Same. I have never in my entire life lived under a political majority at any government level which I voted for. I have also never been violent or sought to limit others' rights as a result. I was not raised to be a dogmatic fool in need of pacifying in the face of reality.

I wasn’t happy when Clinton, Obama or Biden won, but I didn’t call them fascist/dangerous/threat to democracy. I didn’t hope someone would assassinate them. I went on with my life with gratitude. Friends on the left, please try this. Your life and our country will be better.

@eNCA I have zero issue with this as long as the curriculum doesn’t “erase” anyone’s history and it’s based on facts The mere fact that some people believe v riebeck was here to colonise South Africa, shows a gap in the education system

The country's history curriculum could soon be overhauled, making way for a more African-centred approach to learning. Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube has gazetted a draft curriculum for Grades 4 to 12. It challenges the narrative that history in South Africa began with the arrival of Jan van Riebeeck. What do you make of the proposal to decolonise the curriculum? #TheSouthAfricanMorning #DStv403 #DStv194

@eNCA How reliable are the sources of all these historical narratives? I note that many black S.Africans problematically have notions from exclusively oral and unverifiable accounts.

Prioritising quantity over quality may have its benefits, but I’m not a fan.

@mailandguardian The problem is not the driver, it’s the direction of the bus. Anyone who would champion the ANC and its policies will wreck ZA.

Patrice Motsepe leads the pack in new poll: If his camp put a serious campaign behind the numbers, no other ANC candidate would stand a chance, says the Social Research Foundation. mg.co.za/politics/2026-…

@Will_Tanner_1 It was literally the same principle at play when South Africa elected Nelson Mandela and the ANC to power in 1994 and the world is still standing in that ovation. ☕️🐸

Nothing has none more to discredit itself in recent years than the judiciary And that includes the medical establishment during Covid, and Congress with all of its disgusting and craven antics

@BusinessTechSA Anyone who thinks this is a good thing doesn’t understand freedom’s utilities (including incentivisation) or the destructive state’s incapabilities (including ‘no progress’). This isn’t caring; it’s pandering to leaches & a selfishness that will see everyone suffer as being fair.

Can anyone help me out and name one good thing the Ramaphosa administration has done in the wake of the dark ages of the Zuma years?

GRAPHIC VIDEO: An antiwar protester's arm can be seen literally snapping (with a loud crunch heard through the mic) as former Marine Sen. Tim Sheehy joined security to subdue the out of control activist disrupting a Senate hearing.

Iran’s possible intention to create a global fossil fuel crisis will incentivise its neutralisation on a global scale and weaken the support of any sympathetic allies. Iran’s desperate actions give credence to why it cannot be allowed to nuclearly proliferate.
Luke@Luke_2316

Iran is showcasing a masterclass in what not to strategically do. If you’re already at war with both the world’s greatest & the Middle East’s greatest military powers respectively, don’t overextend yourself on multiple fronts and attack 12+ other nations.

@MzwaneleManyi @helenzille Your attempt at criticism exposes how unsuitable you are to make any decisions. Step aside so those who actually can lead may. You might learn something from the sidelines.

@pierredevos Iran has been an unduly tolerated threat to international peace for too long. There is a legal basis for its attack despite your obtuseness.
