@pookiepolls Die Ou Krokodil was nooit verkeerd nie. Strange that no-one mentions the secret 7th nuclear device

P.W. Botha served as South Africa's Minister of Defence before becoming Prime Minister in 1978 and later State President. In 1977, while still Minister of Defence, he initiated a secret nuclear weapons programme. South Africa ultimately produced six gun-type fission devices, which were dismantled in the early 1990s under his successor, F.W. de Klerk. Botha maintained South African control over South-West Africa (now Namibia) and strongly opposed handing the territory to SWAPO. During the 1981 election campaign, he declared that as long as the National Party remained in power, South-West Africa would not be surrendered to SWAPO authority. South African forces remained engaged in the Border War, including operations in the Angolan Civil War, until the late 1980s, when the Tripartite Accord paved the way for Namibian independence in 1990. To strengthen South Africa's military capabilities during this period, the government expanded elite units such as 32 Battalion (founded in 1975), which played a significant role in counter-insurgency and conventional operations in southern Angola, often supporting anti-communist forces like UNITA. Compulsory military service for all white South African men helped sustain the South African Defence Force throughout Botha's era, with national service periods extended and the military budget significantly increased to meet the demands of the "Total Onslaught" strategy against perceived threats. HOW DO YOU RATE PRESIDENT BOTHA?

Is it just me or did everbody get stupid after COVID? We are living in the most retarded time in world history, and it isn’t even close.

@CorCronje @Vodacom @OpenserveZA It's funny how quickly they respond when you go public with your persisting problem 🤣

So, my #fibre #FTTH have been down and I have been without #internet for 7 days. I've contacted @vodacom about 10x times and they're passing the buck instead of logging a fault with @OpenserveZA while I spend hundreds of Rands on prepaid internet 😣, no support from @vodacom

Kan oor en oor ge-repost word

ELON MUSK: "Having a child is an act of optimism about the future. We need to give people a sense of optimism and excitement about the future, and I believe that the future will be better than the past, and they'll be more interested in having kids."

🇮🇹 The speech that all of Italy heard. And that the world must hear. In a country that will host the Olympic Games, Italian Senator and Vice President of the Human Rights Commission Filippo Sensi took the floor and said what should have been said out loud long ago. He called it a disgrace that the International Olympic Committee disqualified Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych. Not for doping. Not for violating fair play. But for… memory. For a helmet bearing the faces of Ukrainian athletes — his friends, colleagues, champions — killed by Russia. The IOC stated that the helmet “did not comply with regulations.” And then Sensi asked a question that brought silence to the chamber: Does aggressive war comply with regulations? Is there a separate technical protocol for it? The correct angle of a missile strike? The permissible size of a crater? An athlete prepares for the Olympics for years. A Ukrainian athlete trains between air raid sirens, in shelters, under news of the dead. He overcomes fear, exhaustion, and loss. And he steps to the start line not only for a medal — but for the right to exist. And he is suspended… for remembering. Because memory is the most dangerous substance. It is hard to add to a prohibited list. But apparently, someone would very much like to. The senator named names. Just a few among more than 650 Ukrainian athletes killed by Russia: ▪️ Yevhenii Malyshev, 19, biathlete — killed in Kharkiv. ▪️ Mariia Lebid, 15 — missile strike in Dnipro. ▪️ Dmytro Sharpar, 25, figure skater — killed in Bakhmut. ▪️ Volodymyr Androsiuk, 22, track and field athlete — also Bakhmut. ▪️ Daria Kurdel, 20 — missile strike in Kharkiv. ▪️ Alina Perehutova, 14 — standing in line for water with her mother in Mariupol. ▪️ Maksym Halinichev, 22, boxer — killed defending Luhansk region. ▪️ Viktoriia Ivashko, 9, judoka — missile strike in Kyiv. ▪️ Kateryna Diachenko, 11, gymnast — airstrike on Mariupol. ▪️ Karina Bakur, 17, world kickboxing champion — shielded her father with her body. These were the faces Heraskevych wanted to carry with him to the start line. So that they would “compete” alongside him. So that their dream would not die with them. And for that, he was punished. Because it turns out that the faces of murdered athletes violate regulations. But their absence on the track does not. In his speech, Sensi said the most important thing: The Olympic Committee did not lose an athlete. It lost its most valuable medal — its conscience. Sport without memory is just a show. Sport without humanity is just decoration. Sport that fears truth is not about peace. The Olympic movement was born from the ideals of honor, dignity, and unity. Yet today Ukrainian athletes must prove not only their strength — but their right to remember their fallen. And if memory becomes a violation of regulations — then the problem is not the helmet. The world must hear this. Because silence is also a position. And indifference is also a choice. Memory cannot be disqualified. And conscience cannot be added to a prohibited list. 🇺🇦 We remember every one of them. And we will not allow their names to be erased.
