angilwi neh but have we considered that this might be because wfc does more than just post a photo? and if they started doing it for botswana, they would create a reasonable expectation to offer that same kind of support across borders? and there’s only five of them on the team?

A girl from Botswana asked womenforchange to help them raise awareness for a protest they have for a little girl, and they told her they don’t have capacity because they dealing with South Africa. Lol, they are not here for African women or South African women dears, they have an agenda and Botswana is not part of it.👍🏾😂

@Strictlybettin3 @sergle_m you’re not explaining how these campaigns worked. i’m telling you that the ones i responded to were all sa-focussed, even if international women were involved. you’re name dropping the rest like i camp on the wfc page and know everything they do. what were the campaigns?
English
@de_colonised @sergle_m • Your main point: “ and if they started.., they would create…support across borders?”
• My point: They’ve ran campaign across borders
• My 2 part follow up:
1. SA campaigns using international women
2. Countries they ran campaigns for (main point)
~Across Borders~
English
@Strictlybettin3 @sergle_m you listed:
• advocating against a known abuser entering south africa
• organising a protest during a major global event taking place in south africa
• raising awareness about gbv in south africa
• external support to launch a survivor helpline… in south africa
English
@de_colonised @sergle_m SA campaigns that used foreign women as poster children to fight for SA matters:
• Chris brown concert
• G20 shut down
• #PurpleMovement esp in UK
• CFLI collaboration
Small campaigns ran on other countries: 2021-205
- Kenya
- Isreal
- Afghanistan
- Nigeria

@de_colonised @sergle_m WFC has long set a no border precedent for their activism.
This doesn’t hold weight.
Though they operate in SA, they don’t have borders as per their previous campaigns.

i got retrenched six months into my first job in 2023 bc they wanted to replace me with ChatGPT. the manager that delivered this news left the company and, on the same day, i saw both him and the company we used to work for hiring for the SAME FUCKING JOB THEY RETRENCHED ME FROM

Our ceo fired the entire 12 person QA team last month and replaced them with an ai automated testing pipeline to save $1.2M today, we lost $6M in orders because a bot hallucinated a discount code that made everything in the store 0. The best part? he asked the lead dev to hop on a call with the fired QA lead to see if he’d consult for free to fix it. corporate greed is a mental illness

A hypothetical scenario. It's war time. South Africa has mandatory conscription for all able bodied and refusal to join the troops at the frontlines results in prison time (let's say 1 year). Prison or war?

they only started the space programme because of a war😭💔
Titty Mboweni* 🇵🇸@PearlPillay
I wish the US could spend their time focusing on their space programme instead of bombing the whole word. The things they could achieve?? They could have been anything but they chose to be demonic.
