Can we talk about the wear and tear that comes with choosing to care?
Not performatively — but truly.
Deeply.
With your whole heart.
Every day…

@Sjava102 @FaraiMazhindu The fact that you used ChatGPT for 2 sentences is wild and reason enough to not have Starlink. Reading a book will benefit you more than scrolling on X and posting nonsense. 🤦🏾♀️

@FaraiMazhindu South Africans want Starlink — not delays, not politics. Let the people connect and move forward. 🇿🇦

The demand for Elon Musk to surrender 30% of his business to operate in South Africa is absurd.
Bringing infrastructure, creating high-skill jobs, and expanding the national tax base should be more than enough contribution from any global entity.
The South African government claims this is about compliance, but in reality, it's a system of state sanctioned theft.
While other corporations have quietly paid for political patronage to bypass these rules, Musk is calling out the corruption. This 30% norm hasn't empowered the people, it has simply enriched a circle of political elites.
Most businesses take the easy way out and pay the bribe, but Musk has the integrity to stand his ground and expose the rot.

South Africa won’t allow Starlink to be licensed, even though I was BORN THERE, simply because I am not Black! We were offered many times the opportunity to bribe our way to a license by pretending that a Black guy runs Starlink SA, but I have refused to do so on principle. Racism should not be rewarded no matter to which race it is applied. Shame on the racist politicians in South Africa. They should be shown no respect whatsoever anywhere in the world and shunned for being unashamedly RACISTS!

While confronting the deepening unemployment crisis facing our discontent youth, after over 30 years in governance, the African National Congress has failed to deliver both qualitative and quantitative solutions equal to the scale of the challenges confronting the people of South Africa .
We raised firmly that access to institutions of higher learning remains a structural barrier to economic inclusion.
Accordingly, we also called for the establishment of a fully-fledged University in Ekurhuleni! The mandate remains Total Freedom and Emancipation manje!

The time for platitudes is over! Not that we ever had enough privilege to entertain them. Yet here we are. It’s time for real leadership. It’s time for South African’s to realise they are the power and change.

I would like to hear him contextualise the revelations from the Madlanga Commission with the current crime rates and apparent infiltration of our policing and national security. I simply put I want to hear accountability and a clear action.

What do you expect Pres @CyrilRamaphosa to address in his speech?
I want to see him acknowledge and reflect on their missteps (Water etc) as an administration (GNU) and his party (ANC) and most importantly

George Fivaz has no relationship with, and does not know, self-appointed police “expert” Paul O’Sullivan. Opportunists thrive in the absence of accountability.

Today on #AfricanRenaissancePodcast we speak to Madiba’s National Police Commissioner, George Fivaz. He is the first SAPS Boss under Democratic South Africa (1995).

@ShiyabedlaHadeb @RediTlhabi Hi Lunga, please help me understand the connection you’re making here. How does Redi’s healthy marriage that is free from emotional, mental, financial, or physical abuse — conflict with or undermine a movement that actively opposes intimate partner violence?

Yes. He is the absolute centre of my life. My best friend. The keeper of my heart. The one around whom my life proudly revolves. The ONLY person with whom I'd have fridge politics that are relevant to this topic. You have a problem with that? Just remember it is YOUR problem.

@RediTlhabi You would always have some way of mentioning your husband

@galston_anthony @ThisIsColbert Anyone who mistakens ridicule for support and refers to grown women as “girls” is unfit for my vote. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
English
As a Black person, I will definitely NOT give my vote to Helen Zille
As for the ANC, the Apartheid slogan is just a political tool used to maintain incompetent & corrupt people in power, not falling for that😂
We have a new gem in town, Galston Anthony, The Best To Ever Do It😊

@NP_Mcinga It’s remarkable how quickly you reinvent history the moment you smell an opportunity for the spotlight. For the sake of accuracy and public record, there was no resignation. You were dismissed.
English
The Azania Movement notes the misleading statement by Afrika Mayibuye Movement.
We resigned because of lies, name-dropping & manipulation even using names like Motsepe, King Misuzulu & Irvin Khoza without consent.Many leaders & members have since left & joined Azania Movement.

Every time I read the @mayibuye_afrika Restoration Manifesto I am moved by @FloydShivambu's penmanship! The brother is gifted with words.

STATEMENT ON THE ELECTION OUTCOME IN CAMEROON & IVORY COAST
As the Afrika Mayibuye Movement (Mayibye), we stand as a dedicated Pan-Africanist organisation, profoundly committed to the welfare and advancement of all African people residing in South Africa, across the vast African continent, and within the global African diaspora. We unequivocally reject with the utmost contempt the declared outcomes of the presidential elections recently held in both Cameroon and the Ivory Coast.
Full statement below:

But his brother-in-law is… nvm 🤐

WATCH | Billionaire mining magnate Dr Patrice Motsepe says being a president of a country like South Africa is a calling he's not willing to accept. Early this year, rumours circulated in ANC circles that Motsepe could be persuaded to run for the ANC presidency.

So maybe it’s time we redefine manhood; not by possession, but by purpose. Not by ego, but by effort.
English
Here’s the truth: women are not impressed by anatomy. Respect, ambition, self-awareness, and emotional maturity - that’s what commands attention.
Having a penis doesn’t make you powerful. Being a man of substance, vision, and responsibility does.
English
We live in a world where a majority of men genuinely believe their gender is a qualification; as if manhood alone earns them status, access, and respect. It doesn’t. You can’t lead if you can’t think, build, or be accountable.
