and-mortar
