@MaxduPreez Yes, Julius Malema did. So did Zuma, and now Ramaphosa. In fact, the same is true of every ANC, EFF, and MK councillor serving in ANC-run municipalities and metros.
@ShareenSingh8 Good overview of the ANC's domination politics. Everyone must be their version of a 'South African'. That is why all schools are the colonial English, etc. The fact that someone is Zulu, makes them a South African and vice versa. I am South African because of my Afrikaner roots.
@ShareenSingh8 What bear? The ANC? Afriforum is saving all South Africans from economic disaster. Just like they are saving South Africans in many ANC-run municipalities from dysfunctional services. Those communities are not blind, they thank Afriforum, so should you.
@32Bophelo@FaraiMazhindu A legal process has the same outcome: private property for nil compensation. Who decides what is 'just and equitable'? You can dress and put make up on a pig, it is still a pig. ๐
Line up 100 people and ask them why Africa is poor.
You will hear colonialism first. Then slavery, racism, and corruption.
Almost nobody will say: because this is the region where wealth creators are least free to create wealth.
As long as we miss that, we will keep prescribing the wrong solutions.
@ME_Beaumont ASA likes to point out the DA and FF+ are in the GNU. What ASA fails to explain is the fact that they are in coalition with Lesufi's ANC and the EFF in Gauteng Metro's. In short, the gangsters who are responsible for turning our Metro's into shitholes. So, don't vote for ASA.
@MYANC And that ladies and gentlemen is the bullshit race obsessed ideology that transforms ANC run municipalities and Metros into shitholes, enrich a few black elite, rob young people (especially poor black) from a better future, and increase unemployment year after year.
@SABCNews Seeing the level of plain stupid ideological comments, it is no wonder that South Africa's share to Africa's total nominal GDP (in current US dollars) dropped from 28% in 1994 to 15% in 2025. Their African counter parts understand basic economics better that these SA clowns.
@MpodukaMoka@SABCNews And that ladies and gentlemen is the bullshit ideology that transforms ANC run municipalities and Metros into shitholes, rob young people (especially poor black) from a better future, and increase unemployment year after year.
@CoolLood Don't mistake the news crew e.g. Adrian Basson and Kie with other News24 employees who work in the sport section, Huisgenoot, and other publications. You write as if they all hold the same views as Adrian and kie. Have a heart.
@Brettbenraphael To add: Elite capture (and patronage), is not business. They use power, instead of innovation and skill, to close deals. It is the worse kind of manipulative resource extraction. Those who benefit from that has therefore no motivation (or skill) to reinvest to promote growth.
@GaytonMcK@OnsBaizaNie The PA wants to invite the corrupt ANC and EFF back as they do in JHB Metro's. You have no idea what a shithole is until you've seen JHB. And the Nigerian drug gangs is a national issue for crime intelligence.
@JacoKleynhans What do you expect from a General from an army that is in the disastrous state that it is in? Not, to even mention, the disastrous state of the Russian army. At least Russia and SA has something to talk about.
@afriforum Afriforum does more for all South Africans, including the constituents of the useless and corrupt fake revolutionary councilors of the EFF, ANC, MK Party, etc.
@AdriaanBasson Social connectedness is strengthened through culture, religion, language, traditions, and arts. Why is it acceptable for communities worldwide but not for Afrikaners? How exactly does it contribute to isolation? ๐คJansen has a narrow ideological view on isolation.
@TheEconomist Do you have a workable proposal? Elon's proposal is pragmatic in the context of a complete void of any realistic government interventions.
@RenaldoGouws It is a storm in a tea cup. It was a company linked to Ryan Coetzee. Considering his extensive competencies and skills, I think it was a no brainer to secure his services.
