Happy 31st anniversary of our first democratic elections, South Africa. 🇿🇦♥️ Today, I honour the sacrifices of those who fought - and paid dearly - for our freedom. I carry their courage with me in my heart every day, but never more profoundly than when I walked onto the stage…
South Africa ranked among the top 10 destinations in the world by Telegraph readers. In another survey, Cape Town was named the best city in the world for nightlife in the Times’ 2025 Global Nightlife Report. Winning and winning and winning. thesouthafrican.com/news/south-afr…

Suddenly I’m a Kaizer Chiefs fan because I must get this jerezi and wear it unironically.

You use your internet access powers for evil. The internet must be closed once and for all. I ask for a nice skipa and you put me in other parties’ skipas. Mayivalwe. 🥲💀

An old picture you took that you still love?
🚨 TikTok and X = hotspots for hate. Women in SA politics faced a storm of sexist abuse during #Election2024, often in languages platforms ignore. From “ugly” to “Satan”, the slurs flooded in. Platforms stayed silent. 📖 Read ADDO's summary: bit.ly/46ukrhD #OGBV
The tweet that undid MAGA. Two weeks of utter Epstein list chaos. A bomb was indeed dropped, I fear.
Same. Cuckoo.
I have a rare mental disorder that causes me to believe rational arguments and accurate data will cause people to change their mind.
My mind doesn’t sexualise young girls. My mind doesn’t think women wearing short skirts are asking to be objectified and raped by men. I don’t think them sluts. If that makes me a fool, baby paint my face, add a clown suit and call me Boo Boo The Clown once.
Wearing a short skirt automatically makes one a "hoe." A young girl wearing a short skirt is a young "hoe." I hate social media so much. It exposes you to the rot of human society you would otherwise never allow in your orbit. But I suppose, nothing cures better than exposure to…
They aren't used to female freedom in their countries, nor autonomy, our women are just c*m dumpsters (willingly), if I may add. All they see is nyash and unmatched beauty for conquering. #SithuleSibukele
What must the male teacher do with them instead? What does the length of her skirt have to do with a male teacher’s job to TEACH? Short skirt so she must want to be objectified and sexualised? Hhelekh’ man. Sikude. Far far away.
