Isn’t this just the most South African thing you’ve seen? South Ah mindset in one video. A touch unhinged, main character, self-love, a family deeply dysfunctional indoors, but when emphakathini, during the people: united front that will show you jou Ma se vader if you try it. 😂

Satafrika. I was amazed to discover there is an entire genre on TikTok of people across the world talking about why it isn’t a good idea to mess with South Africans online. Kuthiwa we are onbeskof, siyathukana, roastmasters only rivalled by the Beyhive and Swifties. Why ni so? 💀

After a maddening week, some of the best unserious responses from white South Africans to Tr**p’s invitation. You legends, you. Speaking up (and poking fun) was, is, important to debunk the lies. Re kao fela. 🤙🏾🇿🇦

I’ve been reading a lot about Simon Nkoli of late. His coming out as gay during his imprisonment as part of the Delmas 22 in the 80s helped shift the ANC & broader liberation movement’s stance on discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. By the 90s, he & others lobbied directly for its constitutional protection, and it was. We do not honour him enough for the intersectionality of his anti-Apartheid work, and the need for the protection of human rights to continue to be thus.

You are denying yourself joy and a source of immense personal & national pride, bhut’wam. Give it a shot & remember that aboMampimpi and others also grew up with immense hardship in hoods & villages. They need your support too. Angilwi. Just want to make your joy bigger ♥️🤗

South Ah why like this? Why so unserious? Why humour trauma response? Why nothing not a joke? Asks me, who has had to learn that not everyone deals with life like so & inappropriate humour is rarely appreciated at awkward/tense/tragic/embarrassing moments like at home.

A call for a positive portrayal of South Africa answered: How many young people embrace unity, free from ingrained racism. A thread of the cherished tradition returns: inter-school competition cheers and war cries.

I still can’t believe Elon Musk thought he could hate tweet himself into an ICASA license. He must blame whoever didn’t warn him about going up against the hornet’s nest that is SA Twitter. Brother, It would have been easier to just apply & deal with ICASA. Trevor said it best.

You damn near in tears, American accent gone, sounding hella South African because someone made a joke about you & you felt more people should have empathy for you, feel sorry for you, because Tesla was being boycotted cutting its stock price in half because you decided to be pander to Neo-N*z*s. Spare us.
