I heard that you can now buy a teaspoon of oil at spaza shops. That's how much people are struggling. Cooking oil prices have reportedly increased by 60% since last year. To have a President give a speech without detailed socio-economic relief measures is enraging #Level4

As R Kelly's guilty verdict settles in, a man who escaped accountability for too long due to his fame, money and power. I can't help but think of our own SA survivors at the hands of popular musicians. Particularly those two men DJ's. Hoping their survivors receive justice too

The MK leader who was encouraging public violence and destruction in defense of her corrupt father is now headed to parliament. She will now be called an “Honourable”. Had the state held them accountable, things would have been different.

Where is evidence that Zuma tried to dismantle white supremacy and hold apartheid leaders accountable? Instead of attempting to alter economic inequality, he stole. Zuma and those close to him stole money that could have been used for healthcare and education Niyadika shem

The median wage in South Africa is reportedly R3 300 a month. South African Members of Parliament earn more than a million a year (with perks). How do we have a President so out of touch with reality and inequality in this country?

Unfortunately, we have to reinforce feminist gains and theory continuously. Because society and patriarchal institutions work so hard to reverse them. Look at what's happening with women’s reproductive rights in the USA. They thought they won and settled the argument in 1973

Last week, this message was posted by #NSFAS . Since then, a young woman- Yonwabo Manyanya, died of "hunger and fatigue after spending three days sleeping outside the campus." This is beyond painful. The inactions of leaders like Blade and the likes have real-life consequences.💔

Most South African public universities were BUILT by Black labour and built on Black dispossessed land. In fact, UCT is built on top of slave graves. We will take pride in these universities because they belong to us, and they will bend to our will. Thanks

"Kleva Blacks" have this empty pride about going to Wits, Tukkies, UJ, UCT, etc but never bother to ask themselves about "Which university has my people built" since we appreciate "Black Excellence", Which "excellence"? Going to same university as Whites is the "excellence"?
