I'm not talking about that, just saying that I don't like it when people bring in animal as 'proof' that being gay or straight is normal...or something.

LIke someone saying 'I have never seen a male dog attempt to mount another male dog' RIght, but male dogs that have mounted only female dogs also sometimes attack the puppies of nursing female dogs...so would it be ok if a man attacked a nursing mother's child...because he has never mounted another man?

See the problem.

People are different, but we aren't 'animals'.

We're on the same page 👍🏾

nairalanda1:
Using the 'gay behaviour is ok because animals do it' argument is not one i like because at the end animals do things that by human standards would amount to human rights abuses or evil behaviour.

Take dolphins. Male dolphins kill baby dolphins so that the female starts ovulating again and then they can mate with her. If a male human behaved like that to a nursing human mother, that would amount to two crimes, rape and infanticide.

(The guy you responded to has a flawed argument as well. Goats will mate with any female goat they see. That's not how gay humans behave.).

Let's all accept the world is diverse - different races, albinism, height, hair, eye color, blood type, etc...

So why can't there be different sexual preferences? Just coz something is a minority doesn't mean it's bad.

The very Day I see a Male Dog knacking another Male Dog....

Then I will start to understand a Man sleeping with another Man...

Any Man that is sleeping with another Man is lesser than a Goat or a Dog...

Goat and Dog get sense pass that person...

Penguins, dolphins, giraffes, sheep, flamingoes.

That's why gay men are so good looking.

But how can the mentality of the average South African be changed for good. I engage many on social media and I found out they have a very deep sense of entitlement, and they seem to lack the ability to take responsibility for their failures as a people. How can they be made to realize that as a human you are responsible for your actions?

What sort of examples are you talking about on taking responsibility for own failures?

Often Nigerians look out for themselves because governance is a complete failure and don't demand their rights.

In SA and many other countries people expect government to perform because what else is it's purpose?

themanderon:
By why do your people take advantage of every opportunity to loot and kill? I remember they did same during Zuma riots and also previous Xenophobic attacks?

It's a hangover from apartheid times - a strategy to make the country ungovernable and destroy white businesses back then. It's become a form of protest.

Should be arrested for employing illegal migrants to begin with.

This OP is on some serious SA decampaigning mission 👀👀👀🚮🗑️

45% TAX

Bafana Bafana players have returned to South Africa with a big payday, thanks to their performance at the FIFA World Cup. But how much of their earnings will be taxed by SA Revenue Service (SARS)?

South Africa was knocked out by Canada in the Round of 32 on Sunday.

According to reports, Bafana Bafana players earned around 1,6 million rands ($100K) each as part of the FIFA World Cup prize money.

The figure was calculated from FIFA’s R222 million ($14M) payout, which was split into R155.4 million (70%) being allocated to SA Football Association, and the remaining R66.6 million (30%) being split amongst players.

But are the players actually millionaires, or does SARS take a big piece of their pie?

According to financial advisor Munya Shumba, the footballers could walk away with considerably less than what they were promised.

CAPTAIN RONWEN WILLIAMS PAY

On his TikTok channel, Modern Money with Munya, the expert presented the case of Bafana captain, Ronwen Williams.

As Williams is already earning six figures annually at Mamelodi Sundowns, he falls into a higher tax bracket, with every cent made above his salary being taxed at 45%.

Before SARS could get their share of his cash, players, via FIFA, must first pay 30% of the prize money to the US government as federal income tax on US-sourced earnings.

Because of SARS’s double tax treaty, it would take the balance of the 15% tax money.

Therefore, Williams could be paying as much as R480 000 in US tax and R240 000 to SARS.

This would leave him with just R880 000.

BONUS FROM DEPARTMENT OF SPORT

In addition to their FIFA prize money, Bafana players were promised an R5 million ($312K) bonus by Minister of Sport Gayton McKenzie for making it to the FIFA World Cup knockout stages.

The money will be split among the 23-man squad and will naturally be taxed by SARS.

Wow! This is wonderful on paper, but In I see your people go around all social media platforms complaining and cussing the ANC government for failing them.
I rarely read or see anyone of them saying anything complementary about the ANC government.
It seems you are an ANC paid online agent.

😂 I'm not an agent.

Liberation movements across Southern Africa have been losing their popularity and so has the ANC, hence all the negativity in social media. The party does remain the biggest in SAa though, and as much as we complain about it there's also alot it has accomplished for the country. Lest we forget.

dominique:
There should be social welfare packages to the poor in every country but how can one differentiate the poorest of the poor from those that are just managing?

One determinant in SA is a bank account - most people are banked. Your bank balance determines if you get a grant or not. There are instances where the covid SRD grant won't be paid because there was a substantial deposit into your account that month.

Helinuse:
Deserving only because they are citizens?
Meaning you want to take cash from the people who have worked for it as tax, and hand it over to the people who haven't worked for it as social grants?

Not all government money comes from personal taxes. A society with less poverty is safer, healthier and more stable. Unless you're ok with world poverty like most African politicians.

BlocksNG:
In Nigeria, minimum wage is $40.

SA $362

EponObi:
90%+ literacy rate, only 8M out 60M are poor but you people are claiming foreigners are taking your job and violently expelling them your country, while maiming them too? What kind of mental gymnastic is that?

Yes, the anti-migration sentiment is most prominent amongst the poor because they're the ones losing out on employment because foreigners work for far less money. SA labour is unionized and we've fought for years for living wages only for undocumented immigrants to undo all those gains.

The other 60M people in SA also suffer from high crime rates exacerbated by illegal migration. Why do you think the US and Europe don't want illegal migrants? Illegal migration does lead to crime because undocumented people function outside the official system.

EponObi:
This is not the solution to their problem.

Black S/Africans just entered a vicious circle, which may be very difficult to escape.

1. (No education, won't work because of laziness, entitlement, lack of exposure) led to

2. (Drug abuse, violence, high rate of crime, hate for foreigners) led to

3. (chasing foreigners out to "claim their jobs".) led to

4. (Entitlement, approval social grant aka government handout), which will lead to

5. Way more of (No education, won't work because of laziness, entitlement, lack of exposure), which will lead to

6. More of (Drug abuse, violence, high rate of crime) which will lead to

7. More (Dangers to foreigners) to

8. More (entitlement, more demand for government handout)

What has SA government done to their people? Chai! R350 is roughly 30k naira. The drug cartels are sitting at the top of this food chain to collect these handouts. The money for the social grant will move from the taxpayers to their government to the poor to drug cartels. That's more resources for the cartel to wreck more havoc on the citizens. Omo!

You just spewed your ignorance in bold letters to the public.

SA has a 90%+ literacy rate, only 8M out of 60M+ population receive grant. The rest have their own source of income.

Here's what the black government has achieved for South Africans since 1994. Can Nigerian government compare?

You're brainwashed to believe you don't deserve anything from your oil wealth while Tinubu and his children pig out on your resources and you're left to japa to SA for a better life.

Mariangeles:
Are the "poor" disabled?
More reason not to work.

...and they claim they're not lazy.

You're very comfortable with your politicians chopping all your oil wealth for themselves.

In SA we understand our gold, platinum and diamonds belong to everyone who lives in the country, not just the 1% elite.

Why are Nigerian elites benefiting from your resources and you the common man are left to japa for a better life?

Set your brain to human default settings, MariaDevilish🤡, Arab citizens get free money for their oil, Scandinavians too. Are they also lazy?

The Department of Social Development (DSD) hopes to finalise the policy for a new Basic Income Support (BIS) grant by March 2027, getting it ready for implementation.

The BIS is the new social grant the government plans to use to replace the COVID-19 Social Relief of Distress grant, which has been extended far beyond its original intent.

The SRD grant was a R350 per month support grant, later lifted to R370, launched in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic to help qualifying South Africans weather the economic uncertainty at the time.

The department noted that the grant was only ever expected to be in effect for six months, but over 8 million recipients became dependent on the support.

The DSD characterised the billions spent on the grant as a “success” because it directly addressed poverty, noting that recipients mainly used the money to buy food, electricity, and clothing.

This, it said, then supported local economies.

“Research by multiple independent researchers also found the SRD grant to be well targeted and successful in reducing hunger, poverty and inequality while also enabling the participation of beneficiaries in job search and other economic activity,” it said.

Because of this, the national government, supported by the presidency, is moving to transform the SRD grant into a new Basic Income Support policy, which is currently being processed.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has long supported the new grant and, in his 2026 State of the Nation Address, promised that the rework of the new grant would happen this year.

Basic income grant has been a discussion in SA for years and is well on its way to implementation. Already there's a grant that started during covid lockdown that's still being paid out to millions of poor people.

These are first world issues guys - levels 🏆🇿🇦🇳🇬 🗑️

Meanwhile, protest leaders met with the president on 29 June to iron out issues.

On 9 June, Chidimma appeared in the Cape Town Court after her arrest in Summer Greens, Cape Town. The young woman was detained by police and immigration authorities.

This apprehension followed a lengthy and complex investigation by the Department of Home Affairs into the citizenship status of both Chidimma Adetshina and her parents.

While she has maintained a relatively low profile on her primary Instagram account, Adetshina has been highly active in responding to detractors who have challenged her right to remain in South Africa.

June 17 Post https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSCm3Kb1p/

Utilising her TikTok platform, she has appeared unbothered by the legal drama. In the comment section of her post on 17 June, the beauty queen responded to anti-immigrant protesters who reminded her of the looming deadline by replying with several dismissive comments.

Over the weekend, it was reported that the 25-year-old is awaiting deportation following her arrest by immigration officials.

Chidimma was born in South Africa to a Nigerian father who held permanent residency and a Mozambican mother who was found to have committed identity fraud to pose as a South African citizen.

Consequently, the Department of Home Affairs confiscated the identification and travel documents belonging to both Chidimma Adetshina and her son in 2024.

According to Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber, she was notified about the legal proceedings but failed to respond to the department's formal notices.

During her time in Nigeria to compete in the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant, Chidimma was issued a Nigerian passport. She subsequently applied for a South African visitor’s visa, which was rejected after she submitted a fraudulent bank statement.

The Nigerian husband of a prominent politician has been arrested in Bloemfontein after he allegedly housed about 28 undocumented foreign nationals at his guesthouse, while a death certificate of a South African woman was found during the raid.

The arrest, confirmed by Free State Premier MaQueen Letsoha-Mathae on Tuesday, has triggered an extensive police and immigration investigation into the circumstances surrounding the occupants of the property and the official documents that were allegedly found in the suspect's possession.

According to Letsoha-Mathae, police discovered between 28 and 29 people inside the guesthouse, where they had allegedly been staying for about seven days without leaving the premises.

"It's a guesthouse where we had about 28 to 29 people that were arrested because they were hiding in this place," she said.

"When we enquire for how long have they been here, we're told that it's about seven days that they've been hiding in this place. They're not going out. They're not doing anything there. But there is someone who's coming in bringing some foodstuffs for them."

The discovery comes as protests against illegal immigration continue in several parts of South Africa, placing renewed attention on immigration enforcement and the movement of undocumented foreign nationals.

Letsoha-Mathae said the case was especially concerning because the guesthouse is owned by a senior politician in the Mangaung district.

She confirmed that the politician's husband had been taken into custody but had not yet been formally charged.

"The husband is now... not yet being charged. He'll be transported to the nearest police station. We'll know later today what charges he'll be facing," she said.

The premier cautioned against speculation, saying investigators were still establishing whether the occupants had lawfully booked accommodation or had been deliberately concealed at the property.

"They're still busy with their investigations, looking at the guestbook, whether people just booked genuinely... Those are the areas where I cannot comment but leave them to the police to finish their investigation," she said.

Authorities have not yet confirmed the identities or nationalities of every person arrested.

However, Letsoha-Mathae said initial findings indicate that many are undocumented foreign nationals from countries including Ethiopia and Nigeria.

"What we have observed or what the police have found is that most of them don't have documents. They're illegal immigrants from different countries," she said.

Immigration officials are assisting police by verifying the legal status of those taken into custody.

The investigation deepened after officers allegedly found a Nigerian passport together with the death certificate and South African identity document of a deceased woman.

"This person is having a Nigerian passport but is in possession of a death certificate of a South African woman and an ID of a South African woman," Letsoha-Mathae said.

She said authorities are also investigating how a visa linked to the deceased woman was allegedly obtained after her death, describing the circumstances as highly suspicious and requiring further investigation.

Police have not yet announced formal charges against the arrested man, and investigations into the guesthouse, the undocumented foreign nationals and the recovered documents remain ongoing.

To think she dumped Nigeria after Miss Universe and returned to SA where she had faced persecution. Now where will she be deported to? Will Nigerians take her back after she snubbed them as Miss Universe runner up?
