The gag is that these two lovebirds did NOT keep their relationship secret. Since they met and fell in love, they regularly post about their life together.
Somehow people just *assumed* they were anything but a couple despite their openly loving each other.
I love it for them 😄
Miss Argentina and Miss Puerto Rico announce they are now married.
The couple, Mariana Varela and Fabiola Valentín, kept their relationship a secret since meeting at Miss Grand International 2020.
Namibia says fair is fair, & turns the visa table on non-reciprocating countries.
From April 2025, citizens of Canada, Germany, US, UK & 29 other countries, will need a visa to enter Namibia. If Namibians pay for your visa, you’ll pay for theirs 🙅🏾
Homophobia is now a crime in Switzerland 🇨🇭🙌🏾
The criminalisation of homophobia is an extension of a Swiss anti-hate law that already criminalises racism.
Anyone who violates the law, either with racist or homophobic acts, can be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison.
In a landmark decision, Australia Aboriginals can now exercise their right to sue for colonial land loss.
The government will need to pay out billions of dollars in compensation 🙌🏾
“Avoiding the theatre of spectacle” 🤌🏾
SA has chosen, instead, to focus on the law, the rights of individuals and the collective, and the need to preserve humanity.
Powerful.
On 2 June, Grayson Beare (44) murdered Halima Hoosen-Preston in cold blood because she was pro-Palestine.
Grayson also attacked and seriously wounded Halima’s husband and son.
Grayson committed murder, attempted murder AND a hate crime.
He appeared in court today.
I keep thinking about Siyamthanda "Siya" Kolisi recalling how, in 2007, he watched the Rugby World Cup final KwaGqalane eZwide…
Today, in Tokyo, he captained his brothers-in-arms to victory.
His father wasn't at the tavern to watch his son.
He was in the stadium.

Hi
@Shell
,
This is NOT IT!
You systemically underpay service station employees (such that most of them can't afford any of the very cars they tend to) & entrench inequality.
Using a staff member's act of kindness for YOUR PR (and thus profit) is shameful.
No. No. No.
People test negative for coronavirus… they are all immediately quarantined because they traveled from China.
People traveling from Europe (which is now the epicentre of the virus) are ALL presumed well… some test positive & are 'trusted' to self-isolate.
We live in a parody.
Johan Pieter Sonnenberg, a predator, sentenced to 3 life terms for murdering young men.
He buried his victims on his game farm in the Free State.
"Free state farmer" is not how you spell his name or what he really is. ✌🏾️
It's business as usual at the Bree Taxi Rank, where a litany of commuters flock daily. People seem to been indifferent about taking precautionary measures against

What a way to strike!
They want to keep doing their jobs.
They don't want to inconvenience passengers.
The bus companies/government incur costs & lose revenue.
A reminder that South Africa did NOT say a state doesn't have a right to self defence.
It stated (as the law states clearly) that the right to self defence is not absolute and that no state has a right to violate international law and commit genocide.
R4000 per month?!
That's not even enough to buy one MaXhosa bra.
Please, please don't exploit cheap labour to make, market and sell expensive clothes and decor, and call it a 'residency'.
PLEASE.
I beg of you.
MaXhosa Africa 2023 Residency Programme:
We are proud to announce the MaXhosa Africa 2023 Residency Programme:
This is an exciting opportunity for individuals to showcase their capability and capacity to perform in the fast-paced world of high-fashion design, production,
This is a rather reckless statement to make.
Milpark is a great health facility treating multitudes daily. People can and will still die even at the best facilities.
That does not make them overrated…
1. Cape Town is the most unequal city in the world's most unequal country.
2. Apartheid geographies pervade the WC, so much that Cape Town is the most segregated city in the country. The poorer & blacker you are, the further away from 'capital' you are.
3. Never mind the gangs…
Peter & Candace Myers took a week long holiday in Europe (Switzerland, Czech Republic & Austria) at the height of a pandemic & brought back the virus to South Africa, but have the nerve, the temerity, the AUDACITY to say they took 'every precaution' to gain sympathy.
😐🤬😳
A man allegedly rapes a woman in the house he shares with his wife & children.
The (then) wife divorces him & learns he was diverting his assets so she & their children don’t directly access them.
& there are articles about how to ‘win’ like him?!
Throw the whole world away.
BREAKING: African National Congress (ANC) and it's largest rival, the white-led, pro-business Democratic Alliance have reached a deal to form a unity government.

A 20-year-old with children aged 7 years, 6 years & 7 months is a survivor of rape & trauma.
She's charged with 'desertion', but not a single mention of the rapist/s, adults in her family, social workers…
A travesty.
The 'desertion'? Her going to work. Neighbours reported her.
120 years ago today ovaHerero launched a rebellion in Namibia.
7 months later the genocide of ovaHerero started.
German General Lothar von Trotha issued the annihilation order, calling it "a race war" against "non-humans"
It would last 4 years.
Never forget.

John Dugard is 87 (eighty-seven) and STILL fighting for justice.
Pretty much everyone that studied international law in (at least) South(ern) Africa after 1964 has used his work.
Man. Listen.
I can't dissociate TB Joshua from the violence of some of his 'evangelism'… nor for the lack accountability for the 115 people that died on 12 September 2014… nor how his church "training" pushed someone I knew to suicide… for the many lives altered.
🤷🏾
Killed* not euthanised.
And the human (Martin 'Rassie' Erasmus) that held her in captivity is only mentioned in passing, as though Sheba was the problem… *Heavy sigh*
We don't care what Frederik thinks about politics in 2019, he must tell us where the bodies are buried & account for his central role in crimes against humanity. ✌🏾️

Motlodwa got 8 distinctions and says, as a women of colour, she is so proud of her success. She is off to study actuarial science.
@TeamNews24
Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma is an ANC NEC member, anti-apartheid activist, medical doctor, Minister, Chancellor of the University of Limpopo AND the 3rd Chair of the African Union Commission.
Reducing her to someone’s ‘ex’, as if THAT’s why she’s an asset to the ANC is sexist & lazy.
The ANC national leadership will deploy Jacob Zuma’s former wife Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma and one of his erstwhile close allies Zweli Mkhize to try to neutralise the former president’s breakaway party in KZN.
The amount of time it takes the average South African woman to save R100 000… then to have it all gambled away in a week by your child?
Yhuuuuu.
That story has really cut me deep.

Two Americans that overstayed are at immigration audaciously arguing with BMA agents.
They are saying SA ‘let them stay for as long as they wanted’
BMA: ‘We didn’t let you stay. You overstayed.’
American 1: But we can stay for as long as we like in Europe.
BMA: Is this Europe?
There is something deeply racist about the way the wealth (or financial & fashion choices) of Black people is instrumentalised & weaponised in this way.
You could, as many have, focus on the issues… instead you, ironically, chose to amplify systemic racism.
Well done, Natasha.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but CEO is gender neutral, there’s no need for SheEO.
Amandla is gender neutral, there’s no need for Womandla.
If you must gender ‘hero’, you say ‘heroine’, not Shero.
& a conversation about gender isn’t just about women.
Please & thank you.
Testosterone is not a male hormone.
It is a hormone secreted by testicles AND ovaries.
Hormones aren't gendered/sexed.
Calling it "male" is a way to endorse the continued persecution of women with high levels of testosterone.
The official eulogy for Sindi made public by Kaya FM. The station that brought her back to her first love.
She loved God, Google, Woolies and LV.
She loved Marinus, Nandi & Manie.
She lived.

First it was, 'Why aren't there any coronavirus cases in Africa? THE CORONAVIRUS MUST SPREAD TO AFRICA!'
Then, 'Oooh, it's there now. HOW COME THEY DON'T HAVE AS MANY PEOPLE INFECTED AS WE DO?'
Now, 'Why are they not dying at the rate we are?'
Appalling, really.
Appalling.
