His woes have only just begun - SA Black Twitter is on the case now😎

jaxxy:
Have u concluded ur damn investigations? Last we heard she pleaded no guilty and remains so until proven otherwise in court.

It will take longer now that we also have our sights on bogus Mr McLaren.

KingCold:
All in the name of flossing.. it's a characteristic of theirs

Flaunting ill gotten gains. Speaks volumes about their lack of ethics.

KingCold:
DId you see how fast was this money was driving? in a residential area even..

Very emboldened. Chidimma's mom was also coming in and out of the country unbothered without proper documentation. Bogus Mr McLaren has opened a big can of worms for himself and his likes.

oz4real83:
Sorry for the guy oo. An unknown "rapper" with a supercar, living the fast life, the guy shouldn't allow people to open up his file on the real business he does oo he should have just called himself a "businessman" to cover up his tracks instead of the title "rapper"

Chidimma's mother 2.0

He's just invited law enforcement & SA Black Twitter (the real police😎) to his door. He ain't getting away with all his sins.

It’s very hard to believe anything on internet these days..

True story.

Shut up ..

No one cares about the gdp per Capital ..

You made claims about south Africans meaning the citizens being richer than Nigerians ..

But dangote ( a citizen) happens to be richest in the whole Africa continent ..

So the point is, if you people were that rich why is a Nigerian named the richest in Africa ..

Shouldn't one of you be sitting pretty in top of that chart..

We're not taking about gdp here


And as for you randsdigitalanalog

I'm pretty much brighter than you're...

You ready to blow a fuse or something? South Africans are average are richer than Nigerians. Argue with your dry slice of bread.

KingCold:
lol, Dangote is one person idiot.. His wealth makes no difference in your country's GDP per cpita

Avoid using big words around DeeSCAM, he's clearly not the sharpest.

DeeScan:
You make alot of these claim about being richer than a Nigerian but stats shows the Africa richest man is from Nigeria..

How do you explain that..

Do you all live in Dangote's house? DeeSCAM, you ain't the brightest of people, i swear.

Starzo:
You're just a shameless, senseless fool

Again , YOU'RE BEING SUBJUGATED AND DEHUMANIZED IN YOUR OWN LAND BY INVADERS '

And you continue worshipping and being grateful to them....ret*rded pig

Black South Africans are far richer than you Hunger-gerians. You've never seen a black South African in Hunger-geria, but there are millions of you starving Fraud-gerians in SA eeking a living and begging not to be xenophobia targets.

KingCold:
War-torn Libya sells you for 50 USD, shut the fck up and go queue for rice. M9r0n

😂😂😂

KingCold:
I mean, this thread has nothing to do with white people, but these mindless coons will find a way to sing their praises ..Nigerians are something else man

Nigerians are very jealous of black South Africans. It's a FACT.

KingCold:
White worship ,Everyday without fail.

They want to fool themselves that SA is the only country in the world where black people don't achieve anything good. Otherwise they'd have to kill themselves over the dire situation in their cow-ntry. Even Botswana and Rwanda live better than Nigerians and they don't have whites. They're very bitter, jealous and brainwashed.

South African prisoners have voiced their dissatisfaction after the Department of Correctional Services announced that beef and chicken would be reduced from their meal plan in favour of cheaper alternatives.

Some have even claimed that they have been left “starving” by smaller portions of food.

The department is headed by Minister Pieter Groenewald, who has facilitated a crackdown on unlawful practices behind bars.

This week, the Department of Correctional Services, they have introduced a new meal plan to prisoners.

This includes less red meat, chicken, and fish and more “cheaper alternatives” like soya products.

According to reports, the department spends around 500 rands (41,000 naira) a day for each prisoner’s expenses.

Department spokesperson Singabhako Nxumalo told eNCA: “It is more than just a matter of costs involved, but it’s about flexibility so at least there is a variety than having to consume the same items”.

Nxumalo emphasised that the new meal plan had “nutritional value.”

According to the 12-day meal plan, the following reductions will be made:

4 Beef servings to 1 beef serving
3 Chicken servings to 1 chicken serving
2 Fish servings to 1 fish serving
No tea and coffee

Prisoners will be introduced to “cheaper alternatives” like beans, eggs, soya, and chicken giblets.

According to the report, prisoners have voiced their dissatisfaction with the new meal plan.

Whether she is in custody or out on bail, the fact remains she in the country illegally. These were the assertions by magistrate Sadiqah Guendouz, who on Wednesday granted Chidimma Adetshina's mother, Anabela Rungo, 10,000 rands bail (810,000 naira).

Rungo faces charges related to flouting the Immigration Act and Identification Act after she was arrested on February 15 in Summer Greens, Cape Town, where she was living despite her ID being revoked.

She was found to have committed identity fraud to obtain South African citizenship.

Rungo, 46, appeared in the Cape Town magistrate's court for judgment of her bail application and after a long-awaited order, she was tearful and relieved, including family and friends who were in the gallery.

“The South African taxpayer should be wary that holding Ms Rungo in custody while this matter is finalised still means that she will be in SA illegally while this matter is finalised, whether she is in custody or not. It is the South African taxpayer who is responsible for her maintenance — putting the roof over her head and food in her stomach,” said Guendouz.

Earlier on Wednesday, there were delays with the delivery of the judgment as the prosecutor, Jacques du Plessis, wanted magistrate Guendouz to recuse herself from the case, citing bias. However, the state's recusal bid failed.

The state's contentions stem from remarks Guendouz made on Friday when she slammed the state for presenting what she labelled as a “half-baked” case despite having prior knowledge of it.

Guendouz said the state should have been better prepared for the case, as they knew as far back as August 7 2024 when the department of home affairs issued a statement saying there was a prima facie case against the accused. She was responding to the state asking the court for another postponement on Friday, as the prosecutor said he still needed to finalise his closing arguments.

Guendouz didn't take to that request kindly, saying Rungo had already been in custody for a while and the state should have better prepared for the case.

Rungo's attorney Ben Mathewson argued there is no suggestion that Rungo presents a risk of violence or would interfere with the administration of justice or the pending investigation (if any).

Du Plessis argued that Rungo’s release would disturb public order and that she is a flight risk. However, Guendouz said regardless of personal views on what should have to happen to legal or illegal foreign nationals, the courts must take into account such injustices by people who replace apartheid racism with xenophobic racism.

The magistrate, however, granted Rungo R10,000 bail, with strict conditions that she:

1. will remain under house arrest and can only leave to attend court or consult a legal representative;
2. is barred from attempting to send any other person to any embassy or consulate, including but not limited to the Mozambique or Nigerian embassy;
3. and is not to apply for any travel documents while the matter is pending but is allowed to visit home affairs should they require her attendance.

The case was postponed to May 8 for further investigation.

“Thank you, Jesus,” Rungo sighed in relief after the court granted her bail.

I feel sad for the Sad Africans loitering around here on Nairaland.

Don't you people have a forum you can discuss these types of issues.

I understand though. Carry on Randdigital.

Shut up Morpheus. Your empty brain is the one hosting maggots😎

Chucks13:
My message passed already so go and deal with it.

You have no country because you never built one just take that. Thanks.

Lol, tell that to the Afrikaner farmers who'll now be refugees in the US 😂😂😂. Do you have any brains at all?

Chucks13:
Yes I agreed they must be punished for their offence but you can't say all foreigners must go and if the entire world say all Sad Africans should be evicted too is that cool?

You this boy you forgot it wasn't black Sad African that built your so caled Sad Africa I lived in your country before, you are all lazy, womaniser, drunkards, and jobless mofos so what the hell are you talking saying "our country"? Pls you got no country, your Sad Africa is the only country in Africa built from grass to stardom by those silly white supremacist so get that to your brain.

You clearly lived in hillbrow amongst other Nigerian drug dealers or in a chinese sweatshop. SA has the largest black middle class in all of Africa. That you never saw them speaks volumes about your living conditions when "you were in SA". You lived in a gutter😂😂😂 Sit down, you have nothing to offer but deception.

KingCold:
these foreigners should all go man, they're adding chaos to our country

Look at these ones. They're forcing their way back into a government owned building they hijacked to trade in. Apparently its a bar. The government sealed it off to repossess.

The Johannesburg high court on Tuesday convicted seven Chinese nationals and their company on numerous charges related to crimes, including human trafficking, that were committed at Village Deep in Johannesburg several years ago.

“The accused faced 158 charges, including offences such as human trafficking, labour law violations and breaches of occupational health and safety regulations,” said National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane.

The accused are Shu-Uei Tsao, 42, Biao Ma, Hui Chen, 50, Quin Li, 56, Zhou Jiaquing, 46, Junying Dai, 58, Zhilian Zhang, 51, and their company Beautiful City (Pty) Ltd.

“The police received a tip-off about an illegal factory employing foreign nationals, prompting them to conduct a raid.” The factory produced cotton-fibre sheets.

After the raid, police led an investigation which revealed that between 2017 and 2019, the accused operated Beautiful City and employed 91 undocumented Malawians, including 16 minors aged between 14 and 16.

“Upon their arrival, the victims were confined to the premises under inhumane conditions, with armed guards controlling their movements. The victims were forced to work 11-hour shifts, seven days a week, without proper training or safety equipment,” Mjonondwane said.

She said senior state advocate Valencia Dube presented further evidence, calling several Beautiful City employees, mostly Malawian nationals and one South African truck driver, who testified about being deceived into working at the factory with promises of a better life.

Many had previously worked at Chinese-owned factories and were recruited under false pretences. The victims described harsh conditions, including being transported in windowless trucks to the factory, which they were not allowed to leave. They worked long hours with no breaks, were forced to work on holidays and were prohibited from bringing in food.

Personal communication was banned and they were made to operate defective machines without protective gear, leading to accidents. One worker lost a finger and was denied medical care. The factory had a high wall, razor fence and armed security, reflecting the exploitive environment, with workers often threatened with firearms and subjected to extreme control.

Judge David Mhango ruled the accused were liable for the offences.

“The NPA welcomes the conviction, as it demonstrates the dedication of law enforcement in addressing organised crime and human trafficking cases,” Mjonondwane said.

kiddkash:
All these farmers, would they be enough to tackle food security?

It would be if SA went on a concerted skills drive abroad, it's clear there's international interest. Especially if Afrikaner farmers take up Trump's offer to move to the US. Others will definitely plug the gap.

Konquest:
South Africa has vast arable lands and temperate climate, so, it's NOT surprising that this is happening and indeed it has ALWAYS happened. In the past decades, citizens of Southern African countries neighboring South Africa used to come in to work in the SA mines. So, SA has got the allure for income generation for folks on different economic ladders.

True.

omooba969:
Black south africans don't have the brain capacity to do it, bcoz the afrikaners never show them the way.

So says a Hunger-gerian. Rice net importer! Wonders never end 😂😂😂

MasterJayJay:
You are actually an ignoramus.
Owners of farms is different from labourers.
Your IQ must be less than that of a cockroach for you to believe that labourers can replace farm owners.

Go argue with Business Tech and Department of Labour who state clearly these are figures for both farmers and labourers.

I'm well aware its your nature to disregard facts in Nigeria and instead amplify fake news.

🧐🧐🧐i see all the haters that were rejoicing in past threads about white Afrikaners taking up Trump's offer to leave SA are here wailing and bouncing off the walls! How will they manage to sleep tonight from the shege SA keeps unleashing on them? 😭😭😭 This is total devastation for them 😂😂😂

Mariangeles:
Shut up!
.

😂😂😂 What a short fuse you have, MariaDevilish. Anyway, since you sprinted into this thread willingly, what are your thoughts on the subject?

Mariangeles:
Nigerians this! Nigerians that! Yet you want to kpeme on a Nigerian forum.

MariaDevilish, the first hater to bounce off the walls. Weren't you rejoicing Afrikaner farmers had been invited to leave SA? Don't wail over the antidote. For every Afrikaner that wants to leave, someone else is more than happy to fill their space under the wonderful South African sun😎

Nigerian haters will be happy to hear as Trump offers Afrikaner farmers refugee visas, there are others from UK, Israel and Southern Africa wishing to fill their space 😎

Farmers and agricultural workers are flooding into South Africa from neighbouring countries such as Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Namibia, and Mozambique.

This data was detailed in a recent Parliamentary Q&A, where the Department of Employment and Labour (DEL) was asked for the total number of work permits issued in the last financial year.

In response, the DEL explained that it provides recommendations on corporate work visa applications regarding the availability of local labour in various categories.

According to the department, it received 60 corporate work visa applications covering 6,255 migrant workers.

Of these, the DEL negatively recommended (rejected) 5,383 (86%) and positively recommended (approved) 872 (14%).

The approved visas included workers from several countries, including China, India, the Kingdom of Eswatini, Namibia, Mozambique, Lesotho, Pakistan, the UK, Israel, and Zimbabwe.

The various sectors included agriculture, education and training, manufacturing, mining, maritime, wholesale, and retail.

However, 91% (796) of the recommended approvals of work visas from the Department of Employment and Labour were for farmers and agricultural workers.

Most of these foreign agricultural workers came from neighbouring countries, Zimbabwe (445), Lesotho (250), Namibia (70), and Mozambique (30).

WHY ARE THEY COMING TO SOUTH AFRICA?

The chief economist of the Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa (Agbiz), Wandile Sihlobo, told BusinessTech that these migrant farmers and workers are moving to South Africa for better opportunities and pay.

“South Africa’s agriculture is robust and growing. We had about 924,000 people working in primary agriculture at the end of the last quarter of 2024.

“There are workers in the sector from neighbouring countries who are attracted by competitive wages in South Africa’s agriculture,” he said.

“The revised agricultural Minimum Wage in South Africa is R28.79 per hour. In Namibia, the sectoral determination for farm workers is at R10 per hour.” This makes work in South Africa attractive, he said.

In some instances, Sihlobo added that farmers also provide lodging, which assists. Some, such as Lesotho, bring unique skills in sheep shearing, amongst other aspects.

However, Sihlobo stressed the importance of ensuring that South African workers receive primary work opportunities and that neighbouring countries supplement them when necessary.

Google should pay South African media houses between 300 to 500 million rands (16 to 27 million dollars) annually over 3-5 years to address lost revenue and the imbalance in shared value.

These were the findings of the Competition Commission's Media and Digital Platforms Market Inquiry (MDPMI) provisional report, which was released on Monday.

The report called for action against search engines like Google and social media sites like Meta.

The MDPMI was created and empowered by the Commission to establish an inquiry to investigate if there are features that may prevent and impede competition in the South African media landscape.

GOOGLE NEEDS TO PAY

Paula Fray, a panel member at the commission explained search engines like Google play a major role in helping and hurting South African media organisations.

She explained that Google receives between R800 to R900 million from South African news content.

The search engine, however, destroys around R160 to R200 million in potential value for South African media.

“Our assessment is that the imbalance in the share of total value is around R300 to R500 million annually,” Fray said.

The inquiry also found that there is a definite bias in Google’s algorithm, and this disadvantages South African media organisations in favour of international news outlets.

THE ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA

The MDPMI found that a majority of South Africans use social media as their primary news source.

The report found that platforms like X, TikTok, Meta, and YouTube drive news consumption in the country.

Fray said that Meta and X have deprioritised South African posts with links and this reduces referral traffic.

The report also found that South African news outlets are struggling to monetise views on YouTube in particular.

R300-500 MILLION IN COMPENSATION

James Hodge, the MDPMI chairperson said that South Africa needs to impose a 5-10% digital levy or tariff on social media and AI companies to compensate SA media for their loss in revenue.

He said that search engines need to also restore referral traffic.

Google needs to adjust search algorithms to support SA news media and reduce bias toward foreign platforms, Hodge explained.

These search engines also need to help support monetisation.

He said that Google for example needs to share anonymised user data and provide SEO assistance.

In terms of direct compensation, Hodge said that Google should pay SA media houses between R300 to 500 million annually over 3-5 years to address lost revenue and the imbalance in shared value.

He also added that Meta needs to stop deprioritising news on the Facebook feed to restore referral traffic to the media from its peak with at least a 100% increase in referral traffic.

It is important that Meta and X also stop deprioritising news posts with links in the user feed.

Lastly, Hodge said that YouTube needs to improve the ability of the media and broadcasters, including the SABC, to monetise their content on its platform through increases in the revenue share to 70% and active promotion of higher value direct sales by the media.
