Brigadier General Kioumars Heydari, the Commander of the Iranian Army’s Ground Forces has said today that Israel will receive a “Harsh Response” from Iran and the Resistance Front if they decide to launch an Invasion of Lebanon.

@Mothematiks The locals are too lazy and prefer free R350. They rented all to the middle eastern foreigners for R1,500 a month. Not the middle eastern foreigners fault.

Do locals still own these shops in the villages or they are taken over by middle eastern foreigners?

@AfricaisBlack I am AFRICAN, and I love all AFRICANS. I can't REDUCE myself to be an ethical subject in a GLOBAL platform. I am a proud AFRIKAN because AFRICA is born in me.

@_Tee__G Eish!! Most black South Africans are actually dumb and always take pride in their dumbness

She is Naledi Chirwa. In South Africa we don’t have Malawian surnames. When we say they must go, we also include her. They must be members of parliament in their forefathers’ country where their roots are, not here. This is South Africa.

@mr_tm86 @_Tee__G Just about 15

@_Tee__G Note: This only applies to blacks. Nobody questions white South African surnames. Not sure about the average IQ amongst the bantus

To everyone celebrating Easter, Michelle and I wish you a joyful holiday filled with reminders of the enduring power of faith and hope.

@queenie4rmnola @gndzongana That's not patriotism, that's bigotry.

They hate Black people more than they love their country. That's not patriotism, that's racism

@SBozzled @gndzongana So, even the Zulus are illegal immigrants.

A message from the First Peoples of this southern land — the Khoi, the San, and our Griqua kin — to our Bantu brothers and sisters, including the proud Zulu nation: Listen well, you who call yourselves the true owners of this soil and tell the White man, the descendant of the Dutch and later settlers, that he is not South African. That he came from Europe only a few centuries ago. That his people have no real claim here, and that this is our African land which they merely stole. We, the Khoisan — the people of the clicks and the bow, the herders of the fat-tailed sheep and the hunters of the eland — were already here when your ancestors were still far to the north. Our bones lie in these caves and on these plains for tens of thousands of years. Our stories, our rock paintings, and the very genes of many of you carry the marks of our ancient presence. We walked this earth long before the great Bantu migrations brought iron, cattle, and new languages down from the regions near the Congo and Nigeria. When your forefathers began arriving in these southern parts — some 1,500 to 2,000 years ago or more — they found us already living across the Cape, the Karoo, the rivers, and the coasts. In some places there was trade, marriage, and sharing. In others, as numbers grew and power shifted, there was pushing aside, conflict, and absorption. Many of you today carry our blood and our click sounds in your tongues (isiXhosa, isiZulu, and others). That is the truth of layered history. Yet now you stand and say to the White man: "You arrived in 1652 — too late. You are European, not of this soil. Go back." By the same measure, we say to you: If arrival time and origin from farther away disqualifies belonging, then apply it evenly. Your powerful kingdoms — the great Zulu empire under Shaka — rose in the 1800s, long after the Dutch had planted their gardens at the Cape. Your Nguni and other Bantu-speaking ancestors expanded southward over centuries from distant northern homelands. We were the older inhabitants when those expansions reached our territories. If the White man is "not South African" because his organized settlement began later, then by your own logic, you too are later arrivals relative to us. We are the First Peoples of this southern tip of Africa. Our indigeneity runs deepest. We did not "come from" the same recent waves that shaped the majority Bantu nations. We do not say this to cast you out or to deny that you have deep roots here now — many generations, your own heroes, your own suffering, your own love for this land. The Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho, and others have become part of the story of this place. Blood has mixed. Cultures have influenced each other. You built kingdoms and fought great battles here. But we will no longer stay silent while our even older claim is erased in the national story. While land talk focuses only on post-1913 dispossessions or on "Black vs White," forgetting that Bantu expansions and later Zulu upheavals (the Mfecane) also reshaped and displaced earlier groups, including many of ours. While we are pushed into "Coloured" boxes or treated as footnotes. You accuse the European descendant of being a settler with no true belonging. We, the Khoisan and Griqua, who carry the oldest lineage in this land, could level the same charge at the narrative of exclusive Bantu indigeneity. The land was never empty when the Dutch came — we were here, and your ancestors had already been interacting with us for centuries. We ask for consistency, not revenge. Recognize the full layered history: Khoisan first and longest, then Bantu migrations and settlements, then European arrival and all that followed. All of us — Khoisan, Bantu, Afrikaner, English, Coloured, Indian — have shed blood, built, and buried our dead on this soil. None of us is "purely" from elsewhere anymore. Stop using the "you arrived later, so you don't belong" weapon only against Whites while shielding your own migration story. If South Africa is to heal, let the truth be told without selective myths. We, the earliest children of this land, demand our place at the table — not to exclude you, but so that no group can claim sole ownership by ignoring those who came before them. The ancestors are watching. Let us speak with honesty, or the divisions will only deepen.— Voices of the Khoi, San, and Griqua

The Dutch colonial settlers claim that South Africa was an empty land and that they built the country. They say the Zulu people arrived after the Dutch colonial settlers. They also claim that all of us came from Congo and Nigeria. This is a totally bullshit fairytale. I believe we should establish a law to prosecute people for spreading such false narratives. Terms like Khoisan, San, Griqua, Bushman, Bantu, and Hottentot should be abolished, just like the word "Kaffir." People should be criminalized and prosecuted for using those terms because they are colonial derogatory terms. We must classify all Whites as Europeans, not South Africans. We need to protect our nationality as South Africans. A European living in China is not considered Chinese, so why should we call Europeans "South Africans" in our own country?

@NguAmanda @africatodayMG You don't get tired of explaining.

@africatodayMG Ofcourse we would be number 1. We have an estimated 5 million undocumented immigrants who enter our boder ILLEGALLY and when they are unable to secure legitimate work they resort to every kind of criminal activity.

@africatodayMG They are coming to explain 🤣 Always explaining anything that could potentially lead to accountability 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Our angels of Africa

This image is so Presidential. The next president of the Republic of South Africa 🇿🇦 CIC Julius Malema ❤️💚🖤

@AfricaisBlack @JoyChauke5 After foreigners, they coming after Tsonga ppl, Pedi ppl, Venda ppl, Swati ppl, Ndebele ppl, Tswana ppl, Sotho ppl, then they gonna go after each other until Europeans are the only ones left to lead.

@IOL Once they run short of reasons to attack foreigners, they turn against themselves and murder each other. One thing South Africans always have in abundance is violence.

Limpopo police are probing a murder and attempted murder after a pensioner was fatally stabbed at a shebeen. #limpopo #murder #shebeenkilling #pensionerstabbed #thohoyandoucourt #limpopo Read on tinyurl.com/jkj73xds

@Abramjee When they couldn't find a reason to fight with the foreigners, they turn against themselves and kill each other.

A man has been killed during a violent altercation outside a shop in Meyer Street, Wonderboom South, Pretoria Moot. A suspect has been arrested.

@Thuso1Africa @visegrad24 @doodlehabibi So, there's no need to even have any race based laws in place.

@visegrad24 @doodlehabibi Relax dude, all employable white individuals in South Africa have a good job or own businesses. Those that do not have jobs or businesses are either too dumb or are old retired folks.

🇿🇦 South African President Cyril Ramaphosa says that the country will not abandon its DEI policies, known as “Black Economic Empowerment (BEE).” “Those who say BEE and affirmative action must stop are just dreaming,” he said. South Africa has strict laws that mandate race-based hiring practices. A new law called the Employment Equity Amendment Act sets hiring targets for 2025–2030 across 18 economic sectors. Some workforce targets aim for 90–96% of employees to come from designated groups, which include Black people, women, and people with disabilities (minimum 3%). That means that if a company has more than 5% white men, it could face penalties of up to 10% of its income.

@SABCNews QUESTION OF THE DAY | Do people still watch SABC?

QUESTION OF THE DAY | Community members and non-profit organisations took to the streets of KuGombo City to voice their disapproval of the widely reported coronation of a so-called Nigerian Igbo king in the Eastern Cape. Share your thoughts.

@SABCNews SABC is finished. Shit journalism.

@Nonkosi_10 @SABCNews Nobody knows who leaves first. Truth is that you'll leave while Nigerians and otger foreigners are still around. Even on the day you make your journey to your final resting place, many Nigerians will fly in and more foreigners will cross the border into and out of South Africa.

@SABCNews Can these people leave South Africa please.

@SABCNews There's no thought to share. People in diaspora are just trying to entertain themselves with thier culture. Reminding themselves of who they are.

Falcon Heavy is so beautiful

@torty_mercy What exactly is he saying?

Sheti baby just wants to disappear from there. People who claim they can’t listen to PO actually listen to this??
