SA media backed by Orlando Pirates has hyped Relebohile Mofokeng for two years as the top young talent, aided by Helman Mkhalele. The real standout is Aden McCarthy (22), outperforming 21-year-old Rele in Europe and playing Champions League at Old Trafford vs Man Utd. Media fawns over Releโs parents but ignores Fabian McCarthy due to Chiefs links. Same bias boosts Mbokazi in MLS. Adenโs CL experience is priceless; he will succeed more and reach a top-5 league first.
Read the @IECSouthAfrica responding affidavit to the @MYANC baseless claims about the candidate nomination โglitch,โ etcetera etcetera. Emphatic๐. Five (5) key things:
1.180 paragraphs of facts and evidence.
2.6 municipalities the ANC failed to submit lists for (including Mangaung Metro).
3.2,274 candidates whose names were not submitted.
4.Deadline: 17:00, 28 August.
5.16:58, the last time the ANC submitted a candidates list of Inxuba Yethemba Municipality, proving the system was functioning properly, as it should up to the last minute.
Then comes the uppercut: the ANC failed to submit the list of nominations, and by law, the ANC is excluded from elections in these six municipalities.
If the Electoral Court finds in favour of the ANC, they must just include a paragraph explaining how special the ANC is, and why it must be treated as if itโs above the law.
If you are an ANC member, read paragraph 24 of Mr Phatudi Simon โSyโ Mamaboloโs affidavit, Chief Electoral Officer, and if it doesnโt make you think heads must roll at the level of Officials, at least Secretary General, it says more about you than about Secretary General Mr @MbalulaFikile.

Palestinians are not being โevacuatedโ from Rafah, they are being forcibly displaced.
Seven months in, we still see language being used that obfuscates the realities being experienced by Palestinians, as @SanaSaeed explores in this November episode of the Occupation Style Guide.
