Yoh! It’s tough being a young, black woman! You cannot have moments of pure innocence. You must be sexualised at every turn. It doesn’t matter how educated & talented you are, you MUST be sleeping your way to the top. Sigh. It’s sad that this is what our country has been reduced to. Dirty, hyper-sexualised minds, with sewer ridden thoughts from the gutter. As you can see in the video I’ve attached below, the piano video was shot during the filming of the Black Like You audio-visual series. You can clearly hear that there are many people in the background, including Mrs Mashaba, who I admire & love with all of my heart. Mr Mashaba is like a father to me, in fact, he reminds me so much of my late father who raised me with so much love & care (may his soul continue to rest in peace). They even have a resemblance as you can see in the attached photo. That you would take such a beautiful moment & reduce it to where your filthy mind naturally wonders is sad. Very sad indeed.
Something is Fishy here, BOSA Mmusi Maimane dodged a bullet.

Boys, let me tell you something… Nothing is more important than family. During good times it may be tempting to celebrate with your friends & that’s fine but always reserve your best self & efforts for your family.

"For years, when Eskom deteriorated under André de Ruyter, we were repeatedly and often correctly reminded of the context he inherited: corruption, sabotage, criminal syndicates, political interference, ageing plants and years of inadequate maintenance. Yet when Eskom improves under a Black chairperson, a Black chief executive and a predominantly Black executive leadership, suddenly context becomes not mitigation but explanation. The improvement is because of solar. Because of business. Because demand is down. Because of government intervention. Because of reforms already under way. Blah blah blah. And almost on cue, hit pieces from Business Tech, fixating on the CEO’s remuneration, suddenly surface. South Africa has developed a peculiar evidentiary test for Black competence. Failure tends to come with names attached but success somehow belongs to everyone." Eskom board chair Mteto Nyati’s public dressing-down plays into an old racial trope dailymaverick.co.za/opinioni…
