| 2 |  Shedding: The Truth About MMR 💉
If there is an outbreak of any “vaccine preventable disease,” the blame is always placed on the unvaccinated. We can see this on full display in the media’s reporting of the Texas measles outbreak. However, according to Dr. Larry Palvesky, the MMR vaccine can shed and infect others, which could create an “outbreak.”
“The vaccine is what's called alive attenuated vaccine, meaning there's live replicating
virus in there that can spread.”

| 5 | When Truth Is Twisted: A Reflection on Accountability and the Wisdom of Maturity
By Dr E.V. Rapiti
11 July 2026
www.drrapiti.com
Some behaviours only reveal themselves when people are confronted with uncomfortable truths. It is in these moments — when accountability knocks at the door — that character is exposed. Some respond with honesty and introspection. Others retreat into a private bubble where facts are bent, events are rewritten, and responsibility is denied.
As I have often observed:
“Narcissists live in their own bubble.
When they are exposed, they twist the truth with fabricated lies, confidently believing that the world is gullible enough to believe them.”
This is not a diagnosis. It is a description of a pattern that repeats itself across human relationships, organisations, and public life. It is the behaviour of individuals who cannot tolerate being wrong, and who will reshape reality rather than confront their own actions.
The Art of Twisting Truth
When such individuals are challenged, they do not engage with the facts. Instead, they:
deny what is plainly documented
reinterpret events to cast themselves as victims or heroes
shift blame onto others
present alternative narratives with unwavering confidence
assume that those around them will accept their version without question
This twisting of truth is not accidental. It is a defence mechanism — a way of protecting a fragile self‑image from the discomfort of accountability.
The Sudden Softening
What is even more revealing is how quickly the tone can change. A person who has made serious accusations may, days later, send a casual message as though nothing happened, hoping to “discuss things” informally.
This behaviour shows a profound disconnect between their actions and the consequences of those actions. It reflects an inability — or unwillingness — to recognise the harm caused or the seriousness of their own words.
When Lies Fail, Taunts Begin
There is another pattern worth noting:
When they fail with their lies, they will provoke you with more taunts to invite you into a fight.
Ignoring them leaves them desperate and destitute for more taunts.
This escalation is not about truth. It is about control. When manipulation fails, provocation becomes the next tool. And when provocation is ignored, they are left without the fuel they need to sustain the conflict.
Why the Wisdom of Maturity Calls for Silence
When someone has demonstrated a willingness to distort the truth, further engagement often serves no purpose. Responding only invites more manipulation, more rewriting of events, and more attempts to pull you into their bubble.
Silence, in such cases, is not avoidance.
It is the wisdom of maturity — the understanding that not every battle deserves your energy, and not every distortion deserves a reply.
Integrity as a Measure of Character
Integrity is not tested when life is easy. It is tested when we are confronted with our own mistakes, when we must face uncomfortable truths, and when we must choose between honesty and self‑preservation.
Those who choose honesty strengthen the communities they belong to.
Those who choose distortion weaken them.
In every organisation — whether a body corporate, a workplace, or a public institution — truth matters. Accountability matters. And the courage to face one’s own actions matters most of all.

Mood disorders are an important side effect of glp1 agonists like ozempic which are denied by many doctors and drug companies. They suppress appetite, starve the neurological system of essential nutrients that improve moods.
When people get depressed after taking Glp1 to reduce weight they end up being put on antidepressants and end up becoming addicted or dependent on them. | 90 |

| 14 | It will not create jobs. It will not improve education. It will not reduce crime. It will not eliminate corruption. It will not replace foreign labour with South African labour. It will not make South Africans more willing to work long hours. It will not magically produce electricians, plumbers, builders, or drivers.
Instead, shutdowns will:
Destroy township economies.
Bankrupt families who rely on rental income from foreign‑run shops.
Cripple small businesses.
Accelerate unemployment.
Increase poverty.
Fuel xenophobic violence.
Drive away the very people who kept the economy functioning.
South Africa is not suffering because foreigners are here. South Africa is suffering because foreigners are leaving.
The Real Question: Why Are We Doing This to Ourselves?
Duduzile Zuma‑Sambudla’s shutdown politics are not about national interest. They are about personal political branding — a reckless attempt to become the next populist icon.
But a nation cannot afford leaders who treat the economy like a stage and the public like props.
South Africa must confront its real problems:
A failed education system.
A collapsing state.
A culture of entitlement without productivity.
A political class addicted to corruption.
A labour force unwilling to do the work required to sustain a modern economy.
Foreign nationals are not the enemy. They are the mirror — reflecting what we have become.
Until we face that truth, shutdowns will continue to destroy what little remains of our fragile economy.

| 15 | The Thursday Shutdowns: How Reckless Politics Is Crippling South Africa
By Dr Ellapen V. Rapiti
Family Physician • Writer • Social Commentator • Motivational Speaker
Cape Town, South Africa
South Africa is being dragged into a cycle of self‑inflicted economic destruction — and the public deserves to understand who is driving it, why it is happening, and what the consequences truly are.
The repeated calls for nationwide shutdowns — often on Thursdays — have come from Duduzile Zuma‑Sambudla, daughter of former president Jacob Zuma. She has a documented history of incitement during the 2021 unrest, where her social‑media posts encouraged violence that ultimately cost the country billions and claimed hundreds of lives. Today, she positions herself as a political firebrand, mimicking Julius Malema’s populist style but without any grasp of economics, governance, or national stability.
Her calls for shutdowns are not grounded in policy. They are grounded in ambition. And South Africa is paying the price.
The Economic Carnage of Shutdown Politics
Each shutdown costs the country approximately R600 million in lost revenue per day — a staggering figure for a nation already buckling under unemployment, poverty, and collapsing state institutions.
But the damage goes far deeper than numbers.
The threat of xenophobic violence during the recent shutdowns has driven many foreign nationals to flee South Africa. The consequences are visible everywhere:
Parking lots are empty — the car guards who kept these spaces functional are gone.
Motorbike delivery services have slowed — there are fewer riders, and almost no South Africans willing to take their place.
Spaza shops are disappearing — these small businesses, run by foreign nationals, have been the backbone of township economies for decades.
Online taxi services are short of drivers.
Small contractors are struggling — electricians, builders, plumbers, and technicians from Zimbabwe, Angola, Mozambique, and the DRC have long sustained the construction sector.
South Africans are discovering a painful truth: Foreign nationals were never “taking jobs.” They were doing jobs South Africans refused to do.
The Myth of “Foreigners Stealing Jobs”
This narrative has always been false.
Foreign nationals work long hours in harsh conditions. They operate on razor‑thin margins. They rent shops and rooms from South Africans, providing essential income to thousands of families. They bring skills our education system no longer produces. They provide services — spaza shops, car guarding, deliveries, artisanal trades — that locals simply do not want.
Migrant labourer have sustained our mining industry for under a century because they wanted the jobs we were not prepared to do.
South Africans, by contrast, have become choosy. They demand high pay before proving competence. They refuse long hours, outdoor work, or physically demanding jobs. They prefer quick‑money ventures: shebeens, drugs, or crime. They avoid entrepreneurial risk. They lack the artisanal training that once sustained our industries.
This is not xenophobia’s fault. This is our own failure — educational, cultural, and political.
A Nation in Decline
South Africa’s collapse is not the work of foreigners. It is the work of:
A broken education system that produces unskilled graduates.
A government that destroyed every state‑owned enterprise.
A political elite drowning in corruption.
A violent society with the world’s highest rates of rape, murder, and armed robbery.
27 million citizens on social grants — nearly half the population.
A labour force unwilling to work, and a political class unwilling to govern.
Foreign nationals did not create this crisis. They helped delay it.
The Shutdowns Will Not Fix Anything
What will shutting down the country achieve?
Nothing. | 90 |

| 18 | — THE FOREIGN NATIONALS - not the cause for the misery of struggling citizens, we are.
Dr EV Rapiti, July 1, 2026
South Africa is a country in pain. Unemployment is catastrophic, crime is suffocating, and hopelessness has become a national mood. In this climate, it is easy to find a scapegoat. Foreign nationals have become the preferred target of public frustration, accused of “taking jobs,” “running the economy,” and “destroying opportunities for locals.”
But this narrative is not only false — it is destructive. It blinds us to the real causes of our misery and prevents us from confronting the failures within our own society.
Foreign nationals are providing services that South Africans have been unable, unwilling, or unprepared to provide.
They operate where the formal economy refuses to go. Spaza shops, micro‑traders, and convenience stores thrive in communities abandoned by formal retailers. These businesses sell essentials at prices the poor can afford, work long hours on razor‑thin margins, occupy rental spaces no South African retailer wants, and keep communities functioning where the state has collapsed. They are not displacing South Africans — they are serving South Africans.
Foreign traders rent rooms from South African homeowners, often becoming the primary income source for families who would otherwise have nothing. They hire locals for security, deliveries, stock handling, and cleaning. This is not job theft. It is economic oxygen.
South Africa’s education system has failed catastrophically. It does not produce artisans, entrepreneurs, or service‑sector professionals. It produces graduates who are unemployable, demotivated, and disconnected from the realities of the labour market.
Foreign nationals succeed because they bring discipline, entrepreneurial drive, technical skills, and a work ethic shaped by necessity. These are qualities our system no longer cultivates.
The difference in service quality between many foreign workers and many local workers is not about nationality — it is about attitude, training, and pride in work. Foreign nationals often display gratitude for opportunity, humility, professionalism, and a commitment to excellence. Too many South Africans in service roles display resentment, entitlement, poor training, and visible disdain for their jobs. This is not a moral judgement — it is a structural outcome of a failed education system and a broken work culture.
As a customer, choosing a waiter who smiles and takes pride in their work is not unpatriotic. It is rational.
For many young South Africans, the most accessible “career paths” are gangs, extortion networks, drug distribution, mugging and theft. These are not personal failings — they are economic outcomes of state failure. Foreign nationals do not cause this. Government failure does.
For decades, the ruling party has blamed apartheid for every governance failure — even as corruption hollowed out the state. This deflection has created a convenient scapegoat: foreign nationals. It is easier to blame the shopkeeper who works 16 hours a day than the government that destroyed the education system, collapsed policing, and failed to build an inclusive economy.
South Africa cannot fix unemployment by attacking the people who keep our informal economy alive. We cannot fix service quality by attacking those who take pride in their work. We cannot fix crime by attacking those who choose entrepreneurship over gangs.
Foreign nationals are not the cause of our misery. They are a mirror reflecting what we have lost: discipline, entrepreneurship, resilience, and pride in work. If anything, we should be learning from them.
We need to look deep into our souls to find the cause for our misery.
We must stop blaming apartheid and foreign nationals for our misery - the fault lies with us and our attitude.

| 20 | I sometimes wonder whether he wasn’t deeply depressed off stage, like so many great artists who drowned their sorrows in drugs and alcohol.
Thank you, Freddie, for entertaining us with some of the greatest music ever created.
You are a legend — your music will live forever.
Those of us who heard you when you were alive are truly fortunate.
To those unfamiliar with his music, I urge you to see the show. You won’t be sorry. It was not just entertainment; it was a history lesson about a great performer.

Bio
Dr Rapiti is a great lover of the arts. He enjoys watching great shows and is extremely disappointed by the severe decline in audience numbers to the arts alive.
Arts in his words, are the essential nutrition of the soul. Without the arts, we will become soulless beings.
Society's foolish obsession with social media platforms is leading to the the demise of good theatre and art.

He believes that society’s foolish obsession with social media platforms is contributing to the demise of good theatre and meaningful art. For him, the stage remains one of the last sacred spaces where humanity can confront truth, beauty, and emotion without distraction.
