KLEINBASS:

Gauteng too👍🏾. I'm sho many people also worked at home like you today 😅

Seems it'll snow in the early morning hours in Gauteng 👀

Napata77:
Fast forward to 1:20 to save time. I can't believe this is the same South Africa that this Rand Digital fellow comes here every say to present as Japan or Switzerland.

Unbelievable.

These same people have the audacity to tell Africans to ''go beck and fix your kaantry'' when their own ''kaantry'' is such a mess.

Welcoming you and the YouTuber to the internet. Everyone know SA has shacks (informal settlements), just like Brazil has Favelas.

What you're showing is just 8% of the population. 92% of people in SA live in proper housing.

You've now been skooled. Goodbye.

KLEINBASS:
Is winter in the southern hemisphere

Where u based? I'm in Jhb, it's freezing. This morning the drizzle was actually burning my face at some point coz the raindrops felt like ice chips piercing my face, coz of the wind. It's definitely gonna be snowing tonight in Jhb.

South Africa's Gauteng province, home to Johannesburg and Pretoria, is once again being teased about possible snowfall, with reports that the province could be covered in white late on Monday or Tuesday, as anticipation and excitement grow amid the freezing weather conditions.

The last time it snowed in Johannesburg, Gauteng, was on 10 July 2023, when the South African Weather Service (Saws) confirmed that various parts of the province were covered in snow, creating a winter wonderland.

While many hope that the province would be lucky, with Johannesburg or the Gauteng province seeing any snow, according to Gauteng Weather, that may just be a possibility.

Meanwhile, the Eastern Cape province and several other parts of South Africa experienced snowfall on Monday, with the wintry conditions expected to persist into Tuesday.

South Africa’s weather forecaster warned that heavy snowfall is likely in parts of the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal provinces, while freezing temperatures, icy roads and hazardous travel conditions are expected to continue in affected areas.

Global warming has reached South Africa.

Snow has fallen, and sub-zero temperatures have been recorded in several regions of South Africa, where residents have never seen snow before. pic.twitter.com/RBf8l1DnRX

The snowfall is expected to cause localised traffic disruptions, isolated losses of livestock and crops, and interruptions to essential services.

IronGalaxy:
Why are you Nigerians always obsessing about white people though? 😆 🤣 😂 the thread is about snow,yet your entire paragraph is about whites..

And finding out whites are celebrating the snow shut him up - hasn't returned since. Probably apologising to them through prayer coz he idolizes them so much😂

But he's just pained, thats all. Like this one above me, stan4b, is happy when bad SA news makes it to frontpage. Fact that he's pained by this thread means he considers this good news - hence calling for it to be banned.

zoedew:
Nah these thin sheet of glass they gleefully refer to as snow!😅. Little wonder some Nigerians go into override when some ice falls during rainfall. Blacks ever aspiring to white climatic stuff and never satisfied with the climate of their space. Lest I forget, the whites get near naked at the sight of the sun shining brightly! Man is always admiring the green grass at the other side.

E pain am...

Tell that to SA oyinbo who seem very excited over those "thin sheets of glass". The joke's on you

Widespread snowfall is expected across all 9 provinces of South Africa and Lesotho from Sunday to Tuesday (9-11 August 2026).

Some parts of the country, especially in the highlands and Lesotho, have already been experiencing snow for some days now.

The SA Weather Service has issued early impact warnings for disruptive weather, with hotspots likely to experience 25-40cm of snow.

This is the first time in many years that most of South Africa will experience snowfall, including Johannesburg.

IronGalaxy:
The richest people in South Africa are South African, infact, South Africa has the highest number of black USD millionaires in Africa, also the highest number of black middle-class households in Africa..
You claim you run your "affairs" yet you oil proceeds are shared between your officials and their families leaving you to scavenge for Canadian visas..

Ouch 🤕🤕🤕😂😂😂

ArcSEMPECJ:
So because of that, you became angry and the only way to prove you are not lazy is to also become a thief?

So you are no longer only lazy, you have also become a thief as well....

Is Alright ....

While I'm lazy and a thief, you can't read or comprehend facts.

I gave you a long history and attachments of why South Africans loot. Not my fault if the Nigerian education system failed you 🗑️🚮🚮🚮

epainos:
Was it Nigeria of Mandela who gave South Africa over $20B to use when you all were slaves in your land? Was it Mandela or Nigeria who issued you over 300 Nigerian passports when you had no right to even own a South Africsn passport? You wer3 caged like common criminals with no hope to even travel outside the place to tell you story.

Invoice us that audio $20B, like all your other audio projects in Nigeria.

SultanYoung:
pray you never fall victim of this same circumstance you will understand what it means to start afresh after someone steal your whole investment of over 30 years

You should've thought of your 30 year investments when you were not hiring South Africans and calling them lazy (preferring cheap foreign labour), yet you call yourself an investor.

God1000:
As expected of you, I knew you would come up with some balderdash to justify the sordid behavior of your people, you should be ashamed of yourself.

I don't have time to argue with a looter this early morning

Facts matter. Let me skooled you a bit so you don't keep bringing Mandela's grave into this...

God1000:
Nelson Mandela must be turning in his grave seeing what the country he fought so hard to liberate has become

Was it Mandela or "Nigerians who liberated South Africans"? You guys should decide and let us know.

Anyway, your comment lacks historical context. Looting "enemy" property was embedded in the struggle against apartheid when the country was being "rendered ungovernable" against white businesses. Even Mandela knew this.

Same modus operandi today against foreign businesses.

Anyway, before you judge o👇🏾🇳🇬

Democrats achilles heel is the support for Israel👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾. Other than that, it's sad hearing this news about Biden.

Former March and March leader Ngizwe Mchunu claims the movement is being funded by a local political party and an international funder – allegations that March and March leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma has challenged him to substantiate.

In an exclusive interview with IOL, Mchunu said he believed the days of March and March were numbered and said his change in stance followed a meeting with President Cyril Ramaphosa.

“March and March is funded by a local political party too and, what I can say is, they have two accounts. I will say all in time. For now, I have to fix the country. This government has collapsed, the economy is suffering, and I had to meet the president halfway. We are working together to fix things,” Mchunu told IOL.

Responding to the claims of external funding, Ngobese-Zuma challenged Mchunu to provide evidence.

“We all know he is just an ANC project. He must stop saying he has proof and just show everyone the proof. It’s very simple. Instead of fighting with us, he should be clearing his name over claims that he was bribed, if it’s not true,” Ngobese-Zuma told IOL.

Another person who described themselves as being close to March and March also made claims about Mchunu’s departure from the movement.

“We know there was a figure of R10 million ($625k) paid. We have witnesses and proof. This was a clear tactic to divide March and March, and they succeeded. They played the movement with one thing that most people can’t refuse: money. A lot of it,” the person alleged.

The individual also claimed they had previously warned Ngobese-Zuma about Mchunu and raised concerns about another member of the movement. These claims have not been independently verified by IOL.

Asked about the allegations, Mchunu denied receiving any funding and dismissed suggestions that he had been paid, saying he lived a simple life.

Questioned about his source of income and his security entourage, he defended his lifestyle, saying he had three wives who owned their own businesses and contributed to his upkeep.

“I also have some people who are like brothers to me who have security businesses, and they protect me because they want me to be safe,” he added.

Mchunu also criticised Ngobese-Zuma, describing her as “stupid, inferior and politically inexperienced”.

“I’ve played Shaka Zulu, travelled all over the world, and even lived in France for six months. I’m a born leader. I tried to teach them. I told them not to march with political colours. It was a mistake to have ActionSA (political party) leaders marching with us. We should not be promoting any political party, but they did not want to listen. Now you see what is happening. March and March is finished. After the local elections (in November), they will be dead. Nobody will listen to them,” he said.

The fallout between the two prominent figures has been felt among supporters of the movement. The weekly protests and public presence appear to have lost momentum, with fewer participants and divisions emerging among supporters.

For Mchunu, however, his political ambitions remain alive.

Between bites of his lamb curry, he sought to portray a calmer image. Gone was the Zulu regalia and the angry rebel persona associated with some of his public appearances. Instead, he wore jeans and a jumper.

Calm, charming and smiling, he confidently declared: “I’m going to be the next president!”

And he appeared convinced.

We used to like Ghanaians in South Africa, now we DISLIKE them.

Bernadette9:
How many USD billionaires are black south african? Probably zero or maybe one.
This shows that white South Africans are the boss and they control what happens in the lives of black south africans.
If you really think black south africans are smart, can you mention some of the global brands that was started by a black south african.

Questionable billionaires? South Africa gained freedom in 1994 and yet has more black dollar millionaires and middle class than Nigeria

You have 5 billionaires and 250 million poor people 🇳🇬😂😂😂😂😂

LordBiden:
Which crimes are they commiting?
Who are the people buying the drugs if not south Africans,tell your brothers to stop doing drugs.

Thanks for admitting you sell drugs. We'll include it in the AU/UN agenda. Unapologetic criminals.

Samantha125:
I've heard how crime rate in Zimbabwe has now increased ever since their people returned from SA... ... And before anyone comes for me, I heard this from Zim residents.

Botswana too.

Ibrahim1985:
Nigerians do not really go to South Africa. Stop over inflating the numbers, if you said that there are over 500000 Nigerians in the UK , i will believe you. Stop confusing Zimbabweans and other Africans National as Nigerians.

There are registered 30k Nigerians in SA, only 2k went back home. But we know there are 500K to 1 MILLION!

How dare Abuja have loud mouth for just 3 flights?

Goke7:
The unfortunate thing is that the innocent ones are the victims, not the criminals they were after; those are still in the country, and that's normally happens anyhwere anti migrant sentiments degenerate

My thoughs exactly. I created a thread where I got emotional when Malawians got onto buses in Durban. I knew it was all the good guys. The criminals will never voluntarily hand themselves in for repatriation.

Only 2000 Nigerians were repatriated BTW, out of a possible 500,000.

JobAndVacancies:
shut up and take your useless propaganda out of this forum.

Argue with Google.

SA blacks are your big brother 🇿🇦🏆🏆🏆

Everything else is fake news! 🇿🇦🏆🏆🏆🏆

More than 160,000 foreign nationals left South Africa over June and July following widespread anti-immigrant unrest, according to an AFP tally based on figures from the repatriating governments.

South Africa has seen weeks of nationwide protests against undocumented foreigners.

As anti-migrant groups pressed their demand for immigrants to leave by June 30, citizens of other African countries flocked to consulates and community halls seeking transport home.

The largest numbers to leave were from Zimbabwe and Malawi but hundreds more were from countries including Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Mozambique, Nigeria and Uganda.

Releasing updated figures on Tuesday, Zimbabwe's cabinet said 108,366 of its people had come home as of July 18, a majority of them self-repatriating.

Malawi announced on Monday that more than 46,890 citizens had returned since early June, with the government providing 699 buses for the long journey home.

Nearly 2,000 Mozambicans also returned, according to South African government figures.

Some crossed the border with help from their government after two Mozambican nationals were killed at the end of May in the southern town of Mossel Bay. Authorities also confirmed the deaths of an Ethiopian and a Malawian in "anti-foreigner sentiment."

Nigeria has repatriated around 1,490 nationals, while Ghana has flown home at least 926, according to government figures.

South Africa has long been a destination for documented and undocumented African workers searching for work.

Zimbabwe - 108,366
Malawi - 46, 890
Mozambique - 2,000
Nigeria - 1,490
Ghana - 926

TheMensch:
We say we no wan hear anything about una in at least the five years. Na by force?

Imagine just less than 1,000 Nigerians volunteerily left SA - out of a possible 500,000.

And you're complaining about 5 South Africans on Nairaland? 😂😂😂😂😂

AU gave you and Ghana the middle finger. What exactly are you complaining about - you want to japa and commit crimes freely? You and Ghana.

delzbaba:
I don't want to hear anything about South Africa for the next Five years

Ghana and Nigeria have been on a misinformation campaign against SA. All South Africans want is legal migration. The country has alarming high crime rates due to undocumented people.

Videos you see online are from years ago. These current protests are peaceful.

South Africa's Billionaire President, Cyril Ramaphosa, was recently asked by a kid if he's rich and lives in a big house.

"Where do you live? Is it a big house?"

The innocent white Grade 2 learner, sister and mother, were in awe of the president.

Ramaphosa awkwardly answered - "I live in Johannesburg. It's an ok house".

Ramaphosa is one of the richest people in SA and has shares in MTN.

His brother-in-law is CAF president Patrice Motsepe, also a mining billionaire.
