Poverty is criminalised in SA. If you’re poor, law enforcement will treat you like you have already been convicted.

337 lives lost in the unrest that followed Jacob Zuma’s imprisonment. That’s almost ten times the number of miners killed in the Marikana massacre. And twice the fatalities linked to the Life Esidimeni scandal. As yet, nobody has been properly held responsible for any of it.

Gauteng: With a #COVID19 case incidence now below 5 new cases per 100k per day, and test positivity below 10%, I think we can declare the #3rdWave IN GAUTENG to have passed 😫 Hospitalisations and deaths steadily declining 📉 I hope to never have to share this graph ever again!

Good morning Sunday! Welcome to the SAfmRadio 📻 #JSB. We’ll celebrate #InternationalLiteracyDay with Gcina Mhlophe, clean beaches with Minister of Environment, Forestry & Fisheries 🇿🇦 and Lorenzo Davids will talk to his #roadtripconversations but first a South African sunset

@ZacMoselane The burden is left on the single Mom, Parents and the working Uncle to look after a Player's child. The Player often comes with lame excuses. Like they upset him last time in that family 😑 Years later the Player will want to be on graduation Pics of a kid they never cared abt

South Africans have the terrible resilience that comes from surviving repeated, unpredictable abuses. This country has post - and present - traumatic stress disorder.

Talking world records John Perlman 67 Blankets broke a Guinness World Record in 2015, it was the largest area covered by a blanket - it covered 3133 sm with handmade blankets made by the knitwits of 67 Blankets for Nelson Mandela Day. It was at the Union Building.
