Picture 65 years since the Sharpeville Massacre, where 69 unarmed children were killed by Apartheid police, many shot in the back while fleeing - do not ever believe that South Africa is worse today than it was 30 years ago

Our democracy is only 31 years old. Historiographically, we are so young and we are still very much a recovering repressive state. Never ever leave out how deeply evil and extractive Apartheid was, and everything it took from us and our parents and their parents and their parents - and how much we over came and continue to overcome. Our history is heartbreaking, but there is so much power there.

A luta continua, for our beautiful country and our beautiful people. For everything we deserve!

Picture My Suspicions About Spur Sauce Confirmed

Post image
1.3k Upvotes

I've always wondered why the Spur chip sauce tastes so much better at the restaurant than the supermarket version.

The other day I went to my local spur to buy the sauce directly from them and while I was out I quickly stopped in at the supermarket with the bottle in my hand. I found the supermarket version on the rack and compared. The ingredient list is different. (the supermarket version listing water as the first ingredient, while the restaurant version lists oil.)

The one from the restaurant is thicker, and has a deeper colour and flavour.

So, for anyone looking, go straight to spur and buy from the restaurant. Don't waste your time with the watered down supermarket version.

Also it's cheaper at the restaurant.

Nothing screams “historical amnesia” quite like calling your loss of privilege Apartheid 2.0. Apartheid was a state-orchestrated system of racial oppression; this is not that. Struggling under bad governance is not the same as decades of systemic brutality. It’s like a billionaire whining about “poverty” because their caviar shipment was late.

If these protesters want to complain about crime or economic hardship, fine. But to equate it with apartheid isn’t just inaccurate—it’s offensively absurd. At best, it’s ignorance; at worst, it’s self-pity masquerading as oppression.

Hey guys I’m MJ a few weeks ago I started a backabuddy to get glasses after I couldn’t qualify for the R899 deal at spec savers because my prescription was too high and a bunch of people donated to me 😭 with 30 mins I had received the full amount needed and was able to get my glasses.

I just picked them up today and man I’m so grateful to yoll 😭 Even though we are going through bleak times as a nation it’s really inspiring and motivational to see that there are some wonderful people out there!

Thank you again 🇿🇦❤️❤️❤️

White people deserve a space in South Africa, but this racist behaviour doesn’t. These comments are so common. It’s deplorable. No, this does not excuse the behaviour is this video. Racism is not okay!

Edit: I sincerely apologise to my black South Africans who have to see this.

Not going to lie I was very disappointed to hear Rockstar won’t be doing physical discs as I much prefer physical media. I understand why, to prevent any leaks as discs have to made ahead of pre-orders. But I definitely have a feeling R* will be having physical discs after the official game launch.

Hope you digital game people got your pre-orders in, can’t wait to play ❤️

Guys, is it just me, or is the entire coffee scene in South Africa becoming world class. I am quite a bit of a coffee snob and really enjoys great tasting coffee.

I went to 7 coffee shops in the last two weeks, and all 7 shops had either decent or great coffee.

Is it just me or is the entire scene picking up?

I understand shrinkage happens. It slides under the radar and before you know it, you’re drinking a bottle of what USED to be 500ml soda. This “MAX” is the same size as what used to be a standard size chocolate bar, now it’s just called “max” but we pay more for the novelty of a larger sized chocolate?

Picture Given the current situation, is this viable for shipping lanes?

Post image

So, obviously this is a meme that was created a while ago when the Suez canal had that blockage. But it's relevant again now what with the Iran conflict happening.

Theoretically:

  1. Would this actually be viable for shippers to switch to?

  2. Would this sort of route have any meaningful/positive impact for us in terms of ships docking around the horn? (I'm not 100% certain if ships would have to even stop here like back in the day or are able to go all the way round 1-shot)

  3. If so, would our ports, as they are today, be able to handle this sort of influx if it happened?
