Some of you tend to think YOUR “African Culture” is or should be the “African culture” of every African on the continent

This country is blessed to have: (1) The kind of robust investigative journalism that it has; (2) The kind of civil society that it has; (3) The kind of judiciary that it has.

You see the video clip? It is apartheid! It is de Villiers! It’s not us. He made the decision not to invest in rail in 1986. After we took over nine years later in 1994 the same de Villiers froze our brains so that we don’t reverse his decision of not investing in rail. Instead

Wake up Bahlali. Here is a full clip of Minister of Transport blaming the Apartheid Government for the state of our rail services. It's not just Lindiwe Zulu. It looks like the ANC is still blaming the apartheid for its failures, unless if I don't understand English.

IOL reports: “ANC shocked by the scale of corruption.” WTF? On whose watch did it happen? Are these not their cadres & deployees? Was the ANC not in SA over the years when media relentlessly exposed rampant corruption? Didn’t ANC insult & condemn those who exposed it? Really wtf?

She is not aware that is not about her son. When people look at that picture they don't see a son who is allowed by his mom to be a monkey. Instead they see a Black boy, a representation of Black people the world over who have been referred to as monkeys by White racists

I love the fact that my children’s mayor in Boksburg, Mzwandile Masina, is engaged in PhD research. I love it when these young politicians make education fashionable. He’s following the excellent trend set by his former comrades, the current EFF leaders

1. Britain has finally returned this crown and a few other national treasures and works of spiritual heritage held in museums in the UK, Belgium and the Netherlands, to Ethiopia. This was just part of African art looted by British soldiers in 1868 after the Battle of Magdala.

The idea of a cabinet reshuffle does not make sense to me. The current cabinet is Zuma’s & is composed of people he felt he could work with in pursuit of his agenda. @CyrilRamaphosa needs to choose his own cabinet that shares his vision.

Re-watching Tembeka Ngcukaitobi at The Hague. I think what makes him such a great lawyer is that he is very human, with human feelings and human emotions.
