Zille unveils Blue Brigade in Joburg to drive service delivery.🛠🧰🚓

Helen Zille has taken her Joburg candidacy to the next level. 🚀 Launching a fleet of DA bakkies with volunteers to go out and assist the vulnerable wards in Joburg.

Unheard of in local politics. Zille has raised support to kit out a bunch of teams with equipment to be able to go out, fix and clean the problems that the ANC in Joburg has forgotten about.

It's a mass service delivery rollout to fill the holes that have been left by the city. Literally. Cutting grass, urban management, removing dumping, filling potholes you name it.

This is possibly the most aggressive political campaign seen in the country.

Name a book that everyone should read.

Comprehensive read. If only….

“The ANC has adopted outdated ideological, populist and emotion-based economic policies.”

Broken strategies stunt SA economy as other countries separate politics from state https://t.co/1hkhTgljQ9

The anti-capitalist brainrot is so powerful.

It's actually virtually *impossible* to become a billionaire without creating an immense amount of wealth for other people.

Billionaires usually employ hundreds to tens of thousands of other people, to say nothing of creating products, goods and services that are so valuable people are prepared to voluntarily part with their hard-earned money in exchange.

People want to hate on big tech oligarchs and there's a lot to dislike, but the one thing you definitely can't argue is they haven't created wealth for other people.

How many millionaires are there just because Google, YouTube and other platforms exist? How many people have a good job because of them?

In communist societies and dictatorships, the best way to create wealth is using power to control "state" resources. That's why most Russian billionaires are very close friends and allies of Vladimir Putin. In a capitalist society, the best way to create wealth is to solve other people's problems for money at scale.

1. While I sympathise with President Ramaphosa not succumbing to political pressure from politically connected individuals associated with a state capture project in the US, and insisting that the rules apply equally to all, I do think a deliberation is warranted on BEE.

Blocking an investment into rural education is a slap in the face to every student sitting in a classroom with zero connectivity.

While the rest of the world is racing toward the future, we're stuck watching SA politicians play gatekeeper with rules that do absolutely nothing for the end user.

[South African Institute of Race Relations @IRR_SouthAfrica]

Most South Africans are done with apartheid-era race categories.

By a wide margin, people across the country say government should stop using the racial classifications of 1950 to decide who gets opportunities today.

South Africa has already moved on.

NEWS: Senior Government Members Lie About Starlink in South Africa

Parliamentary chair Khusela Diko claims Starlink’s FREE high-speed internet for 5,000 rural schools “brings nothing to the table” and “won’t move the needle an inch.”

The Truth: Starlink is putting up R500 million of its own cash for zero-cost kits, lightning-fast internet, and full maintenance, forever.

This connects 2.4 million rural kids in deep countryside areas where cables and towers can’t reach. Kids get online classes, free learning videos, homework help, and real skills for the future. Teachers access better resources. Entire villages finally join the digital world, boosting education, jobs, and hope where it’s needed most.

@elonmusk is stepping up with real help for free while politicians downplay it. Stop the lies — approve Starlink NOW!

I recently heard someone say:

"The amount of good things in your life depends on your ability to notice them."

I can't see it any other way now.

To fix South Africa, we need working streetlights, water pipes fixed, safer communities and roads repaired!🇿🇦

Here in Mogale City the local government has failed residents. It is only the Democratic Alliance that will serve ALL communities ✅
