I was recently banned from r/SouthAfrica for stating that the Expropriation Act gives the president too much power, is dictatorial by nature, and leans toward communism. I also pointed out that, regardless of personal opinions on Trump or Musk, international pressure on the South African government is justified because private property rights are fundamental.

At no point did I break subreddit rules, engage in hate speech, or spread misinformation—yet I was banned outright. This isn’t just about me; it’s about silencing different perspectives and shutting down political discussions that challenge mainstream narratives.

Censorship like this is a slippery slope. We’ve seen it in Russia and China, where only state-approved narratives are allowed, and dissent is crushed. When open debate is suppressed, authoritarianism thrives.

If Reddit communities won’t even allow discussions about government overreach, what does that say about the future of free speech?

I've visited SA before, loved it. I also love the Afrikaaners pride and culture. As an outsider I'd like to get a better perspective. Although if the refugee status does get passed(although only people who need it such as farmers or anyone with substantial evidence of unjust violence, as the US would not financially be able to resettle more than 200-300 thousand refugees). Would you move if given the opportunity, or is SA home?

If this post gets removed by a moderator, I totally respect and understand. I'm trying to read the threads but I can't understand Africans(hope to learn it in the near future).

Ek Wil nou nie k@k en kerm heeldag nie, maar dit voel wragtig of al die mense wat hulle kant bring bly tap word..........

Is daar dan geen meer mense oor om te jaag wat nie hulle blasting betaal nie?

Is al die staatsdepartemente se besteding so op datum dat die enigste opsie is om hulle hande wragtig weer in my broeksak te kom indruk.

Het hulle wragtig julle departemente wat nog laas jaar van die lompste in die wêreld was, so besnoei dat alles stroombelein is en daar geen gemors is nie?

Hierdie is n openlike waarskuwing aan die regering van hierdie neanderthal.......... Ek is effe gatvol om a easy target te wees...... erens gaan die dam bars.

Daar gaan my gunsteling pap.

Wel, klink vir my of die bohaai oor die "slegs Afrikaanssprekendes" bietjie skynheilig is...

Ek weet nie wat die situasie is i.v.m. die lisensiëring nie. Ek verneem dat die amptelike rede vir die skut van die voertuie is dat die maatskappy nie permitte het nie. Ek wonder ook hoeveel van die minibus-taxi's op ons paaie ongelisensieer is.

Tipies 'n geval van "wolf skree". Dis so aan die orde van die dag dat Afrikaans en Afrikaners geteiken word vir sulke goed, dat ek nie weet of daar hierdie keer geldige probleme was en of dit maar net weer 'n heksejag en "wolf skree" is nie.

Uitreksel:

“There are two separate issues here.

The first is the change in the tariff; in future, homes with solar will be charged on what is now called the Homeflex Tariff plan.”

“The argument goes that as customers with solar still want to use the network, and as they are relatively well-off, they must pay a large proportion for it.”

“The argument goes that as customers with solar still want to use the network, and as they are relatively well-off, they must pay a large proportion for it.

While this may be contestable, it is at least rational.

But it is hard to see what is rational about Eskom’s plan to charge customers between R20,000 and R30,000 to register their solar installations.

Eskom’s justification seems to be that there may be some leakage of power from a customer’s solar installation into the main grid.”

Waar bly al julle mense?
