Life in South Africa will make sense and you will feel a lot less anxious if you accept and understand that there is no real government nor real state institutions here.
At the top level, there is a gang of thieves and conmen masquerading as government. They don’t really care
Corruption in SA is now so bad that US companies operating locally have taken legal advice as to whether paying tax here is possibly a violation of the American Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
That's right, paying tax in SA could be construed as aiding and abetting corruption.
White people are at most 8% of the SA population. The DA achieved 22% of the national vote. Those who claim the DA is a “white party” obviously can’t do basic maths.
Can anyone explain why Bheki Cele requires 6 BMW SUVs and a further 6 Audis to get around Cape Town? Who is in all those vehicles? And that’s before we start on the battalion of SAPS vehicles escorting him? Who does this public servant think he is, how much money is being wasted?

A strike is when workers don't pitch up for work. This is not what this is.
Burning buses, stoning cars and blocking highways is not a "strike". This is a war on the residents of the city.

So the minister berates the city for making up bylaws to impound taxis and reminds them that this falls under the national Land Transport Act.

South African X/Twitter is depressing because it highlights how utterly stupid and childish this nation is as a whole.

Judging by the barrage of hateful tweets, it’s clearly open season for hate speech against white South Africans. It’s starting to look like an orchestrated campaign. Shades of Bell Pottinger at work here?
If you want to understand what the real problem is in South Africa, just spend a bit of time on SA Twitter/X and you will rapidly come to the conclusion that there is a rather hopeless lack of intelligence, common sense and education.
SARS accidentally sent every past and present company owner in the country an SMS notice that they are going to be prosecuted.
This is the kind of banana republic circus act that inches us closer to not taking SARS seriously. It only brings the tax revolt closer.

It's quite sickening listening to talk show hosts on 702 as well as reading political commentary debating the merits of the EFF and how they will do in the next election as if what happened this weekend was perfectly normal, making no mention of the call to kill boers/farmers
Some thoughts.
Firstly, Gouws used taboo words to emphasize a point about … racism. The intent of what he was saying was not to be racist, it was in fact clearly a statement against racism unfortunately phrased in a way designed to shock by using racial slurs illustratively.
Obtuse, imbecilic.
Handicapping all South Africans by gatekeeping internet access for race ideology.
And they have literally just signed a UN brokered agreement that no company can be disadvantaged for not meeting race quotas if they are unreasonable and unjustified.
They’re national SAPS officers that have nothing to do with the DA so go whine at Bheki Cele and stop trying to make up shit about apartheid and the Cape.
You bring NOTHING positive to this country. You will happily let it burn with hatred YOU sow for personal political and financial profit.
You are not a leader.
How cheap of you to invoke the name of one who is to appear to show spirit at this late stage.
Has anyone noticed how a handful of isolated incidents of idiots doing racist things on social media is somehow evidence of systemic racism, yet whole stadiums full of people chanting for your death not to mention 100+ race based laws and sustained mainstream media bias is not?
The EFF is an extremist organisation built on an ideology of black supremacy.
They claim to be fighting for "economic freedom" but their true cause is the eradication of white and, increasingly, people of Indian origin in South Africa.

There are currently 32 cabinet positions in the South African government if you include the president and deputy.
The ANC is only conceding 10 positions to other GNU partners, even though it only has 40% of the vote. This does not seem reasonable?
Cyril Ramaphosa thinks the South African economy is somehow racist.
Yet somehow, himself and businessmen like Tokyo Sexwale, Patrice Motsepe, Sipho Nkosi, Herman Mashaba, etc, etc, etc managed to make billions in this "racist economy".
If you still believe you're under-represented in boardrooms after 30 years of preferential university placement & BEE because the tiny white population is ganging up on you to keep you out, then maybe it's time to question your assumptions about where the problem really lies.

As someone who has spent some time in Arab countries, I have to say that in my experience racism against black Africans is ubiquitous in the region so I find the ANC and EFF's stance on the Middle East vaguely ironic.

South Africa will be the first country where productive citizens pay 3X for healthcare:
1. For the original public healthcare system funded by taxpayers.
2. For the new NHI.
3. For private healthcare that will be the only way to actually get proper healthcare.
What a scam.
Do any of these coalition commentators blathering about “black unity” and keeping the DA out because it’s a “white party” have any self awareness of how racist they actually are?
Can anyone explain why short term insurance premiums have annual increases when the sums insured do not change in value, and in the case of vehicles, actually depreciate?
Seems like a gigantic scam.
What is the reason for the clear double standard where everyone piles on the relatively rare event where a white South African says or does something even mildly off colour, but certain other demographics seem to get a free pass on copious hate speech and hate crimes?
Words and phrases like "settler", "coloniser" and "land thieves" used against white people in South Africa are actually far worse hate speech than the "K" word as they are marking people for actual eradication if taken to their logical conclusion vs. being merely insulting terms.
The DA's nanny bureaucracy is so out of control that there's a 5 month delay for "permission" to install solar panels in Cape Town.

Sorry but WTAF??!!
I had at least thought that when the Chinese government offered us generators to “keep government facilities running during load shedding” they meant serious equipment with proper insulation and exhaust systems that would power a small building or office
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 Energy Action Plan to ultimately end load shedding and create sustainable energy security.
I know this will be greeted with derision but I maintain that it’s true.
Due to our history, white South Africans as a whole (there are obviously exceptions but they are few and far between) are probably the most anti-racist distinct ethnic group of people on the planet as we

The reason why organised crime can never be dealt with in South Africa is because the main cartel is the ANC itself, masquerading as a government.
Until we acknowledge this as a nation, there will be no progress.
In a typical year in South Africa, 300 000 people contract TB (an airborne disease) and 60 000 die from it (2018).
Yet there have been no curfews, no lock downs, no closed shops and businesses due to TB.
What’s really going on here?
Do people realise that South Africa has not technically been a democracy since 23 March?
For over 4 months there has been no parliamentary oversight of the executive and the country is ruled by decree.
This cannot be constitutional, by any stretch of the imagination.

How far we have fallen.
We built a nuclear power station a whole decade before China built their first one but now we bow and scrape before the Chinese for handouts of generators.

The cancellation of Matric rage, where testing and vaccination were mandatory requirements, is actually a huge blow to the mandatory vaccine movement.

Apparently, the EFF’s only hope in the Western Cape is to encourage voter fraud.
