A Home Affairs employee confessed to selling South African identities to illegal foreigners, who used those IDs to take out loans, leaving South Africans with debt.

She also legalized her illegal foreigner husband, who got her arrested for having Home Affairs equipment at home

Today, the Democratic Republic of Congo has over 900 political parties, let alone some African countries! Most of those parties have no clear objectives; they do not even know what exactly they stand for or against.

Lumumba believed that unity of purpose for the betterment of the people mattered more than multiplying parties.

When parties share the same goals based on serving the people, you do not need hundreds, but just enough to ensure a fair balance in the political and administrative system without losing unity and purpose.

ATTENTION South Africans

@ParliamentofRSA has reopened public submissions on the Constitution review.

SACR is collecting inputs via our Google Form to ensure public voices are included.

While legal opinions are still being considered on the previous process (which we are reviewing for possible legal action), we won’t sit on the sidelines. we will continue engaging and participating actively.

On the passing away of music icon, Abdullah Ibrahim, I remembered Mike "Mazurkie" Phahlane who is said to have given him the name "Dollar" when he came to Johannesburg, changing his name from Adolph Johannes Brand to Dollar Brand...

[Wonder Peters @PetersWonderboy]

He passed away uncelebrated in 2018, aged 97. Mike Mazurkie Phahlane. Blessed to have met him and video recorded him. Brilliant journalist. The man who is said to have named SOWETO. He gave jazz icon Abduhlah Ibrahim the name Dollar Brand

Dr Walter Rodney was assassinated on June 13, 1980, by a bomb planted in a walkie talkie. He was 38.

His key work, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, exposed the roots of global inequality and the violence of colonial underdevelopment.

A FIFA World Cup host country must guarantee two fundamental principles: the safety of the country — and the unrestricted entry of all qualified teams, officials and referees. The case of referee Omar Artan from Somalia is against one of these obligations. FIFA must never compromise the universality of football. #Fifa #Somalia #GianniInfantino #CAF #OmarAtan #DonaldTrump

Thank you for being patient.

So far at the 2026 FIFA Epstein Cup before a ball kicked:
- Senegal & Uzbekistan squads treated like criminals upon arrival given full cavity searches;
- Africa’s best referee sent back to Somalia despite having a diplomatic passport;
- Iraq team photographer sent back despite valid visa;
- AIPS (international sport journalist association) calling on FIFA to sort out unacceptable visa issues of African & Iranian journalists;
- 90% of Moroccan fans with tickets denied entry
- 14 members of Iran backroom staff denied visas

Not a word from Gianni ”today I feel black/gay/disabled etc” Infantino.

This beautiful jamboree used to be called the World Cup but now it must called the selective cup since not everyone in the world is welcome to join the festivities because one of the hosts is a jackass.

Today, we unveil the official SACR logo.

More than a logo, it is a symbol of a growing citizen-led movement committed to accountability, public participation, and ensuring that the voice of ordinary South Africans is heard.

The hand, formed from the colours of our national flag, represents the people of South Africa. It reflects our belief that the Constitution belongs to the people and that citizens must remain at the centre of shaping our country’s future.

We invite every South African who shares these values to stand with us and make this symbol their own.

Reclaiming the Voice of the People.

“Some amendments proposed by the public are unconstitutional.”

Apparently, we are not supposed to rewrite the Constitution but only amend it. 😂

Today’s discussion raised an interesting question: if certain provisions cannot be touched because they have already been interpreted or ruled on by the Constitutional Court, then what exactly is the purpose of this review process?

Surely one of the reasons people propose amendments is to clarify wording, close loopholes, and remove ambiguities that have led to interpretations they disagree with.

We were told that provisions such as “every child has a right to education” are rooted in international instruments, including the 1951 UN Convention, and therefore cannot simply be changed.

The @EFFSouthAfrica representative argued that South Africa cannot isolate itself from the international community and must remain aligned with its international obligations.

@Mngxitama2 then posed a question that many South Africans may be asking: if public submissions can be dismissed as unconstitutional and rejected by the legal team, what is the actual purpose of the Constitutional Review Committee? He argued that it cannot be correct for the concerns and proposals of citizens to be set aside on that basis alone.

A fair question remains: if some parts of the Constitution are effectively beyond the reach of public amendment proposals, what exactly are South Africans being invited to review?

Home Affairs has something to hide.

We will call for an investigation into this dual citizenship & naturalisation matter. Members of Parliament & Executive are positions of National Security and South Africans deserve to know if their leaders are serving their interests or those of other countries.

@HistorySAZAR In 1969 the poet Uys Krige said about apartheid: "The system whereby Africans are sent to the cities to provide the labour force which lies at the base of our prosperity, also desecrates one of the sacred codes of all our religions - it destroys family life."
