There was a thread recently about how kids in the Cape Flats can tell the difference, from sound alone, between a bullet that’s missed and a bullet that’s hit a human body. But okay.
Every time I hear of mass shootings in the US I think about how safe we actually are in South Africa.

The CBD has such amazing potential to be a starting point of real, grassroots economic development, wealth creation and social development.

The Johannesburg Social Housing Company is mandated to build social housing for indigent people. The City has the real estate to do so. There are many vacant buildings all over the CBD waiting to be developed. I live here so I know they haven’t started.

They don’t even have to do the work themselves. Most of the social justice organizations that work in the CBD have the data needed to tell the city where people are living and if they’re at risk.

If she’s selling the ID and reading glasses and his inauguration suit what’s going to be in the Memorial Garden?
Nelson Mandela's ID book is among the items to be auctioned by his daughter Makaziwe to raise funds for a Mandela Memorial Garden in Qunu, Eastern Cape. After a two-year legal battle and objections from the SA government, she won the right to do the auction.

It is unspeakably cruel to brutalize millions of people for hundreds of years and then claim you’re the great victims of that history.
Its better when you’re told you’re subhuman and deserve your subjugation. This attempt at gaslighting is demonic.

This year someone randomly walked up to me and asked me for proof that I was South African like my ID or something. I’m dark skinned and Venda with an ambiguous accent. Any of those types of chats make me so uncomfortable.
What radicalised me against xenophobia was the 2008 xenophobic attacks in South Africa. I was just a dark skinned kid trying to go to school and I was met with “verification” tests at every corner to prove that I’m South African. Ducking and diving violence at every corner.

A maintenance case went all the way to the Constitutional Court of South Africa coz dude had just failed, after several court orders, to pay maintenance of a child he knew was his after he ordered about 9 paternity tests.
I have been shook ever since.
Your sons even quit their jobs to avoid paying maintenance. Men who’d rather starve themselves than raise their own flesh and blood. This is the calibre of men we’re told to “pick wisely” from Nkosi yam. 💀

Part of the reason BBLs are so popular is the belief that this kind of super curvy body is the default when it isn’t. When you don’t look like the default you then feel odd or abnormal. This is not a “natural” SA female physique. Mbali greedy tho.
