Could someone calmly, without emotion, explain the divergence of opinion between News24 and everyone else regarding Andrea Johnson? Just the facts: how and why. I’ve been trying to figure it out…🤷🏾♀️
She advises the Minister by day and sues the state by night. Conflict of interest? Or just a very lucrative hustle?
How is this allowed? Chidimma case is already decided behind doors… am all this theatrics of going to court is just standard procedure.
When we asked about the citizenship status of Phillip Craig. The DA Minister of Home Affairs hid behind POPIA yet when he was asked about Chidimmas mother, he didn’t have any issues answering.
The “GNU” has emboldened racists !!

The Western Cape High Court has ruled against the @CityofCT and @our_da in an application where the City wanted to impose fixed tariffs on water, sanitation and cleaning charges.
The court found that the fixed rates and charges imposed by the City of Cape Town were unlawful, invalid and were set aside.
Here’s an important paragraph from the judgment:
[140] As we have demonstrated, a municipality does not have an unconstrained power to charge fees for services at its own discretion.
The exercise of such fiscal power is subject to important constitutional and legislative constraints. This ensures that the exercise of such power is not unlimited or unconstrained but i s subject to law, which requires a careful balancing of the municipality's obligation to provide services with the rights and duties of its residents and ratepayers.’
Big ups to @brettherron & @ForGoodZA on taking this up
Well done to Afriforum 😝 for advancing some good arguments too on this matter opposing the fixed rates!
Judgment will be on SAFLII soon
