Everything is better with less violence. We are all humans under one sky. It's never too late to start respecting and appreciating each other. Hate is maladaptive and has terrible societal impact.

@bocasho_braaf Following China's socialist model, focus on basic needs and empowerment, ensuring all resources are used to benefit the state and eliminate illicit financial outflows. Education for a just transition, renewable energy supply chain jobs and regenerative agroecology.

Aside from the usually right-wing talking points of scrapping minimum wage and BEE, how can SA become the factory of Africa? I.e. how can we produce the majority of the goods the continent uses and consumes?

🚨 THOUGHT-PROVOKING TAKE I'm not an EFF member, but one thing they consistently raise is the question of whether Africa's immigration challenges are rooted in the way the continent was divided into dozens of separate states. The argument is simple: before colonial borders, people, cultures and trade routes moved across the continent far more freely. Today, Africans often face more restrictions moving within Africa than they do in other parts of the world. Whether you agree or disagree, it's a conversation worth having. The real question is: are Africa's challenges caused by Africans moving across borders, or by the economic and political divisions that keep Africans separated? Watch this @EFFSouthAfrica representative explain their perspective📍🌍

@GovernmentZA The last results didn't inspire confidence in the IEC especially in the Cape Flats.

The hypocrisy of KZN top cop Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi exposed in two frames. Frame 1: A disciplined, political assembly like the EFF National Shutdown protesting against a failing government is immediately branded as "anarchy" and met with state "combat mode." Frame 2: Violent xenophobic attacks, blatant looting, and assaults occurring right in front of SAPS are softly rationalized as mere "community frustration" because the instigators hold local political and regional favor. When tribal alignments dictate policing, the law is no longer neutral. Selective enforcement completely undermines the rule of law. 🇿🇦

A high school valedictorian in North Carolina—literally the top student, chosen to speak—gets her microphone cut mid-sentence. Why? Because she dared to speak up for oppressed people around the world. Real cowardice

President Sheinbaum: "Mexico has changed; nothing and nobody will be able to stop the transformation of our homeland." "Neither personal interests, nor corrupt figures from the past, nor foreign agents (US) will be able to bend the dignity and destiny of our great nation."

This story gets so much worse. Apparently this all started because police were called out for a disturbance after her husband broke their tv out of anger after finding out his brother was killed by Israel in Gaza. The husband is Palestinian. When the police were taking him into custody his wife stopped them because she wanted to accompany him and that is when the officer threw her on the ground for “interference.” The couple was cooperative with the police the entire time and yet this is how they were treated. She delivered the baby prematurely because of the physical trauma on her body but thankfully both she and the baby survived and are in good health. She easily could have miscarried. This entire police department should be investigated and that officer should be arrested and charged with aggravated assault.

Deliberate reduction of human beings into nothingness. For years, this is what we have fought to make visible: EU-funded concentration camps in Libya where enslaved “migrants” and “refugees” are detained en masse, shoulder against shoulder, body against body, with barely enough room to turn or sit upright. Exhaustion, dehydration, disorientation, heat, suffocation, darkness, sheer collapse—you name it. One does not need visible blood for violence to be present. Sometimes violence is architectural, administrative, and above all a decision to place hundreds of enslaved people in a room never meant to contain them and then call it “migration management.” My outrage comes from the fact that such scenes have become normalised both in Libya, Europe and around the globe. The world has slowly learned to consume the dehumanisation of “migrants” as recurring theme instead of evidence of ongoing crimes against human beings that concerns all of humanity. And while this reality is already unbearable, this morning a document leaked to @StatewatchEU confirmed that the EU has begun collaborating with Haftar’s forces in eastern Libya on “migration control.” The result will be worse than what is happening in this footage. This is a condition that no court, parliament, humanitarian institution, or democratic society should tolerate for a single hour, let alone for years that has passed.

Irvin Jim is spot on here, organizations shouldn't have to hollow out their core principles to play nice. If the MKP wants to lead a progressive front, they have to be willing to explicitly confront economic exploitation, not dance around it.

@MzansiIndian04 @Markosonke1 You can go try grow food there like I have done and find out.

@ScmHxgn @Markosonke1 So now how can apartheid be blamed for people not using the fertile land they have around them. They want already established farms. The issue is crime and victim mentality

🚨 AFRICA BEFORE YOU CALL OTHER BLACK PEOPLE "Foreigners" - READ THIS 🚨 A lot of Africans online are busy with Afrophobia, insulting other black Africans as if colonial borders were created by God himself 😭 Meanwhile this map is a reminder that most African countries only became "countries" after Europeans sat in conferences drawing lines across OUR people, tribes, languages and kingdoms like they were sharing pizza slices. Families were divided. Tribes were split across borders. Languages ended up in 4 different countries. One day you were simply African… the next day someone in Europe decided you are now "foreign" Many people forget: South Africans, Zimbabweans, Zambians, Malawians, Botswanans, Congolese and Mozambicans have been moving across Southern Africa LONG before passports, visas and Home Affairs queues existed. The same surname can be found in 5 countries. The same tribe exists across borders. The same languages are spoken across borders. Because these borders were colonial projects - not natural walls. That doesn’t mean countries shouldn’t have laws or borders. Every nation has a right to control immigration and protect jobs, security and resources. But there’s a difference between demanding law and order… and acting like other Africans are aliens from Mars 😭 The sad part is Europeans colonised Africa, exploited it, divided it… then Africans today are using those same colonial borders to hate each other while the rest of the world moves forward. Before shouting "they must all go back," remember: some borders are younger than your grandmother. Africa’s biggest enemy cannot keep being Africans fighting other Africans every day on social media while corruption, unemployment and crime continue untouched. History matters. Learn it 🇿🇦🌍

@PutinOmuhle @bigjoemudau @Mokone_Dimphoo My mom was South African Indian and both my parents were involved in the liberation struggle.

@ScmHxgn @bigjoemudau @Mokone_Dimphoo You are European don't project your delusion to the public

As people of Limpopo, we distance ourselves from fake posters that's purported to be authored by us 🔹Jacinta Zuma 🔹Phakhel'mthakhathi 🔹Ngizwe Mchunu ...are all welcome to campaign in Limpopo. We give Ngizwe , Jacinta and Phakhelmthakathi our blessings. We are also offering them them 2 virgins to marry with their wives blessings. There's no "No go area" in 🇿🇦 for 🇿🇦

@IanCarrollShow 🚨🇮🇱 Israel killed Charlie for calling out October 7 stand down, BEING AGAINST IRAN WAR, exposing Epstein as an Israeli agent, exposing Israelis being behind the immigration crisis, and refusing BIG money from Netanyahu. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

It’s like a meth family moved in….

Information security is more than edge devices and edr. Manipulation of our minds affects mental health and has terrible societal impacts if there is malicious intent.

@Vision_Purposed @SABCNews @HomeAffairsSA @the_dtic @GovernmentZA @HermanMashaba Your smart TV is probably part of the V01d botnet. Nightmare Eclipse is not an isolated backdoor.

@Vision_Purposed @SABCNews @HomeAffairsSA @the_dtic @GovernmentZA @HermanMashaba I have over 20 years experience in Cybersecurity and Microsoft's recent bug bounty fail doesn't look encouraging. Zero days and complex attacks have never been more accessible and data sovereignty is needed for true integrity, which we don't have yet.

IMMIGRATION FOCUS | Economic Freedom Fighters’ Sam Matiase says the government should put systems in place to ensure that all foreign nationals living in the country are properly documented.

@Vision_Purposed @SABCNews @HomeAffairsSA @the_dtic @GovernmentZA @HermanMashaba You have such faith in cybersecurity.

@SABCNews Digital system is the only thing needed. Record face , fingerprint and their original identification/birth information. This will help to document even the kinds born in the country … @HomeAffairsSA @the_dtic @GovernmentZA . @HermanMashaba

@MzansiIndian04 @Markosonke1 I have lived in Ciskei and the water mafia blocked any villages from growing food. The youth were on meth and the elders alcohol. The farmland and water there is not accessible to most people.

@ScmHxgn @Markosonke1 O please the bantustans of Kwazulu, transkei, ciskei and venda had and still have very fertile land Bru

🚨📍 REALITY CHECK Uyazi sometimes the internet is a biggest scam. Last night I was sitting in a local salon, getting a haircut and watching the Champions League final. What I saw was completely different from what social media keeps telling us. South Africans were laughing and debating football with Malawian brothers. A Ghanaian guy was arguing about tactics with a South African. Everyone was sharing jokes, buying drinks and enjoying the game together. No drama. No hatred. Just ordinary people getting along. We see the same thing happens every day in places like Vosloorus, Katlehong, Tembisa, Alexandra and Soweto. South Africans buy from Somali shops even ask for discounts. Zimbabweans work alongside South Africans. Malawians, Mozambicans, Congolese, Nigerians and locals share taxis, worship together in churches and mosques. It the same in workplaces no drama at all. Kids play together at creche without asking for passports. Neighbors borrow sugar from each other without checking nationality. The reality on the ground is that MOST people get along just fine. The internet amplifies the loudest and angriest voices, but they are not the majority. Most Africans living in South Africa are simply trying to work, survive and build better lives, just like everyone else. The real South Africa is often far more peaceful than the one you see on your TIMELINE maybe be like me MUTE ALL XENOPHOBICS and go out there and see 🇿🇦❤️🌍

The Trump regime want to test European missle defense systems.
