I’m so proud to have beat the Evil System of Apartheid at their own game.
By the time I reached 30, I owned my factory in the heart of a township called Mabopane, built with my own resources, by my own construction company, employing roughly 200 local people.
5 years earlier, this story began in January 1985, with a R30k loan by 2 black businessmen, Walter Dude and Mr Moja, commonly known as Uncle Nats in Ga-Rankuwa, in a 200sq rented factory in Ga-Rankuwa owned by the SBDC, today known as Business Partners.
I conceived the idea of Black Like Me in 1984, invited two other partners to join, Joseph Molwantwa, a brilliant salesman and Johan Kriel, a white production manager/chemist. We recruited my wife to join in January 1985 as a bookkeeper.
Today, 2026, 41 years later, I am proud that my wife and daughter have taken over the reins, working with my new partners, working to take the business to the next level.

@AfricaisBlack when you said "democratically elected govt " i flinged for a moment .
venesualans* are celebrating so what are you saying

Minister Ronald Ozzy Lamola is correct. The U.S. invasion of Venezuela is a flagrant violation of the UN Charter & the right to self-determination.
South Africa knows too well the sting of imperialism & foreign interference. We stand in unwavering solidarity with the people of Venezuela and their democratically elected government.

Who would you like to see me interview on @_SMWX this year?
English

DIRCO Minister and #ANCNEC member Ronald Lamola speaks on the UN Security Council meeting that will take place later today on the invasion of Venezuela by the United States of America and the abduction of President Nicholas Maduro.
“What is important is this matter will be ventilated on a world stage and we will all know what happened and how” #sabcnews

This is an official government account… essentially enjoying a Christian nationalist support base and yet, using this language? What a joke!

Durban beachfront is getting their own amusement park valued at R1 billion - they are redeveloping the old Funworld Site🎪🎢🎡
I have been waiting forever for this announcement. The eThekwini Municipality shared renders with me earlier today, and they look incredible.
• Completion date: 2027
• Jobs created during construction: 900
• Permanent jobs created once open: 500
• Project by: Masithu Consulting and Project Managers (MCPM)
Key public upgrades will include:
• Themed food courts.
• Neon-lit pedestrian walkways.
• An alcohol-free, family-friendly environment.
• Panoramic viewing decks overlooking the ocean and city skyline.
• A fully-redeveloped splash-park and children’s water play area - funded entirely by the developer.
Some of the exciting amusement park rides include: the Lightning Roller Coaster, Disko 24, Vertical Swing, and a 1,500m2 Virtual Reality Theme Park with more than 160 interactive games and global e-sports activations.
The park will be developed in partnership with 2 leading Italian amusement engineering firms, well known for projects at Ferrari World, Universal Studios and Disneyland.
The city's revival of its beachfront properties through public-private partnerships is excellent. This redevelopment is part of a larger R2-billion private-sector investment pipeline along the Golden Mile. It complements the Joe Kools redevelopment, enhancements to the Elangeni & Maharani hotels, and the City’s long-term beachfront renewal plan.
Durban has the best climate year-round and deserves to be one of South Africa’s top tourism destinations. Looking forward to seeing the former Funworld Site restored.
Who has memories connected to Funworld? Let me know in the comments.

Officially sworn in as a councillor in the City of Cape Town! Transparency is a BIG thing! And I will continue fighting for it as I have done for all of my political career. This is the start of an even bigger fight to make Cape Town more affordable, safer and liveable. This is the continuation of the push for a Cape Town that is for ALL of us and not just for SOME of us! Salute💚💚💚
