They were shown flames at the battle of Isandlwana. It is still known as the day the sun set in the middle of the day. There was probably an eclipse or the Zulus had some strong muti Anyway, if you study history closely, especially South African history, you will know that they OUTSMARTED their opponents. They didn't fight the wars alone. They gained the upper hand with the help of our own people, including the chiefs/kings. They won fair & square It's easy to gain advantage when there's no unity. People back then were not united. So they came in, saw this & played one side against the other to achieve their goal. Not their fault that people were dumb, vengeful & greedy. Oh what a heavy price they paid for all their sins. Besides, there were no borders back then. People just roamed around & settled wherever they felt like it. Remember, we did the same to the Khoisans. Displaced them & drove them further west, towards Cape Town. In short, it was the survival of the fittest/smartest.

Read up on these when you have time & you may learn something new.

The Jews were/are selfish. They get to a place, marry, born and colonise the region. Only them do one type of business, jewelry. Nobody else can compete. They kind of exclude others from their circle. This why the Germans hate them .
Its like the kind of thing some Igbo people do.

We are still Richer than South Africa though, The First and Second Richest man in Africa on forbes list are both Nigerians

What about racism?

You'll get more set back from your average black man than a white man.

XhosaNostra:
LMFAO. You could start haunting them from the other side

XhosaNostra:
In some cases it takes time. Plus being rich doesn't mean someone is happy. Some end up killing themselves even with millions in the bank.

Have you ever seen Karma at work? Please share your stories.

Today I just received news that I've been waiting for, for over a decade. But I'll save that for last.

In 1997, my biological father passed away from complications related to diabetes. He left a lot of money. He was a businessman, who ran his bar singlehandedly, until shortly before his passing. Anyway, there were even more complications to follow: he didn't leave a will. So about two weeks after his funeral we were summoned to court, myself, my 3 other siblings & our mothers. My father was survived by an older brother. All his other siblings were long gone. My uncle was appointed by the court to divide the money, equally, between us (the children). Long story short, I never got a cent! I'm not sure if he gave the two children from my father's 1st marriage anything, but a huge lump sum of the money went to him. He went on a shopping spree & spoiled his own family with gifts. He opened his own business, a supermarket. However, he didn't live long enough to enjoy the fruits of his deceit. He died 6 months later from a brain tumour. I felt justice was served!

Now back to the news from the beginning of my post. I have one sibling on my mother's side. She's 15 years older. At the end of 1999, I had to go live with her. She has a good paying job, working for the government. When we 1st started living together, she made sure that my future was secured. She got me an education plan, which would have paid for all my university expenses. When I was in grade 11 she had her 1st child & everything changed. I don't wanna go into it, but she removed my name from the education plan. Her child was the sole beneficiary. Naturally, I was heartbroken. I cried over it for years. Now the child is all grown. She's so close to getting everything that was taken from me. But life has other plans by the sound of it, because I just heard that she dropped out of school & is refusing to go back to school. I should be celebrating, but I'm not. The only thing "sweeting" me is, her mother finally got her visit from Karma after everything she's put me through. I was good & yet she treated me like garbage. She told lies about me & now every lie she ever told is coming back to haunt her through the very child she used as an excuse to treat me like an outsider.

Never take revenge on people. Leave it all to Karma.

The Solidarity trade union is set to serve court papers before the end of the week asking that the "unlawful" suspension of Schweizer-Reneke teacher Elana Barkhuizen be lifted as a matter of urgency.

The union told a news conference on Tuesday it believed she had been a victim of high emotions which overlooked the truth.

"We are focusing on restoring her human dignity so that we do not lose an outstanding teacher," said the union.

According to Solidarity chief executive Dr Dirk Hermann, North West education MEC Sello Lehari’s "hasty and populist actions" led to Barkhuizen’s unlawful suspension while being innocent.

OVERVIEW: A photo of happy children 'was used against me' - suspended Schweizer-Reneke teacher
46 minutes ago

13:15
Solidarity wraps up the briefing by saying Barkhuizen has been a teacher at the school for about two years, and she has been a teacher for 15 years in total.
Solidarity also implies that all the positive news about Barkhuizen, about her interactions with the parents and pupils at the school, both black and white, was not shared in the media, and people need to ask why.
With that, the briefing concludes.
13:10
Solidarity says that Barkhuizen has still not been provided with the reason for her suspension. "There's no way you can suspend a teacher just because she took a photo."
Solidarity starts wrapping up the briefing.

13:06
"We're focusing on the team photo, and ignoring the scoreboard," says Hermann. He says the culprit here is the department of education, who did not create bridges for children who came to the school only being able to speak Setswana.
13:01
According to Hermann, the children were separated according to their language, to help them ease into the first day. Hermann says they were later integrated.
12:59
Responding to a question on the seating arrangements, the Solidarity representative says they're "very cautious" to speak on behalf of the teacher whose class it was, and they can't address that question directly.
"No, kids are not arranged according to race. There are no such arrangements. That was also not the case on that specific morning."
12:52
Solidarity says Barkhuizen was not a member of any trade union "before this". But she contacted them seeking assistance, and they obliged. She is now a "fully paid member" of Solidarity.
12:44
Solidarity representatives now fielding questions from the media.

Solidarity confirms they will pursue further legal action on behalf of Barkhuizen.

Solidarity head of legal services Anton van der Bijl says they will file an urgent application to have Barkhuizen's suspension lifted.

"Do not be sorry for me - I will not surrender. I will fight," Barkhuizen says as she concludes her statement.

The problem is sometimes you take Niggerians too seriously. Even they dont take themselves too seriously and dont know whay they want. When they best chest and bray just nod. No use arguing with them

TMKsouth:
Just lastly, Have u heard, as in joke, the one that they single-handedly (well, alongside the whites) helped develop South Africa after 1994 to what it is today? And that with our xenophobia they have been pulling out the country & now our economy is in trouble?

Apparently after 94 the ANC hurriedly rushed to Nigeria to beg for their highly acclaimed skilled workforce to revive the SA economy. Them & them alone (no worldwide search for skills as most SAns believe).

So they freed us & then subsequently developed our country. Because if there's one nation that excels in economic & infrastructural development on the African continent and has its house in order... it's Nigeria.

XhosaNostra:
Me & you both. Most of these things are closely related to your very own state of mind. Law of attraction. When you start thinking positive thoughts, a lot of positive things start to happen. It's also important to let go. Things happen when it's time for them to happen. You can't force destiny so to speak. Do you have any particular beliefs of your own?

XhosaNostra:
Wow!

Well, I did & maybe I still do subconsciously. A little girl I used to play with once told me that her grandmother has people under her bed lol. She said they only come out at night. I never forgot that story. Add to other rumours about her being seen coming out of the field in the wee hours of the morning. I think there's a grain of truth to some of these things.

XhosaNostra:
LMAO. True dat. Smh. "The dark continent" indeed.

planetx:
All this so called moon or mars landings are fake including the American apollo landings. Nothing can go through the firmament described in the book of Genesis, that separates the water above from the water below. This video like the others are nothing but Hollywood studio productions.

XhosaNostra:
Lol, so flying loaves of bread doesn't count as innovation?

XhosaNostra:
I don't know him. No, I never worked at Spur lol.

XhosaNostra:
Lebo? I don't remember anyone by that name. Yes, please show me

Losers that's all they are lol.
