Is there anything more South African than a biltong a droë wors birthday 'cake'?

Wildly incorrect figures on land ownership are being bandied about on social media in South Africa, where expropriation without compensation is a trending topic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei9o...
Who really owns the land?

White Afrikaner here. Why would I want to move to such a sh!thole, rac!st country? Leave your grubby orange paws off my country!

I am a mighty farmer. Behold the bounty of my first harvest!

Who knew that lettuce made flowers?

I mean, I get the whole reproductive thing but in my 40+ years I had never stopped to think about where lettuce came from.

My lettuce bolted during a heat wave and did this!

Feeling so despondent about Bluesky today. The South African feed I made gets filled up with hate so quickly.

People hating on the tech billionaire and seeming to think that all white South Africans are just like him.

I almost can't keep up with trying to block all the hate and racism.

If you’re doing the Cape Town Cycle Tour this year, consider riding for the SPCA.

They aren’t government funded and rely exclusively on donations.
Hills will be sponsoring them for this “Argus” and they aim to rescue more dogs from chains.

Little beans

My first time gowing beans and I can't get over how cute they are!

How many South Africans are spending their evening covering school books? 🤪

Huguenot monument in Franschhoek

I'm not religious but my family can be traced back to a Huguenot who fled France and came to South Africa via the Netherlands

Definite theme emerging in my kitchen.

Made a school of fish which my husband mounted for me.

Does bluesky also use hashtags like other social media?

The first raku workshop I attended was great! Made this little pot and used it for obvara. Not the best pot but it survived and the end result isn't to bad. Fits in nicely with my ocean themed stuff I've been building. #paperclay #obvara #raku #ceramics #handbuilding
