Glocal is lekker

When my mom calls and I say “hi mommy” she says “sthandwa senhliziyo yam” and please, I am certified Mama’s baby!

Oh shame the Jhb based Xhosa folk really come alive at KES Easter Fest. Nice to see you nina abo “qond’ukba” ❤️❤️❤️

Because the constitution says SA is a secular state, I hope this helps.

Very stupid thing to think and say.

Interesting because when people experience bad people at a certain place, they quit the place not hate the whole institution - work, gyms, restaurants etc

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Single moms need to remember that pedophiles look for single moms specifically because it’s the easiest way for them to get close to children .

@UncleCul What was foreign in many cases was the colonial packaging, control, and political use of Christianity. That is different from saying Christianity itself is foreign to Africa.

Yup! Nothing “white” about it.

No one who has actually read this story can blame Anele for a damn thing. Just say that you want to lynch her badly because it’s what ya’ll like to do here. You don’t have to like her, but you have to use comprehension skills and sense!

Do you want her to account for what a man did with his ex?

We never had this but we had the Mkhulu with a beard, that was also weird

“Go back” implies that what South Africans did at some point in the past actually worked. The reality is that Somalis and Pakistanis don’t dominate the spaza shop industry because they’re just more determined. They dominate because they have far more structural advantages than any individual owner can ever hope for. For instance, while individual South African shopkeepers buy from local wholesalers as end-users, immigrants create dense networks of dozens, even hundreds of operators integrated into a supply chain. These networks go way beyond just buying together; they import together or buy directly from the manufacturer’s factory gate. So, instead of hiring a bakkie to go buy individual stock, they share the high cost of fuel, big trucks, and security. To them, the business is the network itself. This way, if one shop in a network is looted or burned, the broader collective provides the interest-free capital to restock and reopen immediately, while a local entrepreneur might have to take a high-interest bank loan or use a credit card. There’s also the information network, where if bread is R1 cheaper in a town 50km away, the entire network knows instantly and organises to buy 2000 loaves at a wholesale discount, while the individual owner is stuck ordering 25 loaves at a 25% premium. The competition is so one-sided that even the loudest anti-immigrant “patriots” still shop at Somali tuck shops. More importantly, this dominance is not unique to South Africa, Pakistanis and Somali shop operators outcompete individual operators in every country they appear in, not just SA. There’s only one way for South Africans to compete: Cooperatives and buying clubs. Otherwise, the idea of ownership without a cooperative network is just a recipe for failure, and the evidence is all around us. Lastly, imploring South Africans to “go back” assumes that the past was a golden era that was interrupted by immigrants, when the reality is that township retail economics was always hand-to-mouth. The spaza shop was never a reliable path to a good income. It was an Apartheid survival mechanism when Black South Africans were legally excluded from formal commerce. There’s literally nothing to go back to.

Eh may these people be protected from the weird discourse and behaviour that emerge from people who know where you work and also where you go to seek spiritual guidance.

Now I understand why Mpumelelo wanted to “dodisana” with other men other than his father. This isn’t the model: #Uthandonesthembu

Was MaCele having a moment because they said her husband must submit to other wives??? #Uthandonesthembu

MaCele is an op! A weapon fashioned against the family. #Uthandonesthembu

I still believe that MaCele loves to see an old wife cry about a new wife because it feels like revenge for her - like she’s also getting a lick. #Uthandonesthembu

Nah, Mseleku is a 1 of 1 character. How do you invite 2 therapists to counsel you and your wives and then you tell the therapists YOU HIRED that they’re not doing their jobs properly just because they told you hard truths? #uthandonesthembu

Bafazi, whenever you have the chance, utilise the rights women fought for you to have. Go to school. Get a paying job/ make money. Vote.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
