My first name is Michael it originates from the Hebrew name מִיכָאֵל (Mikha'el), which means "Who is like God‽"
Everyone's up in arms over @elonmusk calling B-BBEE 'extremely racist'. He's not wrong. But over 20 years of data tells an even darker story. Unemployment up. Black unemployment even worse. Crime exploding. Rural internet crippled. Starlink blocked because Elon isn't Black enough. This is what happens when you put racial revenge over reality. ANC is starving its own people of safety, jobs, and tech, all to keep power. Full breakdown → nationalinterest.org/blog/techland/…
Lex Libertas Media Statement 24 April 2026 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Lex Libertas opposes MK Party’s attempt to repeal Section 235 of the South African Constitution - A direct attack on the inalienable right to self-determination PRETORIA — The right to self-determination is an inalienable right that would remain applicable even if the text were to be scrapped from the South African Constitution. As a result, removing Section 235 (the self-determination clause) from the Constitution would not remove the right, but it would strengthen the conclusion that minorities in South Africa are being persecuted. These are some of the main points put forth by the think tank and advocacy group Lex Libertas in the submission that was presented today to the Speaker of the National Assembly, the Portfolio Committee on Justice and Constitutional Development and the Parliament of South Africa. In the submission, Lex Libertas makes it clear that it rejects the proposed repeal of Section 235 of the South African Constitution. The Constitution Twenty-Fourth Amendment Bill, 2026, introduced as a Private Member’s Bill by MK Party MP Mzwanele Manyi, seeks to repeal Section 235 of the Constitution – the only provision that explicitly recognises the right of communities sharing a common cultural and language heritage to pursue self-determination. Section 235 was included in the 1996 Constitution as part of the negotiated settlement precisely to reassure communities that the new political order would not result in the suppression of their collective identities. It does not grant automatic secession or independence. It simply states that the right of the South African people as a whole to self-determination ‘does not preclude’ the recognition of such rights for communities ‘within a territorial entity in the Republic or in any other way, determined by national legislation.’ By seeking to delete this provision, the MK Party is entrenching division. It is an attempt at removing the very constitutional foundation that allows for the exploration of decentralised models of self-government, which Lex Libertas has consistently argued is the only sustainable path forward for all communities in South Africa. Repealing Section 235 would: - Confirm that the political system remains disconnected from grassroots realities; - Intensify feelings of existential threat among minority communities, including Afrikaners and other Western-oriented groups; - Undermine the 1990s constitutional compromise that made the transition to democracy possible; and - Send a clear signal internationally that peaceful avenues for self-determination are being deliberately shut down. Lex Libertas therefore calls on Parliament to reject the bill in its entirety. Instead of erasing the constitutional recognition of diversity, the National Assembly should move toward activating the right to self-determination as suggested by Section 235 through national legislation that gives practical effect to community self-government. Lex Libertas’s submission is shared below and can be accessed on the institution’s website. Lex Libertas is a think tank and advocacy group working towards a viable political dispensation in South Africa, based on the principles of freedom, decentralisation, and self-governance.

As seen below @elonmusk clearly agrees with BEE/ transformation. Just not 30% equity. But 5000 schools connected for free. And other forms of equity equivalence. Rural areas need this.
🇿🇦 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.
BREAKING: UEFA fines French football club Lille €17500 for “transmitting a message not fit for a sports event.” The large tifo in the game against England’s Aston Villa depicting Joan of Arc with a sword in hand, and the words “French never die” was considered to “incite hatred.” The decision came shortly after UEFA drew anger by fining Red Star Belgrade €40,000 for a Christian tifo in their match against Lille. Critics say the decisions show that UEFA are anti-Christian as they allow tifos depicting the devil or push political messages connected to LGBTQ and BLM without ever fining clubs for such tifos.
