feeling unwelcome.
This is not to suggest that every march is violent or that everyone who stays away shares these concerns. Nor am I claiming to represent an entire racial group.
My point is straightforward: absence from a march does not automatically equal indifference,

Beautiful speech. Now let’s hear one directed at the greedy, selfish and incompetent African leaders who have failed their own people, forcing millions to flee their countries in search of survival elsewhere.
What would Tsietsi Mashinini, Steve Biko, Chris Hani and Solomon Mahlangu say if they witnessed Africans turning against one another while the very leaders responsible for their suffering continue to enjoy the privileges of power?
Why is the anger directed at South Africans who are also struggling, while African leaders who have failed their own citizens are spared accountability?
You cannot preach African unity while ignoring African suffering. We cannot keep blaming ordinary South Africans for questioning a crisis that political leaders across the continent have failed to address.

Let me help you understand because I see that you are trying to judge the architecture of the universe by using the logic of a village mechanic.
Think of a smart phone. It is more or less like a flat piece of glass, metal, and plastic sitting in your pocket. Yet, when you make a video call, this lifeless object shoots invisible frequencies into the sky. And within a split second, you are looking at a live moving image of someone halfway across the world and hearing their voice as if they are sitting right next to you.
You accept this mind bending process without question because human engineers gave it a name and sold it to you. If you took that same phone back a few centuries and tried to explain a video call, the most brilliant scholars of that era would call you crazy. They would swear it defies all known logic.
Yet, when the Creator of time, space, and quantum physics designs a celestial vessel capable of bending spatial dimensions, your mind completely shuts down.
You ignorantly reduce a metaphysical reality to a winged donkey. When humans build a rocket that breaks the sound barrier, you call it genius. When the Supreme Being operates outside your limited understanding of earthly biology, you laugh. That is not critical thinking. That is arrogance masking a severe lack of exposure.
Jsyk, the Buraq is not a winged donkey. It as a unique celestial creation capable of traveling at incomprehensible speeds, where its single stride reaches the horizon. If modern science accepts that light travels at mind bending speeds across the universe, then you mocking a heavenly transport system just exposes your rigid, misguided and limited mind.
Then you proceeded to mock the reduction of the prayers, calling it a negotiation. For those of us that have sense, imagine a billionaire investor sets a big target for a new startup to generate 50 million dollars in revenue.
He does this to establish the ultimate standard of what the company is truly worth. A veteran advisor steps in and warns that the young team will burn out and collapse under that heavy weight. The billionaire smiles, drops the target to 5 million, but still grants them the full 50 million dollar equity.
Did the advisor outsmart the billionaire? No. The original target was set to reveal the massive and immense value of the deal, and the reduction was a deliberate mechanism to show overwhelming generosity.
The initial decree of 50 prayers established the true weight of what humanity owes the Creator. The encounter with Moses (peace be upon him) was the divine mechanism used to unveil His mercy to human weakness. He gave us the discount of 5 while allowing us keep the full reward of 50.
Only the believer will understand the spiritual depth of this. But even a skeptic with a functioning brain can grasp the philosophical brilliance behind it. When you mock concepts that are lightyears beyond your comprehension, you do not expose the religion. You only put your own intellectual poverty on public display.
I pray the Almighty guides you.

The Prophet ﷺ fasted on Mondays and explained that one of the reasons was: "It is the day on which I was born."
The Sahabah heard this hadith and understood it as encouragement to fast on Mondays.
Imam Mālik, Abū Ḥanīfah, al-Shāfiʿī, Aḥmad, and generations of scholars understood it the same way.
But somehow according to some their understanding isn't enough and start celebrating a new Eid for Prophet's birthday to truly understand this hadith.

They Said...
If a settler comes to your land, carrying his rifle more heavily than his humanity,
do not raise your voice.
Do not raise your hands.
Do not defend the home where you first learned your own name.
Let him uproot the olive tree.
Let him break down the door.
Let him carve his name into your walls.
Then, if you must weep, weep softly, lest you be accused of disturbing the world's peace.
And if you die,
die quietly, so the evening news can keep its tidy headlines.
For in this age,
the victim is not expected to survive.
Only to master the art of dying without troubling anyone's conscience.

Of course it is hard to document yourself in South Africa; when you have overstayed your 90-day visa by 5, 10, even 30 years. You are not here because of a paperwork delay. You are here because you chose to ignore the law, and the government chose to let you.

"An African cannot be illegal in Africa." That is the slogan of the deluded. That is the anthem of the entitled. That is the cry of those who refuse to accept that a continent of 54 sovereign nations has borders and those borders mean something.
A neighbour is not family. A neighbour is a neighbour. You can be kind to a neighbour. You can help a neighbour. But a neighbour does not have the right to walk into your home, eat your food, sleep in your bed, and tell you how to live simply because they share a street with you. That is not love. That is invasion.
Being African does not give you the right to cross any border you choose. It does not give you the right to bypass immigration laws. It does not give you the right to ignore the sovereignty of other nations. Every country has the right to decide who enters, who stays, and who contributes. That is not xenophobia. That is statehood.
If you believe that being African grants you automatic access to any African country, then you are not a Pan-Africanist you are a colonialist in reverse. You are demanding the same open borders that colonisers demanded when they carved up our continent. You are treating Africa as one big village with no rules, no boundaries, no accountability.
But Africa is not a village. It is a continent of nations each with its own laws, its own people, its own struggles. And we will not be shamed into abandoning our sovereignty just because someone shares our skin colour or our continent.
A neighbour is a neighbour. A citizen is a citizen. And no amount of rhetoric will change that. If you want to be family, act like family. Respect our home. Respect our rules. Respect our laws. Until then, you are just a guest and guests can be asked to leave. That is not hate. That is reality. And we will not apologise for it.

The Mayor of Durban is shocked that there’s so many Malawians living in Durban and they are ALL undocumented so they basically had no idea how big this crisis is that’s why they just say xenophobia , the Malawian government is also shocked that so many of their people in one area in Durban, how much more the whole country?
On top of that there’s still millions and millions of Ethiopians, Somalians, Zimbabweans, Mozambicans, Nigerians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Burundians all over the country just running around undocumented and our government is just shocked‼️‼️‼️😓

You think South Africans don't want to travel? You think we don't dream of experiencing the beauty Africa has to offer? We do. We want to see the pyramids of Egypt, the beaches of Kenya, the markets of Ghana, the wildlife of Botswana. We want to connect with our continent. But how can we, when your constitutions still violate human rights? When your people are starving because of incompetent leaders? When militant groups terrorize villages while your governments do nothing?
We want to visit. But if I travel, I need to know I will receive the same services and experience I do in South Africa. We want to see proper infrastructure across the entire continent . We need innovation centres. We need trains that connect cities across Africa. We need safety, a continent that is safe and stable. We need dignity, people living equally without judgment or shame . But we are a long way from that. And the reason is simple, as long as one country is expected to carry the burden of all 54, Africa can never rise to be greater than Europe.
We have leaders who are dictators, who steal billions, who hoard power. We have citizens who will not hold them accountable. Who run away instead of fighting. Who accept poverty as normal. How do you say you are proudly African when you have nothing to show for it? When your hospitals have no medicine? When your schools have no desks? When your people flee in boats and trucks?
Look at Nigeria. So focused on South Africa, on tweeting about xenophobia, on demanding we open our borders while your own country burns. While your own people starve. While your own leaders steal. You are not honest. You will not tell your brothers abroad to behave in other people's countries. You will not demand respect for the rules of the homes you enter. Every house has rules. And in South Africa, our rule is simple, respect our sovereignty, respect our people, respect our laws, run legitimate businesses this are not undercutting South African people.
We want Africa to be great. We want equality, innovation, freedom. But greatness begins at home. It begins with accountability. It begins with leaders who serve, not steal. It begins with citizens who stay and fight, not flee and blame. Until then, we will protect what we have built. And we will not apologise for it.

Let me educate you not with anger, but with truth. You assume South Africans lack exposure. You assume we believe other African countries are poor and undeveloped. That is not the case. We know the reality. We know Nigeria has oil. We know Ghana has gold. We know Kenya has tech. We know Botswana has diamonds. We know Zambia has copper. We know Zimbabwe has platinum and lithium. We know the DRC sits on $24 trillion in minerals. We know Africa is rich.
But here is what you do not understand, wealth beneath the ground does not translate to prosperity above it. You can have all the minerals in the world but if your leaders steal, your constitutions hostile towards humans rights, if your institutions are corrupt, if your people are divided by tribe, if your healthcare collapses, if your schools crumble, if your youth flee then you are poor. Not in resources. In governance. In accountability. In dignity.
We do not look down on Africa. We look at the mirror Africa refuses to face. We see our own flaws corruption, unemployment, crime and we fight them. We protest. We vote. We demand better. That is what makes us different. We do not run. We stay. We build. We hold our leaders accountable, even when it hurts.
You say we lack exposure. But we see you. We see your leaders flying overseas to get treated, some in our country to get medical treatment, while your children starve. We see your ports exporting raw minerals while your people have no jobs. We are not blind. We are not ignorant. We are honest.
The difference between South Africa and many other African countries is not wealth. It is the willingness to confront failure. We own ours. You run from yours. That is not a lack of exposure. That is a lack of accountability. And until you fix that, no mineral, no resource, no tweet will save you. Go home. Fix your house. Then talk to us about exposure.

A message of gratitude to General Mkhwanazi's wife, Mrs. Mkhwanazi
I just felt the need to express words of sincere gratitude to Mrs. Mkhwanazi, in case there's someone who knows her, who might pass on this message to her.
Ma'am I cannot even begin to imagine how it must be to have a husband whose life is dedicated to serving the nation unreservedly. Every wife of a law enforcement officer knows what they are signing up for, including soldiers, and we know every morning when the husbands leave the house, you fear it may be the last time you and the children see them, and many have lost their husbands in the line of duty.
Your husband Ma'am, is a special kind of a human being, who chose a higher level of sacrifice, a road less traveled, by taking on dangerous cartels and walking into the lion's den, where his colleagues and the brave would dare not go, on the 6th July 2025, as you know.
This action made him a national hero, whose face is recognized in ever corner of the country, and beyond, his name is known even by toddlers, his bravery is admired by other men, young and old, he has women crushing over him all over the country and groupies, like all famous men do. He leaves your home for days and weeks on national duty, and hopefully gives you assurance that you have nothing to worry about.
You are the one who is left looking after the children and keeping the home fires burning. We at this moment, have to pause and acknowledge you, appreciate you and thank you. We extend our love to you and we pray for your family at all times. Thank you for sharing your husband with the nation and supporting him in your own quiet way, far from the flashing cameras. As a wife, you are the one who gives him isithunzi, the dignity we see in him. We see a brave and courageous man in public, only you know his fears, anxieties, weaknesses and limitations. May God bless you and give you strength to withstand all the challenges and apprehensions you may have in the quiet of your home. Sending you and the children lots of love on behalf of all South Africans. 🙏🏽❤️

BREAKING: "Trump came to China! We won!" CNN anchor reveals the tidal wave of mockery coming from China as a dejected Trump begs Xi Jinping for mercy!
CNN’s Erin Burnett was visibly stunned by the sheer level of unrestrained mockery China is hurling at Donald Trump during his high-stakes visit.
While Trump begins meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Chinese social media has exploded with viral posts openly ridiculing the U.S. president, and Beijing’s strict censors are happily letting it spread.
Some of the posts going viral across China include:
-- “America has lost its swagger. They’re nothing but a paper tiger.”
-- “Trump came to China! We won the tariff war!”
-- “They will look up to us from now on.”
-- “Trump, you’re welcome to visit China and learn from us.”
-- “The U.S. is no longer a country that we look up to. We can now compete with them with confidence and strength.”
Burnett pointed out that this kind of open political mockery – especially during a visit by a foreign head of state – is extremely rare in China unless the government explicitly wants it to happen.
The message from Beijing is crystal clear: they believe they have the upper hand and are enjoying Trump’s humiliation.This is the embarrassing reality of Trump’s failed tough-guy act.
After years of bluster and tariffs, Trump is now flying to China as a weakened leader, getting openly laughed at by the Chinese public with their government’s approval.
The “strongest president ever” is being treated like a joke on the world stage by America’s biggest rival.
This is what happens when an incompetent, blustering president thinks he can bully the world. The rest of the planet is watching, and laughing.
If you are embarrassed watching Trump get clowned and disrespected by China, like and share this post.

Dear @PublicProtector ,
South Africa’s Constitution guarantees every citizen the right to freedom of expression under Section 16, including the right to question, criticise, and debate the conduct of public officials and constitutional institutions. In a constitutional democracy, public office bearers are accountable to the people and can't be shielded from public scrutiny simply because criticism may be uncomfortable or politically inconvenient.
Any interpretation of the Public Protector Act that appears to criminalise public criticism risks conflicting with the spirit, values, and supremacy of the Constitution, which remains the highest law of the Republic.
South Africans must never be made to feel that expressing disagreement with findings, reports, or public conduct could expose them to intimidation or imprisonment. Democracy depends on open debate, transparency, and accountability. Constitutional institutions strengthen public trust not through threats of prosecution but through impartiality, integrity, and respect for the constitutional rights of the people they serve.
We are concerned that you have not issued a statement on the recently disclassified Phala Phala Investigations by IPID, which presented evidence of alleged kidnapping of public members you are constitutionally bound to protect. Please explain to us why ?
You are a Public Protector and not a Private Protector.

Everyone remembers that they are African when they want to stay in South Africa 🤦🏽♀️‼️‼️
You are still African in your own country or even go to another country that will also make you feel African, we are tired and no history lesson will ever change that!
South Africa now has a crisis and must cater for its own people and recover economically in order for us to not one day come to your countries and become poets about being African and black, while giving birth 50 times a year and our men resort to Crime in your countries to survive.
What you must know from now on is that South Africa is for South Africans and South Africa is a country not a continent…So ASJIKI, you can go and cry to the @UN everyday if you want to but we have made ourselves as a country clear that you Illegal immigrants MUST GO‼️‼️‼️‼️
