Mandela’s time gets romanticized—things weren’t “fine,” but he held a fragile unity together with charisma and a vision that’s long gone. Post-1994, the cracks showed fast. Tribalism’s a huge driver, like you said—Black South Africans might deny it, but it’s blatant. Zuma’s MK Party proves it: 4 million votes, mostly Zulu, in KwaZulu-Natal, rocketing past new parties because he leaned hard into that identity. Two terms as president, he ran the country into the ground—Gupta deals, state capture, even paying Pottinger to stir division, as you mentioned. Empty promises piled up, and people still ate it up because he’s “their guy.” Compare that to a white Afrikaner buying land and saying “Afrikaans only”—boom, racist label, instant outrage. Orania’s a lightning rod for that, but a Black politician can play the tribal card, or someone can sling slurs the other way, and it’s crickets—or at least no jail time. You’re right: the double standard’s glaring. Call it IQ, call it mob sentiment, whatever—the low-info crowd gets loudest when they feel slighted, especially if it’s a minority pushing back. Laws bend one way: you’d be nabbed for “monkeys,” but “pig” slides by. It’s not about who’s arrested; it’s about who gets to scream victim. History’s the kicker. Black South Africans fought wars, claimed land, sure—but development? Minimal before whites arrived. Afrikaners built farms, cities, infrastructure, often with imported labor—Indians, Malawians—because local capacity wasn’t there. Then apartheid gave Blacks separate “homelands” that were dumps, and post-’94, the ANC handed out promises instead of progress. Look at the stats: service delivery protests hit record highs yearly—5,000+ since 2018—because municipalities can’t maintain what whites left behind. In America, minorities get legal shields and cultural clout; here, Afrikaners get squat despite their own colonial scars—Boer War, British camps, the works. No one cares. Blacks get the “forever victim” pass, and now they’re eyeing what they can’t replicate.

@BusinessTechSA 🤡: "We'd like you to come build stuff here and invest." 🤠: "What's the catch?" 🤡: "Well, we want 30% of everything." 🤠: "Sounds like a kak deal. What else?" 🤡: "Well, we can also just expropriate 100% at any time and give you nothing." Good luck, buddy.

If @helenzille went to expose every neglected park, pothole, street light and burst pipe we might actually have a working city under ANC rule 🤣

Darkie migrants would rather die than return to their shithole countries. Europe is going to experience extreme urban warfare as the arabs spread terror in order to prevent deportations.

@SerawitMo @im_vensor Stop projecting You just dumb.

@MoABthefly @im_vensor So, this soothed your fragile ego enough and you're ready to die for a black woman?? 😂🤣 You people are patently silly.

🚨 BREAKING: South Africans are now saying that they want white people to rule them again.

@Itswengm @islemonjuice You live in denail, south africa isn't a spaza it takes decades to reverse centuries of development.

@islemonjuice These are illegal african migrants who came to SA with no plan these infrastructure stood for 3 decades post apartheid & then you lot arrived uninvited.

A white man built south Africa but a black man is destroying it. 🤔🤭 Bring the white people from any Western world country to any country in Africa and take those Africans to the same white man's country. Give them 2 years. You will see the difference.

@FhumulaniVenda @islemonjuice Your in south africa go find wealth for me upload it when youve found any 👍 You wont find shit.

@islemonjuice White man build it using South African natural resources so they found wealth here they didn't come with it.

@FhumulaniVenda @islemonjuice You didn't know shit you were building mudhuts and spears.

@KnownAs_Teetee @islemonjuice They build and design everything you use today and detroy at the same time all the infrastructure while you were listening to your king building mudhuts Was called separate development you didn't build shit they did even imported Indian and blacks from malawi Same as today.

@islemonjuice The yts didn't build anything. All that hard labour was done by black people. Now tell us, how you planning on getting rid of Tinubu & Boko Haram in Nigeria??

@Saxon_African 12 year olds and our best can't make the link between terrorists and child soldiers .

But aren't they supposed to be winning?

@SerawitMo @im_vensor Where did this thought arise ??? 😂

Many say this one woman doesn't represent South Africans. It's never just one. This lady is obviously not bright enough to formulate an original thought of such sort on her own. So where from did this thought arise? Most likely from a community of others who think like her. For every rat you see there are many more you don't see.

Stand By Me

So the IDC just ran a paid News24 piece telling South Africa how great they are. Allow me to do something the IDC apparently cannot: basic maths. They say they approved R26.6 billion in “transformation funding” last year and “created or preserved” 15,000 jobs. That is R1,773,333 per job. One million, seven hundred and seventy-three thousand, three hundred and thirty-three rand. Per job. You could pay someone the average South African salary for nearly seven years with that money. Or you could give it to the IDC and they will “create or preserve” one job. Maybe. If the company does not end up in their R30 billion distress portfolio. Oh, did I not mention that? The IDC’s distress portfolio, that is the money they invested that is now in trouble, is R30 billion. That is bigger than the R26.6 billion they approved this year. They are underwater. They are losing money faster than they are deploying it. And of that R30 billion in distress? R9 billion is in black-empowered entities. So roughly a third of the “transformation” money they are bragging about in paid newspaper articles is currently circling the drain. But wait, there is more. Since 2017, the IDC has given R8.5 billion to 128 black industrialists. Sounds impressive until you learn that a single manganese company got R6.1 billion. One company. That is 72% of the total. Three companies consumed virtually the entire allocation. The average per industrialist? R66.4 million. Here is my favourite part: the IDC says 88% of its funding goes to black-owned businesses. Beautiful number. Very clean. Very round. Very paid-media-friendly. But when NAFCOC went to Parliament and said the IDC is undermining black industrialists through “aggressive recovery actions, premature legal enforcement, and liquidation processes,” the Portfolio Committee Chair responded: “It appears that the IDC has not effectively embedded issues of transformation in its business processes.” That is Parliament. Not me. Parliament. So here is what R26.6 billion in “transformation funding” actually looks like: 1. R1.77 million per job (if you believe the job numbers). 2. R30 billion in distress (which they do not mention in the paid article). 3. R9 billion in black business distress (which they definitely do not mention). 72% of black industrialist funding going to three companies (which they will never mention). But sure. Run the paid article. The maths will still be here in the morning.

@MoyaProf You may call this fake, but people on the ground knows many parts of south africa is gone and even the police are scared...

@MoyaProf This is KuGompo City !! NOT EAST LONDON !! Call it what it is Today That Nigerian fit right in this baby made by the majority of South Africa Called KuGompa City !!

@Markosonke1 Is he drunk or old ? Sounds a bit out of breathe sluggish for a man trained to speak.

TRUMP WON’T LIKE THIS 😳🔥 Cyril Ramaphosa calls out the US–Israel war with Iran, labeling it "an act of imperialist aggression and called the war illegal" 🚨 The Global South is speaking louder than ever… and the pressure is rising Do you think he must APOLOGIZE?

@mzqunta @_Just_Trey_ @BafanaSurprise @europa @Essiex2a Committed suicide, shot himself in the back while running apparently...

@_Just_Trey_ @BafanaSurprise @europa @Essiex2a When did Goolam die?

🇿🇦 A 35-year-old labour law attorney, Chinette Gallichan, was shot dead in broad daylight outside the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) offices in Johannesburg, South Africa on Monday morning. She had just arrived for a case when a man approached her as she exited her vehicle and opened fire at close range before fleeing to a waiting car. Gallichan was reportedly representing a well-known mining company in a dispute involving retrenched workers seeking compensation. Nothing was stolen, and early indications suggest a targeted hit.
