@Markosonke1 Nah I don’t agree. We don’t travel coz we don’t have money. Full stop. Le yobu Comfortable asinaSure ngayo. I’m comfortable, yes, but I still want to travel.

Why do many South Africans, especially black South Africans, rarely travel across Africa or overseas? Is it about affordability, access, mindset, or something deeper? 🌍✈️ #LetsTalk

The boy child won’t. They leave school at grade 11 to help support families and themselves. They also work the physically demanding jobs that women can’t work. They help send their sisters to university…women just don’t mention these things.

@SizweDhlomo No canopy can ever make any bakkie look good, unless you’re the camping type. And it’s a Land Cruiser.

Just out of interest, what do you like about them?

A building under construction has collapsed in Ormonde, south of Johannesburg, with at least four people confirmed dead. It’s understood that the second-floor deck collapsed. A construction worker has told EWN that work had recently begun on the concrete slab. @JusstAlpha

@Mr_PeterM I have to agree.

I think I was not given enough time to shine, Tiguan R.

@Layemie001 We do it here in SA too, it’s quite common actually. Much cheaper than buying a new one! It’s called re-enamelling or resurfacing.

Bath Tubs are repainted in the US. Why not get a new one😯

This tweet breaks down the distinction between basic administration and revolutionary struggle, debunking the myth of the "Zuma Revolution" with the hard facts. Debunking the Zuma "Revolutionary" Myth. Jacob Zuma was not a revolutionary. We must distinguish between basic governance and revolutionary transformation. If you measure success by RDP houses and road repairs, you are confusing a Municipal Manager with a Revolutionary. A true revolutionary is measured by the structural shift of wealth. 🇿🇦 On the core struggles, the return of Land and control of mineral resources, Zuma’s record is a spectacular failure. He spoke the most about transformation but, as Adv. Ngcukaitobi notes, he actually cut the budget for Land reform. Delivery slowed to a crawl compared to the Thabo Mbeki era.  Under his watch, mineral rights weren't returned to the people, they were shifted from old capital to a new, "Gupta-linked" elite. That isn't a revolution, it’s just a change of ownership at the top while the masses remain landless. Building roads and "matchbox" RDP houses are basic state functions, every government does this. A revolutionary changes urban land patterns so the poor live near economic hubs. Zuma left the apartheid geography of our cities perfectly intact. Debunking the "Top 10" Claims: • Infrastructure: Projects like Gautrain and Medupi were planned/funded under Mbeki. Zuma’s contribution? Massive corruption-led cost overruns. • Grants: Rising grants is a sign of a failing economy. It’s a sign people can't find work and are stuck on state crumbs. • BEE: Became "tenderpreneurship" for the politically connected, not a broad black industrial class. • Repo Rate: Set by the independent Reserve Bank. Zuma actually threatened this stability when he fired Nene (Nenegate). • Education: He dropped the "Free Education" populist grenade on his way out with zero funding model. • Load Shedding: He didn't end it, he postponed it by "running the diesel" and skipping maintenance, bankrolling Eskom’s collapse and the current crisis. • SOEs: The Zondo Commission proved SAA, Transnet, and Denel were systematically hollowed out by State Capture.  Zuma’s supporters measure him by "service delivery" because if they used "revolutionary change" as a yardstick, they’d admit he delivered zero. He gave the people "matchboxes" while his associates took the billions meant for the Land. #LandReform. #ZumaVsMbeki. #SouthAfrica. #StateCapture.

a year ago we submitted our first paper to Parliament with detailed solutions to beat South Africa’s gambling crisis top of the list — ways to protect our most economically vulnerable social grant recipients, unemployed youth & elderly we’re finally seeing progress 🔥🔥

Allow me to explain about Godongwana’s decision today ⚠️ The new 3% inflation target, set to begin in 2027, means that the prices of everyday items like groceries, petrol, and electricity will rise more slowly than they do now. Under the current 3–6% range, prices typically increase by about 4.5% each year, so umzekelo a R100 grocery basket today would cost R104.50 next year. With the 3% target, that same basket would only go up to around R103. This slower pace of price increases will help you keep more of your salary in your pocket, making your money stretch further for food, fuel, and household essentials. When it comes to your job and salary, the lower inflation target is likely to create a more stable environment for businesses. High inflation makes it hard for companies to plan, often leading to layoffs or frozen wages. A steady 3% target signals reliability, encouraging companies to invest in new factories, equipment, and hiring. Over time, this should mean better job security and a stronger chance of getting a raise that actually improves your standard of living. If you have a home loan, car finance, or any debt, this change could be a big win. Right now, the repo rate is around 8.25%, making a R1 million bond cost about R11,500 a month. As inflation drops toward 3%, the South African Reserve Bank will likely lower interest rates to around 5–6% by 2028 or 2030. That same R1 million bond could then cost you R9,000 to R10,000 a month, freeing up R2,000 or more for your family every month. Even petrol and electricity prices should become more predictable, with smaller annual hikes tied to the lower inflation rate. Your savings will still grow, though not dramatically. Banks might offer 4–5% interest when inflation is 3%, giving you a small real gain. But cash under the mattress will lose value slowly, so it’s better to put money into unit trusts or property that can beat inflation. The transition won’t be completely smooth, 2026 might see a temporary rate hike if inflation lingers above 4.5%, which could raise your bond payment by R500 to R1,000 for a few months. Still, this is a short-term bump on the way to long-term relief. For the average South African family, the 3% target is good news. It means cheaper loans, slower price increases, and more stable jobs, as long as you prepare for a slightly tougher 2026. Start by avoiding new debt, building a small emergency fund, and asking your employer for inflation linked salary adjustments. In three years, you could be saving hundreds on your bond and tens of rand each week at the till real money that stays in your hands.

Bro to Bro: Avoid driving other people's cars at all costs.

@KaizerChiefs 🤣🤣🤣✌🏽✌🏽

Please share your starting 11. We wanna confirm if we have the right one #Amakhosi4Life

@Nyeleti0606 It is exactly a matter of affordability, anything else is secondary!!

I am noticing a trend of people from ko kasi not wanting to move out. They will buy cars and everything but to move out, never. There’s a handful of them who move out right after securing a job. I wonder why this is the case and I don’t think it is a matter of affordability.

There are serious allegations involving security threats to this country, yet the youth is focused on Grace Mondlana. Yah, we are cooked. 💔

Sad truth.
