[CONSPIRACY] What do you think of this?

Lemme preface by saying I am NOT excusing any of the actions and sentiments of people who hold xenophobic or anti-immigrant beliefs. I am unfortunately Zulu myself and im honestly ashamed and disgusted at what my people are doing. This is just a random thought im having.

South Africa is being called the "Isreal of africa"...and despite my understanding of where the feelings that may develop into such a sentiment come from, i found it kind of ironic.

But putting a bit more thought into it, knowing Isreal and it's history/track record, who's to say that they DON'T have a hand in this??

I mean, yes, South Africa has been xenophobic for quite some time, but I just think it's weird how bad it is this time around, even more so how much attention it's getting. Everything is being reported on a global scale, there's no way this could happen unless the south african media wanted it to happen. Speaking of the media, when it was announced that the govt would need to expend R600 million to combat the march and march protests....first of all,how did they even come to that conclusion? What calculations were done? what factors were considered that landed them on such a budget? And most importantly, WHERE IS THAT MONEY COMING FROM?! They didnt have R600M when multiple areas in the country had no electricity, they didnt have R600M for the constant water shortages, for the potholes, the public schools, the hospitals, nothing, BUUUUT for the angry Zulus? Hell they'd probably spend billions. Worst of all, WE as the general public aren't even going to see where exactly that R600M is going. Dont get me wrong, I heard there were a few local shops that were looted, that's bad, but not R600M bad. Oh yeah, and when they reported this budget, it was also done on a global scale, it didnt feel local, almost as if it was done on purpose.

For me it ties into the question of where exactly did Jacinta and her movement gain all the capital to make her campaigns possible? Who's funding them?

The weirdest thing of all (to me anyways) is that this is all happening after our country not only condemned Isreal but even took them to court. Has Cyril been quiet because he knows he's being punished by the worlds oligarchs? Idk ...to me some pieces fit too well.

As the guy in the video is saying, South Africans generally arent Islamophobic, but somehow that's all we're seeing from the news of our new minister of education. Is it really us? And if so, why is it coming out now?

The strategy imo is very simple.

  1. Research the on-going issues within the country.

  2. Build on top of what is already present.

  3. Make sure it is known by the global public

  4. Watch the country tear itself apart

  5. Turn the global public against the country in a means to isolate it

  6. Profit.

Part of me genuinely believes that this isnt just about distracting black people from the white man's corruption, South Africa is being destabilized as punishment for trying to speak out against the elites.

Again, I'm NOT excusing the people of our country who are perpetrating these violations of human rights, at the end of the day they are still people with their own free will who should know better.

That's just my theory

New tax in the works for all car owners in South Africa

Kind of makes sense that electric car owners should also contribute but the really need to stop all the corruption at the RAF first.

Islamophobic Backlash Follows Yusuf Cassim’s Appointment Yusuf Cassim has been sworn in as South Africa’s new Deputy Minister of Higher Education and Training. His appointment was followed by Islamophobic comments on social media targeting his Muslim faith.

Since when have we been so focused on Muslims?

Seriously asking? I've seen a couple of posts not only on this sub but other subs too. With regards to Muslim politicians, and South Africans politicians' links to Islamic states and other subjects related to Muslims.

It just came out of nowhere. I understand we have a new Muslim minister, but it's not the first time we've had Muslims in government. And we've never reacted like this.

What happened? Cause this just smells a bit fishy to me.

Far Right sub?

Is this sub now completely far right ? Seeing a lot of posts that are looking more and more far right as time goes.

For eg. The guy constantly pushing anti-Muslim stuff here. There’s also been a lot of other far right posts recently.

Just want some clarity on the position of some of the members, whether you agree or disagree just please help me understand what’s going on here.

Afrikaans was first extensively written by Cape Muslims using a modified Arabic script. Around 1815, Muslim schools in Cape Town began teaching in Afrikaans instead of Malay, more than a century before Afrikaans became an official language in 1925.
