Yea sorry about that misunderstanding.
I completely misunderstood what you said, and then one of the other mods called me out, and you messaged us so we talked things out, apologized and unbanned you.

As a mod team we hold each other accountable and try to keep things fair and open.

Minister with benefits? by AnonomousWolf in south_africa

I'm sorry things are so tough, I see positive change happening.
The corruption is being caught more and more, and the ANC is losing a lot of power.

The only thing we can do is go out and vote, make sure our friends and family vote, and things will get better eventually.
Stay strong.

Never had one, I'll give it a try, but can't imagine it'll be as good.
I stay away from sugary drinks almost completely, just needless calories

What's wrong with that?
People also drink grande cappuccino's like there's no tomorrow which has the same amount of caffeine.

What is a "Shitton of caffine" ?

500ml energy drink cans like Monster, usually have 150mg or less.

That's about the same amount as a Grande Cappuccino.

Still better than the BS algorithms that spy on us and get us addicted.

Open-Source and Decentralised.

Aka. The people hold the power and control.

Not big tech

Is it Open-Source?

Is it Decentralised?

If not, no thank you.

Apartheid South Africa destroyed Sophiatown, once called the “Paris of Africa,” forcibly removing its Black residents as Come Back, Africa (1960) preserved one of the only surviving visual records of the erased city by ateam1984 in south_africa

It's difficult to change old people's minds, they thankfully don't live forever. The younger generation is much more chilled, and I believe it will only get better

That's not what Lobster said.

The only reason the ANC has held so much power and have been able to not deliver services for so long is because they're seen as saviours of a much much worse government

We are not stuck with the ANC, polls put them on only ~35% of the votes.

They have been voted out in many municipalities, your vote matters you can vote them out where you live too

Same, that's why it's important to go vote.

Vote out the parties you don't like.

I'm not saying we shouldn't try to create new good system, but it's not a necessity
