If we had a functioning criminal justice system, these individuals attacking people in the streets would have long been arrested and charged with public violence and inciting hatred. Some political parties, desperate for votes, are openly supporting this.

[Nolwazi Tusini @NolwAzi_Tusini]

SAn news media (particularly broadcasters) need to collectively reflect and take accountability for how your coverage of the xenophobic sentiment/“protest” has contributed to increasing violence instead of providing verified information to the public- which is your responsibility

[Mmusi Maimane MP @MmusiMaimane]

You cannot use hate speech, incite violence and then claim you are not responsible for the violence caused by your rhetoric.

You cannot march around looting and beating South Africans who do not speak like you or look like you and then be surprised that you inspired harm.

Johannesburg currently has a budget bigger than about 15 sovereign African countries and its failure is catastrophic for this country.

Stark warning from MSF: "Never before has an Ebola outbreak recorded so many cases so soon. Nobody knows its true scale. New cases are reported daily, yet hundreds of samples remain untested. Border and airport closures delay the arrival of critical aid."

News24 rightly look really bad in this. There should be a press council ruling, and the DA, GOOD, and the parliamentary committee chairman should all make public apologies. I'm not holding my breath for the minister to apologise. https://t.co/UwbW1cJeCp

TREASURY WARNING: The last three paragraphs of the Finance Minister’s letter to Jhb Mayor, Dada Morero, are hugely significant…

“The City signed an agreement with the South African Municipal Workers Union (SAMWU) in November 2025 committing to R10.3 billion in salary increases over the next two years to address a wage dispute. Given that the City is in financial distress, it is unclear how it intends to fund these salary increases over the MTREF.

Taking into cognizance the current state of finances using the creditors and cash equivalents as a matrix, you have committed the City into a financial obligation that is not possible to fulfil. Of concern is that this decision is a direct transgression of MFMA and budget and reporting regulations. You are requested to indicate what measures will be implemented and how this violation will be arrested or reversed.

You are hereby directed to stop proceeding with the implementation of this illegally signed agreement that has the potential to destroy the sustainability of the City of Johannesburg beyond this term of Office as well as the negative impact on the national economy at large. Secondly, not only is your Adjustments Budget not funded in terms of Section 18 of the MFMA, but you very well know the City cannot afford this agreement.”
