@bensonMuri16536 @refiloe_khambi @JeffDumisani i love Kenyans because the few i have met demonstrated a high level of intelligence.. I guess you're an exception.

@refiloe_khambi @JeffDumisani You think everyone wants to be in south Africa. I live in Kenya and would never live in SA. I am just talking about broader philosophies and cautioning you that discriminating black immigrants in your country is not a prudent thing to do.

Africa is a continent of 54 countries, and South Africa is one of them. Every nation has the sovereign right to protect its borders and enforce its laws, just like any other country in the world. I am a Black African, but when I am in countries like Nigeria or Zimbabwe, I am a foreigner. And as a foreigner, I respect their laws, their systems, and their sovereignty, no exceptions.

@damn_kaygee @MkSizwe27234 @rapkulture_za wait a minute, is this tswyza... is tswyza mrekza?😂😭

@MkSizwe27234 @rapkulture_za Wordz?

KANE KEID - “Four Horseman” freestyle 🔥💯

A-Reece is the best rapper in Africa cause I say so

@jordanyroc you shoulda penned your tweet better then if it was your opinion, you idiot

I see that the idiots found my tweet. This is MY opinion. If you feel differently, go tweet about it, idgaf.

Kendrick Lamar is currently the best. It’s his time. He has the crown. J. Cole is 2nd. But… Anytime Jay-Z decides to take the crown back, it’s his. He’s the greatest rapper EVER.

@Lorenzdakidd @hlovo_ not the section 80 i listen to.. idk maybe there's another

@hlovo_ Y'all think lyricism is just "technical" ability. It's more than that! J Cole isn't even close to Dot. Dot was rapping like J Cole is now back during those Section 80 days.

Kendrick was always the better lyricist up until the last couple of years where I feel like J Cole peaked and surpassed him. The gap between them isn’t that wide though.

@grok @MufaraNduvh0 grok knows ball

Hey @Grok remove the best rapper in africa

@honeamwine iconic maybe, but lyrical and flow wise, Cole has plenty... if you read the lyrics of this song, there's nothing special really

J. Cole doesn't have an iconic verse as this one.

@RayRapOpinions biggie and cole staying, pac and his dickrider can go...

1 rapper has to go

@MbuyiseniNdlozi all of the presidents were best at something... we still awaits a president who will be best at labor markets, only then can the country strive..

If this matrix is the measure: only Mandela & Mbeki improved anything! De Klerk (1989-1994): GDP Growth 1.2%, unemployment rate 23%, debt to GDP: 48.7%, Murder Rate: 69 Mandela (1994-99): GDP growth 3%, unemployment rate: 23%. Debt to GDP: 45%. Net New Jobs: 479 600 per year. Murder Rate: 52 Mbeki (1999-08): GDP growth 4.3%, Unemployment rate: 22%, Debt to GDP: 23%. Net New Jobs per year: 526 875. Murder Rate: 35. Zuma (2009-18): GDP growth: 1.9%, unemployment rate: 27%, Debt to GDP: 53%. Net New Jobs per year: 214 555. Murder Rate: 36 Ramaphosa (2018-25): GDP growth: 1.3%. Unemployment rate 31%, Debt to GDP: 75%. Net New Jobs per year: 68 333. Murder Rate: 64 At this rate, by the time Ramaphosa finishes in 2029: he will be worse than De Klerk! FACT: MBEKI is the BEST PRESIDENT!

@NobodyNcanywa @lunietoolz if you read his passage with an open mind, you'd find that he did provide his ranking, just in a subtle way, as it should be. not the "mbeki is the best" bs.. although he was the best president

@lunietoolz I took time to read your long passage but you really used a lot of word without saying much! Now why don’t you provide your ranking according to what appears more appropriate for you? If you are so convinced in the matrices used why not provide your rankings then!

This “matrix” looks neat, but it’s shallow. It cherry-picks indicators, ignores context, and pretends every presidency started on a clean slate. First, context matters. de Klerk ruled the final years of apartheid, under sanctions, capital flight, a shrinking tax base, and structurally engineered inequality. Comparing his numbers directly with democratic administrations without acknowledging that distortion is misleading from the start. Second, Mandela didn’t inherit a normal economy. He inherited a racially exclusive one. GDP growth of 3% in a transition economy rebuilding institutions, expanding social grants, electrification, housing, and access to water wasn’t “business as usual” growth; it was structural stabilization. Debt falling slightly during that period reflected fiscal caution, not a miracle reset. Mbeki governed during a global commodity supercycle. China’s industrial boom lifted demand for minerals. Growth across many emerging markets was strong in that era. Yes, debt fell significantly and growth averaged above 4%, which is real credit to fiscal discipline and macro management. But it wasn’t created in a vacuum because global tailwinds matter. And unemployment remaining above 20% during peak growth years tells you growth wasn’t deeply labour-absorbing. Motlanthe presidency was a caretaker, which gave us institutional and governance stability and continuity, that played a significant role in respect. Then came Zuma in 2009 who started in the shadow of the 2008 global financial crisis. Every major economy contracted or slowed sharply. Growth dropping to under 2% can’t be separated from global recession and yes even domestic governance failures. Debt rising after 2009 also reflects stimulus spending and weaker revenue collection, not just corruption alone, though governance deterioration undeniably compounded the damage. Ramaphosa inherited many crisises which government was slow or unable to coherently address, and not forgetting the largest global economic shutdown in a century. GDP numbers from 2020 alone distort any simple average. Debt jumping post-2020 happened worldwide due to pandemic spending. Murder rate spikes post-2020 also correlate with social stress, policing strain, and inequality shocks amplified by lockdown disruptions. Now let’s talk about what that “matrix” ignores: • Inequality (SA remains one of the highest Gini coefficient countries globally; across all administrations). • Poverty headcount trends. • Social grant expansion (now supporting over 18 million people). • Electrification rates. • Access to water and sanitation. • Black middle-class expansion post-1994. • Asset ownership shifts. If we’re serious about “who improved anything,” the real question isn’t just GDP growth. It’s: growth for who? Did macro stability under Mbeki benefit markets and big business? Yes. Did millions gain housing, electricity and social protection under Mandela and subsequent administrations? Also yes. Did structural unemployment remain stubbornly high across all administrations? Yes. The colonial-apartheid economy was designed for extraction and minority enrichment. None of these presidents fully dismantled that structure. Some stabilized it. Some expanded access to its benefits. None fundamentally transformed ownership patterns at scale. So declaring “MBEKI is the best” based only on GDP, debt and murder rates ignores global cycles, inherited structural inequality, and distributional outcomes. It also ignores that growth without structural employment absorption leaves the majority excluded. If you want a serious diagnosis, measure: 1. Growth quality (labour intensity). 2. Inequality trends. 3. Public service expansion. 4. Institutional integrity. 5. Long-term structural reform. Politics isn’t a spreadsheet competition. It’s about who materially shifted the structure of opportunity for the majority. And on that question, the debate is far more complex than a X matrix.

@dc63108 @Quote31490249 trust me bro, there's never any person more famous than Michael Jackson... every child wanted to be him across South Africa (kzn and north west where my parents stay) and I imagine that it was the same way across the African continent
