If Africa's top referee is inadmissible in America, who qualifies? Many are calling it racism. Somali referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan was denied entry into the US "due to vetting concerns" even though he had a 3-month multiple entry visa and was traveling on a diplomatic passport

#KingsMemoirs If you grew up in Zimbabwe during the transition from Rhodesia to Independence, you’ll remember how accents alone could tell you which school someone went to, which suburb they came from and sometimes even how much money their parents had 😂😂😂 Just before full Independence in 1980, and during Bishop Abel Muzorewa’s short-lived Zimbabwe Rhodesia government of 1978/79, the old whites-only schools finally began opening their doors to Black, Coloured and Asian students. Schools like Roosevelt, Churchill, Girls High, Oriel Boys, Gifford and others slowly started integrating. Parents who could afford it rushed to enrol their children there. Suddenly a whole new generation of Zimbabweans began emerging. By the mid to late 80s, and especially into the 90s, a completely different accent started developing. It was a unique blend of the old white Rhodesian twang mixed with the hard township and local accents many of us had grown up hearing. These kids spoke with a smoother, softer nasal twang and quickly earned the nickname “Nose Brigades” from those still attending the F1 and F2 schools reserved mainly for Black students, and from some of us who had gone through Coloured schools like Morgan High and Founders. Meanwhile, those with deep rural or ghetto accents were labelled VSRBs… “Very Strong Rural Backgrounds” 😂😂😂 There was always a silent class war hidden inside those accents. The “Nose Brigades” were seen as polished, suburban and middle-class. The VSRBs were viewed as rough around the edges. But funny enough, many of the so-called VSRBs were academically brilliant and ended up humbling the very people mocking them. Then came another generation altogether. The “Nose Brigade” crowd slowly gave way to the “Salads”... also known in street lingo as “Ma Saladhi” or “Masalala.” The accents weren’t very different, but this new lot carried themselves with even more class consciousness than their predecessors 😂😂😂 When my brothers and sister got to the University of Zimbabwe, they used to tell me how some of these Salads would openly mock fresh arrivals from the rural areas because of their accents, constantly calling them VSRBs. But the plot twist was beautiful 😂😂😂 Many of those same “VSRBs” proceeded to set lecture rooms on fire academically while the Salads watched in disbelief. My brother from another mother @DMwonzora ,Douglas “Dhagi” Mwonzora was one of those guys labelled a VSRB because of his hard accent, but he was exceptionally bright. Before long the mockery died a natural death 😂😂😂 Today, no matter where I am in the world, I can identify a Zimbabwean almost instantly just from the accent alone. Whether it’s the Nose Brigade twang, the Salad accent or the deep VSRB growl, there’s something unmistakably Zimbabwean about all of them. And speaking of VSRB accents… one man I could listen to all day is ZANU PF stalwart Patrick Chinamasa @ChinamasaPA regardless of whether I agree with what his saying or not 😂😂😂 That man’s accent is deeper than the Zambezi Valley itself 😂😂😂

$999 might sound like a lot for a fully custom fit wheelchair. But it's 80% cheaper than it used to be. Iykyk.
A YouTube tech creator (@/ZacksJerryRig) built a wheelchair factory that makes fully custom chairs for $999 They're built in days, not months, by cutting out insurance and middlemen entirely

They hate the UAE but beg for jobs there. They adore Iran’s regime but refuse to live in it. They trash Europe but would kill to live there. They curse America yet crave all its goodies. Pure keyboard hypocrites cowardly terrorism cheerleaders 😂

Every time I see this picture of Ali Larijani, I get angry. In the 1980s, when I was a teenager living in Iran, my eyes were very sensitive and my doctor told me to wear sunglasses. But the morality police would stop me in the street, because according to them, my sunglasses were “provoking men.” I had to carry a doctor’s note in my wallet just to justify something as basic as protecting my eyes. That was the reality for us. And now, the same system that policed girls for wearing sunglasses proudly promotes figures like Ali Larijani wearing American Ray-Ban glasses. This is the hypocrisy of the Islamic Republic: control and humiliation for ordinary people, freedom and privilege for those in power. It’s not just hypocrisy. It’s a system built on double standards and contempt for its own people.

I have been calling for the proscription of the IRGC for 16 years. The Supreme Leader owns multimillion-pound property on London's streets while his regime murders dissidents and threatens journalists on our soil. #ProscribeIRGC

BREAKING [WATCH] This vehicle, which is NOT a police car, is fitted with a POLICE SIREN. Police have now seized this car, at the premises of the son of former Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe. Cops came across this vehicle leaving the premises as they were returning here to continue looking for the missing gun. Apparently, two men and a woman were occupants. #sabcnews
