The gravy train building more steam?

Looking at the track record of SOEs, is this really the answer to stabilising fuel issues in SA?

This is a deep concern.

I have noticed now that Hamas and ISIS are being accepted in South Africa. Yesterday, pro-Palestine people were screaming and disrupting the peace at Sea Point, saying “bomb, bomb Tel Aviv.” Straight after that, they had a gathering at the Castle crying about people being killed in Gaza.

They are using Mandela’s name in vain and have the media wrapped around their fingers. Because they have connected the word “apartheid” to Gaza, they somehow connect Mandela’s legacy to Hamas winning the war against the Jews, and thus somehow make it South Africa’s responsibility.

I heard an eNCA interview with a guy at the Castle, and he said, “us South Africans fighting against oppression in Gaza.” He is clearly not South African. His heart is aligned with an Arab land, people, and dogma from that small strip of land the size of Blouberg Beach. Yet because of the wordplay used, as mentioned above, we are expected to believe he is African?

They are manipulating narratives and abusing the freedom of expression and protest we have in this country. Freedom of expression doesn't allow ones mouth to run wild and scream to a group of people in a restaurant bomb bomb telaviv or death death to the idf. The police where there and they did nothing. They going to Jewish run business in sea point and chanting to bomb.

They are also placing themselves very smartly by going to the freedom steps outside St George’s Cathedral and waving that flag around a Christian place of worship, destroying peace. They say it is because of Mandela and Desmond Tutu.

Let’s not forget Mandela was a Christian, and Mandela fought for peace, not for one side to take over the narrative. He fought for acceptance and for everyone to get along, not for Arabs to win a war against Jews.

Even the church has been morally corrupted to allow this, as Jesus was born where? Why are they showing support for the birth area of Jesus to be ruled by the iron fist of Islamic radicals like Hamas?

Real Africans are getting kicked out of this country by South Africans, yet everyone is fine with a group of people importing Islamic extremism into African soil because they are guilt-tripping us about Mandela?

Look, war is horrific. I absolutely do not agree with it. But it seems like it is being used as an excuse to breed and spread a dogma of hate in South Africa.

I think the Islamic state wants control over the docks in South Africa. That’s why they are pushing this, as if they can control the Strait of Hormuz and South African ports.

I think the ANC and EFF are bought, and the DA are scared babies. And I don’t know what to do, as it’s getting worse. This is becoming a breeding ground for Islamic extremism, ideology, and hate. People have become scared and they are using fear to shut up people like they do in Iran and all over. But in cape town ???!!!! You can't point out hipocracies or debate matters or simple say as a community we don't want people protesting here every weekend ruining a walkway designed for people to excercise not protest.

I am watching cape town fall and it's because of the leaders being cowards or bought.

Can you guess what they rated boerewors before watching the video?

Not sure if anyone has heard the news about this coming Super Elnino?

Government coming for your borehole, next will most probably be your fruit trees....

>Under the draft regulations, all borehole owners would need to capture their details and borehole information on the National Groundwater Archive.

>Anyone planning to drill a new borehole would first need to obtain a geosite identifier before drilling can begin.

>The regulations also require drillers and water users to submit drilling data within two months of completing a project.

>Additionally, anyone installing pumping equipment must provide yield test results and recommended sustainable abstraction rates before groundwater extraction begins.

>The department said tighter controls are necessary because groundwater reserves are increasingly under pressure.

I'm in grade 10 right now, and I'm STRUGGLING. Everything just got 100 times tougher, and it's impossible for me to keep up, especially since I already started behind on the year. It's so hard that I have to put all my focus into just one subject to even move a singleton forward, but then I fall further behind on all the other 7 subjects I have to do,

Every time I make even a little bit of progress in one of my subjects, thinking that I finally starting to understand things, they just up the difficulty again, and I'm back to square one. I literally cannot deal with this. We start exams on Friday and I still have no idea what's going on anywhere.

I already failed term 1. If I fail term 2 as well then its wraps for me.

Hey. I've tried a few butchers and an quite disappointed so far.

There are these super fancy butchers which are great but are clearly not for people in my financial lane.

I'm looking for some quality whole sale type butchers that aren't part of a chain store like food lovers spar etc...
