STELLA NDABENI I appeal to both camps of Oscar Mabuyane and Lulama Ngcukayithobi to use the prayers they received during the Easter Weekend church visits to unite. They must put the lives of EC people first. Otherwise a victor in the conference may end up celebrating a pyrrhic victory

Tired of people who need to know the nationality of a dead child before they can decide how to feel.

Noticing that a lot of women are actually okay with misogynoir when it’s directed to Xhosa women. The way you guys laugh at the slut shamey and derogatory posts about us? Woah niyachazeka shame😭😭😭😭✋🏾

Was at a wedding last week and the Rev sounded like he was calling demons with the laboured breathing 😭😭😭

One side says we’re xenophobic slaves who worship white people, the other says we’re anti white racists. The duality.

Italy tried to colonise Ethiopia, but a woman named Taytu Batul read the treaty they were to use and recognized that it was full of deception. She pushed her people to reject it, leading everyone into war—the battle of Adwa which led to Italy’s defeat. She was educated, and understood politics, power and strategy.

First they came for the em dash and I did not speak out. Then they came for the Oxford comma…

Interesting how wars are named after the country attacked: Vietnam War, Iraq War, Afghanistan War, Iran War... That's because if they were named after the attacker, it would be too confusing, since 80% of conflicts would be called the US war.

No. Bafunde eSt Johns College, eMthatha. Iykyk🤣

Bafazi, whenever you have the chance, utilise the rights women fought for you to have. Go to school. Get a paying job/ make money. Vote.

Neighbours watched Musa Khawula chase Wandile Khambule down and stab him. Screams to stop. Wandile tried to run. He didn't make it. Khawula admitted the stabbing - claimed self-defence. Cool story. Yet he's been out here living his best life, dropping threads and doing victory laps like the case was just spilled iced tea. Wandile's family? Still grieving in silence. Prosecute the murder charge and let the courts decide the self-defence claim. Justice Delayed is Justice Denied.

Men have the same rights no matter where they go in the world. A woman's rights depends on the country she lives in or the religion she follows. Read again.

Following extensive consultations with several of my counterparts in Gulf nations currently impacted by the prevailing instability in the Middle East, I held a substantive discussion with the Iranian Foreign Minister, His Excellency Abbas Araghchi. In our exchange, I expressed our profound concern regarding the escalating loss of civilian life and the worsening humanitarian situation in the region. We reaffirmed our call for an immediate de-escalation of hostilities. South Africa remains steadfast in its position that the only viable path forward is through diplomatic engagement and a commitment to a peaceful, just, and lasting resolution to the conflict, in accordance with international law.

People asking how “profit” will be calculated in this case. It’s not a guess, it comes down to forensic accounting. They start with the full contract value, which is about R1.08 million for masks and R13.3 million for PPE suits. Then investigators work backwards to figure out the real cost of supplying those items. That includes what the supplier actually paid per unit, what the market prices were at the time, and any legitimate costs like transport or storage. From there, profit is simply the difference between what was paid out and what it actually cost to deliver. So if a PPE suit was sold at a much higher price than what it really cost, that markup becomes the profit. When you multiply that across thousands of units, the numbers add up quickly. The important part is that the contracts were declared unlawful. That means the Tribunal isn’t treating this like normal business. The principle applied is that no one should benefit from an illegal contract. So even if goods were delivered, the focus is on how much money was made from something that should never have happened in the first place. That full amount, once legitimate costs are accounted for, is what must be paid back.

Mmmm....but South Africa must change its laws? Laws that have nothing to do with killing people because of their identity? Mmmmm.

Just so we're clear, Israel is now the first state to have an ethnicity-based death penalty since Nazi Germany.

Now that the mayor has resolved this matter. Are you guys going to swim in this mess happening in Khayelitsha?
