Just in time to go through South Africa's ports that the ANC government has run into a nightmarish state of chaos and disfunction.

The container backlog at our 3 major ports stood at 100 000 at the beginning of Desember. The congestion crisis at South Africa’s state-run ports has resulted in cargo ships having to wait 215+ hours at Port Nqura and 32 hours to enter Port Elizabeth port. Meanwhile, the wait to enter the Durban port stood at 227+ hours at the end of Nov.

THREAD:

Seeing as the South African government's racially discriminatory policies are being discussed internationally in regards to their recently tabled race quotas for water use.

Here is a detailed thread on how race-mad the SA government really is: Image Striking example is the government’s 2020 Tourism Relief Fund, which, during the COVID pandemic, used the racial make-up of the ownership of struggling businesses to determine whether they qualified to receive relief funds.

The reactions to the AfriForum v Malema/EFF case, & Malema's disturbing remarks in particular, has again revealed the nature of white progressive liberals' thinking regarding race.

The idea of paternalism championed by the British Empire never ended after all.

Thread: White progressive liberals tend to see themselves as having a guardianship role in relation to their black compatriots.

All the blue checkmarks pretending like they're violent revolutionaries after #RuthBaderGinsburg's death.

They do have one thing in common with revolutionary leaders: they talk a big game while expecting others to be the cannon fodder. We must establish the Soyviet Union!

A Destructive Lie Thread

In 2017 the towns of #Coligny & nearby Lichtenburg were the scene of extensive rioting following the death of a teen, Matlhomola Mosweu, who died en route to the police station after being apprehended by 2 white farmers for allegedly stealing sunflowers. An eyewitness, Bonakele Pakisi, claimed he saw the farmers throw the teen from the van.

They pleaded not guilty, claiming that the teen had jumped from the back.

They were found guilty of murder, kidnapping, intimidation, theft, & pointing a firearm.
