@AxolileNotywala Dude. You know these are private sales, right? I can sell my home to anyone I want. The DA is not invited to that decision.

[Jules Newton @Avojules]

@GvanOnselen I think you missed Derreleen in CT. Announced on same day as Geordin.

[Jules Newton @Avojules]

@LadyMpopi @News24 So Steehuizen can barely speak Afrikaans. He's not an Afrikaner

[Jules Newton @Avojules]

@Samkelo26428 @News24 Ja but he's not serving well. DA wants excellence and this man alienated his key stakeholders: the farmers. You can't improve agriculture when there is bad blood between the department and the growers. A bit like Gwede and the mines..

@govanwhittles In my street in Kensington neighbours had to stop someone for parking their car at the tank and washing it! Good argument was that the car was dirty.

[Jules Newton @Avojules]

@DereleenJ How will you make CT more affordable?

[Jules Newton @Avojules]

@ewnupdates Lol

[Jules Newton @Avojules]

@errolbsk I think that all the accountability action taken and the firing and suspension of delinquent ministers us because DA demands accountability.

[Jules Newton @Avojules]

@BrianHeunis @geordinhl @Our_DA @DAGauteng @CilliersB To elevate the issue and shame the relevant departments into doing something

This South African- grown science is truly amazing!

[CSIR 🇿🇦 @CSIR]

Watch: #TeamCSIR and the University of Nairobi are turning skin cells from African donors into stem cell lines for global medical research – the goal is that future medicines work better for Africa's unique and diverse genetic profiles. As part of the CSIR-hosted African Cell Initiative™, the skin cells will first be converted into stem cells and then into nearly any type of cell required for early testing of therapies to treat a range of diseases.

The CSIR brings pluripotent stem cell and cell line generation expertise to this partnership, while the University of Nairobi brings extensive clinical trial experience and East African skin cell donor networks.

This project is funded by the South African Medical Research Council, in partnership with the UK Research and Innovation Medical Research Council, carried out through a multi-institutional collaboration spanning Africa and the United Kingdom.

@errolbsk Kokstad is functioning fairly well

[Jules Newton @Avojules]

@RediTlhabi Words matter.

[Jules Newton @Avojules]

@tumisole Clean streets, functioning infrastructure, reliable water and electricity, growing economy, increased employment... sounds like a terrible future to be avoided at all costs. Rather vote ANC to maintain the status quo.

Having used Starlink in SA i can testify it's far superior to any SA equivalent. I live in the deep rurals.

[Phumzile Van Damme @zilevandamme]

“Evan Feinman, who directed the [US rural internet] program for the last 3 years, wrote in a email to staff that Starlink’s satellite internet is “inferior” to alternatives, “delivering slower speeds at higher costs to the household paying the bill.”

So. 🤚🏾

@ewnupdates Lies! No bypass of BEE legislation is proposed. Only a full application of the 2013 legislation which includes equity equivalents as a legitimate BEE route. Please will you be accurate in your reporting or you are serving the BEE billionaire class that wants to loot further.

[Jules Newton @Avojules]

@JvanLogg @wicks_jeff So this is what political appetite for accountability feels like...

[Jules Newton @Avojules]

Clearly they helped. #1 City in the world....

[Daily Investor @DailyInvestorSA]

The City of Cape Town spent R1.002 billion on consultants in the 2025 financial year, an increase of 785% in a decade.

@insidepols Love this!

[Jules Newton @Avojules]

@errolbsk Perhaps the GNU is bringing accountability culture? He has been in charge for many years with no arrests...

[Jules Newton @Avojules]

Love this magical South African moment..

[Karyn Maughan @karynmaughan]

The way South Africans love and celebrate each other’s joy is truly unmatched.
This is so beautiful.
