@TaniaVanZy2228@Jonathan_Witt I have waited this long for simple part for Mercedes, Audi, Porsche and BMW. No real difference there. Buy any brand of virtually anything not manufactured next to your house and you will wait.
Just remember @geordinhl you opened these floodgates, under the guidance of communist coetzee, and the criticism here is actually factual so it won’t be community noted like you were. Please stop listening to idiots with track records of nothing but failure.
Pieter Groenewald is one of the best, if not the best, ministers in the GNU. Perfect, no, but he’s far superior to most of the ANC’s cadres and the DA’s deployees.
Everything the DA does is by committee and is planned.
Therefore the attack on Groenewald is either to distract from the DA’s current failures (a fair conclusion) or it’s to divert attention from a forthcoming scandal which is yet to break.
I’m interested to see what might be coming down the line that they genuinely thought setting GHL’s reputation on fire was worth it.
Come on, @Our_DA@jsteenhuisen@geordinhl . This is getting embarrassing.
You’re screaming about 28,000 “missing” parolees like Pieter Groenewald personally opened the prison gates yesterday and waved them goodbye. But even your beloved AmaBhungane report, the one you’re waving around, admits that over 15,860 of them are “archived absconders” from 1991 to 2004. That’s the ANC’s golden era of cadre deployment and total system collapse.
Groenewald’s been in the job for less than two years, cleaning up a department that was a dumpster fire long before he got there. Yet here you are, slapping his face on dramatic graphics and demanding he be summoned like a criminal, while your own ministers get gentle handshakes for their disasters.
We all see the hypocrisy and selective outrage, pure GNU infighting as you’re pretending to be concerned about safety. South Africans aren’t stupid. We can read the fine print. If you’re going to play this game, at least be consistent and own the decades of rot you helped inherit.
Stop the cheap shots and fix the damn system together, or the voters will fix you at the next election.

This is, without a shadow of a doubt, a coordinated attack on Minister Groenewald and the @VFPlus because the party is becoming very popular and is outshining the DA.
So instead of speaking internally with John Steenhuisen and the other ministers who are doing terribly, they decide to instruct their social media team to distract people from the dumpster fire that is the Department of Agriculture.
I think anyone with a functioning brain can see this for what it is, and once again the DA are showing its true colours. Instead of holding Ronald Lamola accountable for his utterings or any other minister in the GNU, they decide to attack the best-performing one.
The Desperate Alliance is on full display.
It’s not every day that I read something that depresses me this much.
Last time I checked, the ANC were the ones wrecking the country. Not the VF+.
Unforced friendly fire.
DA Leader, Geording Hill Lewis, has scored a massive own goal by trying to blame Minister Pieter Groenewald for an issue that is 35 years old. This is a clear tactic by him to divert attention away from his failing ministers, like John Steenhuisen.

@geordinhl Are you ok man? What a tantrum. So @helenzille will hopefully inherit the cataclysmic disaster which is Johannesburg. Would you think it fair to have her attacked by close allies for what she didn’t manage to do in her first year or so? Impossible to fix it all in a term. Né?
@geordinhl You could have just apologised, but instead... You doubled down. This is why they call the DA arrogant. Watch how they replace you after the 2026 municipal elections.
It can not be stated enough just how bad this messaging is from GHL:
- the FF+ is a natural ally of the DA, not a foe
- it is well known that the DA has lost support to the FF+ because of Steenhuisen’s behaviour, but this will not convince a return
- opinions vary but many consider Groenewald to be the best Minister in the GNU and not any of the DA Minsters. Attacking him comes across as jealous and petty
- the issue being raised by GHL was not created by Groenewald or the FF+, but he is trying to sort it out. Imagine this logic of attack being applied to Macpherson who still has no control over thousands of assets of state owned infrastructure, or Schreiber who has numerically done nothing to stem/reverse illegal immigration
- criticizing someone outside the DA for holding a “talk shop” is very rich when the DA does this exact thing often
- lastly is that Helen Zille will likely be the Mayor of Johannesburg by year end. Just imagine all of the things she will not be able to fix in her first 2 years - GHL just opened the floodgates on hammering her without rebuke
Whomever advised this as a strategy needs to be fired immediately, and the DA really needs to learn how to predict the future consequences of their words and actions better. My goodness.
IF SOMEONE IS CONVICTED OF RAPING A CHILD, EXECUTE THEM PUBLICLY. SAME DAY AS THE CONVICTION. NO EXCEPTIONS.
I DON’T CARE WHO THEY ARE.
I DON’T WANT IT TO BE HUMANE.
I WANT THE WHOLE WORLD TO SEE IT.
MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF THEM.
