I can't stop thinking about the Afrikaans university being build. White people mobilized 300 million amongst themselves. This uni is already under construction, and whites have yet again created an employment project worth 4,5 million. Dear black people.... (THREAD) stay with me!
Dear black people, whilst we are busy killing each other, white people are BUILDING THEMSELVES. Whilst we are busy violating, abusing & committing femicide, white people are BUILDING THEMSELVES. Whilst we are busy "shutting down" the country, white people are BUILDING THEMSELVES
Dear black people, whilst we are busy being "activists", "feminists" and so forth and so on, WHITE PEOPLE ARE BUILDING FOR THEMSELVES. Whilst we are busy "Thuma mina-ring", WHITE PEOPLE ARE BUILDING. Building generational wealth, a whole university and they are successful at it!
Dear black people, whilst we are busy looting our own economies, killing each other over tenders, calling each other names & burning the country to ashes through "strikes"— WHITE PEOPLE ARE BUILDING! If this doesn't do something to you, then clearly, black people are abnormal!
Dear black people, ARE WE REALLY FREE? This freedom we keep talking about, is it also ours? Do we ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT FREEDOM REALLY FEELS LIKE? Did INDEPENDENCE REALLY COME? This "liberation" we keep referring to, do we know what we are talking about? Hayini bafethu! Cha!
We have black millionaires and billionaires, WHAT ARE THEY DOING FOR THEIR OWN-KIND? These rich black Afrikan people, how MANY universities and schools did they build? I'm not talking about "foundations" I'm talking about physical tangibles, how many have done so?
Dear black people, could it be that there's actually something amiss with the color black? Like, what is WRONG with us? With our leaders? With our communities and societies? We can't keep pretending that we 'aight! B/c something doesn't add up. How can this be just fine?
You hardly see whites in these "shut downs". How many white "activists and feminists" do y'all actually see on the ground? How many white "foot soldiers" do you see at grassroots level? How many whites do you see in public schools or using public health?
Dear black people, it IS TIME to INTERROGATE certain terms in order to understand what's amiss. Freedom is nothing but coerced peace. Independence is just an expensive word used to describe a pretend winning over the war. Things like the "struggle" is fancy NONSENSE!
If our leaders REALLY "fought for freedom", why haven't we tasted it 25 years, 30 years, 60 years after the so called "independence"? Where's the equality our ancestors fought for? Where's the equal distribution of wealth our "leaders" went to the "struggle" for? Where's it?
Blacks remain in abject poverty, the MAJORITY remains the oppressed of the MINORITY. Freedom is a fallacy! There's no such thing!

If the white minority could collectively and unitedly mobilize R300 million for a university, then they might as well govern the ENTIRE country!
Our black millionaires and billionaires have "foundations". I don't know whether our people actually fathom the concept thereof. What tangibles have these foundations? How many schools and universities and hospitals have they build? Who are these rich black people's customers?
... You guess it, it is poor black people— they're the rich black people's customers YET DOLOLO BENEFITS TO THEM! How many foundations have sent students to university on FULL SCHOLARSHIP? How many foundations has helped young entrepreneurs with their start-ups?
Training entrepreneurs without seed or capital injection is like teaching a man how to fish without providing him the fish-stick (vis stok). So, how exactly do you expect him to catch the fish again? Trainings are there to empower and develop but what's all that without capital?
These rich black people, they use black backs, black bodies to become rich, yet no black leader & the rich are thinking of the now future. Whites understand vision, they fathom GENERATIONAL WEALTH. The concept of CONSTANT CIRCULATION OF MONEY WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES IS A MUST!
Our black leaders and the rich blacks are STEALING FROM THEMSELVES. They are disadvantaging us and our futures, they are ensuring that the color black remain in abject poverty. How long must the West come "build" and "assist" the color black? How long? I am asking HOW LONG?
We've black apartheid enough. We've blamed the WMC enough. We've blamed the rogue unit enough. We've blamed the white controlled media enough. When are we going to blame the ANC, SWAPO, CCM, FRELIMO, ZANU-PF, and all other ruling parties and liberation movements in Afrika? When?
When is the color black going to boycott the #AU? When are we going to boycott the World Bank-IMF? When are we going to boycott #SACU #SADC #EAC #ECOWAS #PANAFRIKANPARLIAMENT???? These bodies are what is killing us! Nobody is actually interested in SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS.
Dear black people— WAKE THE FUCKING FUCK UP! When will it be out turn? Our turn to provide the basic necessities to our parents, grams, siblings, cousins without stressing over being in the minus? Our parents broke their backs for us YET we can't give them comfortability, WHY?
This Afrikaans university has triggered me. What good is being a young diplomat if I can't provide employment, development and seed/capital injections to well deserved people? These titles don't mean anything if I can't advance my own color black! I'm triggered guys! I'm tired!
Black rich celebrities, what are they doing for their communities? How are they adding value to their communities? Yeah, it's not their job to save the world, BUT WE, POOR BLACK PEOPLE ARE BUYING THEIR PRODUCTS, WE BOOST THEIR BRANDS, so, THEY must bring THEIR contributions too!
America is "empowering" Young Afrikan Leaders through #YALI. Imagine, the same West which we hate is the same West creating opportunities and training our bright minds. Why isn't the #AU doing that? Black Afrikans must go get free education through scholarships from USA & the UK!
Dear black people— Do we wait for another Afrikaans university to get build elsewhere before we wake up? And realize that our own governments are fucking us? That our own leaders are trading us? Selling us to the highest bidders?
... Dear black people— when shall we actually realize that our own black rich have no intentions of sharing their wealth? These books we are reading of how to be a millionaire or run successful businesses are nothing but CRAP! B/c many of us ought to have been rich by now!
Dear black people, Aren't you tired of poverty? tired of telling your nieces, nephews, uncles, aunties, siblings, grandparents and parents you don't have money? Aren't you tired of the struggling life? Of the deepened inequality? Aren't you tired? Because, I am!!!!
Dear black people, when will this democracy benefit us? When will freedom actually come for us? When will we be able to take our families to varsities? Help our extended families out with groceries? Adopt dogs & children? Buy our cars & houses in cash? Take safaris tours? When???
Dear black people, WHEN SHALL IT BE UHURU FOR US ALL? When? This Afrikaans university has triggered the hell out of me. R300 million???? And we are here voting for the ANC? We are here chanting Thuma Mina? He Bathong!!!! We are here being ground soldiers? AIKHONA!
I will NOT apologize for my undiplomatic tweets! Because, I'm tired. What's the luxurious life when the rest of your own kind can't even afford basic needs like food? Hayini!

🗣🗣 Tips for women—safety🗣🗣

1. The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!

2. If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse... DON'T HAND IT TO HIM!
Toss it away from you;
... Chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse.
AND RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and;
... start waving like crazy. The driver won't see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc.)... DON'T DO THIS!

Studying International Relations or Diplomacy or IRD in its entirety is DIFFERENT from being a diplomat. The challenge is, the lack of training within this field has forced Presidents to appoint (95% of most instances) military personnel because of their ethics and discipline;⤵️
Fostering foreign relations isn't a walk in the park.
1. You need to have a full comprehension of your country's foreign policies on various sectors/markets;
2. You NEED to be multi-lingual. English is NOT enough. You need to learn French, Portuguese, Spanish as basic;
If you can't learn them, have a basic understanding thereof, ESPECIALLY FRENCH.

Many MANY diplomats have escaped traps, avoided diplomatic wars and have escaped attempts on their lives from understanding a foreign language whilst pretending not to understand the language;

It's worrisome to read miscellaneous versions of thoughts and opinion on the alleged involvement of billions in tenders of Madzikane Diko. Yeah, SAY HIS NAME! It's irking to notice how NOBODY used the actual face of Madzikane Thandisizwe Diko.

It's truly a man's world! 🚮😒🚶🏽
I've read up on what I could find and nowhere does it say Khusela is directly involved and yet all publications and social media tweets/posts carries her face— WHY AREN'T THEY BARING THE FACE OF MR. DIKO? Is it bcos Khusela works in the Presidency? 🙄💁🏽
"President Cyril Ramaphosa's Spokeperson Khusela Diko's husband..." Why not "King Madzikane II Thandisizwe Diko...?" And y'all are riding the wave forgetting that this is exactly why patriarchy exist! What's difficult in stating the facts without dragging the spouse?

You see the PROBLEM with human beings— #covid19 is ONLY "hitting home" NOW that's it's no longer just numbers but ACTUAL NAMES of our loved ones. Now that these NAMES are dying from the virus, we want to act. We had the opportunity to stay safe! #covid19 was NEVER a joke! 🙄💅🏽
... when our governments were telling us to #StayAtHome & use the necessary precautions, human beings were busy suing government for loss of business, many joked about this virus & y'all took these streets armed with conspiracy theories. Kanti, the virus was ALWAYS real!😷
Human beings are complexed, lackadaisical, paradoxical and complete exhausting creatures. If ONLY we had listened from the get-go! These NAMES are those of people we know & love, only NOW it hurts. Local transimission is far dangerous then quarantining foreigners with the virus!

When covid19 was spreading via international visitors, governments could "contain" it through quarantine... But now that the virus is transmitting LOCALLY, governments are almost at the verge of giving up. They've no idea what they're doing. A for effort. Shem.
However, The biggest culprits isn't government, IT IS THE CITIZENS. Movement is the best-friend of covid19 mara citizens still refuse to stay home. Death toll is rising, relatives are dying kodwa there's STILL massive movement on the ground... Go figure!😤🙄😳😱
If only citizens would adhere to the health regulations— #StayAtHome, avoid events (funerals, weddings, parties), wear their masks, sanitize etc but nooooo! Citizens don't care about the efforts from government (keep your negativity to yourself hle).
