Transkei

Transkei was apartheid's first "independent" homeland (declared 1976), a classic Bantustan experiment to fake black self-rule while keeping real power in Pretoria. It became shorthand for sell-out politics under Kaiser Matanzima (prime minister/president 1976–1987) and his brother George. The Matanzima regime was seen as a straight puppet: accepting fake independence no country recognised, banning ANC/PAC activity, detaining activists, running corrupt patronage networks, and collaborating with the apartheid security forces. Nelson Mandela — a distant relative from the same Thembu royal family — publicly branded Kaiser a "sell-out in the proper sense of the word" for betraying the broader liberation struggle and legitimising divide-and-rule.

The vibe flipped in 1987 when army chief Bantu Holomisa pulled off a clean, bloodless coup. First he sidelined George Matanzima, then ousted Prime Minister Stella Sigcau in December '87, suspended the constitution, and ran Transkei under military council rule. Unlike the Matanzima era, Holomisa cracked down on corruption, opened borders to exiles, quietly allowed ANC structures and safe houses, and let liberation movement activity breathe — turning the territory into one of the few semi-safe zones for the struggle inside SA borders during the late 1980s crackdowns. It helped the ANC build momentum before the 1990 unbanning. Transkei was reabsorbed into a united South Africa in 1994.

"Transkei under Matanzima was pure puppet vibes — Mandela called him a sell-out for taking fake independence — but once Holomisa did the coup and let the ANC breathe, it flipped to actually helping the struggle instead of blocking it."

transweight 

Basically what you want your weight to identify as.

If you are a certain weight and you come out as transweight, you are saying you don't want to identify as the weight you are right now, and you want people to refer to your weight as something else.

I am coming out as transweight, I am no longer wanting to be a 300-pound man, and from now on, I will be referred to as having 140 pounds.
