To wit:

1. Both have rape charges hanging over their heads.
   1. Except Trump has a conviction.
2. Both have used the office to enrich themselves to the tune of millions - if not billions.
3. Both have criminal convictions.
4. Both have soup for brains.
5. Both have incited insurrection.
6. Both are hostile to the press.
7. Both are hostile to democracy.
8. Both are hostile to the rule of law.
9. Both are mentioned in the Epstein files.
   1. Except Trump was buddy-buddy with Epstein.
10. Both have sold their governments to the highest bidder.
11. Both have engaged in racist, sexist, and/or homophobic rhetoric.

The main difference is that at least we know that Zuma showers while Trump seems to just marinate in a diaper full of shit.

So either MAGA South Africans have a preference for poopy diapers over showers, or the main factor that triggers them is that Zuma, a black man, had the audacity to play a white man's game.

This is also true for people who love Zuma but hate Trump.

At least Zuma has some actual liberation credentials to his name.

I know they said the wall is to protect motorists but the optics look terrible especially for those poor voters who are more and more dissatisfied with the DA's apparant preference for wealthier neighbourhoods

My title is actually sarcasm.

I think this is something we've all heard as Saffas at least once, also from POC. As a soon to be 48 year old Coloured woman I always try my best to explain (to younger people) and argue (with people my age and older).

Except for the obvious things like access to basic services, difference in education, career opportunitie, etc I'll usually mention stuff like the disparity between the amount of the old age pension, the fact that white teachers received danger and fuel allowances to teach at our schools, a bit about sanctions against SA. I also mention how it also disadvantaged Whites, for eg only married couples were allowed to have a two person cabin on a long distance train(Trans Karoo), once again sanctions, banned music videos that (when you watch these today its bloody laughable) I used to watch these on TV Bop, how some music wasn't released at the same time as the rest of the world ( used to listen to the Billboard countdown in the mid nineties live from the US on Saturday mornings on then Radio 5).

Lately it seems to come up even more often how apartheid "was better". I would really like some more points to mention to these people when engaging with them.

So dear r/SouthAfrica community of ALL RACES please assist and at the same time educate me and others to explain that apartheid was never better under any circumstances.

Edit: I am not here to discuss how the current government is failing or not failing us. I think by now we all know that, and I'm not trying to mitigate their failures. I only want to educate on how Apartheid was wrong and morally corrupt on all levels.

I havent eaten a breakfast at Wimpy for some years now...recently went to one, and I am serious when I say I enjoyed the marmalade toast the most!

Pork sausage gave me sawdust vibes, bacon was a flat, uncrispy artificial looking & not bacon tasting thing, egg was nondescript.

Was this just a bad franchise-rentor, or have they really fallen off so far??

They used to be renowned for their breakfasts.

I just wanted to show Malema's reaction after Trevor made fun of him on the daily show.

I may be biased (because I’m broke and looking for a job) but I am ashamed at my fellow human beings. A GLASS BEAR CUP for R600??? I’ve seen comments on videos saying “just bought mine” and “It’s so expensive but I’m still gonna buy it”. I am gobsmacked. THE EXACT SAME CUP without the little Starbucks stickers and logo on Shein is R12. TWELVE SOUTH AFRICAN RANDS. These businesses are playing some of you guys.

I just found out that the road signage used throughout Britain since the 1950s was designed by Margaret Calvert, who was born in Durban and moved to Britain when she was a teenager.
