| 1639906317065134080 | @BusiMavuso2 @BDliveSA This โpartnershipโ with govt to provide essential services is not philanthropy but rather a move to make us ever more dependent on oligopolies who operate off lucrative & exclusive state granted licences, so they can extract even more profit. https://t.co/rKKt3AP98D | 4 |

| 1638792640186425344 | @DavidMurray117 @phakxx @AJEnglish @Ndala_Momane There were both swart gevaar and rooi gevaar propaganda that Apartheid govt and its media directed at the White population. We saw the re-emergence of both rooi gevaar (Ukraine) and swart gevaar(EFF). Just read or listen to @BDliveSA @CapeTalk that serve the White population. | 3 |
| 1639154362584043521 | @BDliveSA So the Dalai Lama, a man of peace is denied a visa but... Putin... a war-monger, dictator and human rights abuser... is welcomed. S.A is not the same country that Mandela built. #Disgrace | 2 |
