🇿🇦🏘 Too white to sell property: The government has warned that black ownership will be a mandatory requirement for doing business in the real estate sector. On 13 March 2024, the Property Practitioners Regulatory Authority (PPRA) announced that BEE [Black Economic Empowerment] is now a precondition for doing business. “Property practitioners” with less than 40 points on a BEE scorecard will be refused their Fidelity Fund certificate, making it illegal for them to continue operations. [Whites] will now be forbidden from benefitting from any property transaction without handing shares to a black partner. Tens of thousands of estate agents, property developers, property administrators, landlords, direct property sellers, auctioneers, property advisors, and other practitioners will all be affected by this new regulatory standard. https://www.capeindependent.com/article/sakeliga-warns-of-coming-prohibition-against-minority-owned-property-companies

"One would even foretell that BRICS was a foregone economic embryonic block in spiritual political thought, given the foresight and the benefit of hindsight of all these efforts by our forefathers. Inevitably, BRICS was going to be born," Mphumzi Mdekazi said at a forum at Russia's MGIMO University.

Speaking about the future of the BRICS bloc, he noted that Russia should "spearhead the establishment of BRICS Military Wing and BRICS Intelligence outfit" to "stabilize the world, especially on the Israel-Palestine conflict."

🗣 "Africa ought to strengthen its relationship with BRICS expanding and diversifying trade and investment amongst partners. Enhancing regional economic integration. Collaborating on infrastructure development, technology transfer, and skills development," he said at the event titled "Russia-Africa: What is Next?"

Die dood ry op 'n koolswart perd; hy het 'n ondeursigtige kleed. Wanneer Landsknegte die veld inmarsjeer, hy laat sy perd langsaan galop. Vlaandere in nood. In Vlaandere ry die dood. In Vlaandere ry die dood. https://youtu.be/6dznRAu6wEE
