🇿🇦 SOUTH AFRICA PROPOSES INSANE CRYPTO CONTROLS, POSSIBLE FORCED SALES South Africa National Treasury and South African Reserve Bank have introduced draft Capital Flow Management Regulations that could dramatically restrict crypto use. The proposal would require disclosure of crypto holdings above an unspecified threshold and could allow the government to force holders to sell assets for rand. Under the draft, investors may not buy, sell, lend, or transfer crypto above the threshold without permission, except through approved providers. Transactions would require a stated purpose, and using funds outside that purpose could trigger mandatory resale. Cross-border transfers and payments using crypto would be banned without approval. Authorities would also gain powers to search individuals, demand declarations, and seize assets suspected of violating the rules. Critics say the changes raise serious constitutional concerns around privacy, property rights, and freedom of association, calling them among the most aggressive updates to South Africa’s decades-old exchange control system.

@Richard_Spoor Small minded. What’s to come post this increase will be lower fuel prices. Go read up on supply control by Iran.

I have never really liked Donald Trump, I always felt he was a narcissistic buffoon. But of late I feel differently. The fuel price is about to jump by R7.60/l, friends and family have had flights cancelled and airfares are through the roof. Now I despise the orange tinged moron.

@GaytonMcK No Gayton, we are proud of our heritage and we stand to preserve it. Your woke message here is a distraction. We need leaders to stand up for minorities.

The DA is fighting very hard against the renaming of Graaf-Reinet to Robert Sobukwe. Masses of Black people marched in favor of the name change. The DA should come out clearly and state that they anti-transformation.

@JohannBiermann1 Fat Butcher or De Eetkamer, you choose

I've got two Dutch business partners visiting SA this week, and I've got the privilege to show them the ins and outs of Stellenbosch on Friday 🍷🍇🌲🌄

@forallcurious @grok explain the significance of this

🚨: France now holds the world record for nuclear fusion! It sustained the reaction for 22 minutes! An incredible temperature of 90 million degrees Fahrenheit (50 million °C) for 1,337 seconds — more than 22 minutes.

@cb_doge Way to keep the voting masses uneducated I guess @MYANC

Starlink has committed to a R500 million investment to connect 5,000 rural schools with free, high-speed internet, benefiting more than 2.4 million learners each year. But it is still on hold. Why? Because South African regulations require 30% local Black ownership for telecom licenses. South African farmers and rural communities are asking the government to approve Starlink. In many remote areas, there is no internet access at all, and people have to drive several kilometers just to get basic connectivity. The South African government is the enemy of its own people.

@justvuyi_ Jealously makes you nasty

This shouldn’t hinder us from starting a nation wide boycott against Airbnb bc this will still affect the working class more, capitalists always find ways to exploit the system. That company needs to get out of our country and everyone benefitting from it needs to suffer.

@Sonwabi55176643 @morrow_nw @chestermissing Have you not seen the abundance of taxis and busses using the N2?

@morrow_nw @chestermissing White lives?

Its a matter of weeks before Cape Town mayor Geordhin Hill-Lewis builds a wall around Sea Point to protect the German digital nomads from homeless middle class Cape Townians.

@JusstAlpha This is temporary. The US needs to kill 38T USD debt, the only way is by manipulating the dollar to be weaker. Long term USD will climb when their debt to gdp reverses.

The Rand goes below the R16 mark to the U.S. Dollar!

@JordiGriff There’s only one way to kill US debt and that’s with a weak dollar

Yesterday the Rand dropped below R16, today it's pushing on it again. Can it get there and hold.

@Sonia_zwa @Tumi_016Gawd @Ndi_Muvenda_ Correct

@Tumi_016Gawd @Ndi_Muvenda_ Rand is getting stronger due to higher commodity prices, especially Gold.

Ramaphosa is cooking 🔥😳

@user007321 Jealousy makes you nasty

@beyond_thecurve @JusstAlpha Agreed. The dollar is on set to for massive growth.

What are you saying ? South Africa is doing better than the Trump economy in terms of economic growth ? The Rand closes the last #CME gap at R15.90, and when we head the other way fast as the US economy goes into overdrive by Q4 end 2026. By the end of the year, the Rand will be weaker. Except if their is an ANC mass loss in local government elections, I e a 15% ro 20% holding of power. Then the Rand stays 💪. #ZAR. #SouthAfrica

Hello Donald Trump

@ISephara They’re also powering small businesses to large businesses that supply hospitality and tourism. These companies employ locals, right now to kill foreign income would be delusional. Move out the city and use public transport.

What's happening in Cape Town is a disaster. Foreigners are importing their classism, snobiness, negative attitudes & their unfriendliness to all South Africans. Truth is: they came there for the nice views and weather. They didn't come for Ubuntu. They think very little of SAns

@GodPenuel You have lost the plot. Unfollowed.

We need more ordinary South Africans becoming Zama-Zama's. The fact that artisanal mining isn't legal in South Africa is proof that the ANC sold out the revolution & protects wealthy mining bosses.

@hobsonj123 @JohannBiermann1 @geordinhl Let’s be realistic from a damage control POV. A wall is the cheapest option in the long term.

@JohannBiermann1 @geordinhl I wonder what would be a suitable solution? Stronger policing, a Berlin Wall kind of construction? Socio- economic solution like addressing the basic cause? Apartheid chickens are coming home to roost in my opinion.

Hi @geordinhl, could we please focus on making the N2 a safer route in 2026. We see all the lovely things your team is doing, but many of us are literally risking our lives daily going to work. We need action ASAP.

@pieterkrielorg @pieterkrielorg you can’t have many friends your age in this country with such anti-progressive outlooks. You can travel to the North West and focus your critique there, comrade.

Don’t tell me the Democratic Alliance is a GOOD party and when I ask for proof you point to “CT cleanliness”. Cape Town isn’t clean, its incentives are poorly distributed.

@Sebabi_M @grok, how many new officers have the DA put on the streets in last 24 months compared to Gauteng controlled ANC. How many RDP houses have the built compared to Gauteng controlled ANC.

@tumisole You seem like an emotional rage baiter

The DA doesn’t want you to see what’s next to the N2 & how they’re not doing much to curb crime on that route including crime ridden areas such as Khayelitsha & Nyanga! #KnowYourDA

@CyrilRamaphosa We oppose another looting vehicle

Once implemented, the NHI will ensure that all people have equal access to healthcare regardless of their ability to pay.   #ANCNGC x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
