This country doesn’t play when it comes to inclusion. I remember when we took Zozibini, a black woman without a weave to Miss universe. They didn’t know how to act. Now we are taking a deaf lady with an insane face card. They will have to have a deaf interpreter hired. ❤️🇿🇦
I read a book by Mikhail Gorbachev called Pedestroika. There's somewhere in the book where he says something like "we knew the party was over when all we could brag about was history". I think about that a lot.
Each of those 80 generators costs R10k at Makro. That is like R800k donation for the whole country. None of those generators can even run a household with a stove and fridge btw. Abuti Sputla ake le emiseng ka metlae. Please man.
The generators will be used as backup to alleviate the impacts of load shedding in the delivery of services in clinics, schools and courts whilst government continues to implement the EAP to ultimately end load shedding and create sustainable energy security

Trying to "colonize" Mars for civilization will never not be funny to me. I mean if you can make Mars habitable, why can't you just fix earth from the inhabitable mess humans are leaving it to be?
He has a diploma which is fine. But the job needs a degree. He then produces a Masters degree from Harvard (which apparently doesn’t exist) and then comes with a Doctorate degree from an “international” church. He is the boss of the biggest road agency in the land. Jesus Christ😂
When the EFF announced the date of the shutdown a month earlier, it didn’t make sense. Lol now it does. That date makes so much sense. It’s well-thought 😂.
Nonceba attacks Prof Phakeng for tweeting about Mac G, then a few weeks later,Pule Mabe, the spokesperson of the ANC, the party Nonceba also happens to lead, goes and spends an hour on Mac G’s podcast, She keeps quiet. Prof. Phakeng is clearly an easy target to you guys.
Emerald Van Zyl, a white man is fighting for us against Big banks. Probably the most important legal matter this year. Thina on the other hand, we are busy obsessing about Khune's bidvest card and fake foreign pastors 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
There's a white South African who made R11 billion last year. That's almost a billion per month. That's like R50 million every working day. Imagine R6 million every working hour. Then white South Africans want us to believe inequality is the least of our problems
Not even. I think 27-29 is ridiculously challenging. Your mind tells you you’re an under-achiever. You feel like 30 is closer and you haven’t done anything with your life. You get to 30 and realise it was all in your head,You relax, pace yourself and start to live.

Woman : Dr Phil, last week, he was 2 hours late for our anniversary 😣
Man : I am a fire fighter. I was putting out a fire😥
Dr Phil : You don't get it, do you? You're putting out fire in strangers' houses while there's a full on fire in your wife's chest!
*endless clapping*
The CEO of RAF must keep fighting until it gets to the constitutional court. Other countries require non-citizens to take up own insurance. We are losing billions to non-citizens, including illegal immigrants. About ten years ago, we paid two Europeans close to R400 million.
Bereaved families eligible for Road Accident Fund (RAF).
South African authorities say the families of the 46 Botswana citizens who were involved in a horrific bus crash in Limpopo during Easter, are eligible for road accident claims.
Forty five people died when the bus they
@_Thintitha
They are a white family. Not every white family has interracial relationships lol. They had black appearances though. Shawn mbadawe lol. The woman that Phil liked? And Kevin Hart.
@NalaThokozane
Hold on, James has a kid le Meme?
Also, he’s probably lying, no woman can keep your child away from you for 9 years in South Africa. There’s courts.
Women will tell you they need something right? Okay, then you ask them “how much do you need?” Then they go “anything you have is okay”….
Babe I have enough money, just tell me how much you need.
SA universities need to learn from TUT's portal. That thing calculates your APS against any course you wanna do and tells you right away if you qualify or not. UJ still sends emails of rejection on the basis of APS etc.
This gent was earning 64k. Even if it was gross, 64k gross is a dream to most South Africans. They are gonna make an example out of him. They are going to sentence him to something like 15 years. He will spend a minimum of 8 behind bars.
R800,000,000.00 going to one company/family for one PPE tender in a country like ours is a shame. PPE provision is generally not specialised. You should have split that into 800 tenders for about million each. That's 800 companies benefiting instead of one. But that's just me.
This case needs the minister of police and the minister of defence + intelligence to hold a presser and talk to us. There’s no way man. There’s absolutely no way.
So I am now one of the directors of the South African Road Foundation. I am also the Chairperson of their Road Safety Committee now. They made me a very very nice profile on their website. My goodness. It’s very humbling.

Ta Mike:
1. Born in the 1970’s eQonce
2.Represented EC provincial rugby team in high school.
3. Smokes whisky and cigars and loves English when he has had enough. Cannot finish a convo w/out touching on his rugby career that almost peaked. Think he’s a good boxer.
But now, the Chinese don’t buy them at Makro, they make them, so thats like half the amount. That’s R400k worth of donations. That’s like $50k. We need to be a serious country.
South Africa’s economic growth depends so much on opening up trade with African countries. Also, it will help with immigration. There’s so much to gain. E.g. We can help Zimbabwe’s economy and through that,help grow ours. But I don’t think it’s something worth debating on Twitter
Fellow South Africans, Ladies & Gentlemen, allow me to say that after 5 long years, Cde Fikile Mbalula has finally unblocked me on twitter.I would like to thank the talks delegation led by Cde

There’s a dam wall that has collapsed in NW. The spokesperson of the municipality in question says the dam isn’t owned by any of the local mining companies. He says they are yet to confirm if it is owned by them, province or national gov. How do you not know who owns a whole dam?
Everyone has a story of how they used to have a railway line in their township. PRASA is such a spectacular tragedy. The deterioration has just been unbelievable. This is an organisation with 17000 employees and a budget of about R60billion.
@BlueBullsRugby
Talking of apartheid. Around the same time, the apartheid government had already made plans to kill Steve Biko. They'd arrest him about 3 weeks after this rugby game and they kill him like a dog on September 12, not far from this very stadium.
My mom just took out curtains in my bedroom at 6:30am and instructed me to go sleep in another bedroom like my master of engineering dissertation isn't under exam at UCT. Wow 💔
@ferialhaffajee
That’s not how it works. You don’t just use averages on an institution with income disparities like Eskom. Their top management earns ridiculously high and their entry level employees could be earning very low.
As a manager, you cannot thrive on fear. It’s not sustainable. Be a good human. Build your subordinates and instill confidence in them and see them give you their best. Don’t be a dinosaur at work.
@Phathu_Mush
Not practical. You have a lot of unskilled, then you have a huge proportion of semi-skilled not working. Then you have graduates not employed. Then the employed black earning meagre salaries. There’s no decent grant for the unemployed. People will take that +-2k p/m to survive
@gugulethubranch
His immense contribution to the English language, particularly in the sporting fraternity, didn’t go unnoticed. What a man. We have truly lost an icon🙏🏾🕊️
Exactly 4 years ago around this time, I had just quit my Masters programme at UCT because life was showing me flames and my mental health was messed up. Took a 6-month break, came back six months later and I did the job. It’s always good to take a break when it gets too blurry.
Theoretically, there's a lot of earth-like planets and civilizations out there. Atleast that's what the Drake equation suggests. But there's just one earth we know or that we can atleast access. We mess this one up, we are fucked.
The town of Clarens doesn’t allow franchises in the business space. The only franchise here is Protea Hotel and the Puma garage. I don’t have enough background of economics to explain how they run things but it’s a dope case study. Probably the only town in FS that keeps growing
@BusinessTechSA
It’s called Travel Demand Management and it’s a little unfair to impose it if your don’t have a better alternative. Let’s work on improving the quality of our public transport before forcing people out of their cars. Please man. Please.
If you’ve ever dated someone with a void disguised as a need for companionship, you’ll quickly notice some signs. Not even relationship happiness can help. With or without a bf, she’ll still need to confront this.
