Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga clashed with Brigadier Julius Mkhwanazi during testimony, with Mkhwanazi retorting, โI think youโre losing it,โ a remark that left Madlanga visibly angry.

The decision to support Jacob Zuma was not my personal choice or private project โ it was a congress resolution, taken collectively by a democratic organisation. That historical fact matters.
But collective decisions do not erase individual responsibility. I take full responsibility for my part โ entirely and without qualification.
I am among two or three who have repeatedly apologised publicly and without excuses for this error. We do so not because we are forced, but because conscience demands it.
We ignored two major warning signs that were in plain sight:
The Shabir Shaik corruption trial, especially the evidence around the R500,000 bribe involving Thales โ and the rape trial, with all its disturbing details.
We convinced ourselves that these were secondary issues compared to what we believed were more urgent priorities at the time:
decent work through industrialisation, mass employment creation, quality education, accessible healthcare, land redistribution/food security, and the fight against crime and corruption.
That was our tragic mistake.
We failed to grasp a fundamental truth:
There can be no progressive programme without ethical leadership.
There can be no development agenda without integrity.
There can be no justice without accountability.
By separating policy goals from moral leadership, we blinded ourselves. In doing so, we helped open the door to institutional decay and the looting of the very democratic project.
It was not just an error of judgement.
It was a political blunder of historic proportions.
I own that. But then can we move forward instead of forever debating 2005?

Fighter Nthabiseng Tshivhenga has been redeployed to the Gauteng Provincial Legislature by the EFF.
She brings immense experience, having previously served as the Speaker of Council in Ekurhuleni.
Iโm seeing charlatans celebrating her โresignation,โ but honestly, how else was she supposed to move to the Legislature? ๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ
Did you expect her to hold two positions, Speaker and MPL at the same time? ๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ
