Patriotism Above All — A Nation Must Come First
Patriotism is not a slogan — it is a duty. A duty to put the citizens of South Africa first in jobs, safety, healthcare, housing, and opportunity. Yet today, many South Africans feel abandoned in their own land.
Foreign-funded NGOs lobby aggressively on migration and asylum policies, often louder than the voices of struggling citizens. Government officials appear more responsive to external pressure than to communities battling unemployment, crime, and economic exclusion.
The result is a widening trust gap between the state and its people.
South Africa now faces global scrutiny over human trafficking routes and drug distribution networks.
Porous borders, weak enforcement, and overwhelmed institutions create fertile ground for transnational crime. Ordinary citizens pay the price — through violence, addiction, and collapsing local economies.
Meanwhile, the asylum system — meant for genuine humanitarian protection — is widely perceived as overstretched and exploited. When laws seem to shield undocumented migrants more effectively than they protect law-abiding citizens, resentment grows and social cohesion fractures.
Patriotism does not mean rejecting humanity. It means balance. It means secure borders, fair but firm immigration control, and policies rooted first in the welfare of citizens — not external approval.
A country that does not prioritise its own people risks losing legitimacy, stability, and ultimately sovereignty.
South Africans are not asking for cruelty.
They are asking for country first.

Allow me to share a personal story of hope.
In 2010 my husband was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. And so started a very long journey. We had our own interior design business, but I was of course forced to get a job for a stable income while he spent many hours at Charlotte Maxeke Hospital...
By 2013, I had already left my career as an interior designer and been working in a less stressful job in sales with a smaller salary. But, after 4 years of fighting through repeated chemo & remission he started getting regular life threatening seizures.
At that stage (age 33) I'd almost lost everything I built up financially, after 4 years of having an ill partner and having to sell our cars to afford to live, I had to resign my job as a caregiver would have been unaffordable, so I could care for him full-time. Even with the relief of government hospitals and cutting down on everything we could, my salary wasn't enough to afford everything.
Having supportive parents was such a blessing, and something to be treasured if you are fortunate enough. But the financial burdens of housing us became too much for them after a few months, and my mother said to me 'its time you do something and try to make money and get out of your depression. You always wanted to paint on stones, so lets make it happen.'
And so, she bought me a bunch of rocks, and some paint...and that's where my journey started of picking myself up again.
I didn't make a lot of money, selling painted stones, which I used to take to a weekend farmers market and made about R300-R1200 a week. But, I was working again. Driving myself to perfect my product. I experienced a sense of pride and self worth again....I was invited to private gallery openings and getting orders...
Sadly, he didn't make it...after a stem cell transplant and a bone marrow transplant a few years later the years of chemo had simply destroyed his organs.
He passed on 2 years later...
It's taken me many years to pick myself up again... In 2016 I started working as a freelance interior designer again with a computer my brother bought me.
.........
Fast forward to today, my interior designer company is doing well and started a healthy lifestyle product brand that's busy growing. We give work to quite a few subcontractors and I honestly consider myself fortunate.
If I had to share my full story, I'd keep you busy for hours. But the just is, that I had to start again...
DOING SOMETHING... picking myself up.
Focussing.
Moving.
Many of us go through extremely tough times, that we feel we'd likely never get out of, but taking that 1st step to change the tide.
My life isn't perfect. But it's much better than it was in 2013... starting over again.
If I can encourage you just a tiny bit to still HOPE, then you're already taking the 1st step.
Don't stop dreaming and believing your life can change 🫶🏼
I've added a link to some of my stone art. Many of these were painted in hospital waiting areas...

Didn't @HermanMashaba make your first R10 million working with Europeans in 1985.
Did you forget, because you campaigning now for our votes.
And zar wasn't weaker than the dollar in 1985 it was R1 for $3. Today that is roughly half billion rand.
Herman Mashaba@HermanMashaba
Add Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Chinese, Indians, Mexicans, and Europeans, including those who want to see our country divided. No country on earth would manage to carry such load.

Interesting info:
South African members of Parliament are bound by the Code of Conduct for Members of Parliament and the Powers, Privileges and Immunities of Parliament Act (No. 4 of 2004), which prohibit behavior that intimidates or undermines public trust. Intimidation breaches their constitutional duty to uphold your rights to dignity and security (Sections 10 and 12 of the Constitution).
Intimidation is a crime under South Africa’s Intimidation Act (No. 72 of 1982), punishable by fines or up to seven years in prison. It includes actions that instill fear or coerce you to act against your will.

@MathewCohenSA @JustXavierB @CilliersB @MYANC @MbalulaFikile @DWS_RSA @nasiphim @ME_Beaumont Brink has a tendency to shoot himself frequently in the foot. Apparently he gave this tender to a buddy. It's the same pattern on repeat:
