I never skip leg day

@_Itumeleng_K A good message man, I hope it changes a few South Africans minds, but ultimately a waste of time. South Africans on the internet are distasteful in general. Reminds me of South African whites in real life. Arrogant, proudly wallowing in ignorance and proud of it.

Banter aside we as South Africans need to be more careful with how we treat our fellow African brothers. As it is they already think we are pompous and aloof. Botswana opened its doors for us and hosted us so well and we still find things to nitpick about. It's distasteful.

@kuanele_ This is very true. It is much easier for us with exercise. They say though, that weight loss is 80% food and the damage I've seen woman do when they have their period😢. If you guys could figure out how to fight your hormones...

men just breathe at the gym and achieve their fitness goals 😔

@AIandDesign @Meta 🎵...the land of the free and the home of the brave. 🎵

I'm not gonna lie, the @Meta layoffs are some of the most dystopian I've ever seen. They got told to work from home, they were sent the emails at 4AM in the morning. Those who weren't impacted have software on their computer that tracks their every move, preparing AI to take their job as well. They're literally training the AI that will eliminate their position as well. Meanwhile, Meta is raking in RECORD PROFITS. I am a massive, unapologetic AI enthusiast. Yet, this is NOT the future I had in mind. I wish for Meta to crash and burn. This is not the way. Literally nobody benefits from this.

you’re not going to be open to the answer but yes numbers wise it is a very popular religion, also very hated and feared

@clapsa @sadmethod Yes they can, but how did they win them? In your experience, from everything you've seen in SA when it comes to tenders, how are tenders won? How do most men win tenders?

@sadmethod Can a normal beautiful lady win tenders, yes or no. Answer inside you? imagine if Mam’ Mkhize was beautiful 🤩 who you were going to say she was sleeping with to get tenders?

Sibongile Marokana is really moving different. Founder of Lerumo Lasechaba Security, reportedly owns 62 trucks, runs logistics operations said to make around R12M a month, and owns Lerumo Lions FC. A woman dominating security, transport and football in SA is actually inspiring.🔥

@Menziwa__ @RediTlhabi Just them? No blame for the Home Affairs South African employees who sold them these passports. There's a reason South Africa gets a larger number of a certain type of Nigerian while Canada and America gets mostly Nigerian Doctors and Engineers.

@RediTlhabi We had Visa free to Ireland, we had visa free to UK and lost it because of unlawful and unruly aliens who invaded SA

No. Rules were NOT bent for them. They don't need a visa to come to RSA. EU is a visa free arrangement. I have a problem with that but we can't claim it was an arbitrary decision. EU, US and UK citizens don't need a visa to come to South Africa. That's what fires South Africa's tourism. I think it should change but that's irrelevant for this debate. No rules we're relaxed or intensified arbitrarily for EU and this gentleman.

@AsakyGRN "There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee..."

“Frank Edoho had to call me himself and we spoke for about 30 minutes. A grown man like him almost cried because of the pain he was feeling from the media backlash. His wife cheated on him, he caught her the first time, she confessed, they settled it and moved on. She allegedly went back to the same person again. He started noticing signs, confronted her, but she refused to confess, and he decided he was done if she wasn’t going to tell the truth.” — Titi of Impact from Honest brunch podcast.

@politicaleconZA Link?

'Mafia state': 15-20 masked men in unmarked vehicles kick down the door of a parliamentarian's house* and intimidate the people inside because he leaked information that implicated a popular police boss in corrupt activity. *Apparently it wasn't even his house

@LordVizo__ Actually they are being led by the nose... open.substack.com/pub/politicale…

"Plot Holes" are fine. Movies need to make emotional sense before they do logical. If you don't notice a plot hole until waaay after the movie ends, then the writer did their keeping you emotionally invested in the characters and story. Most plot holes are nitpicking pedantry.

@GwenChiwanda @mpintjiskee @WasOnce_Skinny @WolffHVLines Oh shame. @GwenChiwanda I'm thinking some woman who probably hurt him in the past had a Picanto and Ted Baker bag. That's what this post is about you see.

@mpintjiskee @WasOnce_Skinny @WolffHVLines Clearly i don't gents..👍

Nothing triggers me like a Picanto and a Tedd Baker bag. Ey ,fuck that Midrand hun fr.

@itscedaragain @Loccdawggg True, the mental conditioning that's been done to some of us of growing seeing portraits of Jesus, it led to us just assuming he sort of looked like that. We never stopped to think about it deeply. Whereas we all know that the depiction of The Prophet Isa definite no no.

@TeeEs05 @Loccdawggg nobody knows whay jesus looks like

As far as fame goes, Mike is in a closer conversation with Jesus than he is with other celebrities and I genuinely wish I was exaggerating

@Loccdawggg Which Muhammad? The boxer or The Prophet? Can't be the Prophet right? No one knows what he looks like. Right?

He’s literally in the top ten (i think top five too) most recognizable people in history. Him, Jesus, Muhammad, ghandi, etc

@notfunnysimon @Loccdawggg To the western world perhaps. Not in the global south.

@Loccdawggg A degree of recency bias here. Elvis & Charlie Chaplin also had global fame on a similar scale. Queen Victoria too would have been known far & wide as an Empress Of course as time & technology advances the world shrinks, so the best known celebrity is probably yet to come

@BarackWaluvengo @Thuso1Africa Well crime is a shitty thing to do.

@TeeEs05 @Thuso1Africa Such a shitty mind. Of all the perfect examples, one with poop involved was the best you could come up with?

AKA wanted a secure boarder to keep African migrants out, because he argued that migrants commit crime in South Africa. But guess who ordered his assassination and who the killers are? South Africans

@RadBolshevik Commendable.

Un buen pirata de internet nunca comparte sus secretos por redes y solo lo dice en persona. Mi misión en la vida es romper tantas veces como sea posible la ley del copyright y destruir los servicios de streaming/librerías/plataformas musicales.

Xenophobia is a direct indicator of social decay. In every African country where you see populations turning violently against foreign nationals, what you are actually seeing is a population that is drowning financially, struggling to find work, struggling to eat, watching their living conditions deteriorate with no credible explanation from the people responsible for governing them. The foreigner becomes the easy explanation and excuse for a failing state. What makes it particularly revealing is who they target. They never target the foreign corporations extracting resources at below-market prices. Not the foreign financial institutions whose conditionalities have gutted public spending for decades, not the foreign governments whose diplomatic protection keeps predatory local elites in power election after election. Those actors are too distant and too legally armoured, living behind gates in neighbourhoods that the angry and the desperate cannot reach. So they go after the ones they can reach: the street vendor from a neighbouring country, the migrant worker who is every bit as broke and as desperate and as abandoned by power as they are. The poor man’s oldest and most reliable mistake is to see his enemy in his fellow poor person. It requires a macroscopic reading of how power actually operates to understand that the Malawian vendor and the South African unemployed youth are not each other’s problem. They are both products of the same system of extraction, the same manufactured scarcity, the same political class that needs them fighting each other precisely so they never turn around and face the right direction. Xenophobia is never a spontaneous eruption of hatred. It is what manufactured poverty looks like when it finally needs somewhere to go.
