@hallaboutafrica @MasehMalong Why Mozambique and Tanzania without South Africa? South African poets handle alot of Zambia trade?

Landlocked Zambia may not have seaports but wants to use its strategic geographic position in the centre of Southern Africa to become a regional logistics hub, with other countries transhipping through Zambia via and rail. Rail links being upgraded to Angola, Mozambique, Tanzania

@Qbamash @PhumlaniMMajozi Its not the truth.

@PhumlaniMMajozi That's the truth, however more strides have been made from 1980s to-date, we can NEVER glorify apartheid and say that by 1980s blacks could do anything, that's a blatant lie, far from it.

By the 1980s, black South Africans could do just about anything in the country. Most racial segregation in places like cinemas, parks, and so on had already been removed. How do I know? Well, I investigated it when I was writing my book Lessons from Past Heroes. #economy #politics #markets

@PhumlaniMMajozi Besides voting

@MissJJabari Why what did we do? Please accept my apologies on xhosa men's behalf. You are a star and gorgeous. Don't let anyone including us xhosa men or any other dim your star.

I genuinely from the bottom of my heart . In actual fact my soul . H8 Xhosa men

@EchoAuris @KelRo736 Is*

@EchoAuris @KelRo736 Your question os spot on. Government slacked. Buy the solution is not starlink. Its affordable internet. Starlink kits and monthly cost os expenses Speed is slow compared to fibre.

SA has 80% internet penetration. We are responsible for 75% of the continent's internet traffic. We have three bases in Antarctica with internet connectivity. Other African countries use SA subsidiaries for mobile internet. We didn't ask for Starlink. Elon keeps begging.

@HSHRAW White south africans vastly dont visit townships and rural areas now they want to argue about How life is in rurals We have connection in rurals Not all but we do.

We are from rural areas and we have connectivity. Which people are you talking about?

@KelRo736 @EchoAuris People really seem to not understand we have cheaper and better options for internet than starlink. We could even use telkom to connect rural areas or some other provider. Starlink is expensive and not as fast as fibre. The speeds advertised are possible but not yet provided

@EchoAuris And how exactly do you expect "the poor" to afford Starlink? We have existing options that are much cheaper than laying out R12k upfront. Most of us can't afford that.

@BassieLastrassi Some supporters if this absurdity say : well its the same in London and Europe people need roommates to share rent." That is not progressing. Its following mistakes not progress.

@BassieLastrassi I will never forgive the cape town mayor.

I just landed and no ways guys, we need to fight for Cape Town.

@BassieLastrassi What is the point of economic growth if the citizens dont benefit. We are importing poor Europeans and American and they become overnight rich and we them like millionaires instead of creating south african rich people We are being pushed out of CPT. Digital nomads is no tour

@NtsikeleloNM @BassieLastrassi This is why I will never vote for the new DA leader or DA in general. He did this.

@okay_and_then @eNCA I can't forgive him for giving cape town away tk digital nomads and Airbnb pushing locals out

@eNCA Him and his party are not putting South Africans first

Geordin Hill-Lewis has one promise to South Africans: building a stronger country for everyone. He was delivering his acceptance speech as Federal Leader of the DA. Tune in to #eNCA, channel #DStv403.

@Olivia_LaGrange @reallySober What lie was that?

@reallySober I doubt there is a capable one. Look at the new DA leader, he LIED just over a year ago, and when I called him out he blocked me. His lie was proven as well.... I don't trust any current white leader

Would you support a white South African president if the person was the best for the job?

@KatlegoMaseng1 How kaizer chiefs have not released is autobiography and thr story of chiefs formation is sleeping on the job.

From dusty streets in Soweto to building a football empire 🇿🇦🔥 Meet Kaizer Motaung — at 16 he played for Orlando Pirates, at 24 he dominated in the USA with Atlanta Chiefs and won Rookie of the Year… then came back home in 1970 and built Kaizer Chiefs by merging his name with his American club. Today, Amakhosi is more than football: 🏆 80+ trophies 👥 15+ million fans 💰 Over R2.6 billion in jersey sales (2M+ sold with Kappa South Africa) 🏢 Own village in Naturena + retail empire 🛡️ Funeral cover backed by Hollard From kicking a ball in the streets to building a multi-billion rand brand. Start where you are. Dream bigger. Build legacy. 💛✌🏾

@Bhudda_Sai60 @SkindeepJD Selling it was sad

@SkindeepJD Blame it on SAFA

The School of Excellence golden generation was well cooked, it’s a pity we’ll never see such level in pro-football again.

@ThePsyberFox @SupaVanSA Fuck "you". Racist.

@SupaVanSA It's not in "their" culture to be thankful for anything

Our reparations bill was settled in 1994 when we handed - on a silver platter - you the keys to the largest, most sophisticated economy on the continent. Never before or since has it been achieved on the continent. What is due is a massive thank you, humility and the carrying of white people on the hands for this incredible generocity you prick @CyrilRamaphosa.

@MazzucatoM @rodrikdani So what is your opinion on South Africa requiring Tesla to make public investment and public wealth commitment etc? Thats basically what they are saying.

Tesla received billions in government loans, tax credits and subsidies, making Elon Musk the world's richest person. The public? No equity stake, no profit-sharing, no guarantee of affordable access. My working paper with @rodrikdani has now been published in Industrial and Corporate Change. It explores the conditionalities—profit-sharing, reinvestment requirements, knowledge transfer—that can ensure industrial policy delivers public value, not just private wealth. [LINK IN NEXT POST]

@BeeforBeautiful @MusaNgxabane @ramalokot He is not stupid. He justvkices Zuma beyond beyond objective . Both presidents had good and bad.

@MusaNgxabane @funkmasterdfunk @ramalokot Use you brain a bit. You think building those stadiums would take a year? Mxmm, I hate stupidity.

Did you know! 🇳🇬🇿🇼 have to travel to 🇬🇧 to see this

@MusaNgxabane @ramalokot Zuma became president in 2009. We hosted on 2010. It takes way more than 1 year to plan, approve and build a stadium. Thabo was president during the bidding and building. Zuma hosted. Fairly Zuma was deputy.

@funkmasterdfunk @ramalokot Stop distorting history. These stadiums were built under the administration of President Zuma.
