@Sentletse @mzuzups You can clearly see there are 5154 registered voters there… your number don’t add up, the numbers suggested as results make sense… get a calculator or read everything before spreading fake news

[AGOA] ON U.S. and SOUTH AFRICA BILATERAL RELATIONSHIP

What Redi Tlhabi, Chris Maroleng, and Anthony Carroll had to tell the U.S. Congress About South Africa

Redi Tlhabi:

��There are a lot of politicians who say stupid things. there is a minister, who recently said something about the CIA funding non profit organizations. That’s a lot of nonsense and it gets called out in South Africa.”

“It is true that South Africa benefits richly from its relationship with the United States, far more than it does from its relationship with Russia.
South Africa also has far more in common with the United States and shares common values and norms - an independent judiciary, checks and balances, a free press and a robust civil society that pushes back against state excesses. There is much to value and salvage from this relationship.
However, African states don't want to seem weak. They do not want to be seen to be doing the bidding of the United States. Their peers and constituencies may punish them for that.”

Chris Maroleng:

“The US and Africa as a whole can forge a relationship that is mutually beneficial and supports the development goals of both parties. May we be so bold as to suggest that our organisation is the perfect intermediary for such interventions, given the antipathy displayed by members of the governing party to certain messages?”

Anthony Carroll:

“And SA has a robust civil society that forced President Thabo Mbeki to abandon his disastrous policies on HIV/AIDS and took to the streets to protest the excesses of "State Capture" during the destructive presidency of Jacob Zuma. Recently, a public ombudsman was removed by Parliament on suspicion of corruption and overreach.
Yet, while clearly not a failed state, by many measures, South Africa is a failing one.”

@247AfricanFacts That little man got bounced, shame…

[Conal Da Costa @DaCostaRepublic]

@Eskom_SA It’s so cool that you decided to use a 3rd party company to provide us with electricity meters on an expensive software license even though we have innovative engineers in SA… Can’t wait for the next license renewal, hoping they’ll hold the country to a larger ransom! so cool!

[Conal Da Costa @DaCostaRepublic]

@Eskom_SA It’s so cool how you apologise for something you’re not sorry for… I want to be like you when I grow up some day…

[Conal Da Costa @DaCostaRepublic]

@Eskom_SA @geordinhl It’s so cool that you’re keeping all these people busy with false promises making them believe you’re actually going to make a difference… truly a wow moment, so inspired!

[Conal Da Costa @DaCostaRepublic]

@Eskom_SA It’s so cool that you’re making an entire country share electricity on a schedule that’s always changing and isn’t reliable and requires 3rd parties to inform your customers, so cool!

[Conal Da Costa @DaCostaRepublic]

@Eskom_SA It’s so cool that you’re coming up with archaic ways to limit usage so you can avoid turning off electricity to people not paying for it because we’re living in 1999 and you can’t turn a specific house off… so cool!

[Conal Da Costa @DaCostaRepublic]

@Eskom_SA It’s so cool and nostalgic that you make us live in 1999…

[Conal Da Costa @DaCostaRepublic]

@miksdacosta I used to do that… physical movements made things stay in my head for easy recall…
