@Mmalenyalo_ @Linda64790535 @LeratoPillayZA Option 1) they are accounts that the can open but limited to R25 000 per month. 2) they can open a non resident acc at FNB or STd Bank 3) register a company and the money is loaned to the company

@Linda64790535 @LeratoPillayZA Doesn’t matter weather it’s court or rag point is whose account

RAF says undocumented foreigners must be paid. My question now using which bank account ?

@Malemela94 @Ndi_Muvenda_ No they say only 20 000. You still need to insure your car

@Ndi_Muvenda_ If you read the contract with car track, it says they'll pay you the value of your car if they can't find your car.

The government must pass a law that if a car tracker can't find your stolen car, they must refund you all your monthly contributions since you started, That way, they will take their job seriously and ensure that they find these cars.

@ChristoThurston Maybe with water and electricity outages. Are they still happening? I assume the security companies were damaging infrastructure to get more work

Why are Outsurance Traffic Wardens much better equipped to regulate traffic than Tshwane Metro Police? Is there a link between the corruption in Tshwane that is uncovered at the Madlanga Commission and the poor performance of metro police?

@BeansRobson am i seeing a complete research topic here-even the theoretical framework

The Beit Bridge crossing is a rite of passage, a trauma, and a pilgrimage all at once. If you have stood in that queue with everything you own in bags, you understand something about Zimbabwe that cannot be explained to someone who hasn't.

@clairecesc @zoomafrika1 I used to herd cattle and ate a lot of honey in the field.

@zoomafrika1 Forget the sting, the real wonder is the high sugar consumption. I want to know the biological secret that allows it to consume that much sugar in one go and stay perfectly healthy.

What kind of animal is this?

I sometimes edit theses, and one of my biggest frustrations is AI-generated interviews. They are easy to spot, they drift off topic, lack depth, and ignore the research questions. Why are students avoiding real interviews when that is the core of credible research?

@BraThabzaa Checkers also have Shoprite lite element in its butchery and vegetable section, of rotten things

Did you know that Checkers shelf life is 1 week and after that they send the products to Shoprite, Shoprite keeps for 2 weeks and send to usave, usave sell at discounted prices until rot. But this is not deep its just business.

@Shumiz_ Congratulations Zandile.

Did a little something today

@Leon_Schreib Why are visas taking six months?

Since the formation of the GNU, Home Affairs has carried out 109 344 inland deportations - excluding direct deportations by the BMA at the border. The 57 784 deportations in the past year is a 46% increase from 2023/24, affirming our commitment to restoring the rule of law 🇿🇦

@LuGuy20 So that they take more money from undocumented migrants. The 2500 are eating too much

SA Boder Management Authority has 2600 staff & is in need of at least 11000 to adequately implement proper measures- classic example of how State is being incapacitated while services are being outsourced to banks. Worse yet less than 1000 immigration officers.

Consulting/Freelancing 101: Here we go! Zoom meetup this Monday 6 April at 1400hrs CAT / Harare time.

@homelink_zim @TapiwaNyamukapa Why do they look like student accommodation? What other amenities are on site?

@buzwepama You wont finish them. Every locale has great restaurants

I'm going to Cape Town next month and I want to try all of the restaurants with great food. Please can you guys plug me? I don't want places that are about aesthetics or how fancy it is, I just want the best food you have ever tasted. Please also share what dish you recommend? 🙏🏾

@BinLadenGully the above is a lie. secondly, all SA universities rank better that Zim institutions.

The protests against the Nigerian king in East London are not just about “foreign culture”. They are about authority, legitimacy, and who has the right to perform belonging. At the centre of the dispute is a clear claim: that traditional leadership in South Africa falls under the custodianship of COGTA. So when a Nigerian king appears in that space, it is read not simply as cultural expression, but as a challenge to recognised structures of authority. But this is where it becomes sociologically interesting. Belonging is not only administered by the state. It is also enacted through practice. Through dress, ceremony, and collective presence, diaspora communities recreate forms of authority and identity across borders. What looks like overreach to some is, to others, a way of maintaining continuity with home. The presence of a Nigerian king in East London is therefore not just symbolic. It is a claim to cultural authority that exceeds territorial boundaries. And the protest is equally a claim. A defence of nationally recognised forms of authority and belonging. What we are witnessing is not a simple conflict, but two different logics of belonging colliding. One rooted in state recognition. The other in lived, transnational practice.

The Nigerian King debacle reminded me of a passage i wrote decades ago "Mallet (2004: 67) notes that the analysis of home should not be just about “what people think about home, but on practice”. Thus belonging can be “performed, displayed and enacted through individual and collective practices” (Antonsich, 2010: 652). Skrbis et al (2007: 262) notes that belonging can be “enacted, displayed, paraded, exaggerated, and frequently articulated in the jargon of essentialism or ethnicity”. Mand (2004: 275) argues that a central focus in literature on transnationalism and diaspora is on “migrant ideas of and practices of recreating and maintaining home and a concomitant sense of belonging”. This can be specific practices relating to specific social and cultural spaces, which link individual and collective behaviour and are crucial for the construction and reproduction of identity narratives and constructions of attachment. Levvit and Schiller (2004: 1010) refer to this as “ways of belonging which are practices that signal or enact an identity which demonstrates a particular group”.

@MeneerMash @phume22 Yes; sometimes you start a research area at PhD eg PhD in Sociology on environmental issues but most scholars are in another environmental studies and you end up teaching there because thats where most collaborators are.

@phume22 Mana, I’m reading comments here n I’m getting confused. Are you guys saying with one PHD I can be able to switch to other specialisation or fields without having the undergrad, honours and masters in that field?? Just one PHD earns me a right to do any PHD in any field??😳

Guys, isn’t a PHD in itself embedded with 4 qualifications? The degree, honours, masters and the PHD?

I will call this witchcraft. Dr Mpho Motseki graduated with a PhD in Women’s & Gender Studies in December 2025 and passed on Thursday, 19 March 2026. She has joined the faces of her family's departed that were on this dress.
