No political party has been as intentional about protecting and fighting for the vulnerable black youth of this country like the EFF.
Too bad that most people vote based on social media trends and not policies
Sihle Lonzi@SihleLonzi
Young Professionals, Teachers, Doctors, Engineers, Lawyers, Accountants etc. have to pay membership fees to professional bodies like SACE, HPCSA, LPC, ECSA and SAICA, even when they are UNEMPLOYED. The EFF is demanding parliamentary intervention to STOP this unjust practice!

One of the most shameless lies still told about colonialism is that European powers gifted Africa its roads, its schools, its hospitals. Shut up! You gifted us nothing. We built it, we paid for it, we bled for it.
Those roads were not built so African farmers could trade with each other or so African communities could grow. They were built to move our minerals and our crops from the interior to the ports and ship them to Europe.
Every kilometre of colonial railway followed the same logic: not to serve us, but to drain us. The hospitals were built to keep labourers alive enough to keep working, not because colonial administrators believed African lives had value, but because a sick worker interrupts the extraction schedule. My grandmother was denied treatment for her twins dying of smallpox because my grandfather was in prison for resisting colonial rule. She lost one of them.
And who built any of it? Our grandparents. Forced, beaten, worked into the ground under quotas, mutilated when they failed to meet them. When someone calls that a gift, what they are really asking is that we thank our oppressors for the infrastructure our own suffering produced.
We also paid for it in cash. In 1932, French colonial commissioner Robert de Guise imposed new taxes on Togolese people whose incomes had already collapsed by nearly sixty percent during the Great Depression. When women dared to protest, France shipped 174 colonial soldiers from Côte d'Ivoire to crush them. Girls as young as thirteen were raped and 12 protesters were killed. That is how the roads, the schools, the administrative buildings, the hospitals were financed: with our blood. Not European generosity.
And when independence finally came, the colonisers left with a bill. They calculated the cost of everything they had built through our coerced labour and our taxed income, called it colonial debt, and demanded repayment from the very nations they had spent a century looting. We paid for our own exploitation. Twice!
In Europe, when a government builds a road, no citizen is asked to be grateful. It is called public service. But when colonisers built infrastructure on our land, with our bodies, with our money, after killing and raping us, we are expected to call it the "benefits of colonialism". The audacity!

@SholaMos1 Nah. He's just an idiot who doesn't care about firing a gun around hundreds of other morons who came to listen to him sing about killing whites.
English

Like him or not, the prosecution/sentencing of EFF Leader Julius Malema is an egregious abuse of prosecutorial power, weaponisation of the criminal justice system & political persecution of one of the strongest Pan African voices who speaks out against Western imperialism and the restoration of land wealth back to Black South Africans.

@HannahIamthest1 No matter how fast or what type of car the hero drives, he will never simply outrun a bunch of baddies in a family sedan. They will be hot on his heels around a bunch of slippery corners until they finally flip and roll the car in a fiery explosion.

Things I have learned from the movies"
Having watched hundreds of movies, they have taught me many things that I would like to share with you today:
1. If being chased through town, you can usually take cover in a passing St Patrick's Day parade - at any time of the year.
2. All beds have special L-shaped top sheets that reach up to armpit level on a woman but only waist level on the man lying beside her.
3. All grocery shopping bags contain at least one stick of French bread.
4. Once applied, lipstick will never rub off - even while scuba diving.
5. The ventilation system of any building is a perfect hiding place. No one will ever think of looking for you in there and you can travel to any other part of the building without difficulty.
6. Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it will not be necessary to speak the language. A German accent will do.
7. The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window of any building in Paris.
8. A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.
9. When paying for a taxi, never look at your wallet as you take out a note - just grab one at random and hand it over. It will always be the exact fare.
10. If you lose a hand, it will cause the stump of your arm to grow by 15cm.
11. Mothers routinely cook eggs, bacon and waffles for their family every morning, even though the husband and children never have time to eat them.
12. Cars and trucks that crash will almost always burst into flames.
13. A single match will be sufficient to light up a room the size of a football stadium.
14. Medieval peasants had perfect teeth.
15. All single women have a cat.
16. Any person waking from a nightmare will sit bolt upright and pant.
17. One man shooting at 20 men has a better chance of killing them all than 20 men firing at one.
18. Creepy music coming from a graveyard should always be closely investigated.
19. Most people keep a scrapbook of newspaper cuttings - especially if any of their family or friends has died in a strange boating accident.
20. It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts - your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessor.
21. During a very emotional confrontation, instead of facing the person you are speaking to, it is customary to stand behind them and talk to their back.
22. When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in your room will still be clearly visible, just slightly bluish.
23. Dogs always know who's bad and will naturally bark at them.
24. When they are alone, all foreigners prefer to speak English to each other.
25. Rather than wasting bullets, megalomaniacs prefer to kill their arch-enemies using complicated machinery involving fuses, pulley systems, deadly gases, lasers and man eating sharks that will allow their captives at least 20 minutes to escape.
26. Having a job of any kind will make all fathers forget their son's eighth birthday.
27. All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red readouts so you know exactly when they're going to go off.
28. It is always possible to park directly outside the building you are visiting.
29. A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from duty.
30. If you decide to start dancing in the street, everyone you bump into will know all the steps.

What is the Agenda of this white Advocate against Julius Malema ?
Can someone check if he is not a member of Afriforum?
Why so much push for Julius to be implicated?

@RomanCabanac Now tell us, why were there liberation movements in the first place? Why did these men need to mobilise? Also, by this logic, then it’s only a *specific* demographic that commits predatory crimes. You guys think you’re smart but siyanibona.
English

“What Myburgh documents is that predatory crime in South Africa did not emerge from poverty or inequality in any simple sense. It emerged from the paramilitary infrastructure of the liberation movements, from the weapons, the networks, and the tens of thousands of young men trained in armed operations during the conflict of the late 1980s and early 1990s, who did not demobilise in 1994.”

Little Wiehan Botes was only 5 months old when he was strangled in the one place he should have been safe.
On 23 May 2012 in Delmas, Mpumalanga, his parents, who had waited 8 years for their miracle baby, dropped him off at his day mother’s home as usual.
That afternoon, both 5-month-old Wiehan and 66-year-old Margrietha de Goede were brutally strangled by three Black men.
Wiehan’s tiny body was hidden under a bed.
Oh, and they forgot to rob.

🚨 JUST IN 📍 The R80 MILLION mystery surrounding suspended City of Tshwane CFO Gareth Mnisi is sending shockwaves across South Africa.
At just 36 years old, Mnisi is now under intense scrutiny after reports linked him to a luxury lifestyle allegedly far beyond what a public servant’s salary could explain. The guy takes home 124k
Court papers reportedly revealed a fleet of high-end vehicles including multiple Porsches, a Maserati Levante, BMWs, Range Rovers and other assets said to total around R80 million.
Now the questions South Africans are asking:
How does a municipal official accumulate that kind of wealth so quickly?
Who funded it?
Were tenders manipulated?
Who else benefited?
Mnisi is also being linked to allegations involving interference in City of Tshwane security tenders, with WhatsApp messages and testimony reportedly placing him at the centre of a widening procurement scandal.
He has since been suspended and is expected to account before the Madlanga Commission, while Hawks and SARS are reportedly probing the money trail.
This is no longer just about one man. It is about whether municipalities have become playgrounds for luxury lifestyles funded by public money while residents battle potholes, power cuts and collapsing services.
South Africans deserve answers

@ntsikimazwai @themanbebrown This is clear persecution, and an example to any black person who dare challenges the white establishment. They’re trying to silence us all.
English

@LordVizo__ Why don't you just allow this guy to do what he wants to do? After all it's the whites that are extremely violent, isn't it?

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”.

Never forget that 33 years ago we learned the government will kill your dog, shoot your 14 year old son in the back and snipe your wife in the doorway while she holds your infant child.
*RubyRidge
Imagine being 14 years old, living off the grid in the Idaho woods in 1993. You’re walking your dog when suddenly he growls and *bang*, the dog is shot and killed. You look up and see a man in a Ghillie suit with a rifle pointed at you. Fear grips you. You pull your gun and fire. You’re just defending yourself. This is your home.
You run back toward your parents, only to be shot in the back and killed before you can reach them. You never understand what went wrong or why.
The next day, a sniper fires again. Your mother, standing in the doorway holding your baby sister, is hit in the head and killed instantly.
All of this started because your father Randy Weaver, sold two sawed-off shotguns to an undercover agent and refused to become a government informant. They gave him a false court date and set up armed surveillance at your home, waiting for the moment they could escalate.
Randy Weaver was a former U.S. Army Green Beret. He served in the military before moving off the grid with his family in northern Idaho. His military background added to the tension for federal authorities, because he was trained in weapons and survival, but it didn’t make him violent or a threat to anyone outside his property.
After an 11 day stand off with Randy and the baby inside with two dead bodies, the government was ordered to pay millions in settlements to Randy.
They were proven to be in the wrong for this deadly power trip.
But that doesn’t bring back a 14 year old boy or his mother.
Stay educated. Some of our history isnt taught in school for a reason. 💯

I'll reserve excitement until Malema is confirmed to be behind bars in a normal prison cell (not a comfortable medical wing) and expected to stay there for the 5 years. The judgment is already compromised for deviating from the legislated mandatory minimum of 15 years.
But that does not detract from the excellent work done by @afriforum to see this process through to the end! Real patriots.

@ItsZaheeruddin @NdoMosotho @kimheller3 @Julius_S_Malema @Abramjee @SABCNews @WorldofThabiso @NzithaThsanana The injustices we face as AFRICANS on our own LAND using the European LAWS, i.e. Roman Dutch Law and the British Laws. All these LAWS are imposed on us, but we have to live with their consequences for adopting them.

🔴 5 years in prison for Julius Malema…
But a white man Jacobus Stephanus Roux (“Bees Roux”), violently killed a security officer in 2010! Beating him! AND walked away with a fine.
Same country. Same justice system.
Make it make sense. Cc: @kimheller3 #HandsOffJuliusMalema


English

I have to say... five years seems like overkill for Malema for the crime in question, especially given it pushes him out of parliament. Kinda feels like we're trying to nail him for other crimes that are harder to prove, like corruption. In France, people are reluctant to jail Marie Le Pen, a right wing populist, for much worse crimes because it'll prevent her from running for president and be seen as affecting voters' choice and more importantly... turning her into a "martyr" against "the system," potentially strengthening the far-right's popularity. That's what we're risking with Malema here, galvanising an otherwise flagging EFF base.
