Gauteng pays R34 MILLION a month for rented buildings, many empty & abandoned, while owning 41 unused properties! 😡
DA oversight uncovered the scandal: R408 million/year rent, potentially R2 billion over 5 years. Five buildings leased from one highly connected individual (Herbert Telegdy). Owned buildings like 78 Fox Street (R168m value) sit neglected, only lifts need fixing to house 11 departments & save millions.
Empty rented offices (e.g., 55 Fox Street for Education Dept) are filthy & unsafe – yet rent keeps flowing. Premier shocked last year, promised 3-month investigation – a year later, no report!
This is taxpayer money wasted while residents suffer sewage, outages, potholes. DA demands: Full audit, stop the bleed, redirect funds to real service delivery!
Enough corruption & waste – Gauteng deserves better! 💙

@CityofJoburgZA@CityPowerJhb we’ve just come out of a 24 hour power interruption due to cable faults. Less than 24 hours later and power is off again in Oakdene and surrounds. Your incompetence has reached new levels
@CityPowerJhb residents are going to vote later this year based on your performance to keep the lights on. @CityofJoburgZA and @JoburgWater take note. Residents in Oakdene and surrounds are gatvol!!
17:56 on 8 Jan 2026 power goes out in Oakdene and numerous suburbs south of Jhb. 18 hours to locate the fault. 36 hours later and still no power. Russia bombs Ukraine, knocks out a nuclear power station 45 minutes later power is restored @CityofJoburgZA@CityPowerJhb
Four years ago today, whistleblower Babita Deokaran sent a chilling message to her boss:
"Our lives could be in danger." 12 days later, she was dead.
This is the story of that warning, in a @News24 🧵. #BabitaDeokaran
@WOOLWORTHS_SA what is happening with your meat supply? For more than a week the Gauteng stores haven’t been getting meat from its distribution centre and staff can’t give any answers #woolworths
We need to make bold decisions to get Gauteng and the City of JHB from.this disastrous collapse. Love her or not, we need to force Helen Zille out of retirement I guarantee she will fix City of JHB in less than 2 years. She was world mayor of the year in 2008. I know this is a far shot,but the no nonsense workaholic with make Johannesburg CBD similar to Cape Town.
Some times bold decisions needs to be taken for the country not on party political lines but for the better of the country. If it's party political lines then either Parks Tau or Kgosientso Ramokgopa must be deployed.

@CityPowerJhb power to the Oakdene area was interrupted at 01:00 on 4 January 2025. It is more than 24 hours now and power still hasn’t been restored. Ticket was opened yesterday morning and closed this morning. New ticket was opened CPWEB4489258
For centuries, naturopaths used nature's medicine.
Then Big Pharma buried it.
But they missed Barbara O’Neill—a 71-year-old naturopath proving nature still heals what modern doctors can’t.

THE INTERNET NEVER FORGETS. HOW PANYAZA LESUFI PERSONALLY DROVE THE APPOINTMENT OF KABELO GWAMANDA
No matter what Panyaza Lesufi says today about Kabelo Gwamanda, on 5th May 2023 Panyaza Lesufi personally drove the appointment of Kabelo Gwamanda as mayor. Even with major objections from within ANC, Panyaza Lesufi said "THE ANC HAS ONE CANDIDATE ONLY FOR MAYOR AND THAT IS COUNCILLOR KABELO GWAMANDA"
Lesufi personally attended the council meeting to make sure Gwamanda is elected.
