Thoughts and opinions are my own.https://peertube.noiz.co.za/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e6f8a515-b1ab-4bf6-9dde-7994b08350ca/8eb69fac-9648-4ea3-8262-e8c454d35705-master.m3u8https://peertube.noiz.co.za/videos/embed/uweHcvdHpHtm59t5mygnqf9010212025-03-26T13:20:53.847ZSouth AfricaBill GatesNational Health InsuranceWorld Health OrganisationYESStatelessNOhttps://peertube.noiz.co.za/w/44EKP1LTSUVExezJQjo3JUhttps://peertube.noiz.co.za/lazy-static/thumbnails/9688ddfb-8f35-4658-82f3-3b5de081d8fe.jpgStateless Podcast: Episode 5 - The Siege of Stilfontein | Zama Zamas, Monopoly & State ViolenceIn late 2024, the South African government besieged approximately 4,500 men underground at Stilfontein.
