@ThabisoMosia Last derby I wanted to use the bus from Clearwater but the R100 price tag and the fact that the last bus was leaving the stadium at 18:00 was not going to work for me.
🚨 ALERT: Flooded roads in Soweto
Due to ongoing heavy rainfall, the following road surfaces have become flooded and unsafe for public use. Please avoid these areas:
📍 Elias Motsoaledi Rd, Dobsonville (near the Rea Vaya Station)
📍 Fuschia Rd and Makhubu St, Klipspruit West.
Exactly. Like honestly, if you have the money and you want it, buy the R1200 wine glass. But if it's going to be an issue if a guest accidentally breaks it, don't give it to them.
Not about their view of the club. It's natural to drop slightly when facing weaker opponents. Do you think they also drop when playing Chiefs or Pirates?
So this is how the likes of Modiba, Ronwen, Tebza etc think of the club, that its unworthy of their best each match & that they ll only perform at their best when their positions in the National team is hanging by a thread?
I kind of strongly agree with you. I have Stella Artois glasses that I value. I got them as "free" gifts with my beer purchases. I do not offer those to guests. I rather have them break my other glasses than the Stella ones. Glasses break. Give your guests the dispensable ones.
Well, you guys don't pay your employees. You are too focussed on legislature and executive members. You forgot that the party needs to function outside the state. 🤣🤣
The failure to submit Municipalities and set of candidates to the IEC is a scandalous incident that cannot be joked about . As leadership if we cannot be embarrassed by this we aren't worth the idea
OPINION PIECE: South Africa’s International Debt Trap Is What Apartheid Minister Du Plessis Wished He Could Do Before Losing Power; Treasury Is Doing It Today
I dare say, since the @MYANC SG said they are not interested in running @Treasury_RSA, it is that Treasury which is more dangerous than some racists in @Our_DA holding onto apartheid nostalgia.
Honorable @ZungulaVuyo asks a very important question.
Barend du Plessis, a member of the National Party (that racist party which presided over a crime against humanity), was one of the last Ministers of Finance before the collapse of apartheid. He said, about economic policy in his time as Minister of Finance, that he should have locked South Africa into IMF loans so that in post-apartheid South Africa, black South Africans would just be running around in the shadows while the economy was already locked in.
During the Zuma era, the National Treasury experienced its most turbulent period in the past 31 years or so of this democracy, the money was moving too fast for their liking.
Immediately after that, South Africa has been on a rampage of internationally denominated loans. The numbers tell the story: since 2020, National Treasury has taken on billions in foreign-currency debt: a US$4.3 billion IMF Rapid Financing Instrument at the height of COVID in 2020, a US$1 billion World Bank development policy loan in 2022, and a steady annual drip of loans from the African Development Bank, KfW, and the French Development Bank ever since. We are trading our sovereignty for a financial buffer, opening the door to the privatisation of South Africa’s public assets and leaving this country at the mercy of Western powers.
This has accelerated since the 2024 election, with the ANC’s loss of its parliamentary majority and no prospect of reversing it. In 2025 and 2026 alone, National Treasury signed a US$1.5 billion World Bank development policy loan, a US$0.5 billion KfW loan, a US$0.475 billion African Development Bank loan, and a further US$1.5 billion World Bank loan still to be finalised. Most tellingly, three separate 2026 loans (US$0.925 billion from the World Bank, EUR0.2 billion from KfW, and US$0.5 billion from the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank) are earmarked specifically to “Support Metro Trading Reform.” Nearly US$1.6 billion, tied directly to restructuring how our municipalities trade.
Dr @LardoStander asked me an important question, where is this infrastructure because we don’t see it.
And you want to tell me some senior managers at National Treasury are just innocently doing their job? You are not paying attention. Whose interest are they serving? Commissar @Sinawo_Thambo😖

Real Madrid play Inter Milan on Tuesday, so La Liga moved their league game to Friday to give them more rest. Meanwhile, Barça have a UCL game on Wednesday but are still playing on Sunday. Why couldn't La Liga have scheduled Barca match for Saturday instead? If Madrid were treated like this, social media would be full of complaints about La Liga deliberately sabotaging them.
