We reduced the City's contingent liability by R5 billion in the last quarter. In other news, we have now paid R2.5 billion towards the historic Eskom debt and have remained fully compliant with the payment agreement.

That's how you fix a broken city. Aggressively steady.

Vuka, Tshwane. This city won't build itself 🇿🇦❤️🇿🇦

In 2022 Herotel was digging massive trenches in Graff Reinet for fibre layout without municipality approval. The company even ignored two separate court rulings ordering it to suspend the digging.
Graff Reinet is a strategic asset for Pentagon ref surveillance.

Argentina is a replica of Israel - before Israel was created in Palestine, a case had been made for it to be set up in Argentina. At the time, Argentina had achieved high levels of whitenning - & black extermination.

The 1986 hand of God was Zionism in action, so is Messi.

fuck it, filming in a format that only ~40 cinemas across the world can fully display is anti-art

You can’t convince me life is just a series of coincidences. What do you mean Lionel Messi was randomly paired with a five-month-old baby after the baby’s family won a UNICEF raffle for a charity photoshoot while Messi played for Barcelona… and that baby grew up to be Lamine Yamal?

Lamine would go on to become one of the brightest young stars in soccer, wear the same No. 19 Messi wore for the same team when that photo was taken, and now, nearly two decades later, could face Messi in a World Cup Final???????

I’m sorry… the city of Cape Town approved a data center?!? As in the thing that is a massive water and electricity consumer… inside the same country that has a water crisis and is always at risk of load shedding… how detrimentally stupid is this city man, what the hell🫩

The truth is that around 79% of South Africans have never received any formal civic education. That means many people vote based on instinct, family tradition, identity, social media, or the occasional interaction with a public representative. To be fair, that interaction can cut both ways,sometimes people meet their representative and decide they’ll never vote for that party again.

Last week, at one of our community civic education workshops, I asked participants a few questions.

Almost everyone knew the answers to these:

Who beat Bafana Bafana last Sunday?
Who is the leader of March and March?
Who is the actor who plays Jonasi in The Polygamist?
Who is Mihali Ndamase?

Then I asked:

Who elects the President?
What’s the difference between a ward councillor and a PR councillor?
Who pays an MP’s salary?
How much does a councillor earn?
What does the Speaker of a municipality actually do?

Silence. Or confidently incorrect answers.

I do this exercise often, and the pattern is remarkably consistent.

The average South African simply hasn’t been given enough civic education to fully understand the democratic system they’re participating in. Until we fix that, many people will continue to vote based on biases, echo chambers, inherited loyalties, misinformation, or educated guesses.

And it’s not just MK supporters. It’s not just ANC, DA, EFF, ActionSA or anyone else. It’s all of us.

The irony is that many voters have already decided who they’ll support months before manifestos are even released. That alone tells us that policy is often not what determines electoral choices.

Democracy doesn’t just require the right to vote. It requires citizens who understand what they’re voting for, how government works, and how to hold those in power accountable.

If we want better governance, we have to invest in better civic education.

National Treasury behaves like they are above everyone in this constitutional democracy. The sooner we cut them to size, the better for this economy.

The City of Cape Town has more than tripled the number of security escorts for municipal workers. Monthly deployments have increased from 275 to 890 amid rising extortion and violent crime.

Your government is testing what you'll tolerate and a lot of us are tolerating way way WAY too much.

[REBEL @rebelreloaded]

Every time black South Africans are under attack, the silence is deafening. The Muslims are quiet. The whites are quiet. The Pan-Africanists vanish. SAHRC finds its voice for everyone except us. The Helen Suzman Foundation is nowhere to be seen. The NGOs disappear. Our own government abandons us. The Africa Union & UN looks away. The so-called African leaders have nothing to say. Then, the moment we demand nothing more than the enforcement of South Africa’s laws, we’re branded “xenophobic.”

Black South Africans, no one is coming to save or fight for you. If we don’t stand up for ourselves, no one else will. Our future will be secured by us, or it won’t be secured at all.

This is how the ZEP/LEP were issued. They were justified under Section 31(2)(c) of the Immigration Act, which gives the Minister of Home Affairs the power to waive certain visa or regulatory requirements for foreign nationals.

That is the provision that should be challenged.
